Girl group Rainbow released their Japanese single "A" last week and has achieved a new record for a debut of an foreign girl group when "A" entered 3rd in the Oricon Weekly Chart. Since the release of the single on September 14th, Rainbow has sold over 24,000 copies of their single.

Rainbow becomes the first international female artist in the last 30 years and 10 months to debut so high on the weekly charts.

In 1980, Irish female band The Nolans took 3rd place on the Oricon Weekly Charts with their single "Dancing Sister." However, this happened 15 weeks after its release, while Rainbow achieved this a week after the release of their single.

Girl groups Girl's Generation and KARA had their Japanese single, "Genie" and "Mister," reach 4th and 5th on the Oricon Weekly Charts respectively.

Meanwhile, Rainbow is set to release their 2nd Japanese single "MACH" in December.

Yay, not bad! Tbh I was expecting a little more, but this is only their debut single after all. They're getting quite a bit of exposure through TV appearances and fashion magazines so I hope Mach is going to receive even more love and attention. Wishing them all the best for their future endeavors in Japan! (Though I wish they would stop talking in this sickeningly cutesy way and act a little more mature during interviews ;_;)

Congrats to Rainbow! but despite the high ranking, the sales were far from impressive, so i think it's dumb to mention Flawless SoKA, but this is a good start :D! hopefully their sales and popularity will keep rising, I love most of their songs!

...they were only like 5k from Mister's debut. =/ And mind you that they were far less promoted than Kara during Mister's promotion. So these sales are terrific for them or any other Korean debut. They even beat BANG's debut sales and AS is more popular than them in both Japan and Korea.

Mister may have had more promotions but Rainbow got better/more effective promotions using KARA's name. I kinda followed rainbow's promotions and i don't think they were that far off from KARA's at all. Mister's debut is not exactly a standard.. it sold a little less than 5x it's debut week. Which is kind of crazy.

Happy for them!! "A" is great in Japanese as well. Their debut is the most solid recent Kpop-in-Japan debut IMO.
