Stray Kids Announces Japanese Mini-Album ‘Hollow’ Featuring 3Racha’s Touch
Stray Kids Gear Up for Japanese Comeback with ‘Hollow’
Global K-pop sensation Stray Kids will release their highly anticipated third Japanese mini-album ‘Hollow’ on June 18. The group unveiled the album’s full tracklist through their official Japanese social media channels on April 25, captivating fans worldwide.
The new album features five tracks: the title song ‘Hollow’, ‘Parade’, ‘Never Alone’, ‘just a little’, and ‘宿命’ (Fate). Notably, this marks the first time Stray Kids have filled an entire Japanese album with original songs, showcasing their deep commitment to their Japanese fan base.
The group’s in-house producing unit 3Racha — comprised of members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han — participated in producing all tracks, including the title song, further solidifying Stray Kids’ reputation as a self-producing group with unique artistry.
Alongside the tracklist reveal, Stray Kids also shared a new group image, displaying a striking contrast of warmth and intensity. With elements like twisted vines, grass, scattered debris, and chandeliers in the imagery, the visual teaser builds anticipation for an album filled with fresh stories and sounds.
A Landmark Achievement for Stray Kids
This mini-album comes nearly three years after their last Japanese mini-album ‘CIRCUS’ and represents Stray Kids’ first release since celebrating their fifth anniversary of their official Japanese debut on March 18. The group has continually topped major charts, including Oricon, Billboard Japan, and Tower Records, demonstrating an unabated rise in popularity.
Before the album release, Stray Kids will hold four solo stadium concerts as part of their ‘Stray Kids World Tour’ at the Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa on May 10–11 and 17–18. Following their successful concerts at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka last year, which attracted over 315,000 fans, Stray Kids are set to deliver a next-level performance as ‘global stadium artists’ in Japan.
