Major 5th Single "BA-BY" to be released on August 20th, 2025! *Information updated on August 12th

Dear Scoundrels,
Thank you very much for your continued support of ASP.

The title of the new group's first major 5th single, to be released on Wednesday, August 20th, has been decided to be "BA-BY" (pronounced: Barbie)!

The title track "BA-BY," which also serves as the single's title, was produced, sound-made, and composed by producer/DJ Yohji Igarashi, who is the main composer for rapper HIYADAM and has also written songs and remixes for various artists, while the lyrics and composition were handled by Pecori, the MC for the hip-hop group ODD Foot Works, who has produced many songs including directing Number_i's "GOAT" and "INZM."
This song has an aggressive rock sound that is worthy of ASP's name, but the chorus develops emotionally, making it a work that best represents the current ASP.




◼︎Comment from Yohji Igarashi
Although it has a hard melody, we wanted to create a song that would really bring out the individuality of each member.
The highlight of the album is the powerful singing voices of each member, which are just as impressive as the strong sound.

◼︎Pecori comment
I wrote the lyrics with a focus on ASP's greatest strength, which is their punkish ferocity.
Despite its cute appearance, it has a gremlin-like element to it, like, "If you underestimate me and get too close, I'll kill you!" So I made it. Get your blood pumping and let's go!


Additionally, "Get New Mirai," a coupling track on the major 5th single "BA-BY" and released digitally on Sunday, May 4th, was produced by the rock band Age Factory.

◼︎Age Factory Comment
The future that no one knows is only within us
We created this with the hope that all ASP members would become the energy that will connect us to a new stage as one living organism.
I would be happy if I could be a source of energy to many people through ASP.
Eisuke Shimizu (Age Factory)

  The jacket art direction was done by JACKSON kaki.
The work features a fictional character that incorporates the characteristics of the lyrics of "BA-BY" and various motifs are irregularly arranged and collaged onto it.

Additionally, the Blu-ray of the first limited edition will include three live performances from "WACK in the UK," which was held in August and November 2024 and in March of this year. It has also been decided that the music video for "TOTSUGEKI!!!!!" and Behind the Scenes will also be included.
