KARA selling a large quantity of albums and seizing #1 on the Japanese charts is not new news, as every song they’ve released in Japan has performed well. Their previous release, “Go Go Summer” was certified Gold by the RIAJ and topped Recochoku’s monthly chart of July. But they’ve recently achieved something unique in Japan.
KARA’s “Step” has reached the #1 spot on the Recochoku chart in Japan from the 21st to the 27th , as well as on a few different Japanese charts. What makes this Recochoku win more meaningful, however, is that the track was Korean. Having a K-pop song written in Korean and reaching the top of the charts in the Japanese market all the while competing with Japanese artists is extremely noteworthy.
Congratulations to KARA on this achievement. KARA is preparing to end their promotions in Korea to begin their upcoming promotions in Japan. Their new single, “Winter Magic” is scheduled to be released in Japan sometime in October.
