ATARASHII GAKKO! (Atarashii Gakko no Leaders) are widening their activity through the domestic "Seishunbu Tour 2026" and overseas shows. June brings dates at Zepp Osaka Bayside (the 18th) and KT Zepp Yokohama (the 23rd), with a year-end Latin American run ahead. Their total social following has topped 15 million.
The group has expanded recognition at home and abroad on the back of the hit "Otonablue." For 2026, alongside domestic Zepp-scale shows, a December Latin American leg is planned, taking in Santiago, Chile (the 3rd) and Mexico City (the 8th).
Reaching overseas audiences from a starting point of song buzz and the virality of choreography is a pattern shared by many recent Japanese artists. Spread via social media and short-form video is translating into local turnout.
Short-form videos tied to "Otonablue" are reported to have logged enormous cumulative plays, and a method that designs song, choreography, and visuals as one supports a reach that crosses borders. Continued live activity links streaming listening to real-venue mobilization.
Worth Revisiting: Global Expansion
Running domestic Zepp shows and a Latin American leg in parallel within the same year suggests an aim to land streaming-driven interest at shows in each region. Operational know-how for reaching different fan bases by region becomes the foundation for future activity.
A method combining short-form-driven spread with local shows is applicable at any scale. The ZEN editorial team is watching how such cross-border design widens the options for domestic artists overall.
