SHINee’s Onew is taking over Japan with his latest release.
On October 1, Onew dropped his 2nd Japanese mini album ‘SAKU’, and it shot straight to No.1 on iTunes Top Albums chart in five countries and regions, including Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia.
The album also made a strong debut on other major charts, landing at No.10 on the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart, No.3 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking, and No.1 on the Recochoku Daily Album Ranking.
‘SAKU’ means “the moment a flower blooms” in Japanese and features five songs including the title track “Like a Flower (花のように),” “KIMI=HANA,” “Lily,” “Beautiful Snowdrop,” and “’Cause I believe in your love.” Each track carries a flower-themed story, coming together as a bright “musical bouquet.”
With his music blooming on the charts, Onew is also set to meet fans at his solo concert “2025 ONEW WORLD TOUR [ONEW THE LIVE : PERCENT (%)]” at Japan’s legendary Budokan from October 3 to 5, further proving his star power.
