SB19 Is First Filipino Act to Perform on The First Take
The P-pop sensation delivered an outstanding performance of their hit song 'Gento'.
Known for their musical prowess and undeniably catchy songs, Filipino boy band SB19 makes their debut on the Japanese YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE. The channel invites singers and artists for a one-take-only performance with notable appearances by Harry Styles, BTS’ V, and Avril Lavigne.
SB19 makes an incredible feat as the first Southeast Asian group and the first Filipino to appear on the channel, delivering an exclusive special performance of the group’s song Gento, which has grown in popularity due to its addictive chorus and hypnotic dance moves, even debuting at #8 on the Billboard World Digital Sales Charts.

Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin looked vibrant and confident during their performance, dressed in shades of green and blue. “It was a true first take, so we were very nervous and overwhelmed, but it was fun and an amazing experience,” the group shares.
The group made history as the first Southeast Asian and Filipino act to be nominated for the Billboard Music Awards and to make an entry into the international Billboard Social 50 and Next Big Sound Charts. They were also recognized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts as the Philippines' Youth Ambassadors.
