When is DPR going to release new stuff?
DPR IAN told DREAMers that he is currently working on an EP about Mr. Insanity. No word on a release date yet.
DPR LIVE teased fans during a couple of Regime Tour stops in December that he had several albums in the works. He recently gave an update at a festival performance. He told DREAMers that he has 50 songs but we would have to wait a little longer because he needs to take a break before he'll be ready to release anything new.
DREAMers are also still waiting on:
-- DPR IAN's MIITO Movie Part 2
-- DPR IAN's MIITO album and movie documentary
-- Regime Tour documentary
-- Regime Tour Finale in Seoul DVD (& perhaps a behind the scenes documentary)

At 12:00 am ET / 9:00 pm PT on Friday, July 29th DPR IAN's Moodswings In To Order (or MIITO) full length album was released on all streaming platforms.
DREAMers worked hard on purchasing and streaming goals with the release, and the album made record numbers for DPR. It debuted at #10 on the Worldwide iTunes Chart. The album reached 3M streams on Spotify on the second day of release.
DPR had also dropped "Ballroom Extravaganza" as a surprise pre-release single along with a music video on Monday, July 26th. By Sunday, July 31st the song had reached 1M streams on Spotify.
IAN posted on Twitter at 2:14 am ET on July 29th that Part 1 of the "MIITO" short film was up on YouTube. Part 1 runs 7:44 and contains parts of four songs from the album - "Seraph," "1 Shot," "Mood" and "Ribbon." (IAN went live on Instagram for about 30 minutes right before the video was posted.)
As of October 2022, the video has had over 1,381,000 streams on YouTube.
Ian indicated in an Instagram Live in September that he was not able to finish editing Part 2 before tour started. He is not sure when he will get back to it, so the project is on hold until further notice.
M II T O Is Coming!
On June 13, 2022, DPR IAN announced via his Twitter account that his second album would be released on July 29th. The title of the album would be Moodswings In To Order or MIITO. (The working title had been MITO2.)
On July 15, 2022, DPR IAN revealed via Instagram and Twitter that MIITO wasn't just an album; it's a movie too.
DPR REM confirmed on July 19th that they decided to call it a movie because they couldn't decide which tracks should get a music video and ended up filming for almost every song on the album.
