BILLLIE
The group BILLLIE targets the Japanese archipelago.
BILLLIE will release her first Japanese mini-album, “Knock-on Effect“, on February 7, 2024. BILLLIE’s return to Japan comes approximately nine months after the release of its first single, “GingaMingaYo (the range world) – Japanese ver. –“, in May and pre-orders for the new album began on December 22.
The first mini-album, “Knock-on Effect“, will feature five Japanese versions of BILLLIE’s single “DANG (hocus focus)“, “BYOB (bring your own best friend)“, and “RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)” and “GingaMingaYo (the strange world)“, including the original Japanese song “DOMINO ~ butterfly effect – Japanese version –.”
Particularly, as BILLLIE possesses unparalleled musicality with new concepts, music and performances every time she returns to Korea, the title song of its first mini album, which will be released this time, is also expected to communicate with local fans with music and performances with another concept that BILLLIE has not presented so far.
BILLLIE published an official photo on her social networks as well as the news of the release of her first mini-album in Japan. In the posted photo, the BILLLIE members wear chiffon outfits in a space that’s both dreamy and vintage. Particularly, members attract attention by showing off their fairy-tale visuals with butterfly-shaped styling.
Previously, BILLLIE, as a debuting group, was ranked second in the overall sales of Tower Records, Japan’s largest record store, after its debut single sold more than 25,000 copies. The Japanese version of the title song “GingaMingaYo (the range world)” also achieved the feat of entering the Oricon Daily Single and Weekly Ranking No. 3 and Rakuten Music Real-Time Ranking No. 3 immediately after its release . BILLLIE was then officially invited to the LIVE ACT of Japan’s biggest fashion show “Kansai Collection 2023” held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka in August, and expectations are also high for her Japanese activities.
BILLLIE will release its first mini-album “Knock-on Effect” in Japan on February 7, then hold a concert show “Billlie SHOW-CON “Domino Effect” IN JAPAN” in Tokyo and Osaka on February 9 and 11 respectively.
