TXT, RIIZE, and TWICE's MISAMO Score Platinum Certifications in Japan
Following RIIZE's successful world tour finale, the group joins TXT and TWICE's MISAMO in earning official platinum and gold certifications from Japan's recording industry association.
Just days after RIIZE wrapped their world tour at Seoul's KSPO Dome, the group has another reason to celebrate. The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) announced new certifications that highlight the strong Japanese market performance of several K-pop acts.
TXT leads the pack with their latest Korean album "The Star Chapter: TOGETHER" earning double platinum certification for shipping over 500,000 units in Japan. The achievement marks another milestone for the group's consistent success in the Japanese market.
RIZE also secured platinum status with their releases, adding to the momentum from their recently concluded world tour. The certification comes as particularly good timing for the group, who just delivered their finale performance at one of Korea's premier concert venues.
TWICE's sub-unit MISAMO rounded out the certifications with gold status for their Japanese releases. The trio continues to prove the enduring appeal of TWICE members in solo and unit projects.
The RIAJ uses specific thresholds for their certifications: albums reach gold status at 100,000 units shipped and platinum at 250,000 units, with double platinum requiring 500,000 units. These physical shipment numbers reflect strong retail demand and fan support in Japan, one of the world's largest music markets.
For RIIZE specifically, the platinum certification provides additional validation of their global appeal. The group's ability to achieve significant sales in Japan while simultaneously completing a successful world tour demonstrates their growing international presence.
Japanese certifications have become increasingly important benchmarks for K-pop artists, as the market represents both significant revenue potential and cultural crossover success. The latest batch of certifications shows how groups like TXT, RIIZE, and TWICE continue to build sustainable careers beyond their home market.
These achievements reflect the continued expansion of K-pop's reach, with multiple generations of artists finding success simultaneously across different markets and formats.
