Stray Kids score 3rd Japanese platinum certification ahead of Tokyo Dome concerts

Stray Kids have achieved a significant milestone in Japan, earning their third streaming platinum certification as they get ready to perform three nights at Tokyo Dome starting Friday. Their title track from the album "★★★★★ (5-STAR)," titled "Special," surpassed a monumental 100 million cumulative streams in Japan by September 2026, securing the platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), as confirmed by JYP Entertainment.

This accomplishment marks the third Japanese streaming platinum certification for the group, following the recognition for "MANIAC" from the mini album "ODDINARY" and "CASE 143" from "MAXIDENT." The recent certification arrives before their upcoming Tokyo Dome concerts, which are set to take place from Friday to Sunday as part of their "RUN IT" world tour.

The second of the three Tokyo shows is scheduled for November 7 and will be broadcast live in cinemas globally in collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing. The group's Japan tour included a performance at Tokyo's National Stadium in August, marking another notable event in their calendar.
