TWS has reached a new career milestone in Japan with its fifth mini album, 'NO TRAGEDY.' According to reports citing Oricon's latest weekly album ranking dated May 18, the album sold around 220,000 copies during the tracking period from May 4 to May 10 and entered the chart at No. 1. The achievement marks the group's first time topping Oricon's weekly album ranking, making it a meaningful step in TWS' growth beyond the Korean market.
The result builds on the strong early momentum of 'NO TRAGEDY.' The album had already gone straight to No. 1 on Oricon's daily album ranking on its first day of Japanese release, with additional daily No. 1 placements reported during the same week. It also reached No. 1 on Billboard Japan's Top Album Sales chart, reinforcing that the release is performing across multiple major Japanese album indicators rather than relying on a single chart moment.
This is especially important because Japan remains one of the most competitive and commercially significant overseas markets for K-pop groups. For TWS, the Oricon weekly No. 1 shows that its current comeback is translating into measurable demand from local fans. Combined with the album's strong Korean first-week sales and the continued attention around the title track 'You, You,' the Japanese chart result positions TWS as one of the active fourth-generation boy groups gaining clear traction across both domestic and international music markets.
