TRAVIS JAPAN – SAY I DO

Travis Japan kicks off 2025 with the release of their highly anticipated first physical single, featuring new songs “Say I do” and “Tokyo Crazy Night,” out today March 7 via Capitol Records/Universal Music Japan. LISTEN

The double A-side single follows the December 4th release of the group’s sophomore album, VIIsual, which showcases Travis Japan’s artistic growth and dynamic sound. Featuring a blend of heartfelt ballads and infectious dance tracks, the album solidified the group’s position as a leading force in J-pop.

“Say I do” serves as the theme song for TV Asahi’s Honnou Switch, and stars Travis Japan’s leader, Kaito “Chaka” Miyachika, in his first lead role. Based on a popular comic, the drama follows childhood friends rekindling their love. The track opens with a soft piano melody and tender vocals, building into a heartfelt love song.

ABOUT TRAVIS JAPAN:

Travis Japan is a formidable 7-member dance and performance pop group from Tokyo, named in honor of award-winning American choreographer Travis Payne (Michael Jackson’s This is It, Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball Tour, etc.), who helped audition them in 2012. Their performance style is a captivating mix of modern, jazz, and hip hop. 

In their native country, Travis Japan has headlined numerous performances including their annual Japanesque stage show TORA JA -NINJAPAN-. The group has sold out 3 consecutive shows in the fall of 2020 at the 17,000 capacity Yokohama Arena, before going on to host their 12-city IMAGE NATION national tour in the spring and summer of 2021.

The group has drawn acclaim for its captivating, syncopated dance moves and catchy pop music stylings, and in March of 2022 headed to Los Angeles. Their journey from “World of Dance” to “America’s Got Talent”, combined with their superb skills as performers, caught the attention of Capitol Records and UMG, and the decision was made to sign and release their music globally. Highly anticipated debut single “JUST DANCE!” surpassed 10 million video views and launched at No.5 on Billboard Global chart (excluding US), which made the group the first Japanese act to break into the top five with a debut single since the chart’s inception.

Roughly one year after signing with Capitol Records, Travis Japan brought their debut album to the world. The album, “Road To A”, symbolizes Travis Japan’s pursuit of the essence of entertainment and fully encapsulates everything about Travis Japan as they prove to the world that they are authentic to who they are. The “A” within the album title is an abbreviation, as the “A” stands for authenticity.

Their first 2 songs released in 2024 “T.G.I. Friday Night” and “Sweetest Tune” both ranked at no.1 on “Billboard Japan “Download Songs” and no. 2 on “Billboard Japan HOT 100”.

For the top of the 2024 year, Travis Japan went on the road for their nationwide arena tour, “Travis Japan Concert Tour 2024 Road to Authenticity”, to support the debut album. Starting from September 2024, they will be on the road again for their first and sold-out world tour visiting 6 cities “Travis Japan World Tour 2024 Road to A”. With the immense success happening in addition to the exciting year to come, Travis Japan cements themselves as an international group with no intention of slowing down.

The album features “Revolving door” which is currently #13 on the Top 200 US Spotify chart, “Sports car” which exploded on social media with over 4.7M TikTok creations and is currently #12 at US Pop Radio, and the irresistible  “It’s ok I’m ok” which hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart and earned the star her highest-debuting song of her career on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Last week, Tate appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and performed “Sports car” and “Dear god” on Saturday Night Live.

Lady Gaga releases Mayhem album via 360 MAGAZINE.

LADY GAGA – MAYHEM

LADY GAGA ANNOUNCES HER HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM, MAYHEM, DUE MARCH 7 VIA INTERSCOPE RECORDS

PRE-ORDER MAYHEM HERE

Following previously released tracks “Disease” and “Die With a Smile,” Gaga will debut the album’s third single and its accompanying music video on February 2, airing during a commercial break at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards®

13-time Grammy Award-winner Lady Gaga today announced her seventh studio album, MAYHEM, due March 7 via Interscope Records. The announcement follows a week of teasers on her website, which was relaunched today alongside a new storefront featuring the first of several merch drops to celebrate the highly anticipated project. Blending the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold, fearless artistic vision, MAYHEM marks a triumphant return to Gaga’s pop roots. The album explores themes of chaos and transformation, celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal. MAYHEM is available to pre-order HERE.  

