Aぇ! group
Made a sensational CD debut in May 2024 with "《A》BEGINNING," followed by their 2nd SG "Gotta Be" in October and LIVE DVD "Aぇ! group Debut Tour ~Sekai de Ichiban Aぇ LIVE~" in December, both dominating the charts at No. 1. In 2025, they released their 1st AL "D.N.A" on February 18, their group formation anniversary, and their 3rd SG "Chameleon" on June 18.
On February 25, 2026, they released their highly anticipated 2nd album "Runway"! It surpassed the sales of their 1st AL by a large margin, achieving their highest first-week points (321,000 pt) and ranking No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking.
The release of their 4th SG "Dekoboko Life," the theme song for the movie "Osomatsu-san: Jinrui Kuzu-ka Keikaku!!!!!?" which will be released nationwide on Friday, June 12, has been decided for June 17! It's a cheering song with an overwhelmingly positive message set to Aぇ! group's signature band sound, and its furious development is addictive, creating a song that will definitely make anyone high-spirited!
Currently, they are holding the "Aぇ! group LIVE TOUR 2026 Runway" arena tour, which covers 30 performances in 8 cities nationwide, in conjunction with their 2nd album "Runway."
