How are they all doing, that is the question.

INI is curently the 2nd only boygroup in Japan that isn't under Johnny's Entertainment who sold over 500K in the first week. They are the second best selling rookie group of 2021 allready altho they ust debuted 3 weeks ago. INI is also curently allready nominated for their first award and there are at least 2 more rumored awards where they are most likly nominated for.

JO1 was the 3rd most selling rookie boygroup of Japan in 2020. They sold over 1.6 million CDs so far, (+ they just released a new CD on the 24th of November so the total score could fall for 2020-2021 anything between 1.8 and 2 million most likly). They also won quit a lot awards so far, even from a Korean award show.

Orbit has the member who sligtly missed the winning group so they are quit popular among PDJ-fans but the only sold around 50K with 1 album and 1 single so far. The sales for their newest single arn't published yet

OWV is quit popular among PDJ-fans but they also didn't sold quit much. They have 4 singles and sold around 90K in total so far.

NIK is curently in Korea and apeard literally every TV show you can imagine. They have 1 single but IDK how much it sold. NIK is about to release their first full album soon but seeing the popularity drop from how much the songs of the show were watched NIK was found in vs. how much their MVs are watched so far I don't think their album will sell that much, especially since it looks like that their try to promote themself in Korea looks more like "We are just here cause Universal said so" wich means it seems to not work quit well for them

BXW only released digital singles so far and is about to release a single soon (wich is not a digital release) but I don't think that single will sell much when it comes out.

Lee Minhyuk also released his song only as digital single and since he is mainly working as Youtuber I don't think that he would release any more music in the next time since his first song is over a year ago allready

HICO is heavly working as musician but didn't sold much so far since he just has his debut song and didn't released new music since December. He has a few mini concerts and some stuff for Youtube going on but IDK if he will release a new single anytime soon.

BUGVEL just recently debuted and the MV for the song isn't out altho the first teaser apeared 3 weeks ago allready. I don't know if they will release an album to the two songs they droped or if these are just digital releases.

I don't have any stats for the other artists

Idk how I inspired you but what a great list!!!!!!

Unrelated but I want to get into Orbit, any good places to start?

Orbit has a lot great songs. The majority of songs is also partly produced by the members themself, especially June seems to write a lot of the lyrics. The group's main producer that is credited in many of their songs is Moon Kim (who was member of a Korean band called Royal Pirates) almost all songs of the group are just so good.

Orbit debuted with a full album that contains 16 songs in 2020. Later on in 2021 they released a single and yesterday they released their newest single.

Due to COVID the member were not able to film for their first album and first single together so the edits of the dance scene in the debut MV were made to look like if they would be in the same room. Everything else was shot half in Japan and half in Korea. Same goes to their first single. Because the member couldn't meet they shot one MV in Japan and a second MV for another song in Korea. The Japanese member were so happy as they could see eachother after a long time not seeing. Cause of a pre-release video MV for their newest single I think they are all curently in Korea.

Before the group debuted Yoondong and Jun made a song together called "Don't let this flop". It's OK but as far not that great as the stuff that Orbit later on released.

My personal most favourite songs would be:
