CNBlue is gearing up to return to Japan. The boy band releases its eighth studio album in the country on Oct. 21 and will embark on a tour the following month, FNC Entertainment announced Wednesday.
The forthcoming LP is titled “Full Circle,” conveying the trio’s renewed commitment to continuing the musical journey, with its eyes set on the future. The album is a 10-track set fronted by “360 Degrees,” co-written by leader Jung Yonghwa. It comes almost a year after its 15th Japan single, “Sintouya,” which topped Oricon’s Daily Single Ranking.
The three-man band will kick off tour, named after the endeavor, with two nights of shows in Tokyo on Nov. 2-3. It is planning to visit Nagoya on Nov. 17-18 and Osaka the following week. Right after the Osaka gig, CNBlue will head to Chiba for a joint performance with Japanese rock band Uverworld.
