On Monday, September 22, 2025, ASP kicked off their first-ever UK tour ASP in the UK Tour at Bristol live venue The Fleece, the opening night of a three-city run across the UK.

This tour marks a turning point for the group, as it has been announced that original members YUMEKA NOWKANA? and MOG RYAN will graduate from ASP following the performances in Bristol (22nd), Manchester (23rd), and London (25th).

Bristol—the tour’s starting point—is a port city that gave rise to world-renowned artists such as Massive Attack and Portishead, and introduced trip hop to the global stage. Fans from across countries gathered to witness what kind of first step ASP would carve out in a city that has long fostered a rich, experimental music culture.

The venue, The Fleece, holds roughly 450 people. In the early afternoon, VIP ticket holders enjoyed a relaxed session with the members, sharing light snacks, chatting, and taking cheki photos in an intimate atmosphere.

Although the show did not sell out—understandable for a first-ever Bristol date—the floor was filled with a mix of local audience members and devoted fans who had traveled all the way from Japan, known collectively as “ROGUES.”

Before the show began, former WACK CEO Junnosuke Watanabe, now living in the UK as a graduate student, appeared to deliver an opening talk, raising the excitement in the room. Then, as the opening SE blasted, the eight members of ASP took to the stage.

The live set launched with “TOXiC iNVASiON,” a digital track provided by The Prodigy’s Maxim, cutting through the venue with razor-sharp beats. They followed immediately with “Black Nails,” produced by AFJB (the collaboration unit of rock band Age Factory and rapper JUBEE). The rapid-fire start instantly amped up the energy in the room. During the first MC, each member introduced themselves in English, receiving rousing applause from the crowd.

Next came a live-remixed dance version of “TOTSUGEKI!!!!!,” which got the floor bouncing, before shifting into “MAKE A MOVE,” crafted by London rock duo WARGASM. From there, the group unleashed “I won’t let you go,” “darma,” “Japanese Girl,” “SEXUAL CONVERSATiON,” and “Tokyo Sky Blues” in quick succession, steadily building the intensity. Some ROGUES danced with smartphones in hand, others shouted calls at the top of their lungs, while still others jumped in place—the audience freely immersed themselves in the music.

During the MC, NAMELESS playfully referenced the film Bohemian Rhapsody, demonstrating unique vocal training techniques. Her humorous delivery sparked a chorus of voices from both members and audience, creating a strong sense of unity across the venue. The show then surged forward with “NO COLOR S,” “I HATE U,” “Blueberry Gum,” and “Heaven’s Seven,” driving the excitement to its peak.

The main set closed with ASP’s major debut single, “Hyper Cracker.” The chorus shook the floor with massive calls as the members exited the stage, basking in cheers.

Soon after, they returned to answer the encore call, reigniting the crowd with “BA-BY,” produced and arranged by Yohji Igarashi with lyrics and composition by Pecori. For the grand finale, they performed “Get New Mirai,” produced by Age Factory. Fueled by speed and raw emotion, the audience roared with passionate chants as the tour’s opening night reached its climactic close.
