UNIS' Japan debut mini album charts on Oricon and Billboard Japan as title track hits USEN daily No. 3

UNIS dropped their first Japanese mini album UNI☆Sparkle! on July 31. The numbers have been climbing since.

GimmeSummer☆ ranked 3rd on the USEN Oshikatsu Request Ranking daily chart and 5th on the weekly chart. USEN tracks music played in Japanese retail stores and public spaces, not just streaming—a distinction that matters. The album debuted at No. 4 on the Oricon Daily Album Chart and reached No. 15 on the Billboard Japan Top Album Sales Chart. B-side BBYBBY also placed in the upper tier. Internationally, GimmeSummer☆ hit No. 4 on the Philippines iTunes K-pop Chart and entered charts in Ireland, Luxembourg, and Italy.

The group's side addressed the USEN performance directly: "Consistently ranking in the upper positions of the USEN chart means that public preference is high beyond just fandom firepower." They credited sustained local activities for closing the gap with general listeners, framing the results as UNIS becoming a "public pick" in Japan.

The eight-member group—Jin Hyunjoo, Nana, Jelly Danka, Kotoko, Bang Yunha, Alysha, Oh Yuna, and Lim Seowon—is continuing Japan promotions, including a collaboration with popular Japanese character Ichigo Ichie (一期一会). USEN placement is often cited as a stronger general-public signal than fandom-driven digital charts, which makes the No. 3 daily slot the headline number here.
