AOEN
Get ready to fall for it, the protégés of HYBE reveal their roadmap for what promises to be an electrifying spring.
It’s official, the J-pop group AOEN (pronounced “a-o-en”) has just released its promotional schedule for its highly anticipated second single, titled “秒で落ちた”, set for release on March 18, 2026. The promotional image, with its sleek blue-toned aesthetic, reveals a packed timeline beginning this January 19 with the first series of visual photos. The single’s title, which can be translated as “Falling in love in one second,” hints at a poetic exploration of that fleeting moment when the heart takes the plunge.
For those still discovering their universe, AOEN is a seven-member Japanese group formed in 2025 through the survival show “Oen-High,” broadcast on Nihon TV. Managed by YX LABELS (a subsidiary of HYBE Japan), the group consists of seven talented members: YUJU (leader), TUKA (vice-leader), GAKU, HIKARU, SOTA, KYOSUKE, and REO. Their name symbolizes the “blue flame,” the hottest and most intense, reflecting their ambition to ignite the scene with unstoppable passion.
Since their debut in June 2025 with the single “THE BLUE SUN,” the members have established themselves as “youth ambassadors,” combining refreshing pop sounds with a refined visual identity. This new project marks an important milestone in solidifying their unique presence within the new generation of J-pop. Fans, known as Aoring, are especially looking forward to March 9, when the official music video will finally be unveiled.
The revealed schedule promises a February filled with musical and visual teasers, culminating in the physical CD release in mid-March. Balancing mystery with a gentle spring vibe, AOEN seems ready to capture the hearts of their audience once again, one second at a time.
Don’t miss the release of “秒で落ちた” on March 18, 2026, available in multiple editions for all collectors.
