Girl group ILLIT has proven its steady upward momentum by breaking its own records in Japan.

According to Oricon Japan on the 5th, ILLIT's (Yun-a, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha) second Japanese single "I Got Your Back" sold 71,009 copies in its first week of release, ranking No. 4 on the latest "Weekly Single Chart" (dated August 10; data collected from July 27 to August 2). This marks the group's highest first-week sales figure to date.

The title track has also made a strong presence on local music streaming charts. "I Got Your Back (Feat. JISOO, MOMOKA of HANA)" topped AWA's real-time trending chart immediately after release and has consistently maintained high rankings, securing positions on major charts including LINE Music Japan, Apple Music Japan, and Spotify Japan.

The upbeat music video reflecting ILLIT's signature "core" vibe has also received positive responses. The music video for "I Got Your Back (Feat. JISOO, MOMOKA of HANA)" was ranked on YouTube Global's "Weekly Popular Music Videos" (data collected from July 24 to July 30), highlighting the global interest in ILLIT. It is widely praised that the synergy created by ILLIT and HANA's Ji-su (JISOO) and Momo-ka (MOMOKA), both leading groups in South Korea and Japan, injects a refreshing energy.

Additionally, ILLIT appeared on Fuji TV's flagship morning program "Mezamashi TV" and TBS music broadcast "CDTV Live! Live!" via live broadcast on the 3rd, captivating audiences with their stable live performance skills and energetic stage presence. On the previous day (the 4th), at the major Japanese festival "Mezamashi Wangan Festival" held at Tokyo Toyosu PIT, they shared a joint stage with popular Japanese idol group CUTIE STREET, heating up the venue.

Meanwhile, ILLIT plans to connect more closely with local audiences through various outdoor performances. They will hold an album release event at the Festival Plaza on the 2nd Floor of Diversity Tokyo Plaza on the 8th and continue their comeback momentum by performing on the stage of "LuckyFes'26" on the 9th.
