Hana (stylized in all uppercase) is the debut studio album by Japanese girl group Hana, released digitally on February 23, 2026, and physically on February 25, 2026, via No Label Music and Mastersix Foundation. Announced in December 2025, the album was preceded by the release of seven singles, including their major label single "Rose" and "Cold Night", the image song for the second season of the Japanese animated series Medalist.
Background
South Korean-Japanese rapper and singer Chanmina had an interest in executive producing a girl group. Approaching Japanese rapper Sky-Hi, she developed the concept of a survival show with him to determine members of a new girl group. In November 2023, the two announced auditions for No No Girls, a survival-style audition program that would be broadcast online via YouTube.[1] Finalists would become members of a girl group under Chanmina's record label, No Label Music, while being managed by Sky-Hi's talent agency BMSG. Out of 7,000 applicants, 30 were selected.[1]
The first episode of No No Girls premiered on October 4, 2024. The final round of the audition was held on January 12, 2025, with seven finalists remaining. The seven finalists, Chika, Naoko, Jisoo, Yuri, Momoka, Koharu, and Mahina were selected to be members of a girl group called Hana.[2][3][4] After releasing their pre-debut single "Drop", the group signed with No Label Music following its relaunch under Sony Music Labels.[5]
Release
Hana was released digitally on February 23, 2026, and in physical format on February 25.[6] Two physical variants of the album will be released: a regular and limited edition. Both editions have 11 tracks, including a bonus track remix of "Tiger".[7] The limited edition variant includes a bonus Blu-ray disc, containing various behind the scenes and recording session footage.[8] The limited edition variant also includes a 40-page photo book, catchphrase stickers of each member, and large postcards.[8]
First press editions of the album will include a set of 8 trading cards and a postcard.[9]
