It’s less than a week to the last performances of Ae! group’s Debut Tour ~The best AeLIVE in the world~ in Ariake Arena, Tokyo. Since May, starting in Hokkaido, the five-member group has been going full-throttle with their debut tour, with their debut single 《A》BEGINNING released on May 15th.
It’s truly just the beginning, as they are set to release their second single, “Gotta Be,” on October 9th! This exciting announcement was made during their first Osaka performance of their live tour at Osaka-Jo Hall, a place that is very dear and important to the group.
As the members gathered at the center stage, they teased the audience with a special announcement. The crowd buzzed with anticipation until Yoshinori Masakado revealed, “Our second single has been confirmed for release!” as to which the venue erupted with cheers. Masaya Sano, beaming with joy, expressed his delight, saying, “I’m thrilled to announce this in Osaka!“
“Gotta Be” will be available in four editions: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, Limited Edition C, and Regular Edition. You can get the 4 edition bundle at CD Japan if you live overseas. Fans who place their pre-orders by August 19th at 11:59 PM will receive a special early bird gift: a set of five Polaroid-style cards featuring solo shots of each member. So mark your calendars and stay seated for more updates about the single! ✌️
