The group comprises eight members \u2014 MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA, and YUGA \u2014 who debuted under avex music creative in August 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Their name comes from the Japanese idiom <em>ichi ka bachi ka<\/em>, an all-or-nothing gamble, and their tagline &#8220;BET ON YOURSELF&#8221; reflects a group built around pushing limits. They&#8217;ve already picked up the Upcoming Dance &amp; Vocal Group award at the MTV VMAJ 2025 and New Artist of the Year at China&#8217;s NetEase Music Awards 2025, and their debut mini-album <em>GATHER<\/em> \u2014 produced with internationally credited names including Ryan Tedder and The Neptunes \u2014 announced them as a group with a genuinely global playbook.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qcz-7evvAqY\" title=\"ONE OR EIGHT \/ TOKYO DRIFT (Music Video)\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>ONE OR EIGHT \/ TOKYO DRIFT (Music Video) \u2014 via ONE OR EIGHT on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What to Expect at the Singapore Show<\/h2>\n<p>The Singapore date is the opening night of the three-city Asia leg.

The group&#8217;s live energy has been a major talking point from their recent North and Latin American run \u2014 ten cities, ten performances across April 2026 \u2014 so expect tight choreography alongside the full catalogue.
