THE JET BOY BANGERZ from EXILE TRIBE (TJBB) ushers in a bold new era with their latest retro-future anthem, “HEAD UP introduced by Zeebra.” Drawing inspiration from 80s electro, heavy bass, and foundational techno, the track is an explosive showcase of the group’s signature precision and vocal grit.
“‘HEAD UP’ is a song that reflects TJBB’s unstoppable energy,” says member YUHI. “It is a declaration that we will change the future of the scene and continue moving forward no matter what anyone says.”
The collaboration marks a historic cultural hand-off as Zeebra, the legendary pioneer of Japanese hip-hop, joins forces with TJBB to connect the roots of street culture with its future. YUHI notes that by bringing together the veteran legend and the new generation, the group achieved a more authentic retro-future sound: “With Zeebra’s participation, the song and its performance gained not only our own momentum but also greater credibility and weight.”
Since their debut, TJBB has established itself as a dominant chart-topping force. Their EP PHOTOGENIC claimed the No. 1 spot on the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking, while their first full-length album, JET BOY, hit No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Chart, rapidly expanding their fanbase across Japan and beyond. This commercial momentum, paired with a viral appearance on America’s Got Talent that has surpassed 827,000 views, cements TJBB’s status as a global powerhouse in the evolution of Japanese dance culture.
Beyond their recording success, TJBB is rapidly gaining ground as a powerhouse live act. Their standout performances at MIXEDPOP Music Festival Bangkok 2025 and MUUJI Festival 2026 represent a major leap in their Southeast Asian expansion. Looking ahead, the group aims to solidify their presence and captivate new audiences with their upcoming Live Tour ~JET BANGING~, launching in September 2026.
“HEAD UP introduced by Zeebra” is now available for digital streaming, with a physical release scheduled for March 18, 2026.
