U-KISS ranks in the Top 3 on Japan’s Oricon Chart with ‘Brand New Kiss’

Idol group U-KISS have climbed up to 3rd place on the Japanese music chart Oricon with their most recent album. What’s particularly special about this achievement is that their album, ‘Brand New Kiss‘, only contains songs in Korean.

When the album was released on August 24th, it placed 5th on the list. However, after just one day, it managed to climb to 3rd. A representative stated, “We feel like it’s a reward for U-KISS‘s hard efforts in promoting over the past 3 months. We’re planning to be active in Japan for the latter half of this year.”

U-KISS will be returning to Korea on September 8th with a new full-length album. Fans can expect a more masculine concept exceeding that of their past single, “Man Man Ha Ni“.
