Chai released their debut studio album '' Pink '' in October 2017 , reaching number 41 on Oricon 's albums chart ( however , it was the fourth highest selling independent release on the week ) . '' Pink '' was well received by critics , being chosen as one of the 10 finalists at the 2018 CD Shop Awards , an award chosen by record store staff from across Japan . In February , '' Pink '' was given a US release by Burger Records , who signed Chai after being impressed by their music video for " Boyz Seco Men " . Chai had decided from very early in their careers to pursue music globally , and they considered it strange that many Japanese musical acts only focused on selling music domestically . The band completed their second tour of the US in March . In the UK , Chai were signed to Heavenly Recordings , and toured the country in October as a support act for Superorganism
