Stray Kids just scored another major milestone in Japan — and the timing could not be better.

“S-Class,” the title track of the group’s third full-length album 5-STAR (2023), has surpassed 100 million cumulative streams in Japan as of September 2026. The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has awarded the song platinum certification in the streaming category, JYP Entertainment announced on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026.

It is Stray Kids’ third RIAJ streaming platinum, following “MANIAC” from ODDINARY (2022) and “CASE 143” from MAXIDENT (2022). The new certification underlines just how durable “S-Class” has remained more than three years after its release — a milestone announcement, built on streams accumulated through September 2026, rather than a new release.

The news lands right before Stray Kids take over Tokyo Dome for three nights, Nov. 6–8, as part of their “RUN IT” world tour. The Nov. 7 show will also screen live in cinemas worldwide via Trafalgar Releasing, giving fans far beyond Tokyo a front-row seat to the Dome run.

The Japan leg totals 10 shows, including Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Tokyo, and is expected to draw about 520,000 people. The group previously became the first foreign male act to hold a solo concert at Tokyo’s MUFG Stadium, in August 2026.

Stray Kids debuted under JYP Entertainment in 2018. The eight-member group now heads into its Tokyo Dome weekend with a fresh platinum plaque — and 100 million streams — behind one of its signature songs.
