On April 6th, girl group KARA unleashed their third Japanese single, “Jet Coaster Love“, after the original release date was pushed back due to the natural disasters that struck Japan early last month.

As soon as it was released onto the music charts, “Jet Coaster Love” instantly rose to #2 on the Oricon Chart. The incredible thing was that KARA dominated the chart without the help of promotional activities, thus proving once again their explosive popularity in the country.

All proceeds from the single will be donated to Japan’s natural disaster relief aid.

Despite issues with their label DSP Entertainment, KARA's controversy has not affected their popularity in Japan, as the group's latest single claimed the no.2 spot on the Oricon Daily Charts.

Coming in behind the popular female group SDN48, KARA's 3rd single "Jet Coaster Love" debuted at no.2, making it their highest charting 1st day single after all their previous singles debuted at no.5.

The group was able to beat other popular artists like the rock band UVERword, female artist YUKI, and the veteran female group Morning Musume.


Regardless of the single's success, KARA will be making an honorable deed, by donating all the profits from single to the Japanese earthquake victims.

too early for "even a tsunami can't stop kara's popularity" joke?
how about a "this is the sweetest, most delicious #2 ever"? .... ... .. ok bye.

I'm sorry, but aside from the actual Korean names stating who they are, there is no difference. They both look like Jiyoung. Also, if you gave Hara the same hairdo, it would be Jiyoung again. So...yeah.

Don't get me wrong, I love KARA, but I had to put it out there.

Kara's going to get their first no.1! *Hooray* Kara will most likely chart better through out the week than SDN48 will, and whilst that might be "saddening" for some, what's their to complain about considering they sold more than half the total sales of GAGA within a day... not to mention it's only their second single... So it's a win win for everyone! and *fingers crossed* Morning Musume outsell lullaby game / stay within the top 5!

SDN48 might give them competition, they have 3 handshake events this month.
