On 25 March, she debuted her fourth outfit. Her 4th outfit, commonly referred to as the "Goddess outfit" has Nene unleash her full tenshi powers, becoming even more angelic than before. In this outfit, Nene gains a hood that can be placed over her head. Taking the hood off reveals a new set of angel wings on the side of her head. These are in addition to the ones that she has on her back. The outfit features two different hairstyles: a braided side ponytail and long hair. The braid is commonly used while she has the hood on as the braid allows for some of her hair to come out of the hood on her left side. Her long hair style is similar to what has been seen with her other outfits, but with some changes. This version of her long hair is longer than the hair seen in her casual outfit and her first 3D idol outfit. Additionally, unlike the long hair styles from before, this version simply has the hair going straight down, featuring none of the "hair loops" seen in the other versions.

As for the outfit itself, The outfit is primarily white, featuring golden and blue accessories. The head features a golden headband with a jewel in the center. Both of her hair styles can be seen featuring her angel wing hairclips and a new snowflake-like hairclip. Going down, her neck area features a golden neckband along with a golden necklace that has a white center accompanied by two angel wings on its side. The hood is seen fastened together by a golden band. Her chest is covered by two white cloths overlapping one another and meeting in the back. On top of the cloth, golden chains can be seen that meet in the middle, centering on a golden star with a blue jewel in the middle. Her arms feature transparent sleeves that hide underneath the same kind of blue jewel. Along her writs are golden bands with white frills at the end, sporting the blue jewel around the bands. Her bottom half features a kind of leotard-corset that has golden edges, with blue straps at the midsection tying it together before leading down to some white flaps. The corset opens in the middle allowing for her stomach and belly button to be seen. Attached to the corset is a long, transparent piece of fabric that is shorter in the front and longer in the back, with blue jewels decorating it near Nene's waist. Through this fabric, a small garter belt can be seen attached to a pair of thigh garters on each of her legs. This outfit features no shoes, instead showing off Nene's painted toenails, but it still has white bands looped around her calves.

On 22 April, she released her first original song "Touching Clouds."

On 1 July, she participated in the irl live concert "Forever Bloom"(the first 3D VTuber concert in the USA) held at the El Rey Theatre, in Los Angeles California.

On 9 September, she had her first solo live concert "Heavenly Escape" where she debuted her second 3D Idol outfit. The concert featured 15 songs, 3 of which were played for free on her Youtube channel. The third song was where Nene featured her new 3D outfit, referred to as the Nene-Hime(princess) outfit. This outfit was originally only meant to feature one hair style, the ponytail, but Nene requested a second hair style which is how the long hair style came to be. Both styles feature her hair longer than it has ever been, seeing her hair nearly touch the floor. The ponytail starts high up on her head and comes down in a wavy fashion. This style does not have her wearing her signature angel wing hair clip, but her long hair style does. Instead, the ponytail has her wearing a lavender and white bow where her ponytail starts. Her long hair sees her hair in full form, going straight down her back before stopping just above the floor. This hair style also features Nene wearing a tiara causing her to look like a princess or queen, which is where the idea for the name of the outfit came from.

The outfit is perhaps her most complicated yet. The outfit's primary colors are white and lavender, with a grey-ish mesh fabric covering the center of her body. The outfit as a whole is most akin to a bodysuit, however Nene's does not cover her full body, leaving a small gap above her stomach and gaps between the sleeves. The neck and upper chest portion features a pure white top, stretching downward to the top of her chest before meeting the mesh that covers her chest, while going outward along her collar before stopping halfway along her shoulders. Around her neck a beaded lavender necklace can be seen, its appearance being similar to that of her lavender and beaded tiara. The end of the neckpiece has layers of white frills attached to it. Her sleeves are not attached to the rest of her outfit. These sleeves have lavender frills at the top, contrasting the white frills of her neckpiece, with a white ribbon attached to each sleeve at the upper portion. The sleeve then expands outward becoming very fluffy at her elbow before becoming tight along her forearm. Lavender wrist-beads can be seen at her wrists, looping around and forming an "X" before the sleeves end of open up around the palms of her hands.

As this is a type of bodysuit, not much skin is shown. The main areas of skin that are shown are her shoulders and upper arms, the sides of her chest, and a large portion of her upper back. Her back continues to have her signature tenshi wings at her shoulder blades. Along the middle section of the back a zipper for the outfit can be seen. The back also features a large white and lavender ribbon that starts at the lower end of her hips, covering much of her bottom back, along with partially transparent section of the ribbon. The ends of the ribbon also feature a golden diamond hanging from the tips of each side. The mesh fabric can be seen primarily on her front, but can also be observed on her back. This mesh starts at the upper part of her chest, running downward and becoming thinner at her lower chest before opening back up slightly at her stomach and waist before going down to the inner thigh and eventually stopping halfway down her thighs. Her chest portion has a white fabric covering the mesh, with frills on the topside. Below and to the side of her chest piece, white fabric can be seen surrounding the mesh in the center in a wavy pattern with a small, lavender center along the lower sides of her chest, flowing down and stopping at her hips. There are 3 golden jewels around her waist that indicate the stomach portion of her outfit attaching to the leg portion. Also along the hips, lavender bottoms can be seen covering the mesh on both sides of her body, which are tucked underneath the white sections when they go around her hips. The legs are pure white with a long seam going down the center, both on the front and the back. The outfit has heels that are attached to the leg portion, offering Nene a bit more height.
