Boy band TVXQ’s new single “BREAK OUT!” has topped Japan’s Oricon daily singles chart the day of its release.

The group’s 29th single album, released Wednesday, sold close to 170,000 copies to top the prestigious chart, easily beating out No. 2 L’Arc En Ciel who sold 33,000 copies of their single titled “BLESS.”

They plan on releasing their first best album titled “Best Selection 2010″ sometime next month.

TVXQ, who debuted in 2004 with the single “Hug”, became popular not only in Korea but other Asian countries as well. Their singing career in Japan has been a success in particular — last year, they became the first foreign artist to top the Oricon singles charts six times with their 27th single “Share the World/We are!”

Despite speculation that the group may disband with three of the five members being involved in a legal dispute with their agency SM Entertainment, TVXQ has continued their activities in Japan.

Korean idol group MBLAQ’s popularity in Japan and Korea has been on the rise since their performance at Rain’s Osaka concert over the weekend, according to a press release by their agency on Wednesday.

The quintet’s opening performance at the “Legend of Rainism” tour on January 23 and 24 caught the attention of major record company executives in Japan, J. Tune Camp said in the statement.

“We are discussing the terms in detail with several companies,” an official at J. Tune was quoted as saying. “We will work out the best possible terms and prepare their Japanese debut step by step.”

Their increasing popularity appears to have carried over to Korea as well; the group has been racking up album sales in Korea, according to estimates released today by Hanteo Chart — which uses a sampling method to predict online and offline record sales in the country.

For the week of January 19 thru 25, the group’s first single “Just Blaq” sold 2,267 copies, ranking third in weekly album sales behind boy bands TVXQ and CNBLUE. The feat may be regarded as unusual, considering it was released three months ago and the group is currently on a break, preparing to come out with a new single.

MBLAQ — which stands for “Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality” — was created and trained by Asian superstar Rain for two years. They debuted in October 2009 as the first group that Rain introduced to the public since he turned producer.
