Hmm... Number_i

Hold up. Japanese trio Number_i just caught my eye because Spotify threw "DIGITAL GIRL" onto their #NowWatching playlist at #35. If you haven’t tapped in yet, Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi broke away to do things their own way under TOBE, trading predictable idol formulas for heavy 808s, sharp rap cadences, and sleek R&B since dropping "GOAT." Seeing them show up on curation radars stateside proves Tokyo's biggest disruptors are actively creeping into global rotations. Keep your eyes open.
