Japanese boy group Number_i, composed of Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi, continues to captivate fans worldwide with the surprise release of their deluxe album No.I (Deluxe), now available on streaming platforms. This special edition of their debut album, released as a gesture of gratitude to their fans, features all 13 original tracks plus the newly unveiled song 'HIRAKEGOMA'.

'HIRAKEGOMA (開けゴマ)', meaning "Open the door", draws inspiration from the timeless tales of One Thousand and One Nights. In this classic story, the words 'HIRAKEGOMA' unlock a secret cave filled with treasures, and the phrase has since become a beloved part of Japanese culture.

In Japan, 'HIRAKEGOMA' is often used in everyday conversation as a playful expression for magical or lucky outcomes. The phrase conveys the idea that certain words hold the power to create wonderful possibilities, much like "abracadabra" in English. The track’s lyrics mirror this theme of unlocking potential.

This lyrical touch emphasizes the group’s close bond with their fans, affectionately called iLYs, underscoring the shared journey of growth and discovery between the group and their supporters.

A visualizer for 'HIRAKEGOMA' is now available on Number_i’s official YouTube channel.
