T-Pablow announced the postponement of his first solo album on June 30, the day it was originally scheduled for release. In a statement on X, he said the album itself is almost complete but that the project he envisioned beyond it grew larger than expected, and he could not prepare the framework in time. He called the postponement a decision to push forward seriously toward the future, not a delay limited to this album.
The album was T-Pablow's first solo work since BAD HOP, the Kawasaki-based hip-hop crew he fronted, disbanded after their Tokyo Dome finale on February 19, 2024. He had not released any solo music since, though he made guest appearances on other artists' tracks. The album's existence was revealed in 2025, and in January 2026 he held a preview listening event at Nippon Budokan titled "ON THE ROAD."
T-Pablow apologized directly to fans who were waiting, saying the delay is entirely his responsibility. He added that he needs a team to fight alongside him again to realize the vision ahead, and appealed for collaborators to complete the album and build the T-Pablow project beyond it together for the long term.
