Okay. So? Kara has made a bigger effort/better fan base than Big Bang, so obviously they will.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

I'm glad they are being appreciated!

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I so loved their Lupin promotion <3

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

Big Bang are not that popular in Japan, right?

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

Their label likes to pretend they are.

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

They do well with selling concert tickets, cd's however, not so much.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I actually think they are. Their concerts are always packed and people know their name. People just aren't crazy and fanatical like they are about KARA. I think VIPs are known to be calmer and less insane than a lot of other big K-pop groups...

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

They have alot of fans esp among celebrities, their label is failing them, as is YG's lack of understanding of the Japanese industry.

[deeinanutshell.livejournal.com]

they do aiight. they're not KARA/SNSD level tho and obvs they don't receive nearly the same amount of love/attention as they do in their home country.

[markovnikov.livejournal.com]

so which kpop groups are actually popular in japan?? kara seems like the only one that is, idk.

[epona.livejournal.com]

kara and snsd, although kara's bigger.

[jiyong.livejournal.com]

when you take into consideration the fact that the 'best of' album is ~$40 for starters,
and has no new material on it except for a remake of a song that's almost 4 years old....
i really would hope that kara's legit album would hold its ground up against it ijs

[srybutno.livejournal.com]

this is kara's 4th week tho

[orenji13.livejournal.com]

Go get them KARA!!!!

[sodenoshirayuki.livejournal.com]

more amused at Kara slaying Perfume in total sales and their CD was only released a week earlier...

[perfume.livejournal.com]

Perfume are kinda past their high-selling era (i.e. 2008-2009). Probably because their company only lets them do stupid product tie-in/theme songs and they don't promote more like idols anymore. They tour very well, however.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I don't care...I'm over K-pop in Japan...

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

They should have fancier packaging B( that Cd was expensive

┌(・。・)┘♪└(・。・)┐♪┌(・。・)┘

[p3rk3le.livejournal.com]

they should just stay in japan tbqh. jpop suits them so much more than kpop. although Step was surprisingly good..

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

uhm no the only good song they released in japan was jet coaster love or w/e it's called

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

I thought this post was made by gyuri, disappointed rn

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Why?;_;

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

haragoooooo

[bestsama.livejournal.com]

i used to think their leader was so pretty

what happened? she look so bloated and plastic now

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Cut the mercury in your diet hun, it's making you go loony tbh.

[k0dama.livejournal.com]

there's that strange shoulder metalic thing again that SNSD was wearing.

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

even though I didn't like this album very much (Girl's Talk was so much better) this is dope. Haters can say whatever but truth is they're killing it

[nickynisa.livejournal.com]

congrats to Kara.. n they made more effort to make it into Japanese market...
Bigbang didn't promote that much in Japan tho..
