Japan’s breakout music phenomenon, Number_i—featuring Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi—just turned up the volume with the deluxe edition of their debut album, No.I. Released on December 2, the expanded version now boasts 15 tracks, including the electrifying new single, “HIRAKEGOMA”.

What’s in store? Imagine heavy beats meeting catchy pop vibes in a track that screams boldness. Translating to “open the door,” HIRAKEGOMA is a sonic invitation to a thrilling new chapter in Number_i’s journey. This deluxe album showcases their genre-hopping versatility, spanning 90s alt-rock, R&B, hip-hop, and UK-inspired indie rock—all seamlessly performed in Japanese with splashes of English.

No.I Deluxe opens with “INZM”, a track that dominated Billboard Japan’s Hot 100 at #1. Produced by Jinguji, it’s a fiery fusion of intense vocals, ripping guitar riffs, and unstoppable beats. As Ones to Watch put it, “Get ready to be obsessed!” With over 50 million YouTube views, its action-packed video proves that Number_i is here to claim the global stage.

From sultry R&B to high-energy bangers, No.I Deluxe is full of surprises:

  • “ICE”: A hypnotic R&B masterpiece blending cool beats with steamy, evocative lyrics.
  • “GOAT”: The fan-favorite J-pop anthem that topped charts after their US debut at Coachella.
  • “BON”: A Sho Hirano-produced hit with over 53 million YouTube views, showcasing their flair for crafting viral sensations.
  • “iLY”: A heartfelt ballad mixing love, longing, and hip-hop undertones.

Closing out the album is “Streetlights,” a groovy dance track that merges EDM, pop, and 90s R&B. It’s the perfect finale for a collection that refuses to be boxed into one genre.

Number_i isn’t just ruling the charts—they’re dominating Japan’s fashion and lifestyle scene, too. From Vogue Japan and GQ Japan to Highsnobiety Japan, these three have become style icons while staying grounded in their passion for pushing boundaries.

For anyone who craves music that surprises and excites, Number_i delivers. Whether you’re into hip-hop, indie rock, or heartfelt ballads, this album feels like a playlist tailor-made for music lovers who don’t settle for ordinary.
