Arashi’s new album「untitled」to be a fusion of various genres

Arashi will be releasing a new album on Oct 18! Their 16th album 「untitled」 is purposely titled to suggest that it is “unfinished,” thereby sublimating Arashi ’s legacy in their 18th year since debut through their bold challenge to produce this album.

In this latest album, Arashi makes their first attempt to create a “suite.”, an exceptional song created by incorporating the melodies from various genres into a long song of over 10 minutes. When listening to it in its entirety, you can sense Arashi’s past, present and the future.

The album’s lead song “Mikan” epitomizes the album’s title “「untitled」” in every way, it has elements of “Japanese Wa,” “digital,” “classic,” and “hip-hop”… It’s a song that disperses all the themes that Arashi has ever taken on to create a single core out of that chaos. It’s evolved into a musical piece brimming with the sense of speed.

What sort of chemical reaction can we expect from Arashi’s new challenge!? Check out the released details below!
