ONE OR EIGHT<\/strong>, the eight-member Japan-based boy group behind Yellow Brick Road<\/em>, the new Black Clover<\/em> ending theme, played their Singapore debut at Victoria Theatre<\/strong> on Wednesday, 21 October 2026<\/strong>. The SOZO Live<\/a> night opened a three-city Southeast Asian run, and within 15 minutes the room was shouting back at the stage.<\/p>\n

That shouting came with a script. Shortly after the introductions, the members raised a toast and called \u201cIchi ka<\/em>\u201c, and the crowd fired back \u201cbachika<\/em>\u201c. Put together, Ichi ka bachika<\/em> means \u201call or nothing\u201d, which is a fitting motto for a group that debuted in August 2024 under the concept \u201cBET ON YOURSELF\u201d.<\/p>\n

We were in the hall for it, and I shot the night on photo and video, from the haze-filled opener to the final bow. The show was underway by 7.39pm with all eight in loose grey and olive streetwear against a graffiti screen, and by 7.41pm the stage was a wash of red and blue beams.<\/p>\n

Who Are ONE OR EIGHT?<\/h2>\n

The line-up runs eight names deep: MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA and YUGA<\/strong>. If anime is your thing, you\u2019ve probably heard them already, because Yellow Brick Road<\/em> closes out each episode of Black Clover<\/em> 2nd Season, which began airing in Japan on 3 October 2026.<\/p>\n

The group wrote the song for the anime and released it digitally on 7 October. When the Black Clover<\/em> production announced the song in September 2026, it was billed as the group\u2019s first track centred on Japanese lyrics, and MIZUKI compared the group\u2019s push from Japan to the world with its fans to Asta and his companions fighting past their limits, which is about as on-brand as an anime tie-in gets.<\/p>\n

Their fans are called 1DERZ (pronounced \u201cWonders\u201d)<\/strong>, and that name came back on the night itself. More on SOUMA: his ONE WHO GLOWS reunion with STARGLOW\u2019s TAIKI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Seated Night at Empress Place<\/h2>\n

SOZO Live billed the night as ONE OR EIGHT Special SHOW CASE 2026 in ASIA -V8-<\/em><\/strong>. It ran as a fully seated concert at Victoria Theatre, 9 Empress Place, with doors at 7pm and the show set for 7.30pm.<\/p>\n

Regular prices were GA at S$88, VIP at S$108 and VVIP at S$138<\/strong>, excluding booking fees. By the organiser\u2019s 20 October update, only the VVIP tier was marked sold out. That top tier bought the best-view section, soundcheck access, a 1-for-all photo, a signed poster, a badge, a lanyard and priority admission, while VIP came with premium-view seating, a signed poster, a badge, a lanyard and priority admission. S$30 over VIP bought a soundcheck and a group photo. No wonder VVIP went first.<\/p>\n

Merch went on sale before doors. According to SOZO Live\u2019s notice, T-shirts, flight-tag keyholders, signed photocards and sticker sets were offered while stocks lasted. Singapore buyers were capped at one signed photocard per member and one eight-photocard set each, and nothing could be returned or exchanged.<\/p>\n

Inside, wood-slat side walls framed a wide stage with a large rear screen. Moving lights and haze washed that stage in red, blue, yellow, green and magenta, so a theatre at Empress Place spent the evening looking like a club!<\/p>\n

The seats were full of colour in my frames: phones, green-and-white lightsticks with a few purple ones mixed in, heart-shaped boards and fan-made cut-outs. Some audience members were on their feet despite the seated layout.<\/p>\n

Ichi Ka, Bachika<\/h2>\n

They came out dancing, all eight at once, under red and blue light and thick haze. No slow build for a city they\u2019d never played.<\/p>\n

Introductions came next, then the toast, and for the first time that night the room sounded like a two-way conversation. I caught that exchange on video.<\/p>\n

The calls go further than the toast. The group\u2019s official fanchant guide for TOKYO DRIFT, which they performed later that night, shows when to shout along:<\/p>\n
