2025 DIME Trend Awards to Stream Live on YouTube, Featuring &TEAM

The 2025 DIME Trend Awards, hosted by Shogakukan, will be streamed live on YouTube on December 11 at 14:00 JST.

Actor Ryusei Yokohama receives the 'Person of the Year' award. Yokohama starred in the NHK Taiga drama 'Berabo ~ Tsutaya Juzo's Dream Story ~' and the film 'National Treasure,' which grossed 17.3 billion yen, setting a new record for live-action Japanese films.

&TEAM's third single 'Go in Blind (月狼)' achieved million certification in Japan. In October, they debuted in Korea with the mini-album 'Back to Life,' also reaching million certification on its first day, a first for a Japanese artist. &TEAM will appear at the 76th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

Both Yokohama and &TEAM will appear as special guests during the awards ceremony. &TEAM members K and JO will participate through recorded comments.

The December 16 issue of DIME magazine will feature Yokohama on the cover, celebrating his award with exclusive interviews.

Additionally, the magazine will include a comprehensive forecast of 2026 trends, with a special focus on the anime 'Frieren: Beyond Journey's End' and its upcoming second season.
