Korean girl group 4minute released their first full-length album in Japan today, according to their agency Cube Entertainment on Wednesday.

A press release from Cube announced that a regular and limited edition of their album "DIAMOND," the latter including a pictorial booklet and special DVD, hit stores in Japan.

"DIAMOND" features their previously released Japanese singles "Muzik," "I My Me Mine" and four new songs titled "Hide & Seek," "Can't Make Up My Mind," "Already Gone" and "December."

4minute, one of the first Korean girl groups to make their debut in Japan, recently held their second concert "4Minute LIVE Energy Vol. 2 DIAMOND" in the country, attracting over 4,000 fans to their performance.

4minute splashed into the local music scene with their debut single "Hot Issue" in 2009. They have enjoyed success in several Asian countries including Taiwan and the Philippines with their mini-album "For Muzik."

They will return to the local music scene with a new record early next year.
