Boy band Tomorrow X Together dropped its second Japanese full-length album "Sweet" on Wednesday and started its promotional activities in Japan, its agency BigHit Music said Wednesday.

The album features a total of 12 tracks, including those from Tomorrow X Together's first Japanese EP "Chaotic Wonderland" (2021) and its third Japanese single "Good Boy Gone Bad" (2022), as well as new songs "Intro : Floating," "Hydrangea Love," "Sugar Rush Ride [Japanese Ver.]," "Ring (Unplugged Ver.)" and "Outro : Falling."

Lead track "Sugar Rush Ride [Japanese Ver.]" is the Japanese-lyric version of Tomorrow X Together's latest Korean lead track from its fifth EP "The Name Chapter: Temptation" released in January.

Ballad number "Hydrangea Love" was written by Japanese singer-songwriter Yuuri and will be used as the theme song of Nippon TV's drama series "The Best Student: Last Dance with 1 Year to Live."

Tomorrow X Together debuted in Japan in January 2020, less than a year after debuting in Korea with five members — Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai. Its third Japanese single "Good Boy Gone Bad" was the only Japanese release to make it on the Billboard 200, apart from those by BTS. It also topped the Oricon weekly albums chart with seven releases in a row.

Tomorrow X Together will also make a number of appearances on Japanese television shows such as Fuji Television's "Mezamashi TV" and "FNS Music Festival Summer" and TV Asahi's "Music Station."
