Entertainment in 2003 and released their first physical single "Hug" in January 2004, which peaked at number four on the Music Industry Association of Korea (MIAK) monthly chart. TVXQ released their debut studio album ''Tri-Angle'' in October 2004, their first number-one album in South Korea. The following month, the band signed a recording contract with Rhythm Zone, a label owned by Avex Group, and released their debut Japanese single "Stay with Me Tonight" in April 2005. They returned to South Korea in September 2005 to release their second Korean studio album ''Rising Sun'', their second chart-topper in South Korea. Touted as the band's first breakthrough album, ''Rising Sun'' sold 223,000 copies and was the fourth best-selling record of 2005. In March 2006, TVXQ released their debut Japanese studio album ''Heart, Mind and Soul'', which entered the Oricon Albums Chart at number twenty-five. It was an unsuccessful commercial release, selling only 28,000 copies. However, their third Korean album ''"O"-Jung.Ban.Hap.'', released that same year, was a phenomenal success, ranking number one in various K-pop charts around Asia. It was the best-selling Korean record of 2006, selling 350,000 copies in the country. The success of the album yielded TVXQ four coveted "daesang" (grand prize) awards in 2006, including the Golden Disk Award for Album of the Year. In 2007, TVXQ released their second Japanese album ''Five in the Black'', their first top ten album in Japan. Their follow-up Japanese album ''T'', released in January 2008, became TVXQ's first Gold certified album by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). In September 2008, TVXQ released their most critically successful and best-selling album to date, the fourth Korean album ''Mirotic''. The album sold 110,000 copies in the first week, which had set a new record in album sales in South Korea, and was the first Korean album in four years to break past half a million sales. Credited as the K-pop Album of the Decade, ''Mirotic'' won Album of the Year at two award ceremonies: M.net KM Music Festival and the Golden Disk Awards. In the following year, TVXQ released their fourth Japanese album ''The Secret Code'', TVXQ's first Platinum-certified album by the RIAJ. The band was put into an indefinite hiatus in 2010 after members Hero Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun, and Xiah Junsu left their Korean agency S.M. Entertainment. Upon the expiration of their recording contract with Rhythm Zone, the label released TVXQ's first Japanese greatest hits compilation album ''Best Selection 2010'', which entered the Oricon Albums Chart at number one, becoming the first number-one Japanese album of TVXQ's career. It eventually became their best-selling Japanese record to-date with 700,000 copies sold worldwide, and was ceritifed two-times Platinum by the RIAJ. In January 2011, TVXQ returned as a duo act with remaining members U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin and released TVXQ's fifth Korean album ''Keep Your Head Down''. The album was the duo's first album to debut at number one on the Korean Gaon Albums Chart. They signed a new recording deal with Japan's Avex Trax, another label owned by Avex, and released their comeback Japanese album ''Tone'' in September 2011, which entered the Oricon Albums Chart at number one. ''Tone'' was TVXQ's best-selling studio album in Japan, with more than 331,000 copies sold. TVXQ's next studio efforts, the Korean album ''Catch Me'' and the Japanese album ''Time'' were major commercial successes and chart toppers, the latter being TVXQ's fastest-selling album in Japan. TVXQ's commercial success continues with the release of their seventh Korean studio album ''Tense'' in January 2014. Promoted as TVXQ's tenth anniversary album, the neo soul record introduced a new musical direction for the duo. According to South Korea's ''Hanteo Information System'', ''Tense'' was TVXQ's fastest-selling Korean album since ''Mirotic'' in 2008. The release of TVXQ's seventh Japanese album ''Tree'' pushed TVXQ to be the first international artist in Japan to have three number-one studio albums in a row, breaking Bon Jovi's thirteen-year record. ==Studio albums== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TVXQ albums discography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
