If you’re into music that blends polished J-pop with bold international flavor, then Sakurazaka46’s latest album Addiction is definitely worth checking out. Released on April 30, this 24-track project is more than just a regular album—it’s a bold step into the global spotlight for one of Japan’s top idol groups.

The album features fan-favorite tracks from their singles “Sakurazuki” (2023) to their latest “UDAGAWA GENERATION,” plus a brand-new song written just for this release—Addiction. But what makes this album stand out isn’t just the powerful vocals or polished choreography Sakurazaka46 is known for—it’s the remix disc featuring six electronic tracks by some of the world’s most exciting DJs.

Among the star-studded remixers is French DJ Naeleck, known for his dark, electronic energy and viral club hits. His take on “I want tomorrow to come” turns the emotional track into a pulsing, high-energy banger ready for late-night dance floors. “I loved the original,” he says, “and instantly got inspired to flip it into a club/festival anthem.”

Joining him are remix talents from across the globe:

  • Ninajirachi (Australia), whose remix of “Shoninyokkyu” brings in shimmering textures and future bass feels.
  • Nurko (USA), turning “Seijyaku no bouryoku” into an emotional dance anthem.
  • Raiden (South Korea), known for his big-stage EDM presence, energizes “Ikutsunokoronimodoritainoka?”
  • Devin (Sweden) and TSAR (China) also contribute fresh spins, showcasing Sakurazaka46’s international appeal.

With these collabs, the group isn’t just sharing their music with the world—they’re reimagining it with the help of DJs who play massive festivals like Lollapalooza, EDC, and more.

If you’re keeping up with their live shows, Sakurazaka46 recently performed in Taipei at the CENTRAL MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT FESTIVAL 2025. Now, they’re about to kick off a 5-city tour back in Japan, with major stops including multiple dates at the legendary Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome in Osaka.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just getting into the J-pop scene, Addiction is packed with emotion, energy, and global vibes. It’s available now on all major platforms—and if you’re into remixes, that second disc is a must-listen.
