The seven-member idol group fav me released their digital single, SMILE GEMS, on September 17.

This song, along with new costumes, was unveiled as a surprise on the first day of the group’s 5-city national tour, ‘National Favo Tour 2026,’ which began on September 15. The track is a positive, self-affirming song that celebrates how everyone can refine their true selves and shine like a gem. The song also features the new tour’s theme, “From a rough stone to a gem,” which depicts fav me’s journey, from their formation to the present. With a shiny pop sound and uplifting lyrics, this song gently encourages listeners to keep moving forward.

Following the conclusion of the two-day Hokkaido leg of the tour, fav me will perform in Fukuoka on October 15, Aichi on November 4, Osaka on December 8, and Tokyo on December 25.
