Rookie idol group TOUCH is consistently working their way up the Hallyu ladder in Japan.

On August 7th and 8th, TOUCH performed at the 'K(J)-Pop Summer Live' concert in Kobe and Hiroshima alongside popular groups like Smash and The Boss. Despite being amid already established groups, TOUCH earned an enthusiastic response from the audience at all three concerts over the course of two days. Over 1,000 fans are said to have attended each concert.

In addition to their on site popularity, TOUCH has also been revealed to be ranked 9th on the Hallyu popularity chart on a popular Japanese blogging service called 'Ameblo'.

This is just the start of many more promotional activities to come for TOUCH, as in September, they'll be kicking off a solo concert in Tokyo along with various fan signing events.
