Korean boy band MBLAQ's debut single in Japan will be featured in a Japanese animation, according to their agency J.Tune Camp.

A PR official from J.Tune confirmed with 10Asia on Tuesday that MBLAQ's song "Your Luv" will be used as the theme song for comic "Blade" which will premiere on Japan's anime channel Animax starting July 1.

"Your Luv" had held onto the No. 1 spot on Oricon's daily chart for three consecutive days as well as coming in second on its weekly chart upon its release in Japan on May 4.

It was also one of the most-downloaded ringtones on Japan's RecoChoku mobile chart and placed within the top three slots of preorder album charts in mid-April.

The five-member boy band also held special events in Kawasaki, Osaka, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Tokyo and Nagoya to celebrate the release of “Your Luv” last month.

Composed of members Seung-ho, G.O., Lee Joon, Chun-dung and Mir, MBLAQ (Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality) made their debut in 2009 with their single album "JUST BLAQ" and followed it up with their second single "Y" in May 2009.

The boys recently released a teaser video of member Mir for their first-ever concert in the country to be held at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on August 20.
