SAYAKA, KAEDE, MIYUU, RURI, and RUI, the five members embody the concept of “Dream Agents” — individuals who bring dreams to life across every dimension.
Each member channels her own unique power: Optimism and Joy, Confidence, Fantasy, Brilliance, and Female Empowerment, joining forces to eliminate negative energy from the world through their innovative pop sound.
Their long-awaited debut album, “Sequence 01,” released in May 2025, features 11 tracks including their viral hit “Underground” — which topped the Spotify Viral Charts and dominated social media — and “Sugar Free Venom,” a fierce girl-rap anthem featuring Kesha.
The group’s previous singles have been spotlighted on Nuova musica del venerdì, NME, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue.
In August 2025, f5ve was nominated for Forbes JAPAN’s “30 UNDER 30 2025,” recognizing young innovators shaping the future.
The group’s executive production team includes BloodPop® (Grammy-winning producer for Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift), along with Count Baldor (Dorian Electra, PinkPantheress) and A.G. Cook (Charli XCX, PC Music).
Together, these world-class producers craft a soundscape that amplifies f5ve’s individuality and fearless creative vision.

It also entered the Viral Top 50 charts on Spotify in nine Asian countries and regions, including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea, while also becoming a viral hit in the United States.
In February 2025, PSYCHIC FEVER successfully completed their first U.S. tour, the “PSYCHIC FEVER FIRST U.S. TOUR” performing in six cities across the United States and marking a major milestone in their international journey. That same month, they announced a global partnership with Warner Music Group, further accelerating their expansion into the global music scene.
In March, the group continued building international momentum with a performance at SXSW 2025, one of the world’s most prestigious music festivals.
In July, to commemorate the third anniversary of their formation, PSYCHIC FEVER launched their first Europe Fan Meeting Tour, connecting with fans in Berlin and London.

Message from PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE‍

Siamo davvero onorati di essere presenti al “ennichi ’25 Japanese Music Experience LA”.
Dal nostro debutto nel luglio 2022, abbiamo costruito il nostro percorso passo dopo passo, partendo dal Giappone, espandendoci attraverso la Thailandia e il Sud-Est asiatico, poi raggiungendo gli Stati Uniti e l'Europa.
Just as the vision behind the “MUSIC WAY PROJECT” encourages challenging the world from Japan and forging new paths, we too are still somewhere along that journey. But at this moment, we’re determined to accelerate our momentum even further.
From Los Angeles to the world with the slogan “Japanese music drives the world.”
We hope many people will feel the power of that message through PSYCHIC FEVER’s performance.
On the day of the event, we’ll step on stage with pride, representing Japan, and we promise to deliver our best performance yet. We’re truly excited to share this special moment with all of you.
