SHINee member ONEW dyed the Japanese archipelago with flowers.
SAKU, ONEW's second Japanese mini album released on the 1st, topped iTunes' "Top Albums" chart in five countries and regions worldwide, including Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia, immediately after its release.
Amid intense popularity, SAKU entered the worldwide iTunes album chart at No. 10 while Oricon daily album ranking placed it at No. 3 and RecoChoku daily album ranking at No. 1, marking remarkable achievements on major local charts.
SAKU means the moment a flower blooms in Japanese. It contains five songs in total, including the title track 花のように (Hana no yo ni), KIMI=HANA, Lily, Beautiful Snowdrop and 'Cause I believe in your love. Each track features storytelling related to flowers, and together they form a radiant "musical bouquet."
Meanwhile, ONEW will hold a solo concert, 2025 ONEW WORLD TOUR [ONEW THE LIVE : PERCENT (%)], at Nippon Budokan from the 3rd to the 5th, meeting fans as the album is released. Nippon Budokan is regarded as an iconic venue in the local pop culture scene, underscoring ONEW's high global standing. With a rich set list and reliable live performances, ONEW is expected to captivate both the eyes and ears of fans.
