Chaotic Wonderland is the first Japanese-language extended play by South Korean boy band Tomorrow X Together . It was released by Big Hit Music and Universal Music Japan on November 10, 2021.[ 4] Thematically, it follows their previous album The Chaos Chapter: Freeze , released in May 2021.[ 5] The EP contains two Japanese versions of previous Korean releases, their first English single "Magic", and an original Japanese song "Ito".
Tomorrow X Togetger began 2021 by releasing their first Japanese studio album Still Dreaming on January 20, marking an end to The Dream Chapter series.[ 6] Later, in May 2021 they began The Chaos Chapter with the release of their second Korean studio album named The Chaos Chapter: Freeze and its repackage album The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape on May 31 and August 17 respectively.[ 7] [ 8] On September 6, 2021, Big Hit Music announced that the band would be releasing their first Japanese extended play on November 10, 2021.[ 9] Originally, the Japanese featuring artist for "0x1=Lovesong" was undisclosed. Beginning October 22, Universal Music Japan teased the reveal with a set of clues via Twitter .[ 10] The artist was revealed five days later as Ikuta Lilas, also known as Ikura, the main vocalist for Japanese musical duo Yoasobi .[ 11]
On September 20, the also-undisclosed Japanese original song was revealed to be "Ito", written by Japanese pop-rap male vocal quartet Greeeen .[ 12] The song revolves around the themes of attachment, like two people who are each one half of a thread meeting to make one thread. It comes from the feelings you get from forming a deep relationship with someone.[ 13] Ito is also featured as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo 's television drama, Spiral Labyrinth – DNA Forensic Investigation (らせんの迷宮~DNA科学捜査 , Rasen no Meikyū – DNA Kagaku Sōsa ) which began airing on October 15, 2021.[ 12]
The band's modified logo used for promotional activities
In September, it was announced that Tomorrow X Together would appear in the December 2021 edition of Numéro Tokyo , slated for release on October 28.[ 14] On October 26, two days prior to the release, the front covers were revealed with a snippet about their interview.[ 15] The band also appeared on the front cover of "ar"'s December 2021 issue, released on November 12. This was be the first time that a male overseas artist was featured on the front cover.[ 16]
On November 3, 2021, following the TV-sized release for Spiral Labyrinth , "Ito" was pre-released as a digital single available on streaming platforms worldwide.[ 17]
