Details

On October 16, 2026, GLAY's official website and TV Asahi's 「ミュージックステーション」 official X account announced that GLAY will appear on the 「ミュージックステーション40周年2時間SP」 airing Friday, October 23 at 8:00 PM. Other performers on the show include Hiromi Go, Sugashikao, Shonan no Kaze, aiko, adieu, Toma Ikuta, Aぇ! group, INI, KEY TO LIT, and Travis Japan.

GLAY will perform live from SGCホール有明 in Tokyo, delivering their 1998 hit song 「誘惑」 along with their latest single 「汚れた英雄」, released on September 23, 2026.

Connections to GLAY's Journey

「誘惑」 is GLAY's 13th single, released on April 29, 1998, with lyrics and composition by TAKURO, standing as one of the band's defining songs. It was also performed when GLAY returned to the 「NHK紅白歌合戦」 after a 25-year absence on December 31, 2024.

「汚れた英雄」, GLAY's 64th single with lyrics and composition by HISASHI, was released just recently on September 23, 2026. Pairing this new track with an older classic reflects a fitting approach for such a milestone year.

GLAY also just released their 18th original album, 「旅する理由を待ちながら」, on October 21—their first in about two years. At the same SGCホール有明 venue where they will appear on the broadcast, a special limited live event titled 「GLAY EXCLUSIVE LIVE 2026 “EXOFIRE” ～THE BEGINNING～」 will be held on October 22 and 23, open to purchasers of the new single and album respectively.
