ONE OR EIGHT - TOKYO DRIFT


The music video for ONE OR EIGHT's “TOKYO DRIFT,” released on January 28, 2026, as the lead track from their debut mini-album GATHER under avex, is a high-octane, adrenaline-pumping tribute to Tokyo's street-racing energy, sampling the iconic Teriyaki Boyz theme from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift while infusing fresh J-pop/hip-hop swagger produced by The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams). Directed with sleek, cinematic flair, the video features the eight members—Souma, Ryota, Neo, Yuga, Tsubasa, Takeru, Reia, and Mizuki—tearing through neon-lit Shibuya nights and winding Tokyo backstreets in imported JDM cars, executing sharp synchronized choreography amid drifting smoke, flashing headlights, and rapid city cuts that capture the thrill of speed and fearless confidence. The visuals explode with bold color grading (vibrant reds, electric blues, and glowing purples), dynamic drone shots of rooftop performances, and group formations that mimic racing lines, perfectly syncing with the track's quick electronic beats, bilingual lyrics (“Tokyo drifting, come to the city, and we do it different”), and chant-heavy hooks. Clad in sleek streetwear layered with racing-inspired accents, the members radiate youthful bravado—Souma's commanding center presence, Neo's charismatic ad-libs—creating a visually immersive, replay-worthy spectacle that channels the “bet on yourself” spirit and cements ONE OR EIGHT's bold debut as a global-bound J-pop force.
