[News] KARA’s “Girl’s Talk” goes platinum in Japan

KARA has become the first ever Korean girl group to sell 250,000 albums in Japan!

According to the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), the girls’ first official Japanese album, “Girl’s Talk,” was certified platinum on January 14th. The album was released in November of last year, and recorded tremendous achievements within its first week of release, as it sold 100,000 copies. The album made KARA the first international female group to hit the mark after seven years, and they’ve ranked on the Oricon top 10 for a total of seven weeks.

“Girl’s Talk” is still selling well, and it’s expected that the girls will reach 300,000 in sales very soon. Their other singles, “Mister” and “Jumping“, have both reached ‘gold’ easily selling 100,000 units as well. Indeed, KARA’s “Mister” single reached platinum in digital sales with 250,000 downloads late last year.
