Background and release

On November 22, 2025, JYP Entertainment announced that MiSaMo would release their first studio album on February 4, 2026. [1] Play concludes the trilogy that began with Masterpiece in July 2023 and continued with Haute Couture in November 2024. Promotional material for the album stated that "Play marks the final act of MiSaMo's artistic triptych — a performative culmination where the artist transcends the artwork itself." [2] The album's cover artwork and track listing were revealed on November 28, 2025. [3] [4] The lead single, "Confetti", was released on January 16, 2026, along with a music video. [5] [6] A highlight medley video previewing some of the album tracks was released on January 26. In this video, MiSaMo perform their solo songs during a fictional audition, with actor Takeru Satoh playing the host. [7] [8]

Songs

The opening track, "Confetti", is an energetic song with a big band and jazz sound. Its lyrics are about "continuing forward even when life doesn't go as planned", calling life an "unscripted improvisation". [9] [5] "Red Diamond" and "Catch My Eye" were first performed during MiSaMo's Haute Couture dome tour in 2024–2025. [3] "Identity" and "Do Not Touch" are the lead singles of the group's first two EPs, Haute Couture and Masterpiece, respectively. [3] The closing track, "Message", is a mid-tempo ballad that was previously featured as the theme song of the film Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey (2025). [10]

Promotion

To promote the album, MiSaMo will hold a special event called "Uni Spring x MiSaMo Special Prom Night" at Universal Studios Japan on February 6, 2026. They plan to perform "Confetti" for the first time at the event. [11] On February 7, Tokyo Tower will be lit in MiSaMo's official colors to commemorate the album's release. [12]
