The group A2O LITE is continuing its success in Japan.

According to the latest chart released by Japan's Oricon on the 29th, A2O LITE (Yeong, Oa, Ah-yoon, Ai-jin, Himeki, Rada, Siri, Bora, Merci)'s debut digital single 'NEON' took the top spot in the Weekly Streaming Surge Ranking (aggregation period: October 19-25). During the same period, it also jumped from No. 48 to No. 5 on the Weekly Streaming Chart, drawing a strong reaction locally.

The upward trend was also notable on Billboard Japan. In the 'Streaming Songs' chart released on the 28th, 'NEON' surged 43 spots from No. 47 to reach No. 4. In particular, it recorded approximately 5.19 million weekly plays, showing an increase of about 2.3 times compared to Oricon. This is the highest play count growth rate among songs that have charted for two consecutive weeks, underscoring the rapidly spreading popularity of 'NEON' within Japan.

Previously, A2O LITE garnered attention by simultaneously entering the top 10 on Billboard's 'Global 200' at No. 8 and 'Global Excl. U.S.' at No. 3. In addition, it has consecutively climbed to the upper ranks of major Japanese charts, expanding its influence in overseas music markets beyond Korea.

The domestic buzz continues as well. 'NEON' has maintained the No. 1 spot on Melon's TOP100 for 15 consecutive days and also topped major music charts such as Circle Chart, Spotify, and Shazam. It also claimed first place on 'The Show,' 'M Countdown,' 'Inkigayo,' and 'SHOW K-POP,' and held the top position for two consecutive weeks on 'Show Champion,' achieving a six-chart sweep on music programs. Having proven its popularity across both digital tracks and live stages, the 'NEON' craze that began in Korea is spreading to the United States and Japan.
