A split tour by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and Northern Irish band Ash, titled "ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION presents “NANO-MUGEN CIRCUIT 2025” ASH×AKG Split Tour," will be held in October.

The following year, in 2005, Ash made their first appearance at NANO-MUGEN FES. 2005, held at Kanagawa・Yokohama Arena, and also performed at the same festival in 2008 and 2011. In 2011, a collaboration also materialized when Kensuke Kita (G, Vo) of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION appeared on stage with Ash, who were serving as the support act for Manic Street Preachers' solo show.
