Gundam is making a grand return to Anime Expo this summer with an electrifying live event, exclusive giveaways, and a musical performance that fans won’t want to miss. Bandai Namco Filmworks has officially announced that NOMELON NOLEMON—the acclaimed music duo made up of creator tsumiki and singer-songwriter MIKIMARIA—will perform live at the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Special Event panel, part of Gundam Rising in Los Angeles, taking place Thursday, July 3 at the Peacock Theater.
The duo will take the stage with a performance of their hit insert song “Midnight Reflection” from the series. The event will also feature concert footage from opening theme artist Kenshi Yonezu and a special video message from ending theme performer Hoshimachi Suisei.
A Star-Studded Celebration for Gundam Fans
The two-part event kicks off at 11:30 AM with a theatrical screening of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX – Beginning (exclusive to in-person attendees), followed by a talk and live performance segment from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.

About the Series
Currently streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S., Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is a bold new entry in the franchise. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and produced by the legendary studios khara (EVANGELION) and SUNRISE, the series follows Amate Yuzuriha, a seemingly ordinary high school girl drawn into the high-stakes world of underground mobile suit dueling. As “Machu,” she finds herself at the center of a mystery involving a rogue Gundam and a fugitive pilot named Shuji.
