EBiDAN artist collective promotes appearance at NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen

The male artist collective EBiDAN, managed by Stardust Promotion, has released a video via its official X account expressing a desire to perform at the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen on December 31. The video, which features members appearing alongside the group's 15th-anniversary single ‘Yes! Tokyo’, explicitly states that all members have cleared their schedules for that date.

This push comes amid significant momentum for the collective. The single ‘Yes! Tokyo’ recently achieved million-seller status and topped the Oricon weekly single rankings. Additionally, the group's presence in the industry has grown, with individual groups like M!LK and Chaotix gaining wider recognition and the collective receiving the ‘Best Teen Choice Artist’ special award at the MTV VMAJ 2026.

Industry analysts note that the bold public appeal reflects a shifting landscape in the male idol industry, as groups from agencies outside of STARTO ENTERTAINMENT continue to rise in prominence.
