Leader YUJU speaks out
“We’re beyond excited for our new program on TOKAI RADIO,” shared leader YUJU. “There’s a special kind of chemistry you get on radio—it’s raw and real. We’ll be sharing our current thoughts, giving advice, and just having fun. Hopefully, we can add a little positivity to everyone’s day.”

Fresh faces with big momentum
aoen made their official debut on June 11 with the single “The Blue Sun”, which landed straight at No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Singles Chart. Their rookie success was quickly cemented with a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
Since then, they’ve been all over festivals and music shows. On September 6, they lit up the Saitama Super Arena stage at the Tokyo Girls Collection 2025 A/W showcase. And come September 21, fans can catch a special joint stage with their label seniors &TEAM at ‘Music Day Fes 2025’—a collab that’s already stirring fan hype.
