In conjunction with their debut, Ae! group will embark on the Live Tour, "The World's Best AeLIVE," spanning eight cities and accommodating a total seating capacity of 400,000.

Reflecting on their journey, each member of Ae! group shares their appreciation:

・Yoshinori Masakado

We are incredibly grateful to finally be able to share this good news with the world. It is thanks to the love and support of all our fans, even beyond these long five years, that this day has finally come. We will continue to devote ourselves to the task at hand, so please lend your support to this "new Ae! group!"

・Seiya Suezawa

We want to thank each and every person who has helped bring us to this point, including everyone who came to our announcement event at the Kyocera Dome Osaka and watched it worldwide on the Family Club Online. It's still hard to express all the emotions we feel, so I'll leave it at this: the five of us will work harder than ever before for the happiness of our fans! This "BEGINNING" is thanks to you!

・Richard Keita Kusama

Having finally reached it ourselves, I now understand what so many of our seniors meant when they talked about how a debut is not an end-goal, as it may seem from our view as Juniors, but rather a starting line for a new and exciting marathon, which we will run with your help!

・Ken Kojima

A debut is just the beginning of a new adventure, but it's still one goal that we are grateful to finally make manifest. We will apply ourselves wholeheartedly to become a bigger and better version of ourselves and take our fans along for an incredible ride to new heights. We will make Ae! group one that steals all your hearts!

・Masaya Sano

This is the real start for us as Ae! group; the A(e!)ctualization of our A(e!)chievements by the A(e!)rdour of all our fans. The five of us will strive to be an Ae! group that makes you proud.
