Four-member band BILLY BOO commemorates the release of the single "Rhapsody" released on June 4th! CD shop campaign confirmed!

“BILLY BOO” is a four-member band from Sendai formed in May 2024.

To commemorate the release of the single “Rhapsody,” which will be released on Wednesday, June 4th, a CD shop campaign has been decided.

“Rhapsody” is the ending theme for the TV anime “The Mystery Solving After Dinner” and was released on April 11th.

Starting April 23rd and April 30th, he won the top spot on “JAPAN Heatseekers Songs” for the second consecutive week, winning push songs (power plays) from 57 stations nationwide.

Despite being released, it was first made appearance on the Billboard JAPAN general song chart “JAPAN Hot 100” (on April 9th) at number 77, and was an unusual achievement, making it a chart-in before it was released. After the release, the charts continued to rank 45th on the Billboard JAPAN general song chart, “JAPAN Hot 100” and 13th on the Billboard JAPAN Hot Animation. It has been a hot topic, with the RADIO ON AIR CHART (April 9th and 16th) taking the top spot nationwide overall.

We can’t take our eyes off the future success of the most popular band, BILLY BOO, in 2025.

Check out the details of the CD shop campaign commemorating the release of the single “Rhapsody” released on Wednesday, June 4th! Please come and visit our store.
