Dance vocal group 2xFE (pronounced: Two F E) has released a digital single of the lead song “PUZZLE” from their first EP “Future From East End” to be released on August 28. In addition, they have also released the music video for the song.
“PUZZLE” is a fast-paced mid-tempo ballad with pure and straightforward lyrics: “Our story = PUZZLE is filled with a piece called ‘you’. Whether we cry or laugh, it will continue no matter how many years pass.”
The lyrics and music were written by the powerful collaboration of R&B artist LOAR, who has provided songs for various top musicians such as BE:FIRST and KANGDANIEL, and Sunny, who has worked as a music producer, track maker, and arranger, writing lyrics, composing, and producing for BTS and Namie Amuro, as well as sound producer ZEN, who has supported a wide range of artists including BE:FIRST JUNON, Awich, and Akanishi Jin, through sound production, lyricism, composition, arrangement, and engineering.
The music video is a refreshing video perfect for summer, showcasing the members’ performances such as lip-syncing and dance scenes, and also giving a glimpse of the friendship that 2xFE has in everyday life.
In addition, a release commemorative event (free live performance & special event) will be held at 10 locations including the Kanto area, Osaka, and online from August 3rd. There will also be a “stamp rally” where luxurious prizes will be awarded according to the number of stamps collected at each venue.
With CD releases, music videos being released, and a solo concert in September, 2xFE will be keeping their eyes peeled for their activities throughout the year.

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, they made their major debut with “Pentatonic Vibe,” the ending theme for the TBS/MBS nationwide network program “Pre-Bato!!.” The music video, featuring high-speed dance performances, has been viewed 1.3 million times on YouTube. They released their second single “Don’t Let Me Down” in February 2024, and their third single “Timeline” in June. Their first CD since their debut, “Future From East End,” is scheduled to be released on August 28th.
