Top singing duo TVXQ's new Japanese single has entered Oricon's daily chart at No. 1, solidifying their stance in the Japanese music market.

According to the official Oricon website, TVXQ's 35th Japanese single "Android" became the top-selling single after moving 98,500 copies on the day of its release on July 11.

The fast achievement of "Android" was predictable even before the release as it had been topping several preorder charts in Japan including Tower Records, Amazon Japan and Tsutaya.

The duo's new single went on sale in three editions and includes the title track of the same name and "Blink," a fast tempo track with strong beats.

Composed of Max Changmin and U-Know Yunho, TVXQ! made a transition from five-member group to a two-member unit before releasing the fifth full-length album, “Keep Your Head Down” in 2011.

In the meantime, TVXQ! will take part at a-nation's annual music fest, which is set to take place at the Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo on August 25 and 26.

The boys will share the stage with other K-pop artists such as Big Bang, Super Junior, 2NE1 and U-Kiss.
