xichigo Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 ^Glad to see it doing well in terms of preorders! Utada Hikaru is releasing her Single Collection Vol.2 in the same week. Ahh tough competition. ): Mano Erina is also releasing her second album, but I'm confident that Girls Talk can sell more. Maybe Girls Talk will be another No.2 album?

leftys_rock Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm quite sure #1 is out of reach for that week since this is Hikki's last album before her hiatus and it's a best album as well and plus it's just the Hikki effect lol. They should be able to get some decent sales for that album though, at the very least a top 5 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xichigo Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 ^Ahhh I'm going to miss Hikki so much. ): Yeah there's no chance of KARA being Hikki. KARA's #1 always slips just out of reach. First JUJU and now Hikki. =/ I'm pretty sure KARA BEST could've been a No.1 album if it was released in a different week. Ahh oh well, hopefully Girls Talk will sell well!

leftys_rock Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Me too. ;; But she's had such a long career so it's understandable. Tbh if it was just released the week after they decided they probably could have gotten a #1. :/ But provided they keep slugging away in Japan with releases, I think they can get a #1 eventually. It just needs to fall in the right week. xD Tbh, I feel like that happened with BoA in her single releases, she had a slew of #2 singles and like 3/4ths of her singles landed in the top 5 but she only got a #1 weekly once since it fell on the right week. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linny Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 32page for photobook. *tempting* I do hope KARA won't be stress out And also hope that after Jumping and this promotions are finished , they could take a break before concentrating on Korea's comeback! KARA fighting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverKARA Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't care if it too fast or not. I just want they happy and take care of their self. As long as the album goes well, Japanese love it, then its okay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PioneerLtTwinkie Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Aaahh I hope Girls Talk can be #2 just like Best Album. As long as it's dominating the pre-order charts, we can hope to see good results I want to see Girls Talk and Jumping both on the daily/weekly charts when they're released! Oh and it's definitely true that our girls being active is better than just doing nothing. But there is always a limit and boundary as to what is considered "too much". And yes, maybe the girls' schedules won't be TOO packed. That's just what I'm worried about. I don't want anything threatening their health (well there really isn't anything like that) and I'm sure they'll be busy in the upcoming months, no doubt about it. It's all on the matter of whether or not they get their breaks and rests lol. Can't wait, can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solin Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Once again, KARA is dominating pre-order chart It's very a good sign and I think this second album will do great And even probably better than their Best Album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red4summer Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 i can't think of any reason why it isn't going to sell lot better than best. i just hope it won't affect jumping numbers. wonder when they will release more info on the tracklist. 9? it'll be hard unless they surprise us again.

Chelly Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 As expected. I've seen Koda Kumi release like this, releasing a single and then her album. It works because that's how they milk money. It makes everyone's wallet's cry. I must say I would've rather they release Jumping, see how it charts for a week then release an announcement. Either way, I believe UMJ is playing their cards right. They definitely know what they're doing. Just watch and see, after KARA's 3rd Japanese album, there'll be another best but that's a long way from now. I wish the first press of their albums included posters as well, that would've been so awesome. Dang UMJ you better start releasing better first press items like NOW >=o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizuiroKaze13 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 personally, i feel that this album is definitely gonna sell more than BEST. reasons include: 1) Best Of Album only contains their old songs and in Korean too. not very tempting for some fans so =/ 2) by the time Girls Talk is being released, there'll be more Kamilias cos SNSD's releasing Gee on de 20th, so more KPop fans to the join the existing number, and plus Jumping will help get more fans too. 3) 32 page photobook - *smirks* this might encourage ppl to buy more than 1 version of de album ok u guys can add on but i'll just leave it here for now and btw, as for Girls Talk affecting Jumping's sales, dont worry!!!! of course, im not saying that Girls Talk would not pull down Jumping's sales - it just... MIGHT. but my point here is, let's all look at the LONG TERM goal instead of the short term one. with this release, even more attention will be directed at KARA, thereby gaining more fans. this will then lay down a solid foundation for KARA to eventually emerge as one of the japan's top stars. and that's wat we all want, dont we??

KaraNice Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) 2) by the time Girls Talk is being released, there'll be more Kamilias cos SNSD's releasing Gee on de 20th, so more KPop fans to the join the existing number, and plus Jumping will help get more fans too. Disagree with 2nd sentence, if there would be more kamilias it's mostly because of KARA's JUMPING single which would be released 2 weeks before this album. Plus, KARA's second Music Station, Music Japan, Wednesday JPOP appearances and other more appearances. Although KARA and SNSD are indirectly promoting each other, KARA can stand independently in Japan and they're the one who started the kpop girl group boom in Japan. I don't see SNSD's Gee (which is released a whole MONTH before this) directly affecting Girl's Talk.

yoomster Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I think Music Station will help promote Jumping and Girl's Talk a lot UMJ's going to make me broke w/ all the new releases but the photobooks are so tempting. I am happy that UMJ is putting in a lot of effort to promote Kara in Japan...I was so happy to hear Kara was ranked Number 1 KPOP idol group that the Japanese girls love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☆cherrims Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Whatever the plan is, I'm really excited! It has been ages since their second album Revolution and soon, there will be a whole lot more new KARA songs! I wonder how many songs will be included? 10? I hope there will be a ballad included too, KARA's ballads are awesome, and it would be their first ballad sung in Japanese! If "Burn" isn't a ballad, that is. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neiana Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I preordered all three versions of Jumping and now this. Hm. Gonna probably wait until the jackets are revealed and pick my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebot Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 yeah.. why are they releasing 2 albums for almost the same time.. thats ok .. its gonna be a hit for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PioneerLtTwinkie Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I really am hoping for great, new Japanese songs by them. It's great cause we Kamilias would have more new songs to listen to! lol. I can't wait for November to come. Jumping, then Girls Talk. I want to see more of Kara's success and rising popularity soon!

homosapien90 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Which source is the best? I was told CDJapan is a good source but does it offer the trading cards too? What about HMV? Is the service good? I want the trading cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the service good? I want the trading cards! I think CDJapn is a good source as well. *The first press bonus for all three versions is a trading card, and HMV, Shinseido, Tsutaya and TOWER will have their special edition trading cards. I guess trading card is included - HMV, Shinseido, Tsutaya and Tower will have special editions of their own. Darn, I want to collect the cards!
