Synopsis (シノプシス：あらすじ) is Kis-My-Ft2's tenth album, released on May 8, 2024, by MENT Recording.[1] It is their first original album in four years since To-y2 (2020) and their first album with six members after departure of Hiromitsu Kitayama in August 2023.[2]

The title is based on the concept of "a new story created with your loved ones". It contains 12 new songs in total for all formats, including six songs supervised and produced by each member.[2]

A live tour under the name of this album "Kis-My-Ft2 Dome Tour 2024 Synopsis" is scheduled to start on June 8, 2024.[3]
