This is an expanded release of their record-breaking album making its debut last year at #9 on the Billboard 200. It marked the band’s first-ever U.S. Top 10 album and the first time in history that an all-Japanese fronted group has made this list. The project amassed over 200 million global streams and sold 36,000 equivalent album units in its first week. The new edition features three live performances and two remixes of “from me to u (feat. Poppy),” including the new versions by Major Lazer and Jordan Fish.
This week, the group kicked off their 2026 World Tour spanning North America and Latin America to celebrate the historic record. Supporting them on their North American tour dates will be Halestorm and Violent Vira.
