YG's large-scale group TREASURE once again proved its immense popularity in Japan with its first single album in Japan.
According to YG Entertainment on the 5th, the title song 'Here I Stand' of Treasure's first Japanese original single album topped the Top 100 Weekly Chart (March 29, 2023 - April 4, 2023) of Line Music, the largest digital music site in the country.
Treasure's Japanese original song 'Here I Stand' is a pop rock genre song that combines the lyrics of never giving up on a dream and moving forward with a sophisticated band sound. Treasure's unique energetic vocals were added to maximize the strong message contained in the song.
This song has already topped Line Music's weekly chart with the short version 'Here I Stand-Anime Edit-', which was released as an event last January. Officially released sound sources also topped the real-time and daily charts as well as the weekly charts.
Not only digital music, but also strong album sales, which are considered an indicator of core fandom. With this album, Treasure achieved a career high by selling about 240,000 copies.
It is analyzed that the Japanese tour, which heated up the heat with 26 performances in 8 cities from November of last year to January of this year, was the trigger for this explosive rise. Through this, Treasure has mobilized an audience of nearly 300,000, the highest number among K-pop artists touring in Japan for the first time.
Meanwhile, Treasure is in the midst of their first Asian tour of 8 cities and 12 concerts since their debut. Starting with Taipei, they successfully completed performances in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Bangkok, turning the turning point. In the future, they will move to Singapore on April 8, Manila on April 14 and 15, Macau on April 22, and Hong Kong on May 20 to breathe with local fans.
