• ATEEZ Drops Jacket Image for New Japanese Single and Gears Up for '2024 Summer Sonic'

    ATEEZ is turning up the excitement with the reveal of the jacket image for their upcoming Japanese single, set to be the 4th in their series.

    On August 16, ATEEZ shared the stylish jacket image for their new single "Birthday" on their official SNS.

    The photos show the group looking cool in casual outfits inside a red car, with the eight members striking various poses.

    They also rocked a dandy suit look against a red background covered in confetti, showcasing their charisma.

    This new Japanese single, their first in seven months, includes six tracks: the title song "Birthday," two new songs for their Japanese fans, and instrumental versions of each track. Fans are eagerly awaiting this release, given ATEEZ’s strong reputation for high-quality music in their Japanese albums.

    ATEEZ's 10th mini-album, Golden Hour: Part.1, released in Korea, has already surpassed 100,000 shipments as of July and earned a gold certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

    This marks their third RIAJ certification this year, following gold for their 2nd full album The World Episode Final: Will and platinum for their 3rd Japanese single Not Okay.

    ATEEZ’s popularity in Japan is undeniable, with all tickets for their first fan meeting, "ATINY'S VOYAGE: FROM A TO Z," selling out quickly.

    They will be meeting fans at Tokyo Garden Theater on August 21-22 and Grand Cube Osaka on August 27-28.

    Adding to the excitement, ATEEZ will perform at Japan’s biggest music festival, "2024 Summer Sonic," on August 17-18, showcasing their top performer status on the main stages in Osaka and Tokyo.

    ATEEZ’s 4th Japanese single, "Birthday," will drop on October 2.
