NAZE to make Japan debut on Sept. 14 with first original Japanese single 'I LIKE IT'
C9 Entertainment's 7-member multinational boy group NAZE drops their first original Japanese digital single 'I LIKE IT' on September 14.
NAZE, the seven-member multinational boy group under C9 Entertainment, will officially debut in Japan on September 14 with the release of their first Japanese digital single, I LIKE IT.
The track arrives across domestic and international music platforms. I LIKE IT is the group's first original song released in Japan — worth noting because they'd already built serious ground there before their Korean debut even happened.
The lineup: Kaisei, Yungi, Ato, Turn, Yuya, Gimgun, and Dohyuk.
NAZE's Japan presence predates their Korean debut by months. They appeared in the TBS drama DREAM STAGE, performed its OST, and ran local showcase tours before ever dropping a Korean record. They also performed at Tokyo Girls Collection (TGC) and appeared on local broadcasts. The fanbase wasn't built overnight.
Their first mini-album NAZE, released in May, hit No. 1 on Japan's Oricon Daily Singles ranking. That chart position, for a Korean debut record, set the table for what the group is now formalizing with a Japan-market original release.
