ONE OR EIGHT Special SHOW CASE 2026-2027 in ASIA -V8- features stops in Singapore on 21 October, Manila on 23 October, Bangkok on 25 October, Hong Kong on 22 January 2027, and Taipei on 24 January 2027. From a packed Singapore showcase to a Manila debut that earned an extra encore and a standout appearance at One Zone Fest as the festival’s only Japanese special guest, ONE OR EIGHT’s Asia Showcase has brought the group and 1DERZ closer across the region. Tokyo was the starting point, but ONE OR EIGHT’s latest chapter unfolded across Singapore, Manila and Bangkok, with each city delivering its own standout moments, special reunions and milestones. With Hong Kong and Taipei still ahead in January 2027, the group’s Asia Showcase is far from over.
In Singapore, the packed venue reflected just how far the group has come since its early musha shugyo days. Longtime fans who had followed ONE OR EIGHT from its pre-debut journey came together with newer supporters, while a fan project added another layer of warmth to a night filled with hearts, messages and shared singalongs. Across the three cities, 1DERZ made their presence felt through fan-led projects and a venue LED takeover, turning each stop into a celebration of the bond between the group and its fans.
Manila marked a major milestone with ONE OR EIGHT’s first-ever show in the Philippines. Fans sang and danced along throughout the group’s showcase, with the crowd’s energy carrying through to an extra encore. The group’s Manila visit continued at One Zone Fest, organised by 1Z Entertainment at the Araneta Coliseum, which has a capacity of approximately 16,500. Taking to a 360-degree stage for the first time, ONE OR EIGHT performed KAWASAKI and TOKYO DRIFT, and teamed up with XONARA for TABI and YANKEE SQUAT. The appearance marked the group’s first performance on a stage of this scale in the region. Adding to the occasion, the festival also reunited the group with SB19’s FELIP, their collaborator on KAWASAKI (with Felip and thuy).
In Bangkok, ONE OR EIGHT brought its signature energy to the stage once again, following the group’s BANGKOK DRIFT event earlier this year. TOKYO DRIFT provided a fitting highlight, connecting the performance to the city’s own history with the group. With Hong Kong and Taipei coming up in January 2027, Bangkok marked another milestone in the group’s ongoing journey across Asia.
Across the tour, each member brought a distinct moment to the stage. RYOTA turned up the heat with a playful abs showcase that sent fans into a frenzy, while REIA made the experience personal by presenting flowers to a fan in each country. TAKERU commanded attention with sharp, polished dance moves, and TSUBASA put his vocals front and centre with a powerful a cappella solo. NEO and SOUMA brought their chemistry to life with their collaboration track Yo-Yo, adding a playful twist to the performances. YUGA kept the crowd engaged with steady vocals and cheeky charm, while MIZUKI’s deep, distinctive voice gave the group’s live sound another unmistakable edge.
In just two years, the group has grown from its pre-debut musha shugyo days into an act drawing fans across Asia, many of whom have stayed with the members from the very beginning. The Singapore, Manila and Bangkok stops captured that growth in real time, as longtime supporters returned, new fans joined in and each audience made the experience its own. ONE OR EIGHT’s Asia Showcase continues alongside the group’s nationwide fan meeting tour in Japan, ONE OR EIGHT SHUKAI 2026-2027 in JAPAN -2GATHER-, which is set to visit all 47 prefectures. The Asia Showcase will continue in January with stops in Hong Kong and Taipei, bringing the group’s performances to even more fans across the region.

About ONE OR EIGHT: ONE OR EIGHT is an eight-member boy group comprising MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA and YUGA, named after the Japanese idiom ichi ka bachi ka, meaning all or nothing. Guided by their motto BET ON YOURSELF, the group has quickly emerged as one of Japan’s most exciting new acts on the global stage. Since debuting in 2024 with the Ryan Tedder and David Stewart-produced single Don’t Tell Nobody, ONE OR EIGHT have steadily built international momentum. Their collaboration with Big Sean, KAWASAKI (with Big Sean), reached No. 5 on the U.S. iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart, while TOKYO DRIFT generated over 200,000 TikTok UGC posts and 300 million views, earning them a record number of appearances on the U.S. Mediabase Top 40 chart for a Japanese boy group. The group has since been named one of Nikkei Entertainment’s 100 New Leading Artists, received the Upcoming Dance and Vocal Group award at MTV VMAJ, and became the first Japanese boy group to walk the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards. In 2026, they wrapped up their first-ever ONE OR EIGHT 1st LIVE TOUR -GATHER-, performing across 10 cities in North and South America as they continue taking their music from Tokyo to the world.
