VXON are giving their 2024 track, “KNT (Kanta Ng Tanga),” a Japanese spin.

On September 24, 2026, the P-pop boy group confirmed that an official audio and music video for the Japanese track will drop on October 16 at 12:00 AM PHT and October 17 at 1:00 AM JST.

The announcement arrived alongside a short teaser video showing an animated, colorful desk setup with a computer displaying the release date and title, while a snippet of the members singing in Japanese plays in the background.

Marking their Japanese debut, the release is titled “Kimi no Tokubetsu (君の特別),” roughly translating to “your special someone.” The track serves as the Japanese iteration of “KNT (Kanta Ng Tanga).”

Originally released as part of the boy group’s debut studio album, 20:20, in January 2024, “KNT (Kanta Ng Tanga)” has become one of VXON’s most-streamed tracks.

The upcoming single comes as VXON continue to expand their presence in Japan through their partnership with Japanese entertainment company PIA Corporation. Officially announced during an exclusive media conference this past July, the partnership aims to promote the P-pop boy group in Japan through magazine features, Japanese releases, and more.

“Kimi no Tokubetsu (君の特別)” serves as the first of many Japanese versions of their fan-favorite hits, with VXON having previously teased a Japanese release of “pelikula” — the lead single off of their second studio album, Pasakalye.
