Number_i (Doc. Ist)

JAKARTA - A Japanese boyband, Number_i has again caught the attention of fans around the world with the release of their shocking deluxe album, "No.I (Deluxe)". This special edition of their debut album, which was released as a sign of gratitude to fans, features all 13 original songs plus songs recently released "HIRAKEGOMA".

"HIRAKEGOMA ()", which means "Open the door", is inspired by the eternal story of a Thousand One Nights. In this classic story, the word "HIRAKEGOMA" opens a secret cave full of treasure, and the phrase has since become a part close to Japanese culture.

In Japan, "HIRAKEGOMA" is often used in everyday conversations as a humorous expression for magical or lucky results. The phrase conveys the idea that certain words have the power to create extraordinary possibilities, such as "abracadabra" in English.

The lyrics of the song reflect the theme of unlocking this potential, as seen in rows such as, "Adding 'i' onto the horizon".

This lyrical touch emphasizes Number_i's close ties with its fans, iLYs, on a journey together towards growth and discovery. The tracker "HIRAKEGOMA" is now available on the official YouTube channel Number_i, offering a striking visual accompaniment to the theme of the song.

Since debuting on January 1, 2024 with the single "GOAT," Number_i has reached an extraordinary milestone. Their debut album "No.I" topped the Japanese Album JP Billboard and reached #4 globally on the TOP ALBUMS DEBUT GLOBAL Spotify charts, sold more than 400,000 copies.

The group has also attracted global attention with performances at major events, including Coachella 2024, where their songs "GOAT" go up to #10 on the All-US iTunes Charts and #3 on the Hip-Hop charts. Currently, Number_i will shake fans across Japan with the "Number_i LIVE TOUR 2024 No.I" which tickets are sold out and will appear at the 75th prestigious event of NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
