Global boy group &TEAM unveiled the music video for the title track of their upcoming second studio album Yukiakari (雪明かり) on December 16 via HYBE Labels’ official YouTube channel. The nearly 4-minute and 50-second video captures the essence of youth and the poignant passage of time through a stunning visual narrative.

Opening with a sentimental guitar riff, the music video evokes nostalgic imagery before transitioning into a dynamic melody that underscores the boys' unwavering determination for a fresh start. The song encapsulates the members’ confidence as they embark on a new chapter, celebrating the seasons they have endured together and their shared aspirations.

A team of renowned domestic and international composers collaborated to create Yukiakari. HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk, along with producers Vincenzo and Soma Genda, contributed to the track's production, enhancing its overall quality. The cohesive soundscape aligns seamlessly with the song's narrative of perseverance and unity.

The music video further highlights the group’s journey by weaving together symbolic representations of the seasons. Visuals of the boys overcoming challenges—depicted as an inaccurate compass and fierce snowstorms—culminate in a powerful scene where they stand side by side, resolute and moving forward. Nostalgic callbacks to their previous releases, Samidare (Spring) and Aoarashi (Summer), also appear, illustrating &TEAM's evolving artistic identity and growth.

The title Yukiakari translates to "snow light," symbolizing hope and resilience amid hardships. The visual storytelling, combined with heartfelt lyrics, offers an emotional experience that resonates deeply with listeners.

&TEAM’s second full-length album Yukiakari is scheduled for release on December 18. The album comprises 22 tracks, including four new songs and Korean-language versions of their previously released tracks. This ambitious release solidifies the group’s expanding musical spectrum and global presence.

With their meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey meaningful themes, &TEAM is poised to captivate audiences worldwide once again, as they continue their upward trajectory in the music industry.
