BOYNEXTDOOR has secured a top position on the Oricon Chart.

BOYNEXTDOOR debuted with their first Japanese single "AND," on the 10th. According to Oricon, the album secured the 2nd position on the "Daily Single Ranking" (as of the 9th).

On the first day of its release, it sold 101,271 copies (based on Oricon sales). This is their highest record to date, nearly double the sales of their previous mini-album "HOW".

"AND," is an album that continues the story after the first love trilogy. It portrays the story of youth experiencing first love and accepting a breakup, leading to personal growth.

It consists of four tracks in total, including the Japanese versions of the Korean album title track "One and Only," "But Sometimes," "Earth, Wind and Fire," and a Japanese original new song "Good Day."

To commemorate the release of their Japanese debut single, BOYNEXTDOOR will be engaging in local promotions. On the day of the release, they performed live on NTV's "Dayday."

They are scheduled to appear on TBS's "Music Day" special live broadcast on the 13th, and NHK's "Venue101" on the 20th. On August 18th, they are set to perform at "Summer Sonic 2024."
