IQ99 Return with Third Mini Album "Wonder Flight"
After a year away from the recording studio, the irrepressibly cheerful IQ99 are back with their third mini album Wonder Flight, and the five-piece collective is ready to take fans on a sonic journey.
Released on May 27, 2026, Wonder Flight arrives as a celebration of the group’s ongoing evolution. IQ99—whose tagline translates to “We have no choice but to live with us!”—has carved out a distinctive niche in the Japanese entertainment world with their high-energy, feel-good aesthetic. The band comprises members Mii Aime, Goma Matsuyama, Zero Tsuyoi, An Nekozu, and Babui Kobayashi, each bringing their own spark to the collective’s chaotic-but-joyful energy.
The five-track mini album operates under the concept of “listening like you’re traveling,” with each song designed to evoke that rush of anticipation and wonder you feel at the start of an adventure. The tracklist reads like a journey unto itself: “Gashin! Tenasukeshon!!”, “Anthurium,” “Poppin’ Darlin’ Chocolate Magic,” “New Century Big Birthday,” and “Future Front Line.”
Wonder Flight is priced at ¥2,000 and was released through Tokuma Japan Communications. The album hit streaming platforms on May 1st ahead of the physical release, so Western fans can already dive in via your preferred subscription service.
For those in Japan, Tower Records locations in Shibuya and Ikebukuro are offering exclusive limited-edition towel gifts with CD purchases while supplies last.
