"Yukiakari" serves as the finale to &TEAM's seasonal series, symbolizing a new beginning and the bonds of hope expressed through winter. The album encapsulates their year's journey with four new tracks, including the title song "Yukiakari,""Dear Hunter,""Illumination," and "Crescent Moon's Wish." It also features Korean versions of "Yukiakari" and "Dear Hunter."
