&TEAM topped the Oricon chart simultaneously with the release of their new album. Oricon announced the latest chart on the 18th, with &TEAM’s second full album “Yukiakari” ranking first on the daily album rankings. Following “Samidare” and “Aoa Arashi,” they also conquered the Oricon chart with their winter story, brilliantly decorating the finale of their Four Seasons series.

The new album serves as the finale of &TEAM’s Four Seasons series, expressing the new beginning and hope of a more united group of nine boys in “winter.” It encapsulates the year, featuring four new songs including the title track of the same name, “Dear Hunter,” “Illumination,” and “Crescent Moon’s Wish.” The Korean versions of “Yukiakari” and “Dear Hunter” are also included.

Renowned producers like Vincenzo, Bang Si-hyuk, Soma Genda, Sirkut, and Nock collaborated on this project. The title track refers to the phenomenon where the surroundings appear bright due to light reflected off the snow, depicting the ambitions of boys embarking on a new beginning. The emotional guitar riff and dynamic melody line create a striking impression.

The music video captures the strengthened bond of &TEAM, completing a passionate group dance scene on the snowy field. Meanwhile, &TEAM will hold a showcase for their new album release in Tokyo, Japan, on the 19th and continue their active promotions.
