SNSD are storming their way into the Japanese market.

Recently on the 8th, SNSD released their debut single ‘Genie‘ in Japan. On the same day, their debut single placed 5th in the daily Oricon charts, making it in the top five immediately after their debut.

Meanwhile, girl group KARA, who also entered the Japanese market last month on the 11th with their debut single ‘Mister‘, was also ranked 5th place on the daily Oricon charts on the day of release.

SNSD’s single ‘Genie’ contains the Japanese track version of their previous hit of the same title, a Korean version track and finally the last track without any vocals.

In addition, SNSD will continue with promotions for ‘Genie’ in Japan before they depart for China this coming 11th for the next stop of ‘SM Town Live ‘10′ in Shanghai.

pominit, let the big girls play

Hmm, how much did they and Kara sell on the first day?

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

Kara with 9-10k and SNSD 10-11k.

I didn't think they would rank that high since they are going against groups like Arashi. Congrats to Kara and Soshi :D

[nashaa.livejournal.com]

Arashi is only ONE group lol. what other competitions are there that makes you think they wouldn't placed that high?

[sushifaced.livejournal.com]

I love Kara, but SNSD is up against much tougher competition. 5th is amazing

[malyo.livejournal.com]

This, I don't know what Universal was thinking putting SNSD against bigger names. But then again, I don't know if the same happened with Kara.

[srybutno.livejournal.com]

[dokidays.livejournal.com]

So, JYJ single and SNSD single were both released on the same date. /amused. Anyway, congrats to the girls. :D Getting the fifth spot isn't easy!

[hiddenbytears.livejournal.com]

[teahearts.livejournal.com]

[sweetemerald513.livejournal.com]

I'm confused about the second half of the post title.

[sassydork.livejournal.com]

lol me too.

[byronsbitch.livejournal.com]

I don't get how people could be "disappointed" with this outcome. Placing 5th on Oricon is not a small thing. Good on them! It takes time and a shit load of promotional work in Japan to get those higher spots. This is a great start

[end-of-fayte.livejournal.com]

wooo~lets have Soshi domination!
make Arashi run for coverr.

[tiffa666.livejournal.com]

really?
Arashi got a 200K++ for a 1st day sales while SNSD got 18K.ROFL~
Imagine being kikced like 19times in the butt.XP~

[ethereal-limbo.livejournal.com]

[dabysam.livejournal.com]

That being said, fuckin' get it, girls. Yeeeeeah~
