Boynextdoor's mini album 'No Genre' topped the Oricon daily album chart in Japan immediately upon its release.
According to the latest chart released by Oricon in Japan on 15th (from May 14), Boynextdoor (Seongho, Ryu, Myungjaehyun, Taesan, Ihan, and Unhak) recorded an estimated sales volume of 162,725 copies on the first day of its new album 'No Genre,' entering the 'daily album ranking' at number one. This makes Boynextdoor's fifth consecutive week at number one on Oricon, following mini album 'WHY..', mini album 'HOW?', Japanese debut single 'AND,' and mini album '19.99.'
Boynextdoor is gaining popularity in both South Korea and Japan. 'No Genre' was reported to have sold 708,558 copies based on the Hanteo chart on the 13th, ranking number one on the daily album chart that day. This figure was nearly 100,000 copies more than the first-day sales of the previous mini album '19.99.' It also exceeded the first-day sales volume of '19.99' in Japan (105,090 copies) by a significant margin. Considering their momentum and that '19.99' has surpassed cumulative sales of 1 million copies, it is likely that Boynextdoor will produce its second million-seller.
Boynextdoor began its comeback activities by showcasing the title track 'I Feel Good' and the inclusion track '123-78' on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 15th. 'I Feel Good' offered an unmissable moment with its dynamic choreography and outstanding live performance, exuding a cheerful energy. '123-78' showcased contrasting charms with a romantic atmosphere. The six members will successively appear on music broadcasts such as KBS2's 'Music Bank,' MBC's 'Show! Music Core,' and SBS's 'Inkigayo' to present their new song performances.
'No Genre' is an album that expresses Boynextdoor's ambition to make the music they want without being confined to specific genres. The title track 'I Feel Good' presents a dynamic sound that reflects the six members' confidence and bold attitude. The song quickly hit number one on the Bugs real-time chart right after its release, reached number five on Melon's 'Top 100' (as of 12 a.m. on the 14th), and appeared on the iTunes 'Top Song' charts in a total of 11 countries/regions, gaining love from both domestic and international listeners.
