will hyde × LUCKY TAPES to Perform Live Together for the First Time at Shibuya WWW X on Nov 9
Following Their Collaboration on "by my side.", the Two Acts Hold Two-Man Live Show at "KrosSphere"
Press releases
As the second installment of "KrosSphere," a live event series connecting artists from Japan and abroad, a co-headlining concert featuring Australian singer-songwriter will hyde and LUCKY TAPES (the solo project of Kai Takahashi) will take place at Shibuya WWW X on Monday, November 9, 2026.
The two acts previously collaborated on the track "by my side.", included in will hyde's EP "when u look into my eyes." released in May 2026. Following this musical partnership, they will now share a live stage for the very first time.
will hyde is an Australian singer-songwriter known for his soft vocals and dreamy soundscapes. After Bang Chan of Stray Kids introduced will hyde's song "misfit.", he garnered significant attention in South Korea. In recent years, he has actively expanded his footprint across Asia through collaborations with artists from South Korea, Thailand, and other Asian markets.
Meanwhile, LUCKY TAPES has earned strong support for their sophisticated sound rooted in soul music. In addition to performing at major festivals across Japan, they have built a growing domestic and international fanbase through repeated live performances throughout Asia, including Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
While coming from different musical backgrounds, both artists share a mellow, refined musical identity as well as a common path of expanding their activities into Asia. Please stay tuned to see what dynamic synergy will emerge on stage as they transition from recording together to performing live.

Honestly, this event will be one of the highlights of the year for me! I had visited Tokyo for two nights last year and had the best time… I can’t wait to come and perform in Japan for the first time EVER!
I first heard about Lucky Tapes through my friends in Thailand, they really like his music and thought I’d like it too. When I listened to it, I thought it’d be a really good fit for a future collaboration - so we went back and forth to find the right timing/song.
Being able to release the collaboration together and then perform it at the same show feels really special and like it was meant to happen exactly that way!
Performing with Lucky Tapes will also be our first time meeting, so I look forward to finally meeting and performing the song together for the first time too.

"We’re excited to announce that we’ll be performing at "KrosSphere" on November 9 at Shibuya WWW X!
This will be a two-man show with will hyde, who we collaborated with on "by my side." …To be honest, we haven’t met him in person yet, but in addition to his pop and captivating musical style, he gives us the impression of someone who naturally pulls people in with his energy, so we’re really looking forward to meeting him!
LUCKY TAPES will also be releasing our first full album in four years on September 2. Along with performing "by my side.", we plan to showcase new songs from our new album as well! We can’t wait to see you all at the venue on November 9!"
