After three incredibly successful singles and an EP, Travis Japan, the tigers of J POP, have finally announced their debut album Road to A!
“The A stands for authenticity, and artistry,” a source close to the group states. “They want to show the world that they are not just an idol group, but artists ready to take the wheel of their own career. This is just the starting point.”
