NCT WISH will release their Japanese single 'YO-I-DON! / BOY MEETS GIRL' on July 13, 2026. As the youngest unit that has continued its debut activities based in Japan, this single is an extension of their regular Japanese activities, targeting the local fandom. With a double A-side format showcasing two songs with different characteristics at once, you can expect both a bright stage fitting the summer season and a lyrical song. Detailed tracklist, music video, and promotion schedule will be revealed sequentially, so please check official channels for final information.
Two Titles, Different Flavors
- 'YO-I-DON!': The title 'YO-I-DON! (よーいドン)' means a starting signal in Japanese. Judging by the title and concept, it is highly likely to be a bright, fast-paced summer-type song, but it is safer to confirm the exact genre and choreography through the released video.
- 'BOY MEETS GIRL': The mood exuded by the title suggests a lyrical track about first encounters and excitement. It appears to be structured to contrast with 'YO-I-DON!' within the same single.
As the two songs have different characteristics, how the stage direction will diverge in music shows and showcases is a key point to watch.
How to Enjoy It
- On Release Day: First, check out the music video and performance videos released along with the official audio.
- Version Configuration: Japanese singles usually come in multiple versions, such as limited first press editions and regular editions, with different enclosed items. If collecting, compare the version-specific configurations on the official store.
- Stage Comparison: Once the Japanese music program stages are released, compare the production differences between the two titles. It's also fun to compare the setlists, subtitles, and choreography details of Korean and Japanese stages.
