2hollis has released Pirouette digitally, with Universal Music Japan marking the new album’s arrival on November 11. The release moves the project beyond its September announcement and singles campaign. Fans waiting for a physical copy have a different date: the artist’s official store lists the CD and its exclusive rose vinyl for November 13.

Universal’s release-day notice and digital product listing both identify today’s album release. The artist’s shop separately offers a digital edition. Those listings matter because a record can be available to hear while a physical edition is still described as a preorder. The Wednesday and Friday dates belong to different formats.
What the physical listings actually promise
The CD page gives November 13 as its release date and lists a US dollar price of $14. The store-exclusive rose vinyl is listed at $30 with the same release date. These are the displayed item prices, rather than a delivered total. Neither short product description promises arrival at every buyer’s address on Friday.
The official digital edition is also listed at $14, matching the CD’s displayed base price. Its November 11 date gives fans a different access window. Comparing the two requires looking at the format and release date as well as the price.
Rose vinyl identifies the colour and store exclusivity of that pressing. The description does not advertise a bonus song, an alternate running order or a different mix. A listener comparing it with the CD should therefore distinguish the physical object from a claim about additional recordings. There is no basis in those two listings to present the coloured pressing as an expanded musical edition.
That differs from releases such as the Pixies’ four rare session tracks, where the added recordings were the news. It also gives this week’s launch a different shape from RIIZE’s one-track album prologue: today’s 2hollis listing is for the album, following its advance songs.
From the singles to Amano’s artwork
The September label announcement named “Sex” and “Hurt” as songs from the campaign and credited Yoshitaka Amano with hand-drawn album artwork. Amano’s contribution is a separate part of the release’s presentation, rather than a musical production credit. The announcement described the project as the follow-up to star, 2hollis’s 2025 major-label debut.
The artist’s earlier album history also includes boy and 2, before that major-label release. Pirouette now extends that catalogue. For fans following the campaign one single at a time, today brings the album release; Friday brings the physical formats listed by the store. The format dates establish that distinction without making a listening judgment about the new record.
