JYJ is sweeping music charts in Japan.

On January 22, agency C-JeS Entertainment said, "JYJ's first Japanese single 'Wake Me Tonight' released on January 21, is receiving explosive reaction. As soon as its released, the album ranked second on Japanese Oricon Daily Chart and first on Tower Record Daily Chart and HMV 24-hour Chart, proving its popularity in Japan."

The agency added, "Unlike other artists, it was hard for us to distribute JYJ's album. So the songs were pre-released at the concerts and then it took two months to officially release the album, but the album is becoming a hot issue."

This is the first time for JYJ to distribute its album officially in Japan. Despite of many obstacles, the group's popularity was skyrocketing in Japan. In particular, its official album, 'JUST US', released in Korea, ranked first on Tower Record Monthly Chart and second on Oricon Weekly Chart without official distribution in Japan.

In addition, JYJ proved its popularity by attracting a total of 240,000 fans for its Japanese Dome Tour in April 2013 without promotions in Japan.
