[Sportschosun, Jung Bit] Dragon Pony has kicked off its local activities by releasing its first EP in Japan.
On the 10th, Dragon Pony released its first Japanese EP, "Run to Run," on various music streaming platforms.
The new Japanese EP marks Dragon Pony's official debut in the market through a partnership with Warner Music Japan. With this release, the band is introducing its expanded rock sound and identity to Japanese listeners.
The title track, "Run to Win," is built on an energetic band sound and carries a message of moving forward without stopping toward one’s goals.
Drawing on experiences from their growth, the members sing about their determination to keep challenging themselves and improving.
The music video, released the same day, features Dragon Pony's signature powerful band performance and dynamic direction. Fast-paced editing and high-energy performance scenes combine to heighten the song's mood.
The EP includes five tracks in total, including the title song and "Stand Together," which captures a sense of solidarity with fellow members, "One Light, One Time," which reflects moments of youth, "Break the Chain," completed based on a demo from their trainee days, and "Look Back," which expresses feelings toward someone precious.
Having officially begun activities in Japan with Warner Music Japan, Dragon Pony will meet local fans with a solo tour, the "Dragon Pony 2026 Run to Run Japan Tour," in Tokyo on the 17th and in Osaka on the 21st.
