The song is also garnering great attention and popularity by trending on high-ranks of music sites such as Rakuten’s Music Weekly Chart, which they topped, and AWA and iTunes.
Without any particular promotion activities in Japan, all TREASURE’s title-songs released in Japan such as ‘BOY’, I LOVE YOU’, ‘MMM’, ‘MY TREASURE’, ‘BEAUTIFUL’, JIKJIN’, ‘U’, and ‘HELLO’ all ranked first on Japan’s major music sites. As their surprise song ‘Here I stand’ which was released to pay back fan’s enthusiastic responses also reached the top, it’s become very obvious that the group is being loved in Japan.
TREASURE brought together 300,000 audiences through their 26 concerts in 8 cities in Japan, breaking the record of the most number of audiences for a K-POP artist who has never held a concert in Japan for. Riding on the popularity, the group will kick off their tour in Asia starting with Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok, Singapore, Manila, Macau, and Hong Kong, and add fuel to their ongoing popularity.
