NiziU celebrated their 5th anniversary on December 2. NiziU pre-debuted in June 2020 after the audition project 'Nizi Project' held by Sony Music and JYP Entertainment. They made their major debut on December 2 of the same year with the single 'Step and a Step', achieving the remarkable feat of appearing in the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen just 29 days after debuting. Since then, all their released songs have become hits, and their first solo tour 'NiziU Live with U 2022 “Light it Up”' sold out immediately upon general ticket sales, marking the fastest dome concert by a Japanese female artist in Tokyo and Osaka (as of 2022), and they held their first stadium concert at Chiba's ZOZO Marine Stadium. In 2023, they made a long-awaited debut in Korea, achieving number one on local music programs, showcasing their unstoppable momentum. Recently, on November 19, they released their 3rd album 'New Emotion', which achieved a triple crown on major weekly album charts including 'Oricon Weekly Album Ranking', 'Oricon Weekly Combined Album Ranking', and 'Billboard JAPAN Weekly Album Sales Chart “Top Albums Sales”'. This marked their fifth number one on the 'Oricon Weekly Album Ranking', achieving the remarkable feat of having five consecutive number ones from their first album by a female group, a milestone not seen in 6 years and 7 months, making them only the second group in history to do so. NiziU has dominated the music scene from 2020 to the present, leaving a vivid presence in many people's memories. They are highly regarded for their performance skills and have been active in various non-artist activities in recent years, celebrating their 5th anniversary. On their debut date, December 2, they streamed a 5th anniversary live 'NiziU 5th Anniversary Special with U' on their official YouTube channel. Members shared episodes from their activities, memorable moments with fans (known as WithU), and expressed gratitude, creating a joyful atmosphere. They also performed the fan song 'Light it Up', which they wrote, conveying their inner struggles and messages of gratitude to fans and each other. This performance was a delightful surprise for fans, especially since the audio was released on YouTube prior to the stream. Starting in February next year, they announced a nationwide arena tour in five cities, further energizing their activities. As they enter their 5th anniversary year, their continued success is eagerly anticipated. Additionally, to commemorate their 5th anniversary, music videos for all previously released songs are now available on various music streaming sites, allowing fans to enjoy their journey through these videos.
