TYLA Welcomes BE:FIRST as Special Guests for Her First Solo Japan Show

BE:FIRST will appear as special guests at Tyla’s upcoming Japan performance, scheduled for November 11, at Ariake Arena in Tokyo.

Born in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa, Tyla has gained international acclaim for blending house, hip-hop, and jazz with the South African genre amapiano. Her global hit single Water earned her recognition at major music awards including the Grammys, BET Awards, and Billboard Awards. In March 2024, she released her debut album Tyla, and that summer made her first visit to Japan at SUMMER SONIC 2024.

BE:FIRST, a dance and vocal group under SKY-HI’s BMSG label, achieved major milestones in 2025 with their first domestic four-dome tour, attracting around 300,000 fans across nine shows in four cities. The group also embarked on their first international tour, BE:FIRST World Tour 2025 -Who is BE:FIRST?-, performing in 12 cities across the U.S., Asia, and Europe.

Tyla and BE:FIRST previously shared the MOUNTAIN STAGE in both Tokyo and Osaka during SUMMER SONIC 2024.
