Japan's first radio program linked with the voting function of the K-POP idol support app 'IDOL CHAMP', 'K-STAR CHART presents POP-K TOP10 Friday' (TOKYO FM).

On the broadcast of Friday, June 5, 2026, Kurumi and Harin from KIIRAS appeared as guests.

Also, in the chart voting on the same day, BTS's 'SWIM' won 1st place and was introduced on the program.

Kurumi & Harin from the multinational group 'KIIRAS', celebrating their 1st debut anniversary, appear! This week, Kurumi and Harin from the girl group 'KIIRAS', which celebrated its 1st debut anniversary last month on May 29, made a guest appearance online from Seoul!

Derived from the Korean word for 'Energy' and the English word 'Rascal', KIIRAS is a multinational group composed of members from three countries: South Korea, Malaysia, and Japan. They looked back on their turbulent first year with a smile, saying, 'It was a series of thrilling and exciting firsts. Being on stage is the most fun!'

Their new song 'TA TA' is a free and positive girls' party! The title of their 2nd single 'TA TA', released last month on May 6, comes from the Portuguese word for 'OK'. The song embodies a positive mindset of 'This space is our freedom, whatever we do is completely OK!', making it feel like a festive track unique to them.

Main vocalist Kurumi shared a behind-the-scenes recording story, saying, 'Unlike our previous songs that focused on high notes, this time we challenged ourselves with low raps and new tones. It was difficult because the genre was different.'

Future goal: 'Number 1 on a music show!' Speaking about their future goals, the two strongly stated, 'To win 1st place on a music show!' Armed with their mischievous energy, we can't take our eyes off KIIRAS's activities as they push forward into their second year!
