GANG PARADE Releases New Digital Single “Ima wo Kakeru,” Written and Produced by Tomomasa Teranaka (KEYTALK)!

The 11-member idol group GANG PARADE has released their latest digital single, “Ima wo Kakeru,” today, April 3.

“Ima wo Kakeru” is an emotional tune that blends a cool, fast-paced sound reminiscent of early KEYTALK with a touch of melancholy in both melody and lyrics. It serves as an honest and heartfelt anthem of encouragement from the group to themselves. The track was written and produced by Tomomasa Teranaka (Vo./Gt.)—aka “Kyosho”—from KEYTALK, who also participated in the recording with backing guitar. Teranaka previously contributed to the 2024 hit song “Pashogira,” making this a highly anticipated collaboration. The new track will also be featured on GANG PARADE’s upcoming major-label third full-length album, “GANG RISE,” set for release on June 18.

Ahead of the CD release of GANG RISE, the group is currently streaming “GANG RISE (Introduction),” a perfect entry point for new listeners. The digital album includes ten powerful tracks, such as the previously released singles from 2023 and 2024, along with the February release “So many members”—making it an ideal pre-live-show playlist.

Starting April 19, GANG PARADE will kick off their nationwide “GANG RISE TOUR” this spring. Fans are encouraged to listen to their new music and experience the latest evolution of GANG PARADE live on stage.
