NiziU's 3rd album "New Emotion" has been decided to be released on November 19, 2025 (Wednesday). This work is a full album, about 2 years and 4 months since the release of the 2nd album "COCONUT" in 2023. It is a work that depicts a new story with emotions that only NiziU can express. The included songs feature the lead track "♡Emotion" (read: Love Emotion), which depicts modern love patterns that blend into daily life through social media, and the Japanese lyrics version of the song "What if" from the Korean 2nd single "LOVE LINE," released in March this year. Information about the included songs will be announced sequentially. Furthermore, it has also been decided that "What if -Japanese ver.-" will be pre-released on September 6, 2025 (Saturday) at 0:00. I hope you enjoy the surprise performance of "What if -Japanese ver.-" that was unveiled at the "SUMMER SONIC 2025," one of Japan's largest music festivals held in Tokyo and Osaka in August. Additionally, the first nationwide hall tour will start from the Fuchu no Mori Art Theater Dream Hall in Tokyo on September 6 (Saturday). Attention is gathering for this tour, which has the "most performances in NiziU's history," as all venues sold out simultaneously with the general ticket sales. Release information "New Emotion" will be released on November 19, 2025 (Wednesday). Pre-orders can be made here.
