DEPAPEPE holds final one-man live shows before hiatus

Acoustic guitar duo DEPAPEPE held their final one-man live performances on October 2 and October 7 at Ebisu Garden Hall in Tokyo and BIGCAT in Osaka. These sold-out shows mark the duo's last solo concerts before their scheduled hiatus, which was announced in June to take effect in October 2026.

Formed in 2002, the duo consisting of Keiya Tokuoka and Takuya Miura performed a diverse setlist including rare tracks like ‘Harvest’ and hits such as ‘START’ and ‘ONE’. During the performances, the members emphasized a theme of unity, stating that the group was built not just by the two of them, but by their band members, staff, and fans. While the DEPAPEPE unit will pause activities, both members expressed intentions to continue pursuing music individually.
