Bingkai Karya – Two powerhouse groups have finally joined forces. One monumental track. Generations from Exile Tribe and Da-ice, known for their explosive performances and 4-octave twin vocals have released their first-ever collaboration, “Grounds”.
The idea sparked after their joint performance at A-nation 2024, where the chemistry was undeniable. From there, Da-ice’s Taiki Kudo and Generations’ Alan Shirahama teamed up to write and compose the track, with production by Shin Sakiura. To complete the collaboration, choreography was created by Da-ice’s Hayate Wada and Generations’ Yuta Nakatsuka.
Heavy-hitting and emotional, “Grounds” captures the parallel journeys of two groups who’ve built their careers layer by layer, proving their resilience and hunger to keep moving forward. The fusion of Generations and Da-ice’s distinct vocals makes the track hit even harder, a celebration of perseverance and evolution.
With two of Japan’s leading groups uniting for the first time, “Grounds” marks more than a collaboration it’s a milestone moment fans across Asia and beyond won’t want to miss.
About Generations from Exile Tribe
Generations made their debut in November 2012 with “Brave It Out.” Since then, every single they’ve released has entered the top 10 of the Oricon charts, with three consecutive albums reaching No. 1.
Their live presence has been equally impactful: from their first hall and world tour in 2015, to arena tours in 2016 and 2017, followed by a second world tour in 2017 and their first-ever dome tour in 2018. In 2019, they headlined their biggest tour yet the nationwide 5-dome tour “Generations Live Tour 2019 ‘Shonen Chronicle’” attracting 460,000 fans. That same year, they made their debut appearance at NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen and went on to perform for three consecutive years.
In April 2024, Generations were appointed as “Gymnastics Nippon Support Ambassadors.” Their track “Endless Journey,” released in May, was chosen as the official support song for Japan’s gymnastics team at the Paris 2024 Olympics, dedicated to all gymnasts across the country.
Looking ahead, 2025 marks a new creative chapter: the group is rolling out “Produce 6ix Colors” a six-month project of back-to-back digital singles individually produced by each member and will embark on the nationwide 8-city, 14-show arena tour “Generations Live Tour 2025 ‘6ix Sense’” starting in September. With no signs of slowing down, Generations continue to prove themselves as one of Japan’s most dynamic and unmissable groups.

Da-ice are a five-member vocal and performance group known for their signature 4-octave twin vocals. The lineup features vocalists Yudai Ohno and Sota Hanamura, alongside performers Taiki Kudo, Toru Iwaoka, and Hayate Wada.
Their 2020 release “Citrus” became the first track by a Japanese male dance & vocal group to surpass 100 million streams, and went on to win the prestigious 63rd Japan Record Award in 2021. Following that, “Starmine” became a nationwide hit, celebrated as a festival anthem of the Reiwa era that transcended generations.
In 2023, Da-ice marked their 10th anniversary with “I Wonder,” which quickly became their fastest track to exceed 200 million streams, with over 1 billion plays on TikTok alone. That same year, the group achieved a long-awaited milestone with their debut appearance at the 75th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
This summer, their latest single “Nonfictions” written as the official theme song for Netto Koshien and the 2025 high school baseball championship has gone viral across social media, further cementing Da-ice’s place as one of Japan’s leading groups today.