“The album started as me facing my fear of returning to the pop music my earliest fans loved,” said Gaga. Far from a nostalgic throwback, MAYHEM reinvents her early sound with a kaleidoscopic approach that draws from her expansive musical library while embracing a fresh and fearless artistic perspective. Gaga describes the creative process as “reassembling a shattered mirror: even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something beautiful and whole in its own new way.”

The 14-track project—which features previously released songs “Disease” and “Die With a Smile”—was executive produced by Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt. Producers on the album include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.  

Disease” was hailed by The Independent as “her best in a long while,” with The Guardian praising its “fizzing, distorted synths” and “pounding, slightly industrial beat.” Rolling Stone highlighted its “cavernous synth line” and “classic Gaga shout-along chorus.” Directed by Tanu Muino, the music video for “Disease” was lauded by Vogue as “one of the best videos of the year,” while W celebrated its “cinematic, almost theater-like experience.”

“Die With a Smile,” Gaga’s chart-topping collaboration with Bruno Mars, has become a global sensation. Currently in its third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the ballad also topped the Billboard Global 200 and Spotify’s Top 50 Global, setting a record as the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify. With over 2.7 billion streams to date, the song is nominated for two 2025 Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Billboard called it “a match made in Grammy heaven,” while The New York Times described it as “a romantic, lightly apocalyptic slow-dance.”

Gaga will debut the third single and accompanying music video from MAYHEM for fans on February 2, airing during a commercial break at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards®. The full tracklist for the album will be revealed at a later date.

Ahead of the Grammys, Gaga will join artists including Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks, and Joni Mitchell to perform at FireAid on January 30, benefiting the people and communities devastated by the recent LA wildfires. On March 17, she will be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards, followed by a headlining performance at Coachella on April 11 and 18.

ROLLS-ROYCE BLACK BADGE SPECTRE MAKES NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT MODA MIAMI via Vaughn Lowery's 360 Magazine.

Moda Miami + RR Black Badge Spectre

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars today announced the North American debut of Black Badge Spectre at the second annual Moda Miami 2025, the ultimate gathering of luxury car collectors in North America. The newest addition to the Rolls-Royce family made its debut at an exclusive dinner on the lawn of the historic Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. Black Badge Spectre is Rolls-Royce in its boldest form. Black Badge Spectre represents Rolls-Royce at its boldest, featuring a striking black exterior finish and a vivid interior. Delivering 792 lb-ft of torque and a record 659 hp, it is the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever.

Black Badge Spectre introduces two key powertrain innovations to Rolls-Royce’s ‘Architecture of Luxury.’ The first is ‘Infinity Mode,’ activated by pressing the Infinity (∞) button on the steering wheel. This mode unleashes the full 659 hp with a more aggressive throttle response. The second, ‘Spirited Mode,’ enables intense acceleration. Engaged by fully depressing both the brake and throttle simultaneously, it provides a haptic and visual cue before delivering a surge of power with 792 lb-ft of torque, propelling the motor car from 0-60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.

Visitors to Moda Miami had the opportunity to experience Black Badge Spectre’s Bespoke design. The Technical Fiber Illuminated Fascia frames an abstract representation of the Spirit of Ecstasy alongside the Infinity symbol, signifying limitless power. The instrument dials can be customized with a choice of five vibrant color themes: Vivid Grellow, Neon Nights, Cyan Fire, Ultraviolet, and Synth Wave, allowing clients to personalize digital surfaces within their motor car via the SPIRIT operating system.

“Moda Miami is the perfect venue to debut Black Badge Spectre. South Florida is one of the most vibrant regions in North America for luxury and high-end automobiles. In just its second year, Moda Miami has generated tremendous excitement for these exclusive commissions. We are thrilled to share this new model with such an esteemed audience. Black Badge Spectre is about more than just enhanced power and performance—it’s a lifestyle statement for our clients,” said Jon Colbeth, President & CEO, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars NA LLC
