Stray Kids Announce New Japanese Album ‘Hollow’
K-pop powerhouse Stray Kids is set to release their highly anticipated third Japanese mini-album, ‘Hollow’, on June 18. This new album will feature five tracks, including the title song ‘Hollow’, ‘Parade’, ‘Never Alone’, ‘just a little’, and ‘宿命’ — all original Japanese compositions that are expected to offer something fresh for fans.
Self-Producing Power: 3RACHA Behind Every Track
Members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — collectively known as 3RACHA — participated in producing every song on the album, reaffirming Stray Kids’ reputation as a ‘self-producing group.’ By tailoring their sound to the Japanese market, the group continues to demonstrate their global musical prowess.
Album Concept Raises Anticipation
In teaser images revealed ahead of the release, the members showcase a stunning charisma that oscillates between warmth and iciness. Contrasting visuals — glowing lights against tangled vines, shattered fragments, and chandeliers — hint at the dramatic stories and soundscape that ‘Hollow’ will deliver.
Celebrating Five Years of Success in Japan
‘Hollow’ marks Stray Kids’ first Japanese mini-album in nearly three years, following ‘CIRCUS’ in 2022. This release also commemorates their fifth anniversary since officially debuting in Japan. Over the years, the group has dominated prestigious charts such as Oricon, Billboard Japan, and Tower Records, showcasing their continued massive popularity.
Massive Stadium Performances on the Horizon
Adding to the excitement, Stray Kids will hold four solo concerts at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa on May 10-11 and May 17-18 as part of their world tour, ‘Stray Kids World Tour <dominATE>.’ The performances mark their first-ever stadium shows in Japan, following a record-breaking tour that drew over 315,000 fans at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka last year.
Stray Kids’ Global Impact Grows Stronger
As they unveil new music and perform at massive venues, Stray Kids are poised to further solidify their status as ‘global stadium artists.’ Fans worldwide eagerly await how the group’s bold and unique musical world will evolve with this new chapter.
