9th single

On sale April 15, 2026

In December 2025, they held the MUSHUP LIVE "TWO THRONE" with OWV at Yokohama BUNTAI, and released their 8th single "Starlight Rendezvous", followed by a flurry of releases.
This album is a complete departure from the light and danceable brass sound of their previous work, establishing a new style that OCTPATH will show off based on hip-hop.
The powerful and positive message remains as strong as ever, and the skillful rap and vocals and flawless performance that only OCTPATH can provide are still present in this album!
With the project "Go To 5th Anniversary" in the works to celebrate their 5th anniversary, the eight members are serious about seizing the best scenery, and just as the title "Steppin'!!!" suggests, this album is filled with their determination to aim for the next level.
