Popular idol group B1A4 is being met with an explosive response after releasing their first Japanese debut single, ‘Beautiful Target‘.

B1A4 made their official debut in Japan with ‘Beautiful Target’ on June 27th, and on the same day of release, the group ranked within the top 5 on the Oricon Chart with famous Japanese boy band KAT-TUN and Girls’ Generation. In addition, the boys have also stolen the top 3 spots on Tower Records‘ daily rankings, Japan’s largest music portal site.


A representative of their agency stated, “We’re surprised by the fact that B1A4 ranked within the top 5 on the Oricon Chart despite being a foreign rookie group, and a group that hasn’t begun promotions in Japan. Representatives in the music industry and fans are showing high interest in their next move.”

The B1A4 members also shared their thoughts: “We’re very happy to be able to debut in Japan. We’ll work harder to become a better group in order to receive much more love from fans.

Meanwhile, B1A4 will be heading over to Japan this weekend for a handshake event at the Tokyo Big Sight on June 30th. The group will then officially greet fans at their debut event, which is being held at the Lazona Kawasaki Plaza on July 1st.

Won't this be one of the least selling Korean boy group debuts though?

The other boy groups that debuted were already much more established than B1A4. 2PM, BEAST, SHINee, Infinite - all had large fanbases before debuting. B1A4 is still a rookie group, so this is impressive.

I don't know anything about this but from what I have talked to people about it and they follow this sort of thing, they have said it's actually really good for them being a rookie that only debuted a year ago.

But really we will see at the end of the week how well it has sold

Don't waste your time bb.
She's just a troll who got banned from arama or something.

Oh I know. I'm counting down till she's banned here tbh. :) Thank you though. <33

I'm not even sure she'll get banned tbh.
She already broke most of the "rules" yet she's here so... ignoring her is probably the only solution.

I'm proud of my boys. I honestly didn't expect them to debut in the top 5. I'm sure WM and Pony Canyon will be happy with that. Once they start their promotions I think their sales will increase.

It's their Japan promo pic, so all the articles use it... idk. I agree though.

I wish we could see what their sales were for the second day... I'm so curious. Lol. Proud that they maintained their position though.

I do too. I wonder what their weekly sales are going to be. Aren't the boys flying to Japan today? Or did they leave already?

They're leaving after Music Bank today. They're performing this week since it's the Half Year Special.
