Dance vocal group 2xFE (pronounced: Two F-E) has announced that they will release their first CD since their debut, “Future From East End,” on August 28th.
The decision to release their first CD since their debut was announced during the irregular YouTube livestream “Otsudesu. Touefe” that was streamed live from 8pm on July 4th. It was revealed that the CD will be an EP in two formats, containing a total of six songs, including the three singles released so far and three unreleased songs.
The first limited edition of this work includes four music videos and the making of the third single “Timeline”, “Timeline -Behind The Scenes-“. It also includes a “6-piece photo card set” with a tabletop photo frame, making it a luxurious set with both video elements and visual elements to display. In addition, it has been decided that a free live concert and special event will be held in 10 locations, including the Kanto region, Osaka, and online, from August 3rd.
Details of the solo concert, which will be the biggest capacity concert since their debut, were also announced during the live stream. It was officially announced that the 2xFE Solo Live “The First Piece 2024” will be held at SHIBUYA CLUB QUATTRO on September 21st. Ticket sales began through the official advance lottery at the same time as the broadcast. This means that fans (=2xME) have been given two exciting things to look forward to.
Comments have also arrived from the members regarding the CD release and solo live show.
Rui Comment
I’m going to release my first EP! This is all thanks to everyone at 2xME and everyone who always supports and encourages me. Thank you so much!
I’m looking forward to meeting lots of new people at the release event and making new memories in various places with everyone from 2xME!
SHIBUYA CLUB QUATTRO is a wonderful venue, and I’m really looking forward to it! I hope you all look forward to it too!
Ayumu Comment
I hope you enjoy the songs that we’ve created with the passion of five members with different personalities! Our first EP has finally been released! I’m happy. And I hope to continue seeing new scenery with everyone in 2xME along with these songs!
I promise that I will show you a much improved performance at the 9/21 live! Please look forward to it!
Syogo Comment
After going through a lot of hardships and growth, we have finally completed our EP, which can be considered our starting point! It is packed with a lot of attention to detail, such as the costumes and choreography for each song, the music video, and the lyrics for the rap parts!
After producing their first EP, they will hold a solo concert at SHIBUYA CLUB QUATTRO on September 21st, which will be their biggest capacity to date. They will continue to push forward to create a stage where people can experience possibilities that go beyond the box!!
Hikari Comment
Releasing 2xFE’s first EP has been one of my goals since the formation of 2xFE, so I’m really looking forward to it! I want everyone in 2xME, and of course many people who don’t know 2xFE yet, to listen to our songs!
We will continue to strive for greater heights so that we can deliver an even more powerful 2xFE at our LIVE at SHIBUYA CLUB QUATTRO!
Rio Comment
Each of the five of us has our own voice and lyric style, and this album is an expression of that in our own songs.
This album was only possible thanks to the support of everyone around me, including 2xME. Thank you very much.
I’m already so excited about the solo live show and can’t wait!
I want everyone to experience the amazing world that only 2xFE can offer!

profile
The dance and vocal group “2xFE” (pronounced “Two F E”) is made up of five members, Rui, Ayumu, Hikari, Rio and Syogo, who have all been active individually in various genres as choreographers, pianists, guitarists, beauty YouTubers and rappers.
The members are former trainees who appeared on “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN” and “YOSHIKI SUPERSTAR PROJECT X,” and the group’s name conveys the meaning “-Future From East End- Aiming to send music from Japan, a country far to the east, to the world.”
The main vocals are Rui, with her silky, catchy high-pitched voice, and Rio, who is bilingual in Japanese and English and has a sexy singing voice. In addition, the double raps of Ayumu and Hikari, who are heavy with low tones, and Syogo, who is active as a dancer in many stages, combine to create an original performance that is very appealing.
In October 2023, she made her major debut with “Pentatonic Vibe,” the ending theme for the TBS/MBS nationwide network program “Pre-Bato!!.” The music video, which features high-speed dance performance, has been viewed 1.3 million times on YouTube. In February 2024, she released her second single, “Don’t Let Me Down,” and in June, she released her third single, “Timeline.”
