2PM [JYP Entertainment]

Six-member boy band 2PM will release their first full-length Japanese album in November, according to their official Japanese website on Thursday.

Their website revealed that 2PM's studio release titled "REPUBLIC OF 2PM" will become available in stores on November 30 though the tracklist has yet to be unveiled.

"REPUBLIC OF 2PM," composed of a total of 12 tracks, will be produced in three editions and include a DVD featuring a documentary of the group's official debut in Japan as well as a pictorial booklet.

Meanwhile, the boys will release their third Japanese single "Ultra Lover" on November 2 and visit the country to promote it.

2PM has been one of the most popular boy bands in Korea and several other countries in Asia since their debut in 2008 which officially expanded their singing careers into Japan last November.

Their first Japanese debut single "Take Off" fared well in Japan upon its release in mid-May and followed it up with their second single "I'm your man" in August.

The boys are also gearing up for their first arena tour this December with their performances at the Osaka-jo Hall in Osaka for two days starting December 5.

They will continue the tour with shows at the Nagoya Gaishi Hall in Nippon on December 8, the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo on December 14 and then wrap up the tour at the Marine Messe in Fukuoka on December 17.
