xikers is heading to Japanese television for an extended showcase on TV Asahi's music variety program M:ZINE. The 10-member boy group will take over the show for three consecutive Friday episodes starting June 5, with each installment airing at 25:30 (1:30 AM).

M:ZINE invites one artist per month to highlight their unique appeal, and this month's lineup includes Mrs. GREEN APPLE's Akihito Wakai, comedian Hiroshi Yamazoe from Aiseki Start, and TV Asahi announcer Miou Hayashi as editorial team members who will guide the special.

The episodes promise a mix of the show's signature segments, including "Enjoy Dance Battle" and "Chest-Throb One-Liner Championship," alongside exclusive content tailored to xikers. Behind-the-scenes footage from the group's dormitory and lesser-known special talents will be featured—perfect for fans wanting to discover sides of the members they haven't seen before.

For viewers wanting even more, CS Asahi Channel 1 will air an extended 90-minute special edition on June 28. Titled "M:ZINE Complete Version: Highly Capable 10-Member Boy Group xikers' Complete Charm SP," the program includes approximately 40 minutes of unreleased material that didn't make it to the broadcast version, plus post-recording interviews with the group.

The expanded format gives xikers significant screen time in the Japanese market, where the group has been building momentum. Between the regular airings and the special edition, fans will have multiple opportunities to catch the group's appearances.
