'New World' means a new world, and for me, it was a very enjoyable project to encounter this new world of PRODUCE 101 JAPAN. The song invites fans on the journey as the trainees step towards their dream new world, and I am very happy to have participated in their first performance as they take steps towards their dreams. I can't wait to see how the 101 trainees completed this stage. As one of the SEKAI producers, I wholeheartedly support them.' ◆KAITA's Comment: 'I am very happy to have co-created with Kirsten Dodgen for the first time. We exchanged videos and shared ideas to create the chorus part together. This time, we proceeded with production while being conscious of new nuances that have not been seen in previous seasons within the theme of 'New World.' Throughout the song, we infused strong feelings of each trainee cherishing their individuality while finding their own 'new world' together with their friends, bravely advancing on an endless path without a goal. In particular, the 'KARATE DANCE' in the chorus, which expresses the brave advance into the new world, symbolizes this song. Please witness the moment when each trainee's new world begins. ■Distribution Information 'PRODUCE 101 JAPAN New World' will start streaming on Lemino from March 26, 2026 (Thursday) at 21:00.
