The seven-member virtual idol group FouRTe Project will release its debut album, "ALL IN," on August 5, 2026. Pre-orders opened on June 25. The album is the first release from JOI MUSIC, a new label established by GENKI Co., Ltd. All 10 tracks on the album are produced by Taku Takahashi of m-flo. The tracklist includes the group's debut song "Kimi ga Kimi de Kimi dakara" and previously unreleased new songs. The regular edition of the CD comes with a random trading card from a set of seven. The first-press limited edition includes a limited acrylic panel and a viewing invitation ticket for a special recorded program scheduled for release in late August. The album precedes the group's first offline live, "FouRTe Project 1st LIVE 'ALL IN'," which will take place on August 14 at Zepp DiverCity in Tokyo. The seven members are Leo Kune, Haruhi Sakuraku, Hazuki Sakuraku, Rami Suio, Ren Mikage, Arte Roberto, and Ken Sho. The group's official fan club, FouRYou, opened on April 1 and offers tiered membership plans.
The album's title track "ALL IN" is described by the group as embodying their "current position" and the determination of members who were "once nobodies" to carve open their destiny. Taku Takahashi of m-flo, who produced all 10 tracks, said in a statement that the album "contains both the time they have built up and the future they will carve out" and that he hopes it "lets you feel the individuality and growth of each of the seven members while also giving listeners a push in the back."
The first-press limited edition costs 8,800 yen and includes a limited acrylic panel and a viewing invitation ticket for a special recorded program scheduled for late August. The regular edition costs 2,750 yen and includes one random trading card from a set of seven, available only with first-press copies. Pre-orders are open at Animate, HMV, Tower Records, Rakuten BOOKS, Neowing, CD Japan, and Seven Net Shopping.
The August 14 live at Zepp DiverCity will include new songs released consecutively in preparation, songs that can only be heard at the performance, and cover performances highlighting each member's individuality. Tickets are available through Lo-tike, Ticket Pia, e-plus, and ticketbook. Doors open at 17:30, show starts at 18:30.
The group's official fan club, FouRYou, offers an annual membership at 5,500 yen with fastest advance lottery ticket reservations, and a monthly membership at 550 yen per month with advance lottery ticket reservations. An early enrollment campaign runs until June 30. The group's executive producers are Hirotaka Mori and Motoyuki Oi of ClaN Entertainment.
