From Online Stages to Zepp DiverCity: FouRTe Project’s Ascending Journey
FouRTe Project has been on a remarkable trajectory since their debut in September 2025, carving out their destiny as an idol group. Their journey gained significant momentum with their 1st Online LIVE, “The Beginning of Destiny,” held on January 17, 2026. This entirely free event captivated audiences with 16 live vocal and performance tracks, setting the stage for even grander ambitions. The group has also announced their first live concert with an audience at Zepp DiverCity on August 14, 2026, a significant milestone that showcases their rapid growth and dedicated fanbase, affectionately known as “FouRTune.”
“100万分の1”: A Melodic Embrace of Farewell and Future
‘100万分の1’ is a medium-tempo ballad that tenderly explores the bittersweet essence of farewells and the enduring power of connection. The song frames every encounter – be it with friends, a fleeting crush, or in the simple tapestry of daily life – as a “miracle less than one in a million.” It gently acknowledges the pain of parting while affirming the continuous journey of life and the “connecting footprints” that remain. This track serves as a heartfelt graduation song, softly encouraging listeners to take their next step forward, infused with warmth and resolution.
The song’s intricate and transparent soundscape is a testament to the combined talents of ☆Taku Takahashi, who produced the track, and JUVENILE, responsible for its delicate arrangement. Complementing this sonic artistry are the straightforward and hopeful lyrics penned by MEG.ME, which beautifully convey gratitude for shared experiences and the courage to embrace the future. It’s a song designed not only for graduation ceremonies but also as a comforting companion on lonely nights, offering a gentle push to move forward.
Fans will have the exclusive opportunity to witness the debut performance of ‘100万分の1’ during a live stream on the official FouRTe Project YouTube channel on February 19, 2026 (Thursday). This marks a special moment to experience the song’s magic live for the very first time.
