Lilas – Laugh

Today, Lilas—also known as ikura from J-pop duo YOASOBI—releases her sophomore solo album, Laugh.

The new record arrives nearly three years after her acclaimed solo debut LP, Sketch. Laugh is a collection of songs that reflects Lilas’ wide-ranging artistic growth, capturing her challenges and achievements across 13 tracks.

The album includes previously released singles “P.S.,” “With” and “Seishun Ohka” feat. ano, as well as viral sensation “Koikaze” and the newest single “Latata.”

Laugh also features “Cafe Latte,” a new tie-in song for the Korean drama “Surely Tomorrow,” starring Park Seo-joon and Won Ji-an. The track was composed by Lee Chanhyuk of AKMU and IU Producer Seo Donghwan.

To celebrate the album’s release, Lilas LIVE TOUR 2026 “Laugh” will be held across three locations this May:

May 5th and May 6th: Kobe World Memorial Hall, Hyogo, Japan

May 16th and May 17th: Pia Arena MM, Kanagawa, Japan

May 23rd: Olympic Hall at Olympic Park, Seoul, South Korea

The album comes fresh on the heels of Lilas being named a global ambassador for COACH, joining their Fall 2025 campaign “Revive Your Courage.” This marked her first foray into serving as an ambassador for a fashion brand. She also recently shared an English version of her single “In Bloom.”

Last month, Lilas teamed up with two international stars on their latest tracks: “Plus Rien” with acclaimed French rapper Orelsan, and “Perfectos Imperfectos,” the latest single from Spanish singer-songwriter Pablo Alborán.
