Kanji God Addon: Wrong reading of 旭日

The word reading of 旭日 in the Kanji God Addon is あさひ. I believe it should be きょくじつ. 旭 by itself can be read あさひ, but I have never seen 旭日 being read as あさひ (in the same way 朝日 is). I did a ChatGPT search just to make sure: Some dictionaries or tools might simplify or conflate the readings because 旭 alone can be read as あさひ, and because in names (like Asahi Shimbun / 朝日新聞), that reading is familiar and frequent. But 旭日 should almost always be read as きょくじつ, especially outside of poetic or rare contexts.
