TOKYO, JAPAN | April 10, 2026 – Tokyo-based J-Pop group Travis Japan continue their global ascension with the announcement that their Disney+ travel docuseries, Travis Japan: Summer Vacation!! in the USA, is set to release on May 1, 2026.
Filmed over an exciting ten days right after their 2025 U.S. tour, the series follows the seven members as they explore stunning locations including Arches National Park, Durango and Monument Valley. Members Genta Matsuda and Umi (Kaito Nakamura) – who have voiced characters in the Japanese versions of Mufasa: The Lion King and Lilo & Stitch, respectively – had the honor of unveiling the project at Disney+ Originals Preview 2025 in Hong Kong.
“We’re excited to share that “Travis Japan Summer Vacation!! in the USA” will be streaming exclusively on Disney+!
Set in the great outdoors of America, this is a 10-day summer vacation where we show our true, unfiltered selves – so we hope you’re looking forward to it. Visiting places that are part of our roots, this journey became a truly meaningful and turning point for us.
We hope you’ll watch and feel like you’re traveling along with us!” – Travis Japan
In addition, on April 15th, Travis Japan will release their first physical single of the year, “KAGENIMO-HINATANIMO,” which first debuted on music streaming platforms in February. This captivating track serves as the featured song for TV Asahi’s Oshidora Saturday drama Zenbu, Anata no Tame Dakara, starring member Shime. With its cool, fast-paced production and driving beat, the song captures the drama’s emotional complexity while exploring themes of “light and shadow” and the duality within people. It contrasts outward appearances with concealed truths, creating a calm yet self-assured vibe.
Currently, Travis Japan is dazzling fans on their third nationwide arena tour, bringing their dynamic live performances to audiences across Japan in support of their latest album, ’s travelers, released in December 2025. As they continue to captivate hearts both at home and abroad, their momentum shows no signs of slowing, with even more exciting activities planned throughout 2026.

Travis Japan is a dynamic seven-member dance and pop sensation from Tokyo, blending modern, jazz, and hip-hop into electrifying performances. Formed in 2012 with guidance from legendary choreographer Travis Payne (known for his work with Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga), the group has risen to acclaim in Japan and beyond. They’ve headlined their annual Japanesque spectacle TORA JA -NINJAPAN- and sold out three consecutive shows at Yokohama Arena (17,000 capacity) in 2020, followed by a 12-city national tour in 2021. Their precision-driven choreography and infectious pop sound caught global attention with appearances on World of Dance and America’s Got Talent, leading to a 2022 signing with Capitol Records/UMG. Their debut single, “JUST DANCE!”, made history as the first by a Japanese act to crack the Top 5 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart, surpassing 10 million views and signaling their arrival on the world stage. In 2023, their debut album Road To – symbolizing their quest for authenticity – solidified their artistic identity and marked the first of three consecutive No.1 albums on Billboard JAPAN’s “Top Albums Sales,” “Hot Albums,” and “Download Albums” charts. By 2024, singles “T.G.I. Friday Night” and “Sweetest Tune” dominated Billboard Japan’s charts, both hitting No.1 on the Download Songs chart and No.2 on the HOT 100. That same year, they embarked on their “Road to Authenticity” nationwide arena tour and launched a sold-out six-city world tour, cementing their growing international reach. In December 2024, they released their sophomore album VIIsual, featuring their 2024 chart-toppers alongside the bold single “BO$$Y.” Continuing their momentum into 2025, Travis Japan achieved their first physical CD single with “Say I do / Tokyo Crazy Night” in March, which debuted at No.1 on Billboard JAPAN’s “Top Singles Sales” chart. In June 2025, they brought their signature energy to Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch, performing the Japanese version of the film’s end song, “Burning Love.” The summer of 2025 saw the group embark on their second world tour in support of VIIsual, visiting five cities and delivering a special guest performance at World of Dance, further strengthening their global presence. In December 2025, they released their third album, ’s travelers, which debuted at No.1 across Billboard JAPAN’s “Top Albums Sales,” “Hot Albums,” and “Download Albums” charts – marking their third consecutive studio album to achieve this triple No.1 distinction since debut.
