DRIVE is the group’s first Japanese album release in 5 years since their first Japanese studio album Bridge the World dropped in 2015. As the new album contains 14 songs, including an original Japanese song by the same name, it’s no surprise that it’s received a whole lot of love on the charts as well as from fans around the globe.
