omonatheydidThe seven member idol group, INFINITE, has hit Japan with a bang.
INFINITE debuted their first single, “TO-RA-WA“, in Japan on January 26th. Within a day, the song leaped to #1 on the daily charts of the K-POP section of Japan’s top mobile website, ‘music.jp‘
Also, on the J-POP daily chart that tracks the overall popular songs, INFINITE placed 19th – only seven spots behind DBSK/TVXQ, who placed 12th. With popularity usually depending on time spent in the market, the rookie team is showing their power through the rankings.
The song “TO-RA-WA” is the same as “Come Back Again” that INFINITE released in Korea – with only a title change.
Even though it was their first debut single, the fact that INFINITE was able to float to #1 on ‘music.jp’, which is a service provider in association with major record labels in the Japanese digital music market, is an impressive feat. This surprising result is gathering much interest and expectations for INFINITE from the Japanese music market.
In addition, INFINITE has made contracts for Japanese promotions with CCC, the parent company ofStar Records – a large music retail chain. The group is also developing large and thorough promotions through TV, newspaper, magazines, radio, and other media outlets.
INFINITE is planning to showcase in Tokyo on April 2nd, and they plan to captivate the Japanese fans with their powerful choreography.

they released a japanese version? but it isn't in japanese? wait what

Date: 2011-01-29 07:02 am (UTC)That's a really good point. But isn't Japan like, one of the world's biggest music industries? Perhaps companies reckon if they crack this market, they'll get more profit.
And ZEA went over to Japan relatively early in their career, and apparently their promotions in Japan > Korea, so Kfans have begun boycotting their activities in Korea. Pretty sure that's only a rare case of stupidity though.

Date: 2011-01-29 08:21 am (UTC)I wish they could stay a little longer to Korea and establish their name first since boys have so much potential and then they can have overseas promotions. But w/e i'll support them.
That's bad about ZEA, maybe bitches are just pressed but still its ridic.

Date: 2011-01-29 10:24 am (UTC)Although on a more positive note, I feel like Come Back Again might do well in Japan. It has that cheery beat that just gets your feet moving and your body grooving. At least, I do hope that they do well. I always hope they do well. Amazing rookies these guys are.
And the ranking place must mean that a few people out there love them, right? They're higher in in ranking in Japan than they are in Korea. It's amazing and yet sad at the same time.
