&TEAM held their first arena tour '2024 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR 'SECOND TO NONE'' on September 28 (Saturday) at Port Messe Nagoya, where they made a surprise announcement of releasing a digital single 'Jyuugoya' on October 23 (Wednesday) and their 2nd album 'Yukiakari' on December 18 (Wednesday). During the performance, responding to a passionate encore, leader EJ declared, 'Today we have a major announcement! Please look at the monitor!' As the logo for the 2nd album 'Yukiakari' was displayed, the fans erupted in cheers and surprise, filling the venue with excitement. EJ continued, 'This album is meant to be bright and warm for LUNÉ (the fans) during winter. We have prepared a lot as a culmination of this year, so please look forward to it.' Sub-leader FUMA added, 'Some LUNÉ might be thinking, 'Winter? Huh?' But!' further raising the audience's expectations, and the logo for the digital single 'Jyuugoya' appeared on the monitor. Fans rejoiced at the additional surprise, and they promised to spend the remaining seasons together with &TEAM, saying, 'Please look forward to both the autumn digital single and the winter 2nd album!' The bond between &TEAM and LUNÉ, deepened through spring and summer, is expected to become even stronger and warmer through these two works in autumn and winter. Details and pre-orders for the digital single and 2nd album will start on September 30 (Monday) at 11:00. Additionally, right after the performance at 21:00, a Logo Motion was released on &TEAM's official SNS, raising anticipation for the works. The released Logo Motion is a video that conveys the new story of &TEAM told through the four seasons, evoking expectations for the future. The four card designs that were icons for each work emerge against the backdrop of the passing story, depicting the boys' struggles and unity in spring, unyielding spirit and youthful vigor in summer, the shining full moon in autumn, and arriving at the winter home where snowflakes dance after passing through a long tunnel along the railway. In 2024, anticipation grows for how the story of the boys that &TEAM has woven will continue. Furthermore, to commemorate the announcement of the digital single 'Jyuugoya' and the 2nd album 'Yukiakari,' the MIRAI TOWER, located close to Port Messe Nagoya, where the final performance of the first arena tour, filled with the strong feeling of 'not losing to anyone,' will be held, will be illuminated in colors inspired by the works for two days only on September 28 and 29.
