Coming March 16, 2022

“The Weeknd to release the fifth album! In "Out Of Time," the song "Midnight Pretenders" by Japanese singer Tomoko Aran is used as a sample. This edition comes with a bonus DVD featuring six music videos. Japan exclusive edition.”

After Hours Japanese deluxe release was a digipak so hopefully we get the same this time around. Also, hoping we get an alternate cover for this

I guess for people who wanted the music videos on DVD this is a solid option, but the bonus tracks certainly aren't enough to win anyone over this time

I would say this confirms we won’t be getting any sort of added tracks for a deluxe

The bonus tracks on here were already on the Alternate World edition

Out of everything I’m just wanting an alternate cover option & a digipak. Love those covers a lot

The alternate covers were available direct through his site, or do you mean you want one of those covers but with the Alternate World edition on the CD?

Basically just hoping this Japanese edition will use one of the alternate covers & not the old abel OG cover

Not really a fan of it. I enjoy the 80s inspired artwork more

Yeah, in that case those covers are available signed by Abel through shop.theweeknd.com

Which six music videos?

• Take my breath
• Sacrifice
• Gasoline
• Sacrifice Swedish House Mafia Version

Sacrifice XO vision & Gasoline XO vision?

It's in the top link.
The videos are Take My Breath, Take My Breath remix, Sacrifice, Sacrifice remix, Gasoline, Moth to a Flame.

Name 1 good Japanese bonus track

played herself leaving this off the album

Does this mean we are not getting anymore mv??? :(

don't think so,I'm very certain that they are gonna make a Less Than Zero MV at minimum.

Probably 1 or 2 more aside from Less Than Zero imo

Up, Sustain by Badbadnotgood. No more knees on by Big Red Machine. Better name 1 bad japanese bonus track

Tbh I don’t think any are bad in particular I just can’t remember any of them that were substantial

Kanye- Bittersweet

Such a beautiful song

Wish apple music had it

Yeah I wish it made grad somehow, I liked it a lot as a kid

It was nice when the japanese CDs used to get an exclusive, bonus track u couldn't get anywhere else.

S***, u weren't kidding, this is good

Dawn FM is a classic.

Imteresting hypothesis, a bit early, but maybe they wrapped up Dawn's part, preparing for the second installment of the new trilogy.

In the words of Dr. Octavius from the Spider-Man 2000 psx game: "Phase one, completed. Let us beggin with phase two"
(While Carnage does the maniac, sinister but excited laugh "yeeesss, hahhahha it begins.... soon... Very soon hahaha")

Edit: f*** it here's the vid, it's the very first cutscene, at the 2:32 mark.
How rad would it be if Abel announced the next rollout in a subtle way, by sharing this segment of the clip, of an old videogame, favourite to everybody who played it?
He did collab with Marvel for the Starboy comic, so it won't be impossible for him to use the clip lol

*third installment
