SEOUL, Sept. 17 (Yonhap) -- K-pop boy group ATEEZ released its second full-length Japanese album, “Ashes to Light,” on Wednesday, its agency KQ Entertainment said.

This marks the group’s first Japanese studio album in about four years and six months since its first in March 2021.

The new album features nine tracks, including the lead single “Ash,” as well as “12 Midnight,” “Tippy Toes” and “FACE.”

“Ash” is a song that combines dynamic beats with vocals and flashy rap, carrying the message of “new hope out of hardship.”

ATEEZ will continue its world tour with concerts in Nagoya, Japan, on Sept. 20-21 and in Kobe on Oct. 22-23.
