I love to see them on oricon everyday for the past 1 month.. On the other hand... isn't that Ninki prediction for SNSD album abit on the low side?

♫~♪Mr.Frosty♪~♫ Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) @tinaomina yeah it is low but all predictions for this week album and singles are super low, don't know why but they are. For the next two weeks no weekly figures but Oricon will post daily numbers. @MizuiroKaze13, nope not normal at all, usually near Christmas and New Years sales get a big boost, but the predictions for this week are just strange for being so low. Even Hamasaki Ayumi's prediction is low. Edited December 21, 2010 by atl2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizuiroKaze13 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 lol i prefer having the daily numbers actually. so that we can see the sales pattern clearly (but what about the weekly boost??) and maybe Hoot's numbers are low cuz snsd wont be promoting it much?? anyways, i think GT remaining in top 10 for its 4th week (im talking about weekly chart here, not daily) is gonna be hard cos there's so many new releases though they'll have no problem remaining in the top 15. j-pop experts, is it normal for releases to sell less towards the end of the year?? it's kinda strange to me lol.

archrypthix Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 ^Maybe because it's christmas season btw, thx atl2006 for update sale KARA had surpase 500k, awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig3head Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) GT will get 14k--16k sold and it may hit 200k in total with Christmas day sales help this week. Edited December 21, 2010 by pig3head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimngocnguyen06 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I think with music station festiva, the girls would hit 200k by christmas. The girls have to sell about 15088, to beat the 200K mark. They would hit that, since they hit 18k this week, I don't think it going to fall that much, and with music station this week, it could help with the sells. So then the girls would hit 200K within one month, that would be a big accomplishment again. Yeah the girls hit 500K is sells, that amazing. They are defintely head toward platinium for this album. I hoping that they can do it, and get another platinium under belt. I can't believe it, they are still in the top 10 weekly that is amazing. Hopefully they can still in the top 10 for their fifth week, but still i don't think so top 15 yes, but top 10, I don't know. Usually the american foreign doesn't do well on the chart, and we always know which one is going to hhit number one. What would be weird, would be like exactly what happen with 4minute and KARA. KARA rank high then SNSD on the chart, but I know that not going to happen. i think the ranking for Hoot is low because it their korean album, not a japanese album, so it could be low. Do you think hoot can hit 100k in one week like KARA can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsoangelic Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) ^The japanese release will be luck to get 100k in total sells. The limited edition with the dvd of their showcase is the only real selling point. The import versions of their albums have been available for a while, have charted on oricon, and are alot cheaper than this release (1400 yen vs. 2500,3200,3900 yen). Also the three editions with any bonus content not on the import are limited. I wouldn't be surprised if KARA stays around the top 10. Sales are going to be low next week especially for singles. Speaking of 4minute, they ranked 27 with 5,280. I hope there's no surprise competition for Ayumi Hamasaki during next week. We don't need GUILTY part2.

donnyhuang Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 first i dont want to compare with other group just for reference u guys know 2pm release dvd right on 24 nov and charted 4th on oricon weekly dvd rank and 2nd week their sales drop alot people assume that japanese people purchase the dvd just want to get "ticket concert" 2pm at 8 dec now snsd hoot japanese version i agree with notsoangelic, selling point is their showcase at ariake stadium but snsd fanbase is huge, i think a lot people will still purchase this album (outside japan??) once again, i not compare with other group just my opinion --- btw ikimono, hikki, fukuyama still strong in oricon chart and Kara still follow them in chart so lets hope Kara still at top 10 and hit 200K before 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisac0 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 500,000+ sales?? Thats amazing!! Is KARA the first korean girl group to do that? This is gonna be close. I heard snsd is releasing 2 albums on Dec 22 and 23. What are our chances of staying ahead of them in total sales in Japan before the end of the year? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsoangelic Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) The Oricon year is already over so whatever they sell goes on to next year's chart. (KARA has double their sales if you don't count their dvd anyway; about 125k+ 110k = 235.) The other cd isn't going to be released until Jan 7 in Japan and it's only a concert cd. @donnyhuang I'm sure at least some portion of their sales are coming from overseas. Gee dropping from 28k to 12k second day shows they are getting alot of preorders. I do think this cd will be like the 2pm dvd. There is no info on the amount that the editions are limited to, but once those are sold out all that's left will be the regular edition which is just the import at 400 yen more. This release will drop quicker than their other japanese releases. Back on topic, KARA should definitely hit 200k next week even if there is no music station effect on album sales. I see another digital spike coming. Edited December 21, 2010 by notsoangelic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archrypthix Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) ^ Sorry, i am curious... How much average a cd price in japan? A japanese release and the imported korean release. is the imported korean cd price aroand 400+ yen?? Edited December 21, 2010 by Hendry Ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsoangelic Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) To get an idea on exchange rates, 100 yen = over $1 US dollar. On average japanese singles are about 900 to 1200 yen for cd only 1500 to 1800 yen for cd + dvd For full albums the prices range from 2800 to 3300 yen for cd only 3400 to 3800 yen for cd + dvd Depending on what extras(concert dvd, tshirts, photobooks, etc) the cd has, the price can go up. As I mentioned in a previous post the Korean import is 1400 yen (about $16) vs. the regular japanese edition is 1800 yen (about $20). The content is the same.

