[Event Report] Countdown Party “VIVA COUNTDOWN CARNIVAL ~2025-2026~” Held!
Happy New Year!
To finish the 2025 in a blast, we hosted out a final countdown party called ”VIVA COUNTDOWN CARNIVAL ～2025－2026～”
Today we are excited to share just some of the many highlights from that unforgettable night.
For one day only, the 1st floor was transformed into a Brazilian themed space.
As soon as you stepped inside, you could feel a colourful and energetic atmosphere, making it feel as if you were in Brazil.
Latin music performed by DJs DJ MARFEL・DJ K4K4・WATARU filled the venue, creating an atmosphere where you couldn’t help but want to move your body. Before long, the whole room was dancing and moving in rhythm, making it feel like a real carnival.
In 2024, ERICA took part in the Rio Carnival as a member of Beija-Flor, becoming the first Japanese dancer to perform on the Special Team Beija-Flor float.
She returned again in 2025 for a second year, and the team went on to win the Rio Carnival that year.
Led by ERICA, the dance show was powerful, and unforgettable.
Guests and dancers soon found themselves dancing together and moving freely to the music.
As everyone got lost in the music, language and nationality differences faded away, and a natural sense of unity filled the venue.

The venue filled with guests as the countdown drew near, and the Latin energy and excitement came to a head.
The moment finally arrived.
Surrounded by vibrant Latin music and an exhilarating dance show, we welcomed the start of 2026 in high spirits.
This countdown event marked a perfect finale to 2025. What did you think?
In 2026, THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI will continue to bring you one-of-a-kind experiences, so please look forward to our next event.
We hope to welcome you again soon!
