🎶 IVE Returns to Japan with 'Be Alright'
K-pop sensation IVE is back in Japan with fresh music. On July 30, the group dropped their 3rd Japanese album 'Be Alright' across major music platforms. This marks their first Japanese comeback in 11 months, following 2023's ALIVE.
📀 6 Songs with a Bold Message
The album features six tracks, including the title song Be Alright and Dare Me, the OST for NTV drama Dame Mane! - Unpopular Talent, Will Be Managed!.
Fan-favorite hits from IVE's Korean discography also made the cut—Japanese versions of Accendio, Blue Heart, and WOW (from their 2nd full album) were reimagined for local fans.
🎧 Title Track: Be Alright
Be Alright blends upbeat instrumentals with empowering vocals, conveying a message of embracing change and forging ahead without fear.
🌏 IVE's Rising Power in Japan
Since their official Japanese debut in October 2022 with ELEVEN, IVE has seen a meteoric rise. The debut single earned a Gold Disc certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
In just one month, they landed on the prestigious NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and last year, they made history by performing at the Tokyo Dome during their world tour.
This year, IVE continued their Japanese expansion with fan concerts in four cities, drawing over 100,000 attendees. Next up? A debut performance at Rock in Japan Festival 2025 this September, following their unforgettable Summer Sonic stage last year.
⚽ Bonus Appearance: Coupang Play Series
On the same day as the album release, IVE will appear at the 2025 Coupang Play Series in Suwon, performing at halftime and participating in the ceremonial kickoff.
