The group TOMORROW X TOGETHER earned a major honor at the Japan Gold Disc Awards.
According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan on Tuesday, the group’s third Japanese full-length album, “Starkissed,” was selected in the Asia category for “Best 3 Albums” at the 40th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
Released in October last year, “Starkissed” topped Oricon’s weekly combined album ranking and weekly album ranking with the group’s highest score to date. As of November last year, cumulative shipments surpassed 500,000 copies, earning a Gold Disc “Double Platinum” certification. In January, the group released the digital single “SSS (Sending Secret Signals,” featuring HYDE, a member of Japanese rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel and a solo artist, drawing a strong response.
The group has maintained steady popularity in Japan. Its fourth full-length album released in South Korea in July last year, “The Star Chapter: TOGETHER,” received a Gold Disc “Double Platinum” certification as of February. The album first earned “Platinum” certification in its release month and added the new certification seven months later. The association issues Gold Disc certifications each month based on cumulative album shipments.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER will hold its seventh anniversary special concerts, “2026 TXT MOA CON,” across eight shows in four Japanese cities — Aichi, Chiba, Fukuoka and Hyogo — in May and June. The group previously performed for three days at KSPO DOME in Seoul’s Songpa district, drawing about 33,000 attendees.
The group will release its eighth mini album, “7TH YEAR: When the Wind Briefly Stopped in the Thornbush,” at 6 p.m. on April 13. It will be the group’s first full-group album since renewing its contract with BIGHIT MUSIC last year.
