Hailing from YG ENTERTAINMENT, the management stable behind global megahit artists BIGBANG and BLACKPINK, TREASURE are Korea’s hottest boyband right now. In 2020 they dominated the rookie category at numerous awards ceremonies, including the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Now they are blowing up in Japan, with the February 14 release of the full version of ‘BEAUTIFUL’, their first original Japanese-language track. This will be followed by a full major-label debut Japanese album on March 31, titled ‘THE FIRST STEP: TREASURE EFFECT’.

‘BEAUTIFUL’ was selected as the new ending theme tune to the hugely popular ‘Black Clover’ anime series, based on the Weekly Shonen Jump manga. When the first episode featuring the song aired on January 5, the hastag #BlackClover_with_TREASURE immediately topped Twitter’s global real-time trending chart. A mid-tempo ballad that shows a new side to TREASURE, ‘BEAUTIFUL’ features richly layered vocal melodies, and a level of vocal control and nuance that is way beyond what you would expect from a group of newcomers.
When TREASURE’s debut Japanese album ‘THE FIRST STEP: TREASURE EFFECT’ is released on March 31, it will be the fourth consecutive work in their ‘THE FIRST STEP’ series of releases that has already achieved over 1 million sales since the release of ‘CHAPTER ONE’ in Korea in August 2020. The album will include the Japanese version of ‘BEAUTIFUL’ as well as hits such as ‘BOY’, ‘I LOVE YOU’, ‘MMM’ and ‘MY TREASURE’, with all 13 tracks on the album sung in Japanese. A Blu-ray/DVD is also planned, featuring music videos for the Japanese versions of ‘BOY’, ‘I LOVE YOU’, ‘MMM’ and ‘MY TREASURE’, available for the very first time.
