ZICO and Yoasobi Ikura’s DUET Lights Up Music Station SUPER LIVE 2025 Stage

Japan's premier music program Music Station SUPER LIVE 2025 delivered a dazzling stage through the collaboration of ZICO, Yoasobi Ikura, and Japanese musician LIRAS. In the broadcast on the 26th, ZICO opened the performance with his new song 'DUET' alongside LIRAS, while Yoasobi Ikura showcased a versatile vocal performance that captivated the audience. The two kept the upbeat tempo and filled the venue, conveying the charm of the new release on site without compromise.

ZICO's activities in Japan continue to unfold on multiple fronts. Earlier, he joined m-flo's 25th-anniversary Loves series and released the collaborative track 'EKO EKO', and on the 19th released the single 'DUET' with Yoasobi Ikura. He was also chosen as a campaign model for the global denim brand GUESS JEANS in Japan, reinforcing his presence in the fashion world.

Next year's schedule is also worth watching. The Tokyo-based solo concert returning after eight years, '2026 ZICO LIVE: TOKYO DRIVE', will be held on February 7, strengthening his momentum in Japan. Meanwhile, ZICO also drew acclaim at the August mega music festival 'A-NATION 2025' and drew attention at year-end music awards. After winning 'Best Producer' at the 2025 Melon Music Awards, he performed 'DUET' to boost the event's energy.

In the music charts, DUET continued its ascent. Right after its release on MMA, the track drew strong interest, and on the 21st it topped Korea YouTube's 'Trending Music' chart. The momentum persisted through 10 a.m. on the 27th, keeping DUET in the upper ranks. During the same period, Korea Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs' rose five spots to No. 6, and Instagram's 'Reels Popular Audio' also remained in the top five through the 26th, signaling positive results on digital charts and social responses.

Thus ZICO's activities in the Japanese music scene prove both musicality and brand power. Looking ahead, starting with 'DUET', new and diverse collaborations are likely to continue, and the solo concert titled '2026 ZICO LIVE: TOKYO DRIVE' is expected to attract even more attention from Japanese fans.
