Tours has added a gold-certified album in Japan.

On the 8th, the Japan Record Association announced that "Tours' local debut single 'Nice to See You Again' has exceeded sales of 100,000 copies as of last month and has received gold disk certification."

This certification is awarded by the Japan Record Association based on the cumulative shipment volume of albums each month. It is categorized as 'Gold' (100,000 copies), 'Platinum' (250,000 copies), 'Double Platinum' (500,000 copies), 'Triple Platinum' (750,000 copies), and 'Million' (1 million copies).

This is the third time Tours has received gold certification. They previously achieved this with their single 'Last Bell' and mini-album 'Try With Us'.

'Nice to See You Again' swept the top spots on various album charts in its first week of release, including Oricon's 'Weekly Single Ranking' and 'Weekly Combined Single Ranking,' as well as Billboard Japan's 'Top Single Sales Chart.'

It also achieved significant success on music charts. The title track reached number one on Billboard Japan's 'Hot 100'. This marks the second number one position for a foreign song this year, following Rosé and Bruno Mars' 'Apartment.'

Meanwhile, Tours will hold their first world tour '24/7: WITH:US' at K-Arena Yokohama on the 9th and 10th.
