On July 5, 2020 (Sun), voice actress and artist Marie Uchida held her first live broadcast live "Hello, ONLINE contact! During the live, the decision to produce her 11th single was announced.

Originally, a solo live performance at Yokohama Arena was scheduled for July 5. Unfortunately, due to the current situation, the live performance at Yokohama Arena was cancelled.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, the band members appeared on the screen playing the opening song with Morse code, and the MAAYA BAND (Ba: Katsuhiko Kurosu, Gt: Yosuke Yamamoto, Key: Jun Imai, Dr: Kazuhiro Murata, MNP: Tomonori Ogushi) appeared on stage to lead the audience to hear Marie Uchida's "Hello, ONLINE contact! ONLINE contact! and opened the live with the opening number, "Hello, 1st contact".

Uchida appeared on stage in pink-colored costume. Since this was a live performance for delivery, many different effects were added to the live performance from the usual ones. First of all, the band members were dispersed throughout the venue, both on the stage and in the audience seating area. A "cavalry-like" style was adopted, as Uchida put it, with an awareness of social distance.

The on-stage screen was decorated with VJs incorporating images from PVs and live performances, as well as clap videos submitted by fan club members for "Love for All Stars" and message cards for "No Scenario". During "Shiny drive, Moony dive," the audience left the stage and climbed into a red car prepared on the side of the stage to sing to the fans seated in the passenger seats, enhancing their sense of unity with the fans.

Then, during "Rhapsody of a witch who wants to be a witch and a witch who wants to be a princess," the duet partner, Sumire Uesaka, made a surprise appearance in the video. The singing scene itself was filmed in advance, but after the song, she appeared live remotely and added to the live performance with her friendly talk with Uchida.

This was the first live broadcast live performance. Despite the fact that she could not directly feel the audience's reaction to her performance, Uchida showed no signs of anxiety as she performed with an imposing presence on stage. During the last song, "Hello, future contact!", there was a scene where Uchida was moved to tears, but she sang through the entire song with a big smile on her face and, with great energy, reported that she had decided to produce her 11th single. The live concert ended with renewed memories.

After the live, Katsuhiko Kurosu, producer Akihiro Tomita, and Pony Canyon's Tokio, who handled the live production, held an after-talk session to review the live. During the talk, the details of the 11th single were announced once again.

The much-awaited 11th single is scheduled for release on November 25, 2020. It was revealed that kz (livetune) and TAKU INOUE will participate as creators, each writing lyrics and arranging each other's songs, and a new artist photo was also revealed.

Tickets for "Hello, ONLINE contact!" can be purchased at ZAIKO until 12:00 pm on Sunday, July 12. The archive will be available until 23:59 on the same day, so if you missed it, be sure to check it out.
