Tours is gaining immense popularity in Japan, topping the country's major music charts. On the 10th, Oricon in Japan announced its latest chart (for the 16th). Tours secured the number one spot on the weekly single ranking (calculated during the period from the 2nd to the 8th) with their first single 'Last Bell,' selling approximately 74,000 copies.

The media across Japan widely reported on this news. Fuji TV's morning information program 'Mezamashi TV' also covered Tours' Oricon record, highlighting the local interest in the group.

Additionally, Tours with 'Last Bell' secured the number one spot on the Billboard Japan's latest 'Top Single Sales' weekly chart (as of the 11th, for the period from the 2nd to the 8th). They showed their potential even before their official debut in Japan.

Their growth has been gradual. Previously, Tours achieved third and second place in the Oricon 'weekly album ranking' during the release weeks of their first and second mini albums, respectively. With 'Last Bell,' they reached the top of the weekly chart for the first time since their debut.

Tours actively made appearances in local media. They garnered attention with their 'powerful refreshing' performances on year-end music programs such as 'Best Hit Song Festival 2024' and '2024 FNS Music Festival.'

Tours is sweeping rookie awards at major music award ceremonies in Korea. They are currently engaged in year-end activities with their title track 'Last Festival.'
