\n\tThere\u2019s a new boy band in town. Friday (Aug. 16) marks the official debut of the newly formed Japanese act ONE OR EIGHT. The eight-member group \u2014 composed of Mizuki, Neo, Reia, Ryota, Souma, Takeru, Tsubasa and Yuga \u2013 is sharing its second single with the energetic \u201cDon\u2019t Tell Nobody\u201d and its accompanying music video.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe song follows debut single \u201cKawasaki\u201d \u2013 a hip-hop-leaning track inspired by the Japanese automotive brand of the same name \u2013 that the group posted along with its Instagram launch in June. In its first week, the performance video<\/a> they shared garnered more than 6 million views.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tONE OR EIGHT, backed by entertainment company Avex in Japan and the U.S. (with Brandon Silverstein\u2019s S10 as the Stateside Avex partner), stands out not only for its fusion of hip-hop with pop, but also the way in which the act celebrates its Japanese culture through lyrics, choreography and the members\u2019 streetwear-inspired aesthetic. Even its name points to the group\u2019s roots, as it\u2019s derived from the Japanese idiom \u201cIchi ka Bachi ka,\u201d roughly translating to \u201call or nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to present ONE OR EIGHT as a first of its kind collaboration that combines the musical, cultural, and innovative resources between the US and Japan branches of Avex, launching a lasting mission for a new generational hybrid model to push Japanese music as a global phenomenon,\u201d says Naoki Osada, CEO of Avex U.S.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdds Takeya Ino, president of labels at Avex Japan: \u201cAt Avex, we embrace challenges and respect the U.S. music culture. Utilizing the creative networks we\u2019ve built in the U.S., our members are ready to embody the spirit of \u2018all or nothing\u2019 after years of preparations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDon\u2019t Tell Nobody\u201d was written with David Stewart and co-produced by Stewart and hitmaker Ryan Tedder.<\/p>\n
