AceShowbiz - ONE OR EIGHT has made history by becoming the Japanese boy group with the most entries on the Mediabase U.S. Top 40 chart. The group's track TOKYO DRIFT from their recently released mini album GATHER has officially entered the chart at #38, marking their second entry and setting a new record for Japanese boy groups.

This achievement follows ONE OR EIGHT's previous milestone when they became the first Japanese boy group to enter the Mediabase U.S. Top 40 chart with their track DSTM. With TOKYO DRIFT now securing their second chart entry, the group has established themselves as trailblazers in the international music scene.

The historic chart entry comes as ONE OR EIGHT prepares to launch their first-ever live tour across North and South America. The ONE OR EIGHT 1ST LIVE TOUR – GATHER will begin on April 8, 2026, taking the group's signature style and charisma to multiple cities including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Mexico City.

The upcoming tour celebrates the release of GATHER, which features the focus track TOKYO DRIFT. The song samples the iconic "TOKYO DRIFT (FAST & FURIOUS)" by Teriyaki Boyz and embodies what the group describes as the "bet on yourself" spirit that has defined ONE OR EIGHT. A music video for the track has been released, capturing the essence of Tokyo and immersing viewers in the streets of the iconic city.

The tour will span multiple countries across North and South America, with stops scheduled at venues including The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, Racket NYC in New York, and Distro Music Hall in Chicago. Additional dates are planned for Mesa, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Atlanta, allowing fans from around the world to experience the group's artistry live.

Since their official debut on August 16, 2024, ONE OR EIGHT has achieved several significant milestones. Their debut single "Don't Tell Nobody" was produced by Ryan Tedder and David Stewart, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Heatseekers Songs chart and immediately establishing the group as a breakout force in the music industry.

The group's momentum continued with "KAWASAKI," featuring Big Sean, which was released on December 6, 2024. The collaboration climbed to No. 5 on the U.S. iTunes Top Rap and Hip-Hop Songs chart and marked another historic moment when ONE OR EIGHT became the first Japanese group to walk the red carpet at the VMA, signaling their arrival on the international stage.

The GATHER mini album represents what the group calls their most ambitious project to date, featuring a fusion of genres and distinctive sonic elements. The project channels the group's journey, ambition, and drive into music designed to rally fans worldwide, with TOKYO DRIFT serving as the centerpiece of this new musical direction.

Tickets for the ONE OR EIGHT 1ST LIVE TOUR – GATHER are currently on sale, with the tour set to showcase the group's performance skills and musical artistry to their dedicated fanbase, known as 1DERZ. The tour builds on the success of the group's previous fan meetings and represents their first major international touring venture.

With their latest chart achievement and upcoming tour, ONE OR EIGHT continues to push boundaries and expand their global reach. The group's success on the Mediabase U.S. Top 40 chart demonstrates the growing international appeal of Japanese pop music and establishes ONE OR EIGHT as pioneers in bringing Japanese boy group music to mainstream American audiences.
