Former AKB48 member Oshima Mai promotes MBLAQ + "Your Luv" achieves No.1 on Recochoku

[unreal.livejournal.com]

MBLAQ have been receiving a lot of love from fans since their release of their Japanese debut single, "Your Luv." They officially released the single on May 4th and entered the Oricon Daily Chart in 2nd place. Later, they achieved first place on the Oricon Daily Chart, selling an additional 11,066 units.

In addition to achieving No.1 on the Oricon Daily Chart, MBLAQ's "Your Luv" has also entered Japan's mobile music ranking chart Recochoku as the #1 ringtone downloaded in Japan.

AKB48's former member Oshima Mai have also expressed her love for MBLAQ and their debut single on her blog on May 5th.

"MBLAQ’s Japan debut song ‘Your Luv’ has been published on the 4th. They are the Korean idol group that I recommend.

In Korea, you can see MBLAQ’s fascinating and cool performance a lot. Because MBLAQ debuted in Japan, the song is in Japanese idol style.

I won’t be surprised if this song is chosen as a CM song for chocolate or snacks. I really love this song because it’s refreshing. MBLAQ sings this song with an idol-like feeling. No wonder the feeling of song is refreshing.

They will get really popular in Japan. It’s fun to also be able to see stylish MBLAQ in Japan. It is a song that is easy to be stuck in a head, so please listen to it."

Have you listened to MBLAQ's "Your Luv" yet?

You must be so proud

[seekin4therapy.livejournal.com]

Very much so, it's a crowning achievement in my life.

[angelonair.livejournal.com]

Happy to know that Mblaq is doing good in Japan.

[carrotsandroses.livejournal.com]

Makes sense. They actually bothered to adapt their sound to the Japanese market.

[cake.livejournal.com]

I agree. Most idols just debut with old Korean hits translated into Japanese hoping for the same success, but I'm glad that MBLAQ went with something new that was well researched.

[desty-chan.livejournal.com]

perfect oppas!

[hajar-a.livejournal.com]

I love MBLAQ and any other korean group who promote there ,
but I wonder why FT.Island did not get first place ?
I love their music and I looooove honkil's voice ..
anyway goodluck mblaq , :)

I think it's because FTI is taking a slower step. They debuted indie first. They're taking the band route and it's harder to get popular compared to idol groups seeing how big japan's band scene is.

They will get really popular in Japan.

i hope so!!

Mblaq did it well with 'Your Luv'. I'm really rooting for that song.

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]

Im happy they are doing well they really fit in with the market
and look like they are actually bothered about the music instead of doing old hits

[fallenfigure.livejournal.com]

glad they're doing well somewhere

They are no. 1 for the week of April 20 2011 – April 26 2011, not the latest one. It's the week before their song are released. Songs downloaded in rechochoku are usually new songs that haven't been released yet. It's kinda like the Japs want to listen to the preview of the song before it was released. My Japanese friend told me about this. If you don't believe me, here's the screencap:

And why did your comments ALWAYS want to belittle MBLAQ? I get that you're not a fan but there's no need to point out the fact they are not good or whatever. THEY STILL HAVE FANS WHO CARE.

[aishriena.livejournal.com]

Why is there soo many antis comment here? If you don't like MBLAQ, why you guys bother commenting? Got nothing better to do? MBLAQ is doing well in Japan and Oshima Mai promote them. What's wrong with that? Or maybe guys just jealous? Get a life, haters.

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy they're doing well. I love Your Luv and I'm glad that they actually made it sound jpop. Kudos
