BEAST To Release A New Song Every Month For The Next 10 Months, Starting Tomorrow With 'One'

On Tuesday, K-pop boy band BEAST revealed plans release a new song each month for the next 10 months, starting on Wednesday, with the song "One."

The releases, which will be available to purchase on iTunes, are reportedly to celebrate the formation of the group's own Japanese record label.

“BEAST Music will be their own label in Japan and will be the first K-pop artist to do so,” read a statement from Cube Entertainment posted on Naver on Tuesday.

“They plan on being more active in Japan after launching their label.”

According to BEAST vocalist Yoon Doo Joon, with the new label, the band hopes to be more active in the neighboring nation.

"Since BEAST debuted in Korea, it has been 5 years. Since our debut in Japan, 4 years have passed so quickly," Yoon explained at a press conference at ELE TOKYO in Japan on March 16. "This time, after thinking how we can get closer to fans, we have established our own label. Starting this month, one song by another, we want to release songs as gifts to fans."

"It's not easy, but since establishing BEAST MUSIC, we hope to draw closer to Japanese fans through this opportunity," he added.

"Because it's our own label, we have the chance to sing songs from many genres," said member Dong Woon at the press conference.

Yoseop also showed off his newly improved Japanese language skills, and said, "I'm studying Japanese diligently" in preparation for the group's upcoming Japan projects. 

BEAST member Gi-kwang also expressed his expectation that "there will be more opportunities to meet Japanese fans this year than last year" and Hyun Seung concluded, "please expect a lot and show interest in our music to be released in 2015."

BEAST's Japanese single, “Kimi Wa Do?” toppped the Oricon Daily Single pop chart, when it was released in November.

BEAST debuted in Korea in 2009. The group celebrated the five-year anniversary of their Japanese debut on Monday.
