2PM's Ultra Lover has been on the weekly singles chart ever since it was released.. wonder when the Japanese are gonna get tired of that song. Not complaining though ;p

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

they should be buying Republic of 2PM instead =/

[purinchun.livejournal.com]

Well RO2 was at #4 on last week's weekly chart with 50265, kinda sad it went down so much for the second week

[foolish.livejournal.com]

I hope U-KISS does well, I haven't been this addicted to a song since Super Junior's 'Sorry Sorry'.

[foolish.livejournal.com]

Wait, I lied. I loved T-ARA's Roly Poly. Still love it!

Super Junior takes the lead for Korean releases in the weekly single charts with their single "Mr. Simple". They sold 88,973 copies of the said release, making it to the 2nd spot on the rankings.

it kinda seems like the people who went to their concerts in osaka also purchased their single.

So proud of u-kiss! Now they hopefully will keep selling! Tick Tack is a good song! Or I think so anyway! ^___^

[wooso.livejournal.com]

Japan loves oooltra luver
but how about RO2 ? it is such a good album you know

[purinchun.livejournal.com]

On last week's weekly chart RO2 was at #2 with 50265. Not sure how they sunk so much for the second week. >_>

[purinchun.livejournal.com]

I mean #4! omg i can't type sorry

[donglover.livejournal.com]

RAINBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

so proud of u-kiss, but lol @ 4minute. cube needs to realize that japan doesnt want them

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Not many wants them to be truthful. Something is missing in that band and I can't pinpoint what exactly. I could say good songs, but other girlbands are doing fine with crappy songs too :/.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

true.

[cast-no-shadow0.livejournal.com]

But sadly since Japan is the 2nd biggest music market in the world, I think Cube will continue to promote 4minute there, because a flop in Japan still generates sales.

But I wonder if 4minutes do any shows in Japan? I know they've been to a few places because of United Cube, but I think they are only able to do that because of Beast's popularity...

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

they were on music station a few times iirc
but japan doesnt have a lot of variety shows/music shows for idols though so they cant promote on TV a lot

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

why is plopminit still releasing in japan lol

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

They must be making some sort of a profit. I've seen plenty of groups go on for years with much worse sales.

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

Pominit sold even less than BoA...

[deaaan.livejournal.com]

sad rainbow is relatively low on the charts since mach is amazing and flawfree but lol phominute slut what're ya'll doin'

[lustre-city.livejournal.com]

ia. mach is a great japanese song imoand rainbow is awesome. 4minute on the other hand...

[lachatagirl.livejournal.com]

4minute always sells the same as these groups do first week after some time so it's OK. It just goes to show that DSP is buying RAINBOW singles. They fell out of the top 40 so fast. They will never be KARA no matter how hard they try.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

it's funny how the release week can change the spots, AS also had the same number of copies sold but where in such lower rank, my poor girl TT__TT, they are actually doing pretty well in japan but since they are not taking high spots korea doesn't even care to make a fuss about.

and get it 2PM!

[thomaswilmoore.livejournal.com]

leave 4minute alone #chriscrockerfeelings

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Oh SHU-I!!!! Doing a lot better in Japan I see :).

UKISS! Yay \o/. Kara forever proud <3

[yunchunnified.livejournal.com]

TVXQ, KARA, THE BOSS. all i saw :)

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

really surprised 2pm's album sold so poorly given how many singles they can move. it's like they're a Johnny's group or something.

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

do johnny's groups not sell a lot of albums?

[oncloud999.livejournal.com]

Other than Arashi, most Johnny's only sell REALLY well in singles chart. It's not like their sales are bad, but Johnny's albums tend to be pretty average.

[kakkoi-x.livejournal.com]

lol ah ok thx cuz as far as i rmbed arashi sells a shitload of albums..xD

[lustre-city.livejournal.com]

don't forget smap

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

4Min needs to get out of Japan and just be fierce in Korea tbqh.

[dangaodekuazi.livejournal.com]

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

Ukiss looks like they'll also have a respectable week
