BTS never goes too long without giving fans new music. Weeks after dropping BE (Essential Edition) on Friday, Feb. 19, the group announced they're gearing up to drop another Japanese album. The release will feature Japanese versions of songs fans already know and love, as well as a brand-new single. Just like its title implies, fans have a feeling BTS' The Best Japanese album will be ~the best~ because one look at the details reveals the record will be jam-packed with their greatest hits.
BTS announced the release through their official Japanese fan club on Thursday, March 25 — just one day after appearing on the Korean variety show You Quiz On The Block and breaking the record for its highest-rated episode ever.
Considering ARMYs are always helping the group outdo themselves, The Best is likely to make history as well. The project will be the follow-up to BTS' previous Japanese album, Map of the Soul: The Journey, which they dropped in July 2020. It went No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Top Albums chart, making it the first Japanese album by a Korean act to debut at the top.
ARMYs can rejoice because The Best will include songs from MotS: The Journey, as well as BTS' 2018 Japanese album Face Yourself. The most exciting detail of all, however, is the record features a new song called "Film Out," which also serves as the ending theme in the Japanese movie SIGNAL The Movie Cold Case Investigation Unit.
To make sure you don't miss a single thing about this comeback, here are all of the BTS, The Best album details you need to know.
Fans in Japan can pre-order BTS' new album through their Japan Official Shop, Universal Music Store, and Seven Net starting on Friday, March 26. There hasn't been any information about where ARMYs can purchase the record outside of Japan, but it's likely the group will update everyone on Weverse when the release date gets closer.
BTS announced on Thursday (March 25) via their official Japanese fan club that their next Japanese album is on the way.
The group's new album BTS, The Best will be released on June 16, and a new song, "Film Out," will arrive on April 2.
"Film Out" was written along with J-pop band Back Number, and will appear as the ending theme in the upcoming Japanese movie SIGNAL The Movie Cold Case Investigation Unit, also due on April 2.
