1 week ago 8

Stray Kids are setting another record in the Japanese music market. Through their second full album ‘GIANT’, they are basking in the love of local fans, proving the immense power of their influence. The album claimed the top spot on the Oricon chart’s daily album ranking on November 12, affirming Stray Kids’ popularity.

The second full album ‘GIANT’ was released about 1 year and 9 months after their first Japanese full album ‘THE SOUND’, which was unveiled in February 2022. It includes various new songs and popular anime OSTs, and the tracks produced by the in-group production team 3RACHA showcase Stray Kids’ unique charm.

To commemorate this album release, Stray Kids are hosting various collaboration events in Japan. From the launch of Suntory canned drinks to a special exhibition at Osaka’s HEP Five, and Shinkansen voice content with JR Tokai, they are increasing their interaction with fans. In Tokyo Dome City, unique events such as a Ferris wheel decorated with member visuals and an illumination tree featuring Stray Kids’ songs are unfolding, while a pop-up store in Shibuya Tsutaya is drawing fans.

Since their debut in Japan in 2020, Stray Kids have consistently ranked high on major charts like Oricon, Tower Records, and Billboard Japan, solidifying their status as a leading fourth-generation K-pop boy group. Their popularity was further proven by selling out Japan’s four major dome venues during the ‘5-STAR Dome Tour 2023’.

This world tour, starting in Seoul, is set to continue in Australia, Japan, the Philippines, Macau, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and other locations. They are particularly anticipated to reunite with Japanese fans through their upcoming performances at Tokyo Dome. Stray Kids will continue to present special stages to global fans, pursuing their musical journey.
