STARTO Entertainment junior group KEY TO LIT will make its CD debut this winter from Universal Music. The surprise announcement came at a fan-club event on August 17 at Zojoji Temple in Tokyo, where the five members performed and learned of the debut for the first time.
The announcement came during what fans were told would be a music video recording session. After performing "KITERETSU FIRE," the venue went dark and a projection mapping video on the temple traced the group's history before revealing the debut news.
The members, who had not been told in advance, reacted with tears and gratitude. They then gave the first live performance of "KEY 2 LIGHT," the theme song for TV Tokyo's table tennis coverage, with the group serving as special supporters for the programming.
KEY TO LIT was formed in February 2025. The five members are Taisho Iwasaki, Mizuki Inoue, Reia Nakamura, Soya Igari, and Taiko Sasaki. Their current arena tour runs through October across five cities.
