Seven-member boy band INFINITE's second Japanese single is on a roll, entering the top tier on Oricon's daily chart on Thursday.

INFINITE has moved 28,192 copies of their latest Japanese single "Be Mine," featuring the Japanese and Korean version of songs "Be Mine" and ballad "Julia," since going on sale on April 18, Oricon's website showed.

Being part of the album's promotion, INFINITE is scheduled to hold an event to commemorate its release at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in Tokyo on April 25.

The boys will then take their event to the Dojima River Forum in Osaka on April 27 and wrap it up at the Zepp Fukuoka in Fukuoka on April 30.

INFINITE -- composed of members Sung-kyu, Dong-woo, Woo-hyun, L, Sung-yeol, Hoya and Sung-jong -- broke into the K-pop scene with the first album "First Invasion" in 2010.

The group expanded their singing career into Japan with "Before the Dawn (BTD)" in November of last year, placing it in second on Oricon's single chart and in seventh place on the weekly chart.

In the meantime, INFINITE's promoter announced earlier last month that the boys are gearing up to make their comeback to the local music scene in mid-May.
