ABOUT ONE OR EIGHT
ONE OR EIGHT is an eight-member Japanese boy group - MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA and YUGA - whose name is derived from the Japanese idiom “ippuku ka yoka” (one or eight, meaning “all or nothing”). With the tagline “BET ON YOURSELF”, they embody a spirit of risk-taking and ambition, inviting fans to dream big and take bold chances alongside them.
They debuted on 16th August 2024, with “Don’t Tell Nobody”, produced by One Republic’s Ryan Tedder (Taylor Swift, Adele, Jonas Brothers) and David Stewart (BTS), debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Japan HeatseekersSongs chart. Their 2024 collaboration with Big Sean, “KAWASAKI (with Big Sean)”, peaked at #5 on the U.S. iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Song chart.
This year, ONE OR EIGHT were named one of Nikkei Entertainment!’s 100 New Leading Artists and won Upcoming Dance & Vocal Group at MTV VMAJ. In September they made history as the first Japanese boy group to walk the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA). They visited Singapore in the same month, performing to a capacity crowd at Yes933 Hits Fest and taking the stage at Music Matters Live, strengthening their growing connection with fans across Southeast Asia.
2025 marked a prolific year for ONE OR EIGHT, driven by a steady stream of releases exploring themes of ambition and challenge - “DSTM” (March), “365” (June), “Young & Reckless” (August) and “BET YOUR LIFE” (September). They also performed as part of the stellar lineup at a-nation, joining Ayumi Hamasaki, NCT Wish, TRF and NEXZ. The group continued expanding their global footprint with fan meetings across Japan, Thailand, the US, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, making this year a defining period of momentum, growth and rising international presence.
