B2ST tops album pre-order charts in Japan

It’s a ‘beastly’ indication of their impending success in Japan - B2ST’s Japanese debut single, ‘SHOCK’, has topped the album pre-order charts from Tower Records Japan!

On January 25th, fans noted that B2ST had locked down the top two spots on the chart with their “SHOCK [CD + DVD] Limited Edition C” at #1, and “Limited Edition B” at #2.



But it’s not just their CDs that are carving niches – B2ST’s first DVD, ‘SO, BEAST – THE CLIPS’ placed 5th on the chart.

Considering how the group managed to land 50% of the slots in the ‘top 10′, many are commenting on the level of anticipation for B2ST’s powerful debut.

A representative from the Japanese music industry mused, “It’s rare to see a debut album take over half the charts. B2ST will be a top candidate in sweeping Japan as a new boy group.”

They continued, “It’s anticipated that B2ST will create another sensation in Japan, considering how they have a solid level of popularity in Korea as well.”

Last year in November, B2ST successfully held their first Japanese showcase with 10,000 fans in attendance.

Question. Does this album contain Japanese songs? Or are they the Korean songs just being re-released in Japan?

[katiewenchh.livejournal.com]

i know they recorded some songs in japanese. but there might be a mix of both japanese and korean on the album, i'm not entirely sure.

[louta.livejournal.com]

[sparklop.livejournal.com]

omg pride and prejudice and the ever so gorgeous Rosamund Pike <33

[biffyhouse.livejournal.com]

just to clarify, I do believe this album is going to be actually in Japanese. I can't find the source rn (2 glasses of wine, what can you do?) but I'm 99% certain I read that.

And anyway, they've already released Beast Is The B2ST and Shock Of The New Era in Japan. Yoseob (I think. Again, I'm not totally with it rn) also tweeted something a few weeks back about 'Japanese Shock' so I guess he meant the actual Japanese language version.

ALSO: YAY. /saves money for the version with the t-shirt.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I do too. They re-did the mv for Shock (is it going to be shock-u now? XD) so it has to be in japanese.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

Omg I'm so proud I can't even =D

[ahmtal.livejournal.com]

[streetliights.livejournal.com]

[desuta.livejournal.com]

BEAST slowly taking over the world~~ So proud ❤
and I really can't wait to hear their japanese LOL...

[girlknees.livejournal.com]

calling it an album is very misleading by the english articles - the japanese clearly says 'single'
it'll be a japanese language version of shock, possibly a B side (though i won't hold my breath, knowing universal)
but anyways yayyyy, i got version B+C!