pig3head Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) GT sales 推移（sales number evolution） is amazing, it just refuses to drop too much week after week. Over 250K is my prediction and the sales number will go like this 10.7 -> 3.5 -> 1.9 -> 1.5 -> "about 1.0 for few weeks" -> "stay above 5k for a few weeks". One more important thing is that GT is growing new fan for KARA. Next time KARA releases good music product, they will buy again!

♫~♪Mr.Frosty♪~♫ Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) #10 Kara---still in the top 10! My prediction of around 19k last week was right, so i predict around 15k this week. I bet you that Kara gets into the top 5 this week!

tinaomina Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) Yeah its number 10 today.crazy huh. Top 5? Hmm ... highly possible.... *1 70,609 浜崎あゆみ *2 21,271 少女時代 *3 *7,305 BUMP OF CHICKEN *4 mothy 悪ノP feat.鏡音リン，鏡音レン *5 いきものがかり *6 Mr.Children *7 宇多田ヒカル *8 神聖かまってちゃん(つまんね) *9 神聖かまってちゃん(みんな死ね) 10 KARA Haven't post this for long time haha... after first week GT.. however I noticed that the usual 2ch thread about new album is not around anymore!! Anyone knows where it went? I predict SOshi will sell 45-50k. Based on Gee sales, they have a higher drop after first day , Gee went from 28k -> 12k ( presumably because they have high orders on internet.)

♫~♪Mr.Frosty♪~♫ Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 With Girls talk only 15k away from 200k in sales, I was wondering how many have they shipped. Two weeks ago UMJ shipped 180k, Riaj certification is for the number shipped so could that mean that Girls talk has already shipped 250k, the next Gold and Platinum certification comes out January 10th for the month of December. It seems that Kara could have another Platinum next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig3head Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Anyone know why Kara weren't invited to the 52 japan record awards? very strange seen as they topped snsd and bigbang yet they were invited. The invitation is not based on only cd sales number. And I don't think being there or not is a big deal for KARA. KARA is NO.1 rookie in 2010 based on both oricon.com(cd&dvd sales) and recochoku.jp(digital sales) Stat. But it is a little bit disappointed that they both do not hold any award ceremony. BTW, looks like record-award sent out invitation before KARA released GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before UMJ( or UMJ forgets to) gives RIAJ money, RIAJ will not give KARA any ceritfication no matter how many KARA's cd sold. As I said before, GT will get over 250k(oricon number) sold finally.

nhung_gemini Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Anyone know why Kara weren't invited to the 52 japan record awards? very strange seen as they topped snsd and bigbang yet they were invited. I believed it was the reward that SNSD got the best rookie award, and kara got the project award, the result was published a long time ago, and now the award ceremony is held.. It was earlier than Girl Talk release, and the award Kara got may be wasn't so important that they need to present. I think it's good, SNSD have to present in Japan and Korea in the same night, that's exhausted, I don't want Kara to be like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banG Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 even though kara's digital sales came platinum? is that ranked only on physical sales or something :/ also bigbang didn't even come close to karas sales even though im vip myself surely kara should have been there in front of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
