November 11, 2026 - Japanese-Korean rapper, singer-songwriter and producer CHANMINA releases her new album LEGEND today. Her first full-length album in three years, LEGEND brings together a decade of artistic evolution and the experiences, challenges and defining moments that have shaped her life and career.

Pouring every part of who she is today into the project, CHANMINA confronts her personal battles and struggles with raw, uncompromising honesty. Moving beyond any single genre, LEGEND captures an artist embracing the full scope of her identity and creative ambition.

A multilingual artist who raps and sings in Japanese, Korean and English, CHANMINA moves fluidly across pop, hip-hop, alternative rock and R&B, building a singular sound and a devoted international following. Equally at home behind the mic and behind the scenes, she brings a distinct perspective to songwriting, production and visual expression.

The album includes "HISTORY" and its title track, " LEGEND ," which CHANMINA debuted during AREA OF DIAMOND FINAL, the culmination of her first-ever Tokyo Dome concert run, in July. The shows marked a major career milestone, with two sold-out nights drawing more than 200,000 ticket applications.

Introduced with the words "This is my story," "LEGEND" offers a personal reflection on CHANMINA's journey, pairing an expressive vocal performance with a sound that moves across musical styles. Together, "HISTORY" and "LEGEND" offer different perspectives on the experiences and defining moments that have shaped her artistry.

For a closer look at the making of the album, CHANMINA joins Spotify's exclusive video podcast series Liner Voice+ to share behind-the-scenes stories with the collaborators who helped bring LEGEND to life. Joining her is JIGG, a longtime core producer who has supported her since her debut and contributed to numerous tracks on the album, alongside Ricky Ricky, who co-produced album track "NAME CARD" as well as HANA's "NON STOP" and "Slidin." Key staff members from NO LABEL MUSIC, CHANMINA's own label, also join the conversation.

CHANMINA's influence extends well beyond music. A 2026 Vogue Japan cover star and a friend of CHANEL, she also graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar Japan in 2025 and has been featured in ELLE Japan . Her presence across leading fashion publications reflects an artist whose creative identity reaches across disciplines, challenging expectations and defining her own terms.

This year, CHANMINA brought her music to American audiences at Zipangu at Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, billed as the largest Japanese music event ever held on U.S. soil.

Alongside her own releases, CHANMINA has expanded her creative reach as the producer of HANA, the seven-member girl group formed through No No Girls, an audition project she created in partnership with BMSG. Across her work as a recording artist and producer, she continues to evolve her sound, visuals and creative direction while navigating the experiences of motherhood and a new chapter in her life.

With LEGEND, CHANMINA marks a decade of artistic growth while continuing to expand her reach across music, fashion and culture.

LEGEND is available now.
