SS501's Kim Hyunjoong placed first on one of Japan's largest mobile music websites, Recochoku, with his Japanese debut single.

On January 19th, Kim Hyunjoong made his debut on the chart at #1 with the Japanese version of "Kiss Kiss," making him the first K-Pop solo singer to do so. In total, 4 of his Japanese songs made the Top 20.

His ranking has attracted additional attention due to the fact that he has pulled ahead of other popular Japanese solo singers such as Koda Kumi (#7; "Brave", from upcoming Japanese album "Japonesque") and Namie Amuro (#12; "Love Story" released in December 2011).

According to a Recochoku official, "Kim Hyunjoong's 'Kiss Kiss' is being used in a Japanese CM and the song has become popular. There is high expectations for his Japanese debut album from fans."

Other Japanese tracks from his single that made the Top 20 includes "Lucky Guy," "U" and "Break Down" featuring Double K.

Kim Hyunjoong's solo debut Japanese single "KISS KISS / Lucky Guy"will be released on January 25th.
