MBLAQ #2 on Oricon Chart - labeled "Kpop Monster" by Japanese press

MBLAQ's second Japanese single "Baby U!" which was released on the 26th, sold more than 22,068 copies on the first day of it's release. With this result, the boys seized the #2 slot on the Oricon chart. This album is receiving an explosive reactions from Japanese fans, also seizing #1 on the Japanese Tower Records Daily Chart before it was even officially released, as well as coming in at #1 for most ringtones downloaded on the Recochoku site for three days straight. The city of Shibuya experienced much traffic on the 25th around the Tower Records building, as thousands of fans were eager to get their hands on a copy of the new album after its release. The entire first floor of the building was decorated with various photos and posters of MBLAQ, as well as mannequins that were dressed in MBLAQ stage-dance ensembles. The Japanese press refer to MBLAQ as 'K-POP Monsters', highly praising them saying the boys are on a different level from other Korean idol groups and the five members are flipping Japan inside out. The boys who also rose to the top of their Oricon chart with their hit single "Your Luv" this past May are firmly making their mark in the Japanese music industry. MBLAQ has left for Japan and the boys will be putting on a 'high touch & bingo game' event in Tokyo, as well as Osaka & Nagoya in an attempt to promote their new album.
