TOMORROW X TOGETHER Collaborates with Tokyo's Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival — First Peek at New Song

TOMORROW X TOGETHER is joining hands with Japan's signature summer festival, the "2026 Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival," for a special collaboration. Along with fireworks painting the night sky, part of the title track from its new Japanese single will be unveiled for the first time. A Hit Medley Melded with Fireworks Before a Million-Strong Crowd According to BigHit Music, TOMORROW X TOGETHER will hold a collaboration with the "2026 Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival," taking place in Tokyo on August 8. The Jingu Gaien Fireworks Festival is one of Japan's premier summer festivals, drawing over 1 million people each year. This year, a fantastic five-minute fireworks show is set to unfold to a medley of TOMORROW X TOGETHER's hits. Notably, part of the title track from the fifth Japanese single "Setsuna Hanabi" will be unveiled for the first time at the event. That a storied, large-scale festival is using their music as its main theme speaks to the group's firm standing in Japan. The Track "Nice to Meet Ya" Released Early TOMORROW X TOGETHER heightened the comeback buzz by releasing "Nice to Meet Ya," a track from the new single, at midnight on the 3rd. The song is a lively up-tempo pop rock number, delivering an electric energy as its crisp band sound meshes with the members' dynamic vocals. A band arrangement blending drums and guitar brings out the song's vibrancy. The New Single's Makeup and Release Schedule The fifth Japanese single "Setsuna Hanabi" by TOMORROW X TOGETHER—Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai—marks the group's local comeback in about ten months, since its third Japanese studio album "Starkissed" last October. This single will contain four tracks in total, including three original new songs and another version of the title track. The full audio of the fifth single and the title track's music video will be released on the 17th, with the official release date on the 19th. On release day, a premium live event will be held at Tokyo Garden Theater to meet local fans. Starting with this collaboration that blends music and fireworks, attention is gathering around the path TOMORROW X TOGETHER will continue to take in Japan.
