Notes & FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is DKB's fan club name?
A: The fan club name is 'Hello'. The concept is the 'first greeting' with DKB members. The rollout of the fan club for Japan may happen simultaneously with the announcement of DKB's Japan fan concert in 2026.

A: BRANDNEW MUSIC tends to announce concert specifics just before they become highly probable, as they gradually increase promotional budgets for newer groups. The current data is considered to be 'planning stage' information.
Q3: Is a Japan show likely?
