BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE is set to kick off its full-scale 2026 activities with the release of their new EP, “BEAT”, dropping on 29th April (Wednesday). To celebrate the launch, the group made the collection available digitally starting 24th April (Friday), giving their fans, BALLY’S, an early access to what is shaping up to be the group’s most emotionally candid project to date.
With four entirely new tracks, “BEAT” marks a creative evolution for the group, presenting a curated set of love songs that explore romantic emotions from a male perspective with raw honesty. The project was born from a challenge by their label to tackle the concept of “obsessive love”.
“This particular theme was a first for us”, says member MASAHIRO SUNADA, or affectionately known as MASA. “We felt that it was something only we—having accumulated the experience we have now—could truly express. When we heard the demo for “All you need is me”, the members locked eyes during the intro as if to say, ‘This is it!’ By the chorus, we knew it was fate.”
The EP arrives after the group’s recent single “Perfect,” which centred on the theme of “everyday romance.” While the track highlighted the warmth and tenderness of ordinary moments shared with someone special, “BEAT” delves deeper into the more complex emotions that lie beneath the surface. The choreography for the lead track “All you need is me” was created by Brian Puspos, renowned for his work with BTS and Jungkook.
Reflecting on the group’s growth, MASA shared that “BEAT” represents the next phase of their career. “This EP is packed with the music we want to deliver right now—songs that could only be fully expressed by giving 100 out of 100. Having entered the second chapter of BALLISTIK BOYZ, this work is a statement of our resolve and determination.”
“BEAT” is now available on major streaming platforms starting 24th April 2026 (Friday), with the physical EP release following on 29th April 2026 (Wednesday). The group will embark on the BALLISTIK BOYZ LIVE TOUR 2026 “BEAT BLAST Z”, scheduled to run across Japan from July to August 2026.
