HeartsToHearts Lands No. 2 on Japan’s Oricon Charts Right After Debut—Straight to a “Tokyo Dome” Stage

Goes Straight to No. 2 on Oricon… A New Pulse of K-Pop Sweeping Japan’s Archipelago

“HeartsToHearts” made its official arrival on Japan’s islands and immediately seized the top tier of the Oricon charts, displaying overwhelming presence. It’s a destructive debut that could shake up the K-pop landscape.

According to “SMEntertainment” on the 12th, the group released its first single “Iconic Heart” (ICONIC HEART) that day. The music track they pre-released on the 10th ahead of their official debut shot straight to No. 2 on the “Oricon Daily Single Chart” right after release, proving explosive demand in the local market.

The debut single features a total of three songs: the same-titled title track, plus the Japanese versions of the existing global hits “Lemon Tang” and “RUDE!”. The title track captures in detail the thrill and the rush of emotion at the moment of accelerating toward a wider world, drawing praise from music critics.

After firing off a triumphant debut finale, “HeartsToHearts” starts aggressive local promotion. Beginning with a debut commemorative live and talk event in Tokyo on the 12th, they will move into full-fledged fan mobilization.

Their next steps are nothing short of bold. Not only will they take over the stage at “Tokyo Girls Collection 2026” while touring through Yokohama and Matsuyama, they also locked in a mega-level newcomer moment by confirming a special performance at “Tokyo Dome”—the centerpiece of Japanese pop culture—for a pro baseball special game.
