The Korean 9 member group with beautiful legs, SNSD sold 23,000 copies of their first Japanese DVD “SNSD Arrival~Arrival in Japan Commemoration Disc~ New Beginning of Girls’ Generation” in their first week. They will place 4th for total DVD sales on the August 23rd weekly DVD ranking. SNSD is the first Korean female group that has made it into the total (DVD) top 5. Out of people who have entered the top 5 ranking with their 1st DVDs, Korean female artist BoA placed there 7 years and 5 months ago with “8 Films & more”. Foreign female group The 12 Girls (from China) placed in the top 5 with their first DVD “The 12 Girls ~ First Premium Concert in Japan~” 6 years and 7 months ago.

This DVD consists of all the music videos up until now. 10,000 lucky fans who bought the limited edition version of the DVD are invited to their debut event showcase concert at Tokyo’s Ariake Coliseum. Also, on September 8th they will have their Japanese debut with the Japanese version of their hit Korean song “Genie”.

SNSD debuted in Korea in August 2007. The 9 members are Yoona, Sooyoung, Yuri, Seohyun, Jessica, Taeyeon, Sunny, Hyoyeon and Tiffany. In March 2009 their song “Gee” had 9 consecutive 1st place wins on KBS Music Bank creating a new record and became the top group in the Korean girl pop scene. Their popularity extends throughout Asia. They have also achieved 1st place in places like Thailand and the Philippines. They also held part of their Asia Tour in China.

SNSD won't do well in the long run in Japan after "Genie" the wota won't care anymore, I have a feeling. KARA will do better.

Damn look at Seobb's white skin in that pic. Does this dvd include the 3d mv?

[fudgesicles.livejournal.com]

Awww yay :)

[mighty-orange.livejournal.com]

I think they'll do well since they seem to be going for a niche market

What would you say is their niche market? So far all, I couldn't tell the difference.

I feel bad for all korean groups who debuted in Japan, because I believe they cannot do well if they are the first one who invadeD Japanese music..
They should thank to Dong Bang Shin Ki and BoA

[shoiryu.livejournal.com]

Combined SNSD+Kara stage in Japanese plz :3

[simpleandpink.livejournal.com]

So they're not using those awful names they picked for Japan promos now? (Hyung, Lily, Soo IIRC) Or did I miss something?

[mighty-orange.livejournal.com]

lol that. Someone put the names, written in japanese, through an online translator and that's what came up. Then some dumb news blog actually reported it, no? Thet were never going to use those.

[picklesnjam.livejournal.com]

why hasnt jype ever thought to release their artists in japan? they would earn much more money than korea and struggling in the US...

[tribblenuu.livejournal.com]

Didn't JYPE do a half-assed effort of giving 2pm a concert/promo in Japan in their 10 out of 10 days? That didn't go down so well...

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]
