During the Osaka-jo Hall night performance of Ae! group LIVE TOUR 2026 Runway, the group held their first-ever live broadcast directly from a concert venue, connecting not only with fans in the arena but also with over 60,000 viewers tuning in worldwide in real time.
The broadcast centered around a long-awaited announcement.
Ae! group confirmed that their full catalog—45 songs in total—will be released on streaming platforms on May 11, 2026. All tracks will become available simultaneously, marking the first time their music will be widely accessible beyond CD releases and live performances.

For many fans, this represents a major shift. Until now, much of Ae! group’s discography has primarily existed within physical formats and the live concert experience. With this release, their music becomes easier to access, share, and introduce to new listeners—expanding its reach beyond the boundaries it previously existed within.
Alongside the streaming announcement, the group also revealed a fan participation project. Listeners will be able to vote for their favorite songs to help create a special Top 10 playlist, further involving fans in how the group’s music continues to be experienced and shared.
At the center of the announcement was their upcoming 4th single, “DEKOBOKO LIFE,” set for release on June 17, 2026. The track serves as the theme song for the group’s first film, Osomatsu-san: Humanity Degeneration Project!!!!!?.
“DEKOBOKO LIFE” was performed live for the first time during the broadcast. Rather than debuting through a pre-recorded release, the song was introduced directly on stage, emphasizing Ae! group’s strength as performers. Designed with call-and-response elements, the track invites audience participation, making it especially suited for live settings.
The moment reflected the group’s current trajectory. Since their CD debut with “《A》BEGINNING,” Ae! group has continued to build momentum through each release. Songs like “Gotta Be “ and “Chameleon,” and the first album D.N.A have each highlighted different aspects of their identity, contributing to their steady growth as a group.
With the release of their second album Runway earlier this year—achieving their highest first-week sales and topping the Oricon charts—the group has shown consistent upward movement. The Osaka-jo Hall performance, combined with a global livestream audience, marked another step forward.
The upcoming streaming release represents more than increased accessibility. It allows Ae! group’s music to exist more freely in listeners’ everyday lives—within playlists, recommendations, and shared experiences across different regions.
As the members themselves expressed during the broadcast, they hope this will make it easier for fans to share their music with others and help the group reach even more people.
With their full catalog soon available to stream, a new chapter begins—not only for Ae! group, but also for how their music can be experienced worldwide.
