Two dates to separate

Real Sound reports that Red Velvet’s IRENE & SEULGI will release their first original Japanese mini-album, Cheetah, on November 4, 2026. Its release-information box separately lists advance digital availability for September 14 at midnight. These are different parts of the rollout, not interchangeable release dates.

A detail worth checking

The article’s opening says advance streaming has started, while the dated release box points ahead to September 14. Because that wording is inconsistent, we do not claim the music is already available. The concrete CD date is November 4; digital timing should be checked with the artist’s current release information.

The flip side

The report lists five tracks and separate event arrangements around the Japan tour. Album release, concert admission and a meet-and-greet are distinct announcements. None of those alone guarantees access to the others. Keeping the original Japanese headline helps readers find the exact report behind this English explanation.

Update note: Expanded with source context and a clearer distinction between the announcement and what it establishes.
