NCT 127 - Chain

Format: EP (mini album)

Date: May 23, 2018

Special Release: Japanese

Tt: Chain

Choreo: Rino Nakasone and Jumi Lite

Chain is NCT 127's debut Japanese EP and the first Japanese-specific release of any of the units.

SM announced that NCT 127 and Red Velvet would debut and hold a showcase tour in Japan to support its new partnership with Avex Trax. The EP features 5 songs, including four new songs and a Japanese version of "Limitless."

The members include: Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Mark and Haechan.

Chain was preceded by the Japanese version of "Limitless" as the first single on November 4, 2017, followed by the single "Chain" on May 8, 2018. The title track "Chain" later received a Korean version in the group’s repackaged album, Regulate.

The tt is very "Neo" with an industrial sound layered on the group's soaring vocals and propulsive raps. The choreo was created by renowned choreographer Rino Nakasone, working with Jumi Lite. Nakasone would go on to choreograph and direct NCT 127's two tours, Neo City: The Origin and Neo City: The Link.

Trivia

• Chain debuted at #2 on the Japanese Oricon Weekly Albums chart with 44,832 copies sold on its first week of release.
• It also debuted at #8 on the U.S. Billboard World Albums chart, making it the group fourth top 10 entry.

NCT 127 - Up Next Session: NCT 127

Format: EP (mini album)

Date: October 22, 2018

In Oct 2, 2018, NCT 127 became the first and only K-pop group selected to appear in Apple Music's "Up Next" spotlight series, which focuses on rising talent.

NCT 127 had previously been Apple Music's first K-pop "New Artist of the Week" in 2017 for "Cherry Bomb," as well as premiering a special choreography video of "Touch" exclusively on Apple Music.

As part of the "Up Next" promotions, NCT 127 featured in special videos, a rooftop performance in LA, performances at Apple Stores and an exclusive Apple Music EP.

The members include: Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Winwin, Jungwoo, Mark and Haechan.

The EP combines songs from three previous EPs with exclusive remixes and versions, as well as one new song, "What We Talkin' Bout."

This release occurred during NCT 127's heavy American push to support Regular-Irregular, so three of the four songs are in English: a remix of the English version of "Regular," a new English version of "Cherry Bomb" and a new R&B song "What We Talkin' Bout" (feat. Marteen).

Taeyong and Mark already have writing credits on "Cherry Bomb" and "Regular" and also have lyrics credits for the new song.

Because this was an Apple Music exclusive, all of the songs on this EP are only available on this release through Apple Music, which is paid. However, the songs are available for free on YouTube through SM's channels.

NCT - Dreamworks Trolls x SM Station

Format: single / OST

Date: November 29, 2018

These songs were NCT Dream's first OST. It is listed as NCT but only features the teenage Dream members and Yeri from Red Velvet, which fits this soundtrack to a children's movie.

These songs were featured as part of the third season of SM Station. The songs were opening and closing songs of the movie's Korean version, including the lead single "Hair in the Air" 예리X런쥔X제노X재민 and the b-side "Best Day Ever."

These are very traditional OST, kids' movie pop songs.
