K-pop boy band ATEEZ is gearing up to release their second Japanese album, *Ashes to Light*, on October 31st. The album will feature nine tracks, including their previously released Japanese singles “NOT OKAY” and “Birthday,” along with b-sides “Days” and “Forevermore.” Fans can look forward to five new songs: “Ash,” “12 Midnight,” “Tippy Toes,” “FACE,” and “Crescendo.”
The album will be available in a Standard (1CD) version, which comes with a sticker and a randomly enclosed member solo trading card (one of eight types). ATEEZ’s first Japanese album, *Into the A to Z*, was released in March 2021 and reached number six on Japan’s Oricon Albums Chart.
This new release follows ATEEZ’s recent success in the U.S. Their mini album *GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2* hit number one on the Billboard 200 last November, and the follow-up, *GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3*, reached number two this summer. Member Seonghwa shared that their global success has allowed them to explore more diverse music styles. Yeosang added that ATEEZ doesn’t stick to one genre, always looking to showcase different sides of themselves in their music and performances.
Recently, ATEEZ performed with Kylie Minogue on the Apple TV+ show *KPOPPED*, where they reinterpreted her hit “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” with new Korean lyrics and choreography.
