Punk idol seven-piece ASP clinched the top spot on the Oricon Daily Single Ranking with their 3rd major single, ‘Heaven’s Seven’, released on January 17th.
The 2-track single coincided with ‘ASP and ROGUES presents BEGiNNiNG of MARCH to BUDOKAN’, a special talk and live event at Tokyo Tower’s Club333. During the event, WACK founder Junnosuke Watanabe shared the news with the “rogues” (ASP fans) in attendance. ASP expressed their determination for 2024, culminating in a one-man live show at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan on October 8th, titled ‘We are in BUDOKAN “The floor is all ours!!”’.
The single features a production collaboration with Sam Matlock of the UK-based nu-metallers WARGASM. ASP also shared the stage with the duo during their sets at Tokyo’s Shibuya duo MUSIC EXCHANGE on January 15th and 16th.

A video of their Tokyo Tower event is now on the official ASP YouTube Channel. The video includes snippets of their live performance and interviews with the group, fans, and WARGASM’s Sam Matlock.
In another milestone, ASP sealed a deal with London-based record label JPU Records. The label, known for promoting Japanese music globally, warmly welcomed ASP to their family via social media, stating, “We welcome Tokyo troublemakers ASP to the JPU family!”
ASP is set to return to London on March 27th for the second instalment of ‘WACK in the UK’. Following the success of the inaugural event on November 16th, 2023, ASP will grace the stage at The Underworld in Camden once again alongside label mates GANG PARADE and KiSS KiSS.
