T-ARA is getting ready to drop their 2nd Japanese album “TREASURE BOX” and has revealed all the release details including jacket covers and bonuses. The new album includes their Japanese singles, “Sexy Love”, “Bunny Style!”, and just released “TARGET”, plus the Japanese version of “DAY BY DAY”, unit songs, and new songs for a total of 13 tracks. Album “TREASURE BOX” comes on three editions that hit stores August 7th 2013. Updated details and more news on T-ARA follow.
