According to YG Entertainment on the 11th, Treasure obtained a gold disc 'platinum' certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for their first Japanese original single 'Here I Stand' released on March 29.
The gold disc 'Platinum' is given to works that record shipments of more than 250,000 copies. Treasure's "Here Eye Stand" surpassed 250,000 cumulative shipments within three days of its release, and sold about 320,000 units (based on YG Entertainment's tally) within five days.
"Here I Stand" is a pop rock genre song that combines the lyrics of never giving up on your dream and moving forward with a sophisticated band sound. Treasure's unique energetic vocals were added to maximize the strong message contained in the song. It was also dropped as the theme song for the theatrical version of the animation 'Black Clover's Magical Sword', which is scheduled to be released in June, and proved its powerful influence in the Japanese music market even before its release.

Treasure is expanding its base of activities around the world with its first Asia tour of 8 cities and 12 concerts since debut.
