The popular group Tours will officially debut in Japan in July and have a hot summer.
Tours (Shin Yu, Do Hoon, Youngjae, Hanjin, Jihoon, Kyungmin) announced on the team’s official SNS at 0 a.m. on the 1st that their Japanese debut single “はじめまして” will be released on July 2. The single logo, which was released at the same time, was combined with the album name, which means “nice to meet you,” and made us look forward to a fresh first meeting with local fans.
The debut single contains a total of three songs, including the original Japanese song. The agency Pledis Entertainment said, “It is a work that can feel special in everyday life like memories of summer with excitement and sparkle that anyone can experience at least once. You will get a glimpse of the charm of the refreshing and refreshing Tours,” he said.
Tours’ popularity in Japan is already unusual. Their first single “Last Bell” was certified as “Gold” by the Japan Records Association, exceeding 100,000 cumulative local shipments in December 2024, the month of its release. “TRY WITH US,” the third mini album released on the 21st of last month, ranked second in Japan’s Oricon’s latest weekly album ranking (April 21st to April 27th).
Local ticket power is also significant. Tours’ first fan meeting “2025 TWS 1ST FANMEETING <42:CLUB> IN JAPAN”, held at Musashino Forest Sports Plaza Main Arena in Tokyo on March 15-16, was all sold out. A total of 30,000 fans gathered at the site to prove their interest in them. The pop-up store, which was opened to commemorate the fan meeting, was crowded, with all time zones sold out within 20 minutes of the opening of the pre-booking page.
Meanwhile, TWS, which is active as the 3rd mini-album “TRY WITH US,” continues to be popular thanks to its unique refreshing sound. The title track, “Isn’t it cool to run with your heart?” is SBS M, SBS funE, MBC M, MBC every1 Show! He won first place in “Champion” and won two music shows.
