One of Japan's emerging global acts comes to Southeast Asia
ONE OR EIGHT comprises eight members — MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA and YUGA.
The group's name is derived from the Japanese idiom "ichi ka bachi ka", which expresses the idea of taking an all-or-nothing gamble. Together with their tagline "BET ON YOURSELF", the name reflects the members' determination to pursue their dreams, challenge boundaries and take their music to audiences around the world.
Since making their debut in August 2024, ONE OR EIGHT have quickly established themselves as one of Japan's emerging global acts.
Their track "TOKYO DRIFT" generated more than 200,000 pieces of user-generated content on TikTok and over 300 million views, while also entering the Mediabase Top 40 and setting a record for the most chart entries by a Japanese boy group.
Their growing recognition has extended across Asia. ONE OR EIGHT received the Upcoming Dance & Vocal Group award at the MTV VMAJ 2025 in Japan and was named New Artist of the Year at the 2025 Music Awards organised by China's NetEase. The group has also worked with internationally acclaimed creators including Ryan Tedder, David Stewart and Big Sean, further strengthening its ambitions to connect Japanese music with a global audience.
A NEW CHAPTER WITH "EN-GiNE"
Ahead of their Southeast Asia showcases, ONE OR EIGHT will release their first EP, "EN-GiNE", on 16 September 2026. The title combines the Japanese word "EN" (縁), representing connection and fate, with "GENE", symbolising the new driving force created through the relationships the members have developed with one another and with fans around the world. Following "YANKEE SQUAT", the group recently released "INVINCIBLE", the second single from the upcoming EP.
Dedicated to their fans, known as 1DERZ, "INVINCIBLE" carries the message that no journey is taken alone, celebrating the trust, gratitude and connection that have grown between ONE OR EIGHT and their supporters since their debut.
With Special SHOW CASE 2026 in ASIA -V8-, fans in Southeast Asia will now have the opportunity to experience that connection in person.
