Five-member girl group FAKY have been confirmed to perform at HYPER JAPAN, Britain’s largest Japanese pop-culture event, which will take place online for the first time in the event’s history this summer. The members of FAKY include a variety of nationalities: Akina is half Japanese and American, Taki has roots in the Philippines and France, while Lil’ Fang, Mikako and Hina are all Japanese.
FAKY found success from early in their career: their Candy EP ranked at No.3 in the iTunes general album chart when it was released in 2016, behind Ariana Grande and Radiohead. They have attracted attention at home and overseas as part of a “new wave of J-pop”, and featured in the Top 10 of the Spotify Viral Top 50 in Japan and the United States.
Before the spread of the ongoing pandemic, FAKY performed shows overseas, after being invited to appear at events in Brazil, Spain and Canada.
For their appearance at this summer’s HYPER JAPAN online festival – titled HYPER Show! with FAKY – fans from all over the world will be able to interact with one another over Zoom. Never-before-seen video footage from FAKY’s January 2021 headline concert will be shown, along with a Q&A session with the members of FAKY. The event will begin at 10:00 BST on July 10.
