Star-Studded Lineup and Rising Stars

The festival boasts an impressive roster, with Japan’s “Kyururin to Shitemite” and “Jams Collection” confirmed as main guests. Kyururin to Shitemite, a group celebrated for its overwhelming cuteness and immense social media buzz, has seen its Zepp Tour in spring 2025 completely sell out. Their rising prominence was further cemented by their appointment as campaign ambassadors for Japan McDonald’s popular “Tsukimi Family” series in September of the same year.

Meanwhile, Jams Collection, who made their major debut in February 2022, demonstrated their formidable talent by successfully holding a solo concert, “7th Single Special Live ‘We are Jams Collection!!!!'”, at the iconic Nippon Budokan on November 12, 2024, a remarkable achievement just three years into their career.

This event is held with the support of the TIF ASIA TOUR, a project initiated by the world’s largest idol festival, “TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL” (TIF), in 2021. The TIF ASIA TOUR’s mission is to broadly disseminate “idol” culture, a unique Japanese cultural export, across Asia. TIF, which began in 2010, has served as a crucial platform for discovering new idols, fostering interaction among groups, and promoting idol culture. In 2025, TIF will celebrate its 15th anniversary, having hosted 214 groups and 1,561 idols at TIF2025 this summer, attracting approximately 85,000 attendees over three days.
