Yuta Reelase Japanese debut album Depth

NCT member Yuta has released his Japanese solo debut album Depth, and all tracks are now available.

On October 3 at 6 PM, the full album, along with the music video for the title track "Off The Mask," was released on global music platforms. Depth consists of seven rock-style tracks that showcase Yuta's unique personality. The title track, "Off The Mask," features striking guitar riffs, Yuta's powerful shouting, and a tense string arrangement in the latter half, creating a rich, rock-based sound. The lyrics carry an empowering message about challenging yourself, revealing your true self, and not hesitating to pursue your desires.

The album also includes tracks such as "LAST SONG," which highlights Yuta's emotional vocals with a beautiful piano melody and a message of moving forward from the past; "Save You," with its anguished guitar sounds and intense vocals, urging listeners to break free from restraints; and "BAD EUPHORIA," which features an addictive guitar riff and a lively chorus melody.

Other notable tracks include "PRISONER," which conveys the theme of overcoming distorted love by believing in oneself, "Goodbye," which sings of the bittersweet emotions of love and farewell, and "Butterfly," a rock arrangement of Yuta’s solo track from NCT 127's second tour, which encourages flying toward one's desired world.

In addition, Yuta kicked off his "YUTA Solo Debut Showcase TourHOPE" in Japan, starting in Fukuoka on October 5–6, followed by performances in Hyogo (October 9–10), Aichi (October 13), Tokyo (October 17–18), and Osaka (October 26–27), for a total of nine shows across five cities. All tickets sold out before the tour even began, showcasing Yuta’s immense popularity in Japan.

Yuta's first solo album Depth will also be released in physical format on November 13.
