Japanese boy group ONE OR EIGHT has confirmed their upcoming three-day tour, titled ONE OR EIGHT Special SHOW CASE 2026 in ASIA -V8-, set to take place in Singapore, Manila, and Bangkok this October. This announcement was made by Anime Corner on September 12, 2026.
The tour kicks off on October 21 at Victoria Theatre in Singapore, followed by a performance on October 23 at Samsung Hall, SM Aura Premier in Manila, and concluding with a show on October 25 at Lido Hall 2, Lido Connect in Bangkok. Ticket sales are currently available via Ticketmaster and the SOZO Live website, with additional details available on the ONE OR EIGHT Asia Tour website.
For fans attending, the Singapore event will feature all seated tickets, while the shows in Manila and Bangkok will have all standing tickets. The group comprises eight members: MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA, and YUGA. Known for their dynamic performances and engaging music, ONE OR EIGHT reflects their ambition and drive through their name, inspired by the Japanese idiom “ichi ka bachi ka,” which conveys the concept of taking significant risks to achieve one’s dreams.
Following the remarkable success of their first-ever tour across North and South America, the group is eager to bring their music to Southeast Asia, aiming to strengthen connections with their expanding international fanbase.
Since their debut in August 2024, ONE OR EIGHT has swiftly positioned themselves as one of Japan's rising global acts. Their single "TOKYO DRIFT" has amassed over 300 million views, broken into the Mediabase Top 40, and gained significant attention on social media with over 200,000 user-generated posts on platforms like TikTok. Their accolades include being named one of Nikkei Entertainment's 100 New Leading Artists and winning the Upcoming Dance & Vocal Group award at the MTV VMAJ 2025 in Japan.
In anticipation of their Southeast Asia performances, ONE OR EIGHT will release their first EP titled EN-GiNE on September 16, 2026. The EP title combines the Japanese word “EN” (縁), which stands for connection and fate, and “GENE,” signifying the new creative force stemming from the ties formed among the members and with their fans. This musical initiative aims to deepen the relationship with their supporters, whom they fondly refer to as 1DERZ.
Alongside the EP, a new single titled "INVINCIBLE" will celebrate the bond between the group and their fans, further emphasizing the shared journey that connects them since their debut.
The ONE OR EIGHT Special SHOW CASE 2026 in ASIA -V8- is organized by SOZO, a leading entertainment company known for bridging Japanese entertainment with audiences across Southeast Asia. SOZO has established itself through platforms like Anime Festival Asia and has a history of producing significant live events featuring popular Japanese artists.
The announcement of the ONE OR EIGHT Special SHOW CASE 2026 tour underscores the group's commitment to connecting with their fans beyond Japan. As they introduce their new EP and embark on this tour, they are positioning themselves to expand their influence in the global music scene. The Southeast Asian leg of their tour will likely enhance their growing popularity in the region, building upon their previous successes.
