Korean female idols After School will release their second Japanese single this November, according to their agency Pledis Entertainment.
An overseas PR official with Pledis told 10Asia over the phone on Wednesday that After School's next Japanese single will go on sale in the country on November 23.
"The girls' new album will include three tracks which will be newly arranged Japanese versions of song 'Diva!' and a Japanese track titled 'Ready to Love," he explained.
“The members recently finished putting the final touches on the album and have returned to Korea.”
“Diva!” will be produced in three editions -- version A will include the album, a bonus DVD with music videos and extra footage and trading cards, B will be composed of the album, a bonus DVD with different footage and trading cards and C will include just the album.
After School, who are pursuing their singing career in Japan with major Japanese record company AVEX, has been one of the most well-recognized girl groups in Korea since their debut in 2009.
The girls have also placed within the top ten of Japan's Oricon weekly chart with their first Japanese single "Bang!" last month.
