LDH JAPAN’s rising vocal group WOLF HOWL HARMONY from EXILE TRIBE took the stage at the 22nd Tokyo International Music Market (22nd TIMM) Showcase Live, held on November 6, 2025, at Spotify O-EAST in Tokyo. Their participation marks another major step in the group’s expanding journey toward international recognition.
Now in its 22nd year, TIMM—organized by the Japan Music Culture Export (JMCE)—serves as a vital platform connecting artists, labels, and industry professionals from Japan and abroad. At this year’s event, which gathered music professionals from around the world, WOLF HOWL HARMONY appeared in the showcase for “YouTube Music Nights Presents ASIA DAY.”
Opening with the Brazilian funk–infused “BAKUON -爆音-,” they instantly brought the venue to life, followed by their song “ROLLIN’ STONES”. Before performing ‘Frozen Butterfly,’ the group also delivered an a cappella performance that showcased their delicate harmonies—a striking contrast to the earlier intensity.
During the MC segment, members RYOJI, SUZUKI, GHEE, and HIROTO engaged the audience in both Japanese and English, connecting with fans and professionals from around the world. Midway through the show, they surprised the crowd with a special pre-release performance of their new song “Marmalade”—the ending theme for TV Asahi and Toei’s new historical drama Masked NINJA Akakage. The mid-tempo, message-driven track paired with their heartfelt vocals with “Pink Flash Lights” created a warm atmosphere in the venue, and they closed with their hit “Bossa Bosa,” earning enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
The group’s appearance at TIMM comes on the heels of their successful activities across Asia. Since debuting in 2023, WOLF HOWL HARMONY have rapidly expanded their presence beyond Japan. Kicking off with MUUJI FESTIVAL 2025 in January, they have consecutively performed at Thailand’s leading music festivals, including FWD MUSIC LIVE Fest 4 in April and MIXEDPOP MUSIC FESTIVAL BANGKOK 2025 in July. Their exceptional vocal prowess and deep respect for Thai culture have earned them a fast-growing local fandom, culminating in their win as “Best Boy Group” at the ASIA TOP AWARDS 2025 in July.
Their recent performance at MUSIC MATTERS LIVE 2025 in Singapore, one of the world’s three major music trade shows, further underscored their global momentum. Performing before international industry professionals, they delivered a commanding set that garnered widespread attention and paved the way for their inclusion in the “YouTube Music Nights Presents ASIA DAY” showcase at TIMM.
WOLF HOWL HARMONY have also been confirmed to perform at Southeast Asia’s largest outdoor music festival, BIG MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL 15, taking place in Thailand on December 6, 2025.
Through their performance at TIMM 2025, WOLF HOWL HARMONY reaffirmed not only their musical diversity but also their ability to connect deeply with audiences across cultures, a testament to their rising status as one of Japan’s most promising acts with growing global appeal.
