The Japanese debut single of MAMAMOO member Moonbyul has settled into the local major charts.

Moonbyul ranked 3rd on the Oricon Daily Single Rankings for the week of February 7 with the title song ‘Hoshiakari (Hoshiakari)’ of her Japanese debut single ‘Moon Byul Japan Debut Single ’Aurora’’ (hereafter ‘Aurora’).

In particular, ‘Hoshiakari (Hoshiakari)’ even though it is a song sung in Japanese, topped the iTunes ‘Top Songs’ charts in Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, proving Moonbyul‘s popularity in the global market once again.

‘Hoshiakari (Hoshiakari)’ means ‘starlight’, and combines Moonbyul’s emotional band sound with her unique vocals. The song‘s brilliance is doubled by the addition of a hazy yet deep tone. The lyrical lyrics that compare love and eternity to light are characteristic, and Moonbyul directly participated in writing the lyrics.

‘Aurora’ is Moonbyul’s first single released in Japan. Each song contains Moonbyul‘s diverse charms reminiscent of the fantastic aurora, boasting a high degree of perfection.

After receiving encouraging reports along with her Japanese debut, Moonbyul plans to appear on many popular local radio programs to interact with her fans.
