BALLISTIK BOYZ usher in new era with bold anthem ‘Stardust Forever’ ahead of EP and Asia tour

BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE have officially kicked off their next musical era with the release of “Stardust Forever,” the lead track from their upcoming EP scheduled for August 2025. The single, now streaming on all major digital platforms, follows the March launch of their first-ever best album—a milestone that marked the end of one creative chapter and the beginning of another.

New sonic identity rooted in Gen Z and skater culture

“Stardust Forever” is a powerful fusion of emo, pop punk, and alternative, shaped by the skater culture aesthetics that resonate with today’s youth. The track delivers a raw, emotionally charged soundscape that sets a striking tone for the group’s musical evolution.

Penned by rising Gen Z artist vividboooy in collaboration with R.I.K., the song features poignant lyrics like “80 years of life,” reflecting both the angst and resilience of a generation determined to live fully and authentically. The bold sound signals BALLISTIK BOYZ’s commitment to breaking boundaries while staying deeply rooted in emotional sincerity.

Momentum continues with arena show and Asia tour

“Stardust Forever” builds on the success of their November 2024 hit “SAY IT,” which served as the theme song for their sold-out Nippon Budokan concert, BBZ EVOLUTION. That event became a career-defining moment, selling out in just one minute and cementing the group’s rise in the J-pop scene.

Next, the group will headline their first-ever arena concert, BALLISTIK BOYZ ARENA LIVE 2025 “IMPACT,” this June. The momentum doesn’t stop there, as the group embarks on their highly anticipated first Asia tour, BALLISTIK BOYZ LIVE TOUR 2025 “IMPACT” ～ASIA～, expanding their reach across the region.

With “Stardust Forever,” BALLISTIK BOYZ have declared that their future is not only bright—it’s rebellious, heartfelt, and undeniably impactful.
