ILLIT Opens Preorders for Japan 2nd Single ‘I Got Your Back,’ With Signed Cheki Lottery

For the 15:45 KST IDOL afternoon lane, we looked first for fresh ILLIT news with at least three official images available, while avoiding overlap with the RESCENE Geoje collaboration already covered that day and the summer festival/interview angles handled through the previous day. The June 15 preorder notice for ILLIT’s second Japan single on ILLIT JAPAN OFFICIAL SITE met those conditions cleanly.

The schedule and prices to check first for this second Japan single

According to the official notice, preorders began at 11:00 a.m. on June 15, with the digital release scheduled for July 26 and the CD release scheduled for July 29. The tracklist is described as three songs in total, including the anime opening song ‘Sunday Morning’, which was released digitally in January this year.

The pricing is also easy to compare. The ILLIT×FRUiTS Special Edition and Limited First Edition are each priced at 2,310 yen, while the Regular Edition and member solo jacket editions are each priced at 1,650 yen. The official wording also confirms that purchases are eligible for Japan Oricon and Billboard Japan chart counting.

The FRUiTS Special Edition and solo jacket editions are the visual highlights

The version that stands out most in this notice is the ILLIT×FRUiTS Special Edition. It is a collaboration version with the Japanese street fashion magazine FRUiTS, and includes a 36-page booklet, sticker sheet, poster, postcard, and selfie photocard. The official images also offer an early look at the styling and package feel of this second Japan single.

For fans, the separate member solo jacket editions are another clear point to check. Buyers can choose covers for the five members, YUNAH, MINJU, MOKA, WONHEE, and IROHA, with separate inclusions such as a poster and photo message. At the same 1,650 yen price point, the practical point of this notice is that the reasons to choose the Regular Edition and the solo jacket editions are clearly different.

The signed cheki lottery runs until 17:59 on June 19

A separate notice released the same day covers a lottery for individually hand-signed member cheki photos for preorder buyers. Eligible stores are ILLIT Weverse Shop and UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE, and the entry-eligible purchase period runs from 11:00 on June 15 to 17:59 on June 19. There will be 25 winners, with the announcement scheduled for around 17:00 on June 26.

The key detail is that buyers must select an eligible product marked [hand-signed cheki entry] to be automatically entered in the lottery, rather than a standard product. The notice also lists bundle options separately, including a three-format set for 6,270 yen and a five-format member solo jacket edition set for 8,250 yen. For fans already considering a purchase of the second Japan single, this notice works less like a simple release alert and more like a buying guide that compares versions, prices, and deadlines in one place.
