Timelesz teases 'MOMENTUM'

Timelesz is pushing its next album before release day instead of waiting for April 29, and the rollout is already split across teaser clips, short-form videos, and edition-specific music videos. The official site lists MOMENTUM as the group’s second album in its new lineup, with five physical versions and a release date of April 29, 2026. (universal-music.co.jp) The album is built around a simple idea: keep moving faster while treating each moment as important. Universal Music says MOMENTUM was shaped by the group’s first full year with its “new family,” and that concept is baked into the title itself. (universal-music.co.jp) This is not a one-song campaign. The release has 13 main J-pop tracks, plus a second disc on the standard edition with four extra songs, including the group’s first unit-project tracks and an eight-member song called “Akubi.” (universal-music.co.jp) The two lead songs tell you how the album is being positioned. “GOOD TOGETHER” is presented as the track that expresses the album’s forward-moving concept, while “4分間だけ時間をください” is framed as a fast band-style song about gratitude and love toward the people supporting the group.

The official channel lists “GOOD TOGETHER” at more than 3.3 million views about two weeks after upload, and “4分間だけ時間をください” at nearly 900,000 views within days of premiering on April 4. (youtube.com 1) (youtube.com 2) Timelesz is also using scarcity as part of the launch. Full music videos are not all being dropped freely online; the official materials say the complete videos for the lead songs are bundled into Limited Edition A, while the three unit videos are bundled into Limited Edition B. (universal-music.co.jp) (youtube.com) That unit setup matters because it turns one album into several smaller storylines. Universal says the unit songs came out of the member groupings seen in the Netflix series “timelesz project -REAL-,” with each team making music from experiences and encounters on its own journey. (universal-music.co.jp) The release is also tied directly to the group’s schedule after launch. The official site lists “We’re timelesz LIVE TOUR 2026 episode 2 MOMENTUM” beginning on May 16 and running through August 30, which means the album is arriving just over two weeks before the tour starts. (ovtp.jp) So the teaser is doing more than announcing a date. It is the front edge of a tightly staged campaign: two lead songs, three unit videos, five editions, a Netflix-linked backstory, and a tour that starts in mid-May, all aimed at turning April 29 into the handoff from online buzz to ticketed live shows.
