On Thursday, Oricon's daily chart revealed that CNBLUE's album "In My Head," which went on sale in the country on October 19, sold 34,280 copies to come in third place following behind popular Japanese artists NMB48 and BUMP OF CHICKEN.

CNBLUE also held a guerilla concert on Wednesday to commemorate their official debut into the major music scene in Japan at the Alta in Shinjuku, Tokyo which attracted over 7,000 fans.

The boys will promote "In My Head" with special events and performances at Osaka and Tokyo on October 22 and 23, respectively.

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 quartet will also embark on a nationwide concert tour in Japan this December with shows at the Zepp Sendai, Zepp Nagoya, Zepp Osaka and wrap up at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
