Members of &TEAM, NICHOLAS, YUMA, JO, and MAKI, collaborated with SANTOS BRAVOS, the first Latin pop group from HYBE LATIN AMERICA, on the song 'KAWASAKI (&TEAM Remix),' which ranked in the top 10 of the Spotify Viral Top 50 chart in 10 Latin American countries (1st in Peru, 2nd in Paraguay, 3rd in Venezuela, 3rd in Bolivia, 4th in Guatemala, 5th in Ecuador, 5th in Mexico, 6th in El Salvador, 7th in Chile, 9th in Costa Rica). It also ranked 7th in Japan, drawing global attention to the chemistry between Latin music and &TEAM. Aiming for the world from Japan, &TEAM has created a new hit in Latin America. This song marks &TEAM's first participation in singing a Spanish song, realizing a dream collaboration with SANTOS BRAVOS, who debuted in Latin America and aims for global success, while &TEAM debuted in Japan. 'Kawasaki' is a club dance tune that fuses Latin urban sound with the unique rhythm of Brazilian music. The lyrics, which compare the thrill of falling in love to the engine of a racing motorcycle, are impressive. The lyrics, blending Spanish, English, and Portuguese, harmonize with the members' diverse tones, receiving positive feedback from fans worldwide, and the addition of Japanese by &TEAM adds a new charm. The project of 'KAWASAKI (&TEAM Remix)' was expected to create local synergy between the two groups debuting from Latin America and Japan, and this viral hit is making a new global impact. Additionally, &TEAM is set to release their 3rd EP 'We on Fire' on April 21 and embark on an Asian tour, '2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'BLAZE THE WAY' in JAPAN,' with expectations for the group's activities aiming for the world in 2026. ◆&TEAM Comment: We feel truly fortunate and have had a wonderful experience collaborating with SANTOS BRAVOS. We share a special bond as groups with the same goal of aiming for the world from Latin America and Japan, and seeing SANTOS BRAVOS thrive inspires and motivates us. We hope you can feel the synergy created by both groups through this song.
