Boy band Seventeen released its first Japanese EP today. Titled “Dream,” the EP consists of four songs — its title track “Dream” as well as “Rock With You,” “All My Love” and “Darl+ing.”

“Rock With You” is the title track of the band's ninth EP, while “All My Love” is the Japanese version of the song on its special album. “Darl+ing” is a holiday version of the same song in the band's fourth full-length album. “Dream,” however, has been created especially for Japan to mark the band's first concert series in Japan.

The EP comes ahead of the band's much anticipated Dome Tour that kicks off in November.

Seventeen will hold a two-day concert at Kyocera Dome in Osaka on Nov. 19 and 20. The boy band will then travel to Tokyo to perform at the Tokyo Dome from Nov. 26 to 27. They will wrap up the tour at the Vantelin Dome in Nagoya with concerts on Dec. 3 and 4.

Meanwhile, Seventeen took home its first award at the VMAs last month, winning Push Performance of the Year with its song “Rock With You” (2021) from its ninth EP “Attacca.” Seventeen was unable to attend the ceremony in person due to conflicting schedules.

Seventeen debuted in 2015 and consists of 13 members: S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, Vernon, Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, DK, Seungkwan, Hoshi, Jun, The8 and Dino. It has released songs such as “Adore U” (2015), “Don’t Wanna Cry” (2017), “Ready to Love” and “Hot.”
