KARA is more popular than your faves in Japan

[gyuri.livejournal.com]

Video Research, a Japanese marketing research company, recently did a survey on the popularity of celebrities in Japan and KARA ranked 28th.

The survey included all celebrities who work in Japan. KARA is the only foreign star in the list among popular Japanese stars, including, Aoi Yu and Nagasawa Masami.

The ranking is well known as data on directing advertisements among advertising experts. KARA is currently working as a representative for Japanese companies in various fields, including, hairdye, food and beverages, medicine, and confectionery.

Japanese advertising experts say, "We like KARA members because each of them has different characteristics. And they try hard to speak accurate Japanese."

People responded: "KARA is so popular in Japan." "I can’t believe that KARA is more popular than Aoi Yu." "KARA is amazing." I didn’t know that KARA was so popular." "KARA proved that they are popular."

KARA will start holding their concert on May 16 in Tokyo and Saitama.

And they try hard to speak accurate Japanese.
Hey, SNSD and GD&TOP do you hear that?

Working at speaking/understanding the language for all members, is the key to all these companies trying to enter mon Korean markets.

mte. honestly i kinda find it disrespectful that like 1 or 2 members in a group know to speak Japanese and others are just nodding.
and they expect everyone to fall in love with them, sell a lot and be popular.

for real.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

that's why they are the most successful ones in japan

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously. It's the only way to truly win over the domestic audience and become properly inculcated into the music scene.

No one really likes Nagasawa masami though lol.
But yay Kara! :D

[megamisama-ann.livejournal.com]

Really? Why no one likes Masami?

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Ugh I'll be honest, I can't when I see her name in the drama casting. I automaticly go "dnw". Didn't knew it was a popular opinion though.

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

i'm kinda liking nicole's blonde hair. those dresses would be cuter without the extra stuff on the back.

oh.. no Tohoshinki? =/ or did I miss something? ... they are still popular right? I refuse to believe that they aren't that popular anymore.

I knew Kara was supposed to be popular in Japan, but yeah, this is what I'm confused about.

I haven't been following them much since Lupin, but I was recently at a Japanese bookstore/record store here in NYC and they had a lot of KARA CD's and merchandise on display. Made me realize how popular they must be in Japan.

Kara my BB's!! I feel like I don't see enough of them tho.

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

Not surprising. They haven't had a Korean release in forever. All their singles and promos are in Japan. Good for them though.
