SixTONES 1st album, 1ST

 I was thinking we would be getting another single before an album, but nope, SixTONES will be ringing in the new year with their debut album, aptly named 1ST, coming out on January 6th, 2021. Like their singles it will come in two limited editions and a regular edition with different track listings for each version.

The first limited edition, or the Genseki Ban as it is being called, is the usual CD and DVD combo. The first 10 tracks on the album are the same as all the other editions, which includes the three title tracks from their singles so far. Then there are five more songs, all from their Junior era that are being released on CD for the first time. The songs are,  この星のHIKARI (Kono Hoshi no HIKARI),  BE CRAZY,  Laugh In the LIFE,  Rollin', and RAM-PAM-PAM. The DVD will have the music video for the album track ST, as well as the making of and solo angle versions of the MV.

The other limited edition is called the Neiro Ban and is also a CD and DVD combo. The exclusive songs on this version are three songs of two member units with the six members being paired off into duos. The DVD will have music videos for each unit song.

The regular edition is the usual CD only. It will have three tracks exclusive to it, two new songs and an album remix of the B-Side song Telephone. The first press version of the regular edition will come with a photo booklet and a sleeve for the CD.


Between December and January I am going to have very little extra disposable income outside of getting new releases. Especially releases like this where I plan on getting all the different editions. But I cannot pass up getting a version that has bonus music tracks. Plus there are Junior era tracks, and duets that are getting music videos! Sony Music Japan basically doled out a release that hit all my weaknesses. Thankfully I will have a little extra money coming in so while I cannot buy them all at once I should be able to have them all in only two orders.

That said the only Johnny's group I have to worry about announcing a new release soon will be Kis-My-Ft2, who are due a new single around now so I await that announcement soon.
