hallyu officially has a new star!

Kim Hyun Joong has sold more in a day than most kpop stars in a week! He was able to beat out his dead fish eyes twin Yamashita Tomohisa. This will surely break japan's favorite idol's #1 streak unless his management comes up with a strategy to bring him to the top.
At 137,774 copies he has more than double of the jpop prince's sales.
oh yeah and Oneday is #5...
oricon website
ruhroh...lolz he is even below Morning Musume, who have been struggling to stay relevant for some time now but things are looking up for them!

resent with an lj cut mods!

Date: 2012-07-05 01:32 pm (UTC)I would say SuJu is doing better than 2PM (two sold out concerts in Tokyo Dome) but 2PM is certainly in the top 2 of korean boy groups in Japan (again not counting Toho).

Date: 2012-07-05 05:05 pm (UTC)as for filling tokyo dome, you do know korea is right next to japan, right? their korean fans easily fly in and out. their korean fans probably also help buy their japanese cds (though it's not just them, i'm pretty sure every korean group's fans do that, though maybe thsk only to a lesser degree).

Date: 2012-07-05 02:00 am (UTC)I never thought that I will see the day when he breaks his winning steak. The difference is pretty big that I don't think the concert/meeting events gonna help him by the end of the week.

Date: 2012-07-05 05:30 pm (UTC)But for releasing mediocre & cheap songs, I really have to disagree with that one -- Arashi/SMAP might not known as great singers but they release good songs consistently. You can't be serious, right? Maybe your music taste is different but to say them releasing shit music is just isn't right. I mean, the production of their music (or J-music in general -- be it music, arrangement, lyrics or etc..) are better than what we got from K-Pop/most other markets in the world. :O
