Yuta, a member of the K-pop group NCT, officially released all seven tracks from his debut solo album "Depth" on Thursday, marking his first solo endeavor in Japan. The album’s digital release was accompanied by the music video for the lead single “Off The Mask,” a track that showcases Yuta's desire to express his authentic self without reservation.

The music video for “Off The Mask” emphasizes Yuta's journey of self-discovery, highlighting his willingness to face challenges and reveal his true identity to the world. With its dynamic visuals and powerful lyrics, the lead single sets the tone for the rest of the album, now available on all major streaming platforms.

The physical version of "Depth" is slated for release on November 13. This launch will make Yuta the sixth NCT member to have his solo album, following in the footsteps of his fellow group members who have already ventured into solo projects. The anticipation for the physical release is high, with fans eager to see how Yuta’s unique style and voice will be packaged in this highly-anticipated album.

To celebrate the release of "Depth," Yuta is embarking on a solo showcase tour titled “Hope” in Japan. Starting this Saturday, he will travel to five cities, performing nine shows. The tour has already made waves in the Japanese music scene as tickets for all nine showcases sold out almost immediately after going on sale.

Yuta’s upcoming tour is more than just a promotional activity; it marks a significant milestone in his career, symbolizing his evolution as an individual artist outside the NCT framework. The title of the showcase, “Hope,” aligns with his message of self-acceptance and his aspiration to inspire fans through his musical journey.

Since his debut with NCT, Yuta has been known for his charismatic stage presence and exceptional dance skills. His move into the solo spotlight with "Depth" represents a new chapter, allowing him to explore his musicality and creative direction independently. The Japanese idol's journey from group performances to a solo career has already captured the attention of fans worldwide.

Yuta’s solo debut in Japan not only highlights his talent as a performer but also strengthens NCT's influence in the global music industry. As one of the first Japanese artists to make his mark as a K-pop idol, Yuta's success is seen as a bridge between Japanese and Korean music markets, further broadening NCT's international appeal.

Industry experts are optimistic about the success of "Depth," noting Yuta's dedication to his craft and his desire to connect deeply with his audience. His versatility as both a group member and a solo artist suggests that he is well-prepared to take on new challenges in the Japanese music scene.

With his solo album "Depth" and the “Hope” showcase tour, Yuta is set to solidify his position not only as a member of NCT but also as a powerful solo artist capable of captivating audiences on his terms.
