Made of Glass is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Milet, released on August 19, 2026, via SME Records. Preceded by the release of four singles, Made of Glass is Milet's first album following a short hiatus.

Background and release

In August 2023, Milet released her third studio album, 5am.[1] Months after the release of 5am, she released the extended play (EP) Anytime Anywhere (2024), which included music featured on the Japanese anime series Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.[2] Between mid-2024 and late 2025, Milet released a variety of singles, including "Hanataba", which was featured as the theme song for the Japanese dram Anti Hero.[3]

In June 2026, Milet announced her fourth studio album, Made of Glass.[4] A full track list was revealed in July.[5]

Made of Glass was released on August 19, 2026. Three physical variants were released: a regular edition, limited CD and Blu-ray edition and a limited CD and DVD edition. Both limited variants include bonus live performance footage.[6]

Music

Rolling Stone Japan described the album primarily as post-rock record.[7] In an interview with Rolling Stone Japan, Milet explained Made of Glass was a return to her "roots".[7] "Unabara" was a previously unreleased track written by Milet that she wrote before her major label debut.[8]

Promotion

Made of Glass features various songs used in commercial tie-ups or as theme songs for television series. "Anytime Anywhere" and "The Story of Us" served as ending theme songs for Frieren while "Sunny" was used as the opening theme for the anime adaption of Though I Am an Inept Villainess.[9][10] "Wings", originally released on the Anytime Anywhere EP, was used in a series of commercial tie-ups.[11]

"Hurricane" was released prior to the release of the album as a digital promotional single.[12] "Christmas Eve" later was released as a promotional single on the same day Made of Glass was released.[13] "Sunny", which originally was released as a digital promotional single, will be released as a physical single on September 2, 2026.[14]
