BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE have officially released their highly anticipated new EP, “BLAST,” now available across all major digital music platforms. Following its digital debut on September 11, the seven-member group's latest release marks a pivotal evolution in their journey, capturing their most raw, down-to-earth, and deeply moving era yet.
Following their April EP "BEAT," which showcased a mature, passionate depiction of romance, BLAST shifts from idealization to embrace the unfiltered realities of life. Filled with honest lyrics and high-energy tunes, the project details the inner conflicts, sweat-soaked days, and relentless perseverance required on the long road to victory. It is an anthem of solidarity and resilience, celebrating the bonds formed through mutual support and the unyielding drive to stand back up no matter how many times one falls.
The EP's lead track 'Too Good To End' delivers a powerful message: "because there is an end, we give everything to the present,". Written by Kenya Fujita, a close friend of the members, the song explores the delicate balance between finite time and endless possibilities while celebrating the bond shared between friends. Toward the end, the phrase "Our Place" highlights that the group's journey is truly completed not by solo effort, but through the shared history built with everyone by their side. BALLY’S can see these themes brought to life in the music video, which captures the members simply being themselves, sharing playful, bonding moments that highlight their genuine connection.
This evolution builds on a track record that began with a history-making, multi-chart No. 1 debut album. From a landmark six-month Thailand residency and Southeast Asian collaborations to major festival dates and regional tours, BALLISTIK BOYZ continue to solidify their position as a major international force.
Capturing the heart of the project, member RYUSEI KAINUMA shared:
“I think this EP has turned out to have a completely different feel from our previous release, BEAT. I feel that BEAT was also an EP that showcased our strengths, but this time, it really shows us exactly as we are. This EP tells our story, the journey we’ve shared together through friendship, youth, and the struggles we’ve faced along the way. I think it really captures who we are in our everyday lives and everything we’ve built together up to this point, which makes it a project that feels truly representative of BALLISTIK BOYZ.”
Coming off the momentum of their nationwide BALLISTIK BOYZ LIVE TOUR 2026 “BEAT BLAST Z” and the preview single “Do Don PA!!”, BLAST marks a powerful next step as BALLISTIK BOYZ continue their global expansion.
Stream “BLAST” now on all major streaming platforms.
