It was announced on the day of their Christmas day live that A9 would be releasing their 2nd EP, LIGHT AND DARKNESS, in Spring! From what we can gather, it will come three physical edition, in what they call “Normal edition”, “Special edition”, and “Deluxe edition”, and it will also be released digitally! However, all this seems to be not from the usual outlet of CDJapan, as you can see from their Peatix page, stating that they will have a music video for each of the members as they did for the release of Phoenix, amongst other things.
The album is actually currently purchasable through the aforementioned Peatix page, specifically for overseas fans, but you’ll have to settle with the information made available so far, as the band themselves most likely haven’t set every detail in stone yet.
Below is the first preview from the album, of the track ANIMUS.
