Stray Kids are set to make their return to the Japanese music scene with the release of the third Japanese mini album, ‘Hollow,’ on June 18, 2025. The announcement has stirred excitement among fans worldwide.
Stray Kids ‘Hollow’ tracklist, self-produced songs, and production details
On April 25, Stray Kids unveiled the full tracklist for ‘Hollow,’ confirming a total of six tracks. The mini album features the title track “Hollow,” alongside “Parade,” “Never Alone,” “just a little,” and “宿命”, as well as an instrumental version of “Hollow.”
What makes this album particularly significant is that all the tracks are original Japanese compositions, marking the first time since their Japanese debut that Stray Kids have created a fully self-produced local album. Members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, who form the group’s renowned production unit 3RACHA, participated equally in the songwriting and production process.
New group image amplifies anticipation
Alongside the tracklist, Stray Kids also released new group jacket images. The photo features members Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N radiating charisma and intensity. The setting—characterized by vines, grass, scattered fragments, and chandeliers contrasted against warm lighting—evokes a sense of mystery.
First Japanese mini album in three years
‘Hollow’ marks Stray Kids’ first Japanese mini album in approximately three years since the release of ‘CIRCUS’ in June 2022. It is also their first local release since celebrating the fifth anniversary of their official Japanese debut on March 18. Throughout their career in Japan, Stray Kids have consistently achieved remarkable success, topping charts like Oricon, Billboard Japan, and Tower Records.
Upcoming stadium concerts in Japan
Ahead of their comeback, Stray Kids will perform four solo concerts as part of their ongoing ‘Stray Kids World Tour’. The concerts are scheduled to take place at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa on May 10–11 and May 17–18. Following their previous dome concerts at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka, which attracted approximately 315,000 attendees, these upcoming performances will mark Stray Kids’ first stadium concerts in Japan.
As for the upcoming release, fans can look forward to Stray Kids’ Japan 3rd mini album ‘Hollow’ on June 18.
