K-pop girl band Crayon Pop are hot property in Japan.

The five-member band, popular for eye-catching choreography and eccentric costumes, have sold out tickets for their Tokyo concert on January 31.

The concert is the first leg of their Japanese tour, “Crayon Pop 1st Japan Tour 2016,” following the release of their first Japanese studio album, “Crayon Pop,” on Wednesday. The album ranked 11th on the Oricon chart the day it was released.

The tour will visit Japanese cities including Nagoya and Kobe. Xport News said concerts in those cities were nearly sold out.

The band debuted in Japan last July with single “Rarirure” and released their second Japanese single, “Dancing All Night,” in November. The single albums all sold out.

The band debuted in Korea in 2012 and will reportedly return to the K-pop market in the first half of this year.
