KEY TO LIT CD debut announcement and tour details

Overview

The five-member idol group KEY TO LIT, managed by STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, has announced an official CD debut with Universal Music scheduled for this winter.

The announcement was revealed via a surprise projection mapping event at Zojoji Temple in Tokyo on August 17. The event, which was originally framed as a music video recording session, reportedly surprised the group members themselves. During the reveal, the group performed ‘KEY 2 LIGHT’, the theme song for a TV Tokyo table tennis program.

Formed in February 2025 following a reorganization of junior groups including Bi Shonen, HiHi Jets, and 7 MEN Samurai, the group consists of Mizuki Inoue, Taisho Iwasaki, Reia Nakamura, Taiko Sasaki, and Soya Igari. Some members have been active as junior performers for over a decade, with some reaching 17 years of experience.

During the final day of their ‘KEY TO LIT Arena Tour 2026 NEO CLASSICS’ at Ariake Arena on August 23, the group held a press conference. Addressing approximately 15,000 fans, the members expressed their ambition to become the ‘greatest masterpiece’ in their agency’s history, with Taisho Iwasaki specifically setting a goal to perform at a dome stadium within three years. The tour is expected to reach approximately 238,000 people across 21 performances in five cities.
