The pre-release of the single tracks coincides with a nationwide fan concert tour titled “2024 RIIZE FAN CON –RIIZING DAY- JAPAN HALL TOUR.”
Kicking off on August 30 and running through September 27, the tour promises an intimate connection between RIIZE and their Japanese fans.

The popularity of RIIZE in Japan Is Irrefutable.
The phenomenal group’s popularity in Japan is already undeniable. Their recently released debut mini-album, “RIIZING,” dominated the Oricon Daily Album Chart for a remarkable three consecutive days, reigning supreme from July 5 to 7. This chart dominance continued as “RIIZING” claimed the top spot on both the Oricon Weekly Album Chart and the Billboard Japan Top Album Sales Chart from July 1 to 7.
Further solidifying their burgeoning success in Japan, the title track “Boom Boom Bass” achieved a record-breaking feat. Within only three weeks of its release, the song surpassed a staggering 10 million cumulative streams on Spotify, the world’s leading music streaming platform. This marks the fastest growth for RIIZE’s released tracks, showcasing their immense appeal to the Japanese audience.
RIIZE’s captivating talent extends beyond music, as they actively expand their influence by contributing to local drama soundtracks. Their recent performance of “Same Key,” the insert song for the TV Asahi drama “Tarnishing Your Face” that premiered on July 13, garnered significant attention in Japan. This strategic move not only broadens their reach but also demonstrates their versatility and commitment to the Japanese market.
With their upcoming single release, nationwide fan concerts, and a proven track record of success, RIIZE is poised for a phenomenal debut in Japan. Their dedication to captivating audiences and their undeniable talent promise to solidify their position as a major force in the Japanese music scene. The future shines brightly for RIIZE, and fans can eagerly anticipate the group’s continued rise as they conquer new territories.
