About Aぇ! group

Aぇ! group made a striking CD debut in May 2024 with "《A》BEGINNING," followed by the release of their 2nd single "Gotta Be" in October and the LIVE DVD "Aぇ! group Debut Tour 〜World's No.1 AぇLIVE〜" in December, all of which topped the charts. In 2025, they released their 1st album "D.N.A" on February 18—the group's formation anniversary—and their 3rd single "Chameleon" on June 18.

On February 25, 2026, they released their long-awaited 2nd album, "Runway," which achieved a record-breaking debut week score of 321,000 points—surpassing their 1st album's sales—and claimed the No. 1 spot on the Oricon Weekly Album Chart.

On June 17, the group released "Dekoboko Life," the theme song for their first starring film, "Osomatsu-san: The Human Trashification Project!!!!!?", which premiered nationwide on June 12. Set to Aぇ! group's signature band sound, the song is an uplifting anthem packed with overwhelmingly positive lyrics that inspire and energize listeners. With its dynamic progression, it's an instant mood-booster that guarantees high energy for everyone who hears it.

Currently, Aぇ! group is touring nationally with "Aぇ! group LIVE TOUR 2026 Runway," an arena tour spanning 8 cities and 30 performances, promoting their 2nd album "Runway."
