According to YG Entertainment on the 6th, "U," a song from TREASURE's Japanese album "THE SECOND STEP: CHAPTER ONE," topped the Line Music Weekly Chart (202.03.30~2022.04.05).

"U" is a sophisticated, easy-listening song of the pop genre, featuring the TREASURE members' sweet tone and graceful falsetto singing. The trendy MZ-style serenade that conveys TREASURE's heart for fans has captivated Japanese listeners with favorable reviews.

TREASURE took first place on Line Music's weekly chart with the Japanese version of their hit song "JIKJIN," which was dropped before the album's release. It was a splendid achievement following the fact that a Korean song had already taken the top spot in Japan's major music charts about a month ago.

Although TREASURE is not actively promoting overseas, not only the title song but also the b-side songs are equally loved among music fans and are continuing their great momentum.
