ASP Announces Title of Major 5th Single with New Lineup: “BA-BY”, Out August 20 (Wed) Jacket artwork also revealed

July 07, 2025

ASP, the 8-member group from WACK, has announced that their 5th major single with the new lineup will be titled “BA-BY” (pronounced: “Barbie”), to be released on Wednesday, August 20, 2025.

The title track “BA-BY” is produced, sound-designed, and composed by producer/DJ Yohji Igarashi, known for his work with rapper HIYADAM and various other artists. Lyrics and composition were handled by Pecori, MC of the hip-hop group ODD Foot Works, who also directed tracks like “GOAT” and “INZM” for Number_i.

“BA-BY” is a hard-hitting rock track that embodies ASP’s signature aggressive style, yet unfolds into an emotional chorus. The result is a song that fully reflects the group’s current identity and energy.

Comments from the creators:
Yohji Igarashi:

“I wanted to create a track that’s hard and powerful, yet still lets each member’s personality shine through. Their bold, distinctive vocals cut through even the most intense sound.”

Pecori:

“The lyrics focus on ASP’s core trait—their punk-like ferocity. They may look cute, but if you get too close thinking they’re harmless, they’ll mess you up. I imagined them as gremlins with a hidden edge. Get fired up—let’s go.”

The coupling track “Get New MIRAI,” which was released earlier on May 4, was produced by rock band Age Factory.

Comment from Age Factory:

“No one knows what the future holds—it exists only within ourselves. I created this song hoping it becomes the energy that connects all members of ASP as a single lifeform, propelling them to their next stage. I’d be happy if ASP’s music can also empower others.”
— Eisuke Shimizu (Age Factory)

Additionally, the jacket photo and full track details for the single have been revealed. Art direction for the cover was handled by JACKSON kaki, who created a fictional character embodying the lyrics of “BA-BY,” with chaotic and eclectic visual motifs layered into a collage.

The limited first edition Blu-ray will include live footage from “WACK in the U.K.” concerts held in August and November 2024 and March 2025. It also features the music video for “TOTSUGEKI!!!!!” and its behind-the-scenes documentary.

As ASP’s national tour “Acid Suspicious Parental Tour” enters its final stretch leading up to the grand finale at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on August 15, “BA-BY” is set to ignite a new chapter of evolution for the group.
