Flawless Winter Goddesses Awarded Gold Record in Japan

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

KARA, along with rock group CN Blue, has received Gold Record accreditation for their most recent Japanese releases.

On October 19, KARA released their fifth Japanese single titled, “Winter Magic.” Since its release it has been certified as a “Gold Album for Foreign Music” according to the Japanese Record Association.

It is quite an accomplishment to reach Gold status. Albums which sell more than 100,000 units are awarded the Gold grade. With “Winter Magic” achieving Gold, this marks the fourth time in a row that the group has attained the honor. The previous releases to achieve Gold status include: “Girl’s Talk,” the first Japanese album, and "KARA Best," their greatest hits album. KARA is extremely honored to be awarded with the Gold Record once again.

Congratulations to the talented ladies of KARA for their Gold Record, not once but for the fourth time! Keep up the great work and spreading the love of your music abroad.

hfjacfdaJAHSGD the interviews after his fights are the best :'D

Better than his actual fights, to be quite honest =D

Winter Magic isn't an album though, and all their past singles all did Gold and above Im sure. Okay maybe not Jumping.

Anyway happy for my bbs, hopefully the album will surpass Girl's Talk.

jumping sold 120k.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Kara pwnage then.

I wonder if Step would have been the better choice though?

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

I def think that step jp verision would of done better. japan would be all over another hip dance from KARA.

I'm still upset we didn't get Japan Lupin, that song would blown up as much as Mister. Anyway they're doing good but maybe lighten up on the seasonal songs and go back to something more melodic and dance-y. Imo they need another Lupin rather than Mister in both Japan and Korea.

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

nah Lupin sounded weird in Japanese. But I agree they should go in that direction. But moreso I think KARA should do variety in Japan.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. I'm still annoyed at DSP and UMJ's handling of them since Jet Coaster Love. Also Sydney Kpop showed that Kara needs to do concerts in Japan and promote more, esp outside of Tokyo. Rather than grabbing the opportunity and spreading Kara, DSP seems to be being stingy and playing it uber safe.

Oh well atleast Step was great, shame they didn't promote it enough because it could have been bigger in Korea.

such a flawless 'album'
winter magic is already my winter theme song and whisper is surprisingly addictive.

[nobodyelse-care.livejournal.com]

I feel proud for them!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Perfect gif OP !

I'm happy for them, I really like their Japanese released and Step too. Might have a closer look on previous Korean releases ^^

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

Yep! You should check out "Honey", "Wanna", "Lupin", and of course, "Mister". :D

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I already know Lupin one of my friends send me this long ago ! But it didn't make me so interested, it was too far from my music, it's funny that I changed to like things so cute like 'Winter Magic'. I'll download their albums I might like them now ^___^.

I just want a jp "Step".

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

it's included as a bonus track

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Oh - in Super Girl? I wasn't sure if it was just the regular version that was going to be included as a bonus track or if it would be a Japanese remake. I've wanted one ever since I heard "Step". :)
