PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SHINSEKAI (the fourth season of the franchise, following JO1 from Season 1, INI from Season 2, and ME:I from THE GIRLS) has just released the performance video for its theme song “新世界 (SHINSEKAI)”!
This dropped on February 19, 2026, right on the official PRODUCE 101 JAPAN YouTube channel. The song serves as the signal/intro track for the 101 male trainees competing to debut in a new global boy group, with voting open to both Japanese “KOKUMIN PRODUCERS” and international “SEKAI PRODUCERS” for the first time in the series.
The track features powerful choreography co-created by world-renowned dancer Kirsten Dodgen of Jam Republic and KAITA, capturing the trainees’ determination to unlock a fresh “new world” together with fans. It’s an energetic, hype-building anthem that sets the tone for the survival show’s start.
