Girl group ILLIT has added another meaningful milestone in Japan.



According to Belift Lab on the 30th, Lucky Girl Syndrome—a track from ILLIT’s first mini album SUPER REAL ME (members: Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha)—surpassed 50 million cumulative streams as of August and has been certified Gold in the streaming category by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). The RIAJ grants monthly certifications based on cumulative streaming counts: Gold (50 million+), Platinum (100 million+), and Diamond (500 million+).



Released in March of last year, Lucky Girl Syndrome is a dance-pop track with a playful whistle theme that captivates listeners’ ears. The song conveys ILLIT’s signature positive energy by expressing the idea of finding luck in small things. During their debut promotions, ILLIT performed this song as a follow-up to their title track Magnetic, helping drive its popularity.



This marks ILLIT’s third streaming certification from the RIAJ. Previously, Magnetic received a Double Platinum certification (200 million streams) roughly 10 months after release, setting the fastest record ever for a girl group song. Meanwhile, their first Japanese original track Almond Chocolate, released in February, achieved Gold certification in about five months—becoming the fastest record among all overseas artist releases in Japan this year.



In other news, ILLIT’s little monster music video has been selected as a finalist in the Production Design category of the 2025 CICLOPE Awards in Germany. Founded in 2010, the CICLOPE Awards are a prestigious international competition in the advertising and film production industry, recognizing works with outstanding visual quality from among numerous global entries. The winners will be announced on November 9 (local time).

The music video for little monster, a track from ILLIT’s third mini album bomb released in June, has received praise for reinterpreting the magical-girl theme with a unique atmosphere and inventive storytelling that reflects the group’s sincerity. The video was directed by two highly influential figures in the global advertising world—creative director Toshihiko Tanabe and film director Show Yanagisawa.
