Japanese boy group BE: FIRST is soon to hit the road for their first-ever world tour, Who Is BE:FIRST? Tour. This 15-date headlining tour will kick off on April 22nd in Los Angeles, taking the seven-member group to cities across Asia, Europe, and North America, including major stops in New York, London, and Paris. The group, formed and managed by BMSG and signed to the B-ME record label, has rapidly gained recognition since their debut in 2021.
BE:FIRST was born out of the reality competition show The First, hosted by BMSG’s founder Sky-Hi, and comprises seven members: Sota, Shunto, Manato, Ryuhei, Junon, Ryoki, and Leo. The group’s name reflects their ambition to “always aim for the top,” a philosophy embedded in their music and performances. Their journey has been marked by record-breaking hits, including Gifted and Boom Boom Back”, which put them at the forefront of the Japanese music scene.
BE:FIRST has set multiple records on Japan’s Oricon charts, achieving a historic number of digital “double crowns” for singles that topped both the Digital Song Ranking and Streaming Ranking. Their debut album, Be:1, also topped the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
Following their recent sold-out arena tours in Japan, including performances at the Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome, the Who Is BE:FIRST? Tour will be an exciting new chapter for the group as they take their performances to a global audience. Fans can look forward to experiencing BE: FIRST’s signature hits and live performances.
