happy to be a small small small part of this success by purchasing "STEP". it took almost 2 weeks to arrive in Indonesia since my pre-order, even KARA already won MCD and MuBank, so I was happy to own this big album at the arrival. :D

as for "Winter Magic", I have optimism since the song (characteristic) is really aimed for Japan market. waiting for next no 1 on Oricon. KARA hwaiting! :thumbup:

Congrats to the ladies (: I hope their sales number continues to rise even though they have

concluded their promotions on stage. I hope 'Winter Magic' does just as good as their previous

albums in Japan! What a wonderful year Kara has had with 'STEP' =D

uhm sorry

May I ask which is the difference between HARD copy and NORMAL copy? I don't really understand this world.

they are the same which means phyiscal album, and of course they're made up of different editions.
