If you know muque from the ONE PIECE Egghead Arc, here’s your cue to grab a calendar: the Fukuoka-based indie band is bringing its GLHF world tour to Victoria Theatre on 13 June 2026 — their first ever solo show in Singapore.
Who Is muque?
muque is an indie band from Fukuoka, Japan, formed in May 2022. The name blends the French word musique and the Japanese word muku (meaning purity), reflecting the band’s intent to make music entirely on their own terms. Their sound sits at the intersection of contemporary production and melody lines with a distinctly Japanese sensibility — drawing from American, British, and Asian musical traditions without sounding like any one of them.
In a relatively short career they’ve built a devoted following across Japan, driven largely by word of mouth and the kind of infectious songwriting that travels well. Singapore fans may know them best through anime, but their catalogue goes much deeper than any single tie-in.
How ONE PIECE Put muque on the Map in SEA
muque’s breakthrough moment in Southeast Asia came in April 2025, when their track “The 1” was chosen as the ending theme for the ONE PIECE Egghead Arc — their first anime theme, and arguably one of the most high-profile placement a new Japanese band can earn. The track layers emotional chord progressions over a drum-and-bass inspired beat, written around the theme of inner strength. It went on to become one of the most Shazam’d ONE PIECE endings in years, and introduced the band to an audience well beyond their Japan fanbase.
“The 1” is now part of their second full album, GLHF — and yes, that stands for Good Luck Have Fun, the gaming sign-off that’s become universal shorthand for fair play and good vibes. The album title is a neat fit for a band whose music often lands in gaming streams and gaming community playlists.

The Singapore stop is part of muque’s Asia leg following Japan tour dates, taking in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Seoul. Victoria Theatre is a fitting venue — intimate enough to keep the energy tight, and centrally located at 9 Empress Place.

What This Means for Singapore Gamers and Anime Fans
For anyone who had “The 1” on repeat while watching the Egghead Arc, this is the chance to hear it live. muque’s music resonates with the same community that attends events like AFA Singapore — fans who sit comfortably across gaming, anime, and Japanese pop culture. Victoria Theatre holds a few hundred seats, and with this being their Singapore debut, the room is going to feel personal in all the right ways. If you’re on the fence, the setlist will almost certainly include “The 1”, material from the GLHF album, and songs from their earlier catalogue.
