Stray Kids THE SOUND Limited Edition Type A & Type B Japanese Album

STAY, this is not a simple “pick a cover” decision. Stray Kids - THE SOUND [Limited Edition] Japanese gives you two collector routes: Type A for the Blu-ray-and-big-photobook crowd, or Type B for the handwritten-message ZINE crowd. Both versions include the full Japanese album CD and 2 random official photocards from a 16-card member pool. The binder math is already looking at you.

Type A is the visual-content powerhouse. It includes a 60-page Type A photobook, Blu-ray, two random Type A photocards out of 16, one random photo sticker out of 8, a connected original photo card sheet featuring all eight members, and a large group folded poster. The Blu-ray is loaded with jacket-shooting footage, THE SOUND recording footage, SKZ MUSEUM, plus “CIRCUS” and “Your Eyes” music videos with their making films. This is the “I only wanted the album, but now I have a full Stray Kids screening scheduled” version.

Type B is the handwritten-note collector version. It includes a 32-page Type B photobook, two random Type B photocards out of 16, and a 28-page Special ZINE with handwritten member messages. No Blu-ray, but a lot more “put this in a magazine sleeve and stare at it respectfully” energy.

Stray Kids / 스트레이 키즈 is the eight-member group under JYP Entertainment: Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. The group debuted in March 2018 with I am NOT, while their Japanese releases are issued through Epic Records Japan / Sony Music Labels. Their official fandom name is STAY.

THE SOUND is Stray Kids’ first Japanese full album, released on February 22, 2023. The 10-track album pairs Japanese originals such as “THE SOUND,” “Battle Ground,” “Lost Me,” “DLMLU,” “Novel,” and “There” with Japanese versions of “CASE 143,” “CHILL,” and “Thunderous,” plus “Scars.” Its concept is Stray Kids turning their own sound into the main character: loud, self-defined, performance-first, and impossible to ignore. Their later Billboard 200 streak includes seven consecutive No. 1 debuts by 2025, starting with ODDINARY.

Release Date: February 22, 2023
