KPOP DISCOVER's &TEAM note
The axis of &TEAM is a wolf story, carried through Japanese-language releases into video and dance routes that travel well. After the audition programme &AUDITION - The Howling -, the nine-piece debuted from YX LABELS, part of the HYBE LABELS JAPAN family, with Under the skin on December 7, 2022.
Across the First Howling trilogy, Under the skin, FIREWORK and War Cry move from boyishness to an instinctive strength, while Samidare, Aoarashi and Yukiakari widen the seasonal feeling of the Japanese releases. Watching the Official MV, the Dance Practice, the Performance MV and THE FIRST TAKE separately lets you switch between the lore, the choreography, the expressions and the singing.
Go in Blind and Back to Life strengthened the Korean-language side in 2025, and first places on the music shows came with them. Under the skin, then FIREWORK, then War Cry runs from the starting point through the feeling of youth to instinctive strength.
Editors' take Under the skin / FIREWORK / War Cry — a wolf story and a Japanese-language route out to the world, in three songs from a YX LABELS nine-piece.
Trivia worth knowing
Name
The ampersand in &TEAM works as a mark tying members, fans and story together, which suits a nine-strong multinational line-up.
Fandom
LUNÉ carries a strong moon image, and against the wolf lore it makes the bond between group and fans easy to picture.
Composition
EJ is usually introduced as leader and FUMA as sub-leader, so following the members by age and by role at once keeps things tidy.
Releases
Putting Under the skin, FIREWORK and War Cry at the centre of the First Howling trilogy shows the shift from boyishness to instinctive strength.
Japan route
Samidare, Aoarashi and Yukiakari carry a strong seasonal feel, a separate door from the Korean-language Back to Life.
Video
The temperature of the imagery changes between Back to Life and the Japanese work, so one choreography reads very differently in a clip and on THE FIRST TAKE.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 10/ 241 groups
No. 10 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 4%)
- 12Japanese releases
- 29Japan-related tracks
- 7Members from Japan
- 3Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
