WISHLIST Lyrics & Tracklist – NCT WISH

Album Overview

WISHLIST is the first Japanese mini album by the South Korean–Japanese boy group NCT WISH, a sub-unit of the larger NCT project under SM Entertainment. The album was released on January 14, 2026, marking the group’s official entry into the Japanese music market with original Japanese compositions alongside localized versions of previously performed tracks. It was distributed through Avex Music Creative Inc. and SM Entertainment on digital and physical formats, including CD, cassette, and streaming platforms. The release follows the pre-release single “Dreamcatcher,” which debuted on November 6, 2025.

Musically, WISHLIST blends J-pop, dance pop, synth elements, and mainstream pop sensibilities tailored for a broad Japanese audience. The album’s thematic content revolves around youthful optimism, emotional connection, and feel-good melodies characteristic of NCT WISH’s performance style. The inclusion of a Japanese version of “poppop” ties the new material to the group’s earlier work while expanding their discography with exclusively Japanese content. The album was made available in multiple collectible physical editions, each featuring unique packaging and bonus items for fans.
