Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts have made history in the United States, becoming the first Japanese artists to earn RIAA Gold certification for two Japanese-language songs. “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” and “Otonoke” have each surpassed 500,000 units in the U.S., marking a rare milestone for non-English-language hip-hop in the American market.
“Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” has surpassed 900 million global streams and reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Global 200, while “Otonoke” was named the most-streamed Japanese song overseas in 2025 according to Billboard Japan and Spotify year-end data. The sustained performance of both tracks underscores the duo’s growing international reach rather than a single viral moment.
In tandem with the achievement, vinyl pre-orders for their latest album ‘LEGION’ have launched in the U.S. and Japan. Designed for analog playback, the release features mixing and mastering from Alex Tumay and Mike Bozzi, emphasizing low-end depth and dynamic range for collectors and audiophiles.
Creepy Nuts will support the milestone with their North America Tour 2026, including two Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival appearances and headline dates in New York, Chicago and Mexico City.
