Biscuit Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Avex are good with artists... Idol groups? *cough*TGS*cough* Not so much. Hopefully with recent awards, UMJ will pick up on the quality and promos >_______> Anywayssssssss. I can't wait for the release!

fantomas Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 List of Japanese single release on 21st March (the same date with KARA) Kis-My-Ft2 Amuro Namie DIVA (AKB48 Subunit) UVERworld SCANDAL IU Berryz Kobo OMG, this is one heck of a competiotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radenoactive Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 KMF sold 245K for the first week for their last single. So the 1st spot is probably for them. Kara might have chance to get #2 but I dunno the DIVA sales history yet (Are they new AKB48 sub-unit?).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kara might have chance to get #2 but I dunno the DIVA sales history yet (Are they new AKB48 sub-unit?).. Yeah they 're new AKB48 sub-unit. Their best selling single sold about 73k in 1st week, so if KARA got the proper promotion from UMJ, I think they can take the 2nd spot. Don't sure about Namie. Did she still sell as good as she used to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radenoactive Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 ^ Queen Namie, her singles were doing good but not as good as her album sales. Her singles sales recently sold around 50-70k as far as I remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftys_rock Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 ^Namie's last single sold 77k first week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 So there 's a big chance for KARA to secure the 2nd spot if they can sell around 100k copies Really looking forward to this single. Hope it can break 150k mark in its 1st week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimist Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wow! Some serious competition! DIVA are the least successful AKB sub-unit but they are already promoting this song and it's a tie-in to the Ultraman film; Namie doesn't sell singles the way she used to but her most recent single was her most successful in ages and has been a digital monster; SCANDAL are promoting this single a lot and it's the new theme for Bleach anime. IU is an unknown quantitiy but I think she will appeal to japanese fans but then again solo females aren't doing well in J-pop right now. I sill thnk KARA can get no.2 if they promote well and the song/s are good . I do wonder when they can start promoting though with Goddess Leader unable to speak at the moment and Nicole's injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Nicole, hope her injury is not so serious. But I think after 1 month, she can walk quiet normally (well that 's what I hope ).

rafatisd Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) I don't know if was going to posting here (since it will be released in this single) or on the Step topic, but I'll be posting here Japanese version of Step is confirmed! It was released as a ringtone today http://beta.universal-music.co.jp/kara/news/2012/02/20120222topics Edited February 23, 2012 by rafatisd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radenoactive Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 So Japanese Version of Step is officially will be included in version C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 So Japanese Version of Step is officially will be included in version C? A large chance it will Oh and based on every article about KARA 's contract with UMJ, the old contract will end in August 2012, and the negotiation still continues (with positive feedbacks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radenoactive Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 ^ Owh okay. So they will be continuing the contract? If yes, it's a win-win situation but I hope UMJ will be more lenient of the contract. I guess I just need to wait for official tracklist to come out before I edit the first post. And I wonder when they gonna release the jacket cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyxBeauty Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 So excited . Although I'm going to be so poor RAINBOW have just announced their 1st Japanese album AND their 3rd Japanese single is getting released If the release date is right for KARA I'm guessing they are going to use KARA to help promote RAINBOWs album seeing as the album is release a week after the rumored (?) KARA single. I hope they postpone the release for this single though, seeing as Nicole is injured and Gyuri will be resting after her operation, and if I'm not wrong, isn't she one of the members with the best Japanese ? And I hope they re-sign with UMJ tbh, I think they are the best, AVEX is really shady IMO, especially their CEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow 1st Japanese album will be released a week after KARA 's 6th single. And I guess it 's nothing wrong if UMJ/DSP decide to use KARA 's name to help promoting Rainbow. Rainbow already debut in Japan as title "KARA little sister" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k1s3k1 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) i hope UMJ officially announce the new single soon!! so many to order.. IU's single, KARA's single, Hamasaki Ayumi's album, RAINBOW's album Edited February 24, 2012 by k1s3k1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimngocnguyen06 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I realize that KARA and rainbow, was about going to release their cd around the same time. I was wondering why that was going to happen, since in Korea they usually never promote around the same time. But in japan they are release around the same time. I guess it because they want to use KARA success to help rainbow. I guess most artist in DSP is going to debut in japan to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k1s3k1 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 RAINBOW's single 14th March, KARA's single 21st March, RAINBOW's album 28th MArch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARAddicted.01 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 March 21st --- can't wait!! well, about KARAINBOW prom there's nothing wrong with that.. everyone does it ^.^ actually DSP is the company who does it the least, gotta say..
