STARGLOW Named to NME's 2026 Emerging Artists List

The Japanese boy group STARGLOW is the only act from Japan selected for NME's 'The NME 100: Essential Emerging Artists for 2026'. The annual list from the UK music publication has previously featured artists like Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Keshi.

STARGLOW debuted in January with the single "Star Wish," which reached number one on both the Oricon weekly singles chart and the Billboard Japan Top Singles Sales chart. Their debut showcase at Yokohama BUNTAI sold out three shows across two days, drawing approximately 15,000 attendees.

The five-member group, formed from the BMSG audition "THE LAST PIECE," will release their second single, "USOTSUKI," on April 1, 2026. A 17-city fan meeting tour across Japan, titled "STAR CRUISE," is scheduled to begin in April.

The group's debut track "Star Wish" is available on streaming platforms. Details on the upcoming single "USOTSUKI" are available on the official website.
