CNBLUE to go major in Japan on October 19

CNBLUE [FNC Music]

CNBLUE will go major in Japan on October 19, in some two years since making their debut in the country's indie scene.

The news came through a press release by their agency FNC Music, while adding that their debut in the major scene, to be headed by Warner Music Japan, will be marked by the release of a single album named "In my head."

Their departure from the indie scene had been expected -- they had announced in the summer that they will release their last indie album "392," also the boys' second full-length album, which debuted at third place on the prestigious Oricon chart on the day of its release on September 1.

Their other releases in Japan, since their debut in the country in August 2009, had fared well on charts as well, placing as high as No. 1 on Oricon's weekly indie singles chart with their second single "I don't know why" last September to gain the reputation as one of the most anticipated indie bands to go major in Japan.

CNBLUE, which stands for Code Name Blue, has been a successful and popular band in the K-pop scene as well where they made a debut in early 2010.

The boys will hold their concert in Korea titled "BLUESTORM" which will take place at Seoul's Olympic Hall on September 17 and 18.
