Overview
T.N.T is a Japanese rock band whose commercial profile sits at the meeting point of music and esports. It was formed in 2025 by vocalist Yuya Tegoshi, bassist Furutatsu and drummer kyohey after a 2024 studio session, made its first appearance at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama in April 2025, and became a four-piece when guitarist Ryu. formally joined on 23 December 2025.[1]
The band’s esports link is a tournament-supplied activation rather than a conventional sponsorship. T.N.T served as the official cheering supporter of VALORANT Challengers Japan 2026. The champion received the right to an original song written by the band’s members, and QTnet later announced the lyrics T.N.T wrote for “TAKE OVER,” the QT DIG∞ theme song released as an advance single on 23 September 2026. The sources do not establish that the band performed the recording or retained ownership of it.[2][3][4]
The practical consequence is that a music act now holds a team-level marketing asset delivered through a competition result. The reviewed sources describe the supporter role and the prize but do not disclose the commercial terms, the recording-rights owner or whether the band is licensed to the team beyond this release, so the durability of the relationship remains unverified.[3]
