TREASURE is kicking off 2026 on a high note, sweeping Japan’s key album charts and signaling a blockbuster year ahead.
YG Entertainment said on the 16th that the group’s third mini-album, "LOVE PULSE", hit No. 1 on both the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart and Billboard Japan’s Top Albums Sales chart for the week of Jan. 5?11.
Released last September, "LOVE PULSE" moved 1,131,346 copies in its first week, cementing its million-seller status and drawing fervent support from global fans. In Japan, the set earned Gold certification (100,000 units) from the Recording Industry Association of Japan, underscoring the group’s firm foothold in the market.
Japanese media have zeroed in on the momentum, spotlighting TREASURE’s third Japan tour and their high-profile turns on year-end music shows. The group’s live performance of title track “PARADISE” on major year-end broadcasts generated significant buzz.
Their third Japan trek, 2025-26 TREASURE TOUR [PULSE ON] IN JAPAN, sold out the moment it was announced, with additional limited-view seats opening due to demand―another reminder of their unwavering ticket power. The packed local schedule, from TV stages to the tour, appears to have fueled the album’s latest chart resurgence.
After kicking off in Tokyo last October and wrapping successful shows in Aichi, Fukuoka, and Kanagawa, TREASURE will close the Japan run in Osaka this February. From there, the tour expands across Asia, with stops in Macau, Taipei, Manila, Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur. Notably, the act returns for a third time to Kyocera Dome Osaka and levels up to Bangkok’s National Stadium, further cementing their arena-and-stadium bona fides on the 2025?26 PULSE ON tour.
