Many different releases were to be found in today's Oricon rankings including TVXQ and FT Island who both took spots in the Daily single's top 5 ranking with their newest releases. TVXQ grabbed a 2nd spot just under popular boy group KAT-TUN with the release of "Winter ~Winter Rose/Duet~". The single sold 76,615 copies on its first day. FT Island, on the other hand, took the 4th spot with the release of their winter single "Distance". T-ara ranked 7th with their second Japanese single "Yayaya" and concluded the Korean releases in the Oricon daily top 10. JYP Nation also released a Christmas single, making it's way to a 14th spot with "This Christmas".

On the weekly single's rankings, After School took a 12th spot with "Diva", having sold 17,448 copies since its release last week. Infinite also keeps charting with their debut single "BTD", nearly two weeks after its release. They sold another 10,430 copies last week, which was good for a 19th place. ZE:A sold 8,386 copies of their latest single in the first week of its release, getting them to a 21st spot with "Daily Daily".


2PM's first full length album "REPUBLIC OF 2PM", fought its way to the 2nd spot, just after popular Japanese girl group Perfume on the daily charts. "REPUBLIC OF 2PM" sold 25,756 copies on its release date. Girl group KARA is still going strong with their "Super Girl" album, as it's still charting in the daily charts a week after it's release. "Super Girl" managed to sell another 15,248 copies.

In the weekly album's chart, KARA takes the 1st spot with no less than 275,206 copies of "Super Girl" sold, showing their high popularity in the country.

5k difference. Some JPOP powerhouses also released this week including Koda Kumi and AKB48 sub-unit Watarirouka Hashiritai.

Is Kara's album good? :)

I think it's a good buy since it has all their original singles on it :D

Congrats to The Fabulous Duo \o/

Why do the number of copies sold doesn't seem that amazing to me except for TVXQ and maybe KARA...?

[bunny-lita.livejournal.com]

Becasue except for them, and SNSD when they have something new out, the numbers for Korean artists in Japan right now aren't crazy good.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Because the reality is the sales are poor. Japan itself is suffering low sales anyway.

[mishi07.livejournal.com]

aside from the trio (toho, kara, snsd) korean press likes to write fiction re: kpop in japan

[miszmba.livejournal.com]

So proud of 2PM :)

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

Congrats to FT Island and TVXQ!!

I expected T-ara to rank way higher than 7th considering how well Bo Peep Bo Peep sold.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

u need to get a life

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

It's a little too early to brag about FT Island since there are no sales numbers for them yet. And 2PM in the top 10 isn't that big of a deal. I thought they'd sell more of the album considering how relatively well their singles do.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Ukiss didn't release anything....

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

They released it this week? This is about this week, Ukiss releases their song on the 12th. Keep up.

2pm!!

REPUBLIC OF 2PM!!!

[evivante.livejournal.com]

I hope 2PM sells more this weekend, I thought they were gonna sell a lot with Republic but the difference with Ultra Lover and Republic was just about a month a part and fans are probably broke after buying their shit lol. And Japan still clearly loves Ultra Lover it's not falling off the charts yet, even with a low score.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

erm how did T-ara sell more then AS??
