SEOUL, Jan. 30 (Yonhap) -- BTS’ songs "Yet To Come" and "Love Maze" have received streaming certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan, the group’s agency said Friday.

BigHit Music said "Yet To Come" surpassed 100 million cumulative streams in Japan as of December last year, earning a platinum certification, while "Love Maze" exceeded 50 million streams to receive a gold certification.

The Japanese association grants monthly certifications based on cumulative streams, with gold awarded for more than 50 million plays, platinum for over 100 million and diamond for more than 500 million. To date, BTS has earned 16 platinum and 48 gold streaming certifications in Japan.

"Yet To Come" is the title track of BTS’ anthology album "Proof," reflecting on the group’s musical journey while looking ahead to a brighter future.

"Love Maze," a track from the group’s third full-length album "LOVE YOURSELF 轉 TEAR," expresses the wish not to lose one another in a metaphorical maze.

BTS is set to make a full-group comeback on March 20 with its fifth full-length album, "ARIRANG," marking its first release as a complete group in three years and nine months.

The group will hold a comeback performance in Gwanghwamun on March 21, followed by a world tour kicking off April 9 at Goyang Sports Complex’s main stadium and spanning 34 cities worldwide.
