Zerobaseone, a K-pop boy band, has achieved significant success with its debut Japanese single album, "Yurayura-unmeinohana," topping Oricon's daily singles chart for two consecutive days. Selling 187,694 copies on the day of its release, the group secured the No. 1 spot on the chart, which measures physical album sales.

Under a contract with Sony Music Label, Zerobaseone made its official debut in Japan with the release on March 20. The single album features the title track "Yurayura-unmeinohana," along with Japanese versions of two of the group's Korean singles, "In Bloom" and "Crush."

Scheduled to hold their first fan concerts in Japan, titled the "2024 Zerobaseone Fan-Con in Japan," the performances will take place at the K-Arena Yokohama in Yokohama, Japan on Saturday and Sunday.

Comprised of nine artists selected through the Mnet K-pop competition "Boys Planet," Zerobaseone entered the music scene with their first mini album, "Youth in the Shade," in July of the previous year, setting a new standard with their debut. Notably, Zerobaseone became the first K-pop act to achieve million-seller status on the day of their debut.
