STARGLOW is hitting the highway this summer, and their new single “Drivin’ My Life” is just the beginning of the drive.
It doesn’t come alone, either. Alongside the single is an action-movie music video, a callback to the group’s own pre-debut history, a first-ever live DVD not long after, and the sound itself marks a real shift from anything they’ve released before.
“Drivin’ My Life” is deliberately understated, built minimally and breezy around one simple idea: enjoy time with the people around you, and move forward at your own pace. Production comes from ANG, a Mexico-born, LA-based DJ and producer duo who blend Afrobeats and electronic textures into something built for a slow exhale rather than a peak-time rush.
The rest of the single rewards anyone who’s followed STARGLOW for a while. “Good Boys Anthem” comes with a music video directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa, and rather than a standard performance shoot, the group went through real action choreography to make it. Alongside it sits a STARGLOW version of “GOTH“, the theme song from “Gate on the Horizon (GOTH)”, a drama that starred members RUI, TAIKI and KANON back when they were still trainees. For fans who’ve been with the group since before its official debut, it’s a quiet nod back to where they began.
That momentum carries straight through the rest of the summer. STARGLOW release their first-ever live DVD and Blu-ray, “STARGLOW DEBUT SHOWCASE ‘Wish upon a Star’“, just a week after the single, followed by additional arena dates on their fan meeting tour “STAR CRUISE“, and their first-ever appearance at Summer Sonic 2026.
It’s a lot packed into one summer, but that’s exactly the point. STARGLOW isn’t pacing themselves for later. They’re building something right now, and inviting everyone watching, near or far, to grow with them.
About STARGLOW
STARGLOW is a five-member dance and vocal group formed through BMSG’s audition series “THE LAST PIECE”, comprising RUI, TAIKI, KANON, GOICHI, and ADAM. Each member sharpens their own distinct style, coming together in what plays out as an almost improbable fusion, a boy band built on quality, attitude, and the kind of charisma that’s hard to put into words, embodying the ideal BMSG has pursued since its founding.
Straight out of their January 2026 debut, STARGLOW made waves internationally, becoming the only Japanese act named to NME’s “100 Artists to Watch in 2026”. Their 2nd single “USOTSUKI” hit their career-best chart position, No.1 on the Oricon Weekly Digital Singles ranking and No.2 on Billboard Japan Hot 100, and earned them nominations in two categories at Music Awards Japan 2026: Best New Artist and Radio Rising Artist of the Year. In August, roughly six months after debut, they held their first arena shows, an unusually fast turnaround that’s drawn significant attention both in Japan and overseas.
