CLOSE YOUR EYES – 4th Mini Album [256th Note] Version Guide

CLOSE YOUR EYES is returning with their 4th Mini Album [256th Note], introducing three unique album formats: Pulse Ver., Tenuto Ver. and Digging Ver.

Scheduled for release in Korea on 30 September 2026, [256th Note] explores the fleeting moments and emotions that become memories and, eventually, stories through music. The album draws inspiration from the freedom and improvisation of jazz, focusing on honest emotions and natural moments rather than strictly defined expressions.

What makes this release particularly interesting for collectors is that each version offers a completely different format and collecting experience.

Pulse Ver. – Photobook Version

The Pulse Ver. is the main photobook-style album and the most substantial of the three formats.

It includes a large-format Unison Book, a Soloist Note, a full postcard set and several collectible photo items.

Pulse Ver. Contents

• Out Package – 1ea

• CD-R – 1ea

• Unison Book – 36 pages

• Soloist Note – 48 pages

• Postcard Set – 7ea + 1 envelope

• Film Frame Photo – Random 1 out of 7

• Photocard – Random 1 out of 7

• Poster – Random 1 out of 2

With 36 pages of Unison Book, 48 pages of Soloist Note and seven postcards, Pulse Ver. is a great choice for fans who enjoy traditional photobook albums and plenty of visual content.

Tenuto Ver. – Jewel Version

The Tenuto Ver. takes a completely different approach with a compact Jewel-style format.

There are 7 different Tenuto versions, with one version sent at random when ordering a single album.

Tenuto Ver. Contents

• PET Postcards – 2ea

• CD-R – 1ea

• Photocard – Random 1 out of 7

The PET postcards, CD-R and booklet are version-specific, while the Analog Photo and Photocard are randomly selected.

For collectors, the 7-version structure makes Tenuto Ver. particularly interesting, especially for fans who want to collect all versions.

Digging Ver. – Ticket Version

The Digging Ver. is the most compact and collectible-focused format of the three.

Rather than a traditional CD album, this version is presented as a Ticket format and does not include a physical CD.

Digging Ver. Contents

• Out Package – 1ea

• Ticket – Random 1 out of 22

• QR Card – Random 1 out of 2

• Photocard – Random 1 out of 98
