timelesz Score Their Next Chapter with Heart

There’s a shimmering new chapter unfolding for timelesz. 

After a year of metamorphosis they’re turning the page to a new chapter in a story of evolution, togetherness, and re-imagined roots. It’s a story of change, where courage meets curiosity, and where the group has found new ways of becoming their own entity without letting go of where they began.  

A truth that Shori Sato, Fuma Kikuchi, So Matsushima, Takuto Teranishi, Yoshitaka Hara, Shuto Inomata, Masaki Hashimoto, and Taiki Shinozuka understand deeply — not just as performers, but as eight lives learning to move in harmony.

And now, they celebrate that story by releasing not one but two digital albums.  

FAM, first released on CD in June, soared with early brilliance — more than 600,000 copies in its debut week and a No. 1 place on the Oricon Weekly Ranking. But beyond those bright numbers lies something quieter and more meaningful: a deepening of purpose, a widening of emotional space, an invitation into a broader, living “family.”

In FAM, timelesz treat “family” not as a label but as a pulse—something that breathes between the eight members, between them and their audience, across eras, melodies, and memories. The release includes all 18 tracks over all three physical versions – so that all fans can enjoy the songs that were also born from the timelesz project -AUDITION- (currently streaming on Netflix)

The second release is the all new HANABI 〜 in the late summer night — a mosaic of memory — re-recorded with intention, honoring what was while holding steady in who they are now. Songs like RUN and Gyutto receive eight-member renditions for the first time, marking the group’s evolving formation with tenderness and clarity.

These twin releases arrive as timelesz prepare for their dome tour, We’re timelesz LIVE TOUR 2025–2026 episode 1 FAM, opening this winter. With new members joining, a globally streamed audition documentary introducing their next era, and an ensemble that now feels both freshly formed and firmly connected, timelesz are not just moving forward — they’re moving with sincerity, purpose, and heart.

In this light, FAM and HANABI aren’t merely albums; they’re time-stones — crystalline markers of when timelesz learned how to grow without losing the spark that carried them here. FAM holds the intimate story of becoming; HANABI holds the communal story of belonging. Together, they whisper: change can be home, evolution can be an embrace, memory can be luminous.

And when these tracks find their way to your stream or download queue on November 30, let them remind you: growth is not erasure — it’s a widening of light.

I can’t wait to see all the sparkle and sound this new chapter has in store for timelesz. There will be more from them soon so…

Stay Tuned!
