## Audio

***Stranger*** (stylized in all caps) is the fourth extended play by Japanese boy group JO1. It was released on August 18, 2021 by Lapone Entertainment.

There are three editions of the album: each features a total of four tracks, although the content varies. The song "REAL" serves as the title track on all editions. Previously released as digital singles, "Dreaming Night", which served as the theme song to the MBS drama series *Love is Phantom*, and the theme of YSL's "LIBRE" web commercial, "Freedom", were also included on some editions. A special edition with all tracks was later released for digital streaming and download.
