Japanese idol group GANG PARADE will officially disband tonight, October 29, following their farewell concert “GANG PARADE LAST SAY HELLO!!” at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO). The show will be broadcast live and exclusively on Niconico, starting at 19:00 JST.
The first half of the livestream will be free to watch, while the second half is reserved for Niconico Premium members. An archive of the full broadcast will remain available until November 28 at 23:59 JST, giving fans a window to revisit the performance afterward.
Alongside the stream announcement, it was confirmed that footage from the final show will be released as a two-disc Blu-ray set titled “GANG PARADE LAST SAY HELLO!! at Zepp Haneda (TOKYO),” arriving on March 31, 2027. Disc 1 will contain the complete concert, while Disc 2 will include behind-the-scenes footage and other bonus material.
Who is GANG PARADE?
GANG PARADE is an idol group under the WACK talent agency, built around the concept of “everyone’s playground.” The current 11-member lineup consists of Miki Yamamachi, Yua Yumeno, Maika Can GP, Coco Party on Coco, Yui Ga Dokuson, Usagi Tsukino, Kira Mei, Kya Non, Chan Baby, Naruha World, and Aina Star. The group traces its roots to a predecessor unit formed in 2014, which went through two renamings and multiple lineup changes before launching as GANG PARADE. It made its major-label debut under Warner Music Japan in April 2019, and after further splits and member turnover, settled into a 13-member lineup in May 2022.
GANG PARADE’s major second album, “OUR PARADE,” topped both the Oricon and Billboard Japan weekly charts on its May 2023 release. The group went on to complete a 13-date, 12-city national tour that year, and in January 2024 sold out a solo show at Tokyo’s Hibiya Park Outdoor Concert Hall, its first performance there in four years and eight months. In June 2025, the group released its third major album, “GANG RISE,” and kept drawing attention through band-format shows and collaborations with other acts before announcing earlier this year that it would disband within 2026.
Author’s Comment
Twelve years, three label eras, and more lineup reshuffles than I can count on both hands — and GANG PARADE is bowing out with a livestream instead of quietly fading away. Honestly, I respect the hustle: WACK groups live fast and burn bright, and this one somehow clawed back from every split to chart at No. 1. Of course there’s a Blu-ray landing five months later — that’s just how the idol industry squeezes out every last yen of a goodbye. But let’s be real: idol disbandment isn’t tragedy, it’s a life cycle, and these eleven women built something genuine with their fans along the way. Tonight they get to end it on their own terms, in front of a camera, which honestly is more dignity than most groups get.
