    Japanese Girls Going to Korea to Find the 'Twice' Dream

     

    This article recaps a bit of that April 30th Reuters article, "K-Pop stardom lures Japanese Youth to Korea Despite Diplomatic Chill".

    Haha first they say BTS is the reason for Japanese people wanting to become Kpop stars in Japan. Then they ask JYPE for their input on their Japanese promotion while barely mentioning Twice then ask JYPE for comment. Strange reporter

  2. It still hasn’t been added. The whole mess of YoY bulk orders from Ktown4u taking ages to be reflected has made me doubtful of bulk orders from Ktown4u, lol.

    Can those 4,5k sales of Fancy You be from Tower Records since they’ve been selling only in the hundreds the past few days?

    They might be, if there has been a surge of BlackPink albums as well then we should know for sure. Since both released at the same time.

  3. They had a whole sixteen :wth:

    Sixteen had pretty low ratings overall, also going by first week sales there was no hype behind Twice. The few sales we managed to get the only thing that gave Twice a start was a bit of public curiousity to see what JYPE would bring out but then even in the first day they almost fell away. Twice was the reason Ooh Ahh did well and Ooh Ahh was the reason Twice did well

  4. Hmmm somehow I never notice this, ULs for the top 10 position at least looks pretty normal to me.

    And I'm not sure abt the 'SK not using Melon as much', since we have a couple of songs with 1M-1.2M+ ULs just from this past two months alone. So even if Melon user is actually decreasing, it should be a really small/insignificant decrease imo.

    You are definitely right in the sense that lower ULs doesnt seem to be attributed to just a trend of less use on Melon. But I guess its time to grab some data. No point in just taking my word at face value is there?

     

    But the sad thing is I only have data on the top 10 melon ULs from the crash onwards. Since the crash, or at least the thursday after, ULs on average went down ~50k. The median on the week of the crash was roughly 547k. However now it is 487k. This is with a downwards trend since then. That is a 10% change... pretty drastic. We can claim it is just traffic and there were more high profile releases prior... but wait... didnt we have a huge release come out just this week? In fact we have had many huge releases from groups who are known for their ability to retain large ULs for months. There are also rising Indie artists who in the past we have seen would garner large ULs as well.

     

    I want to have data from before the break. But all I have are values of KTL, Bom, and other groups so I havent got the ability to support my arguement. However the trend is pretty clear since then. The weirdest part for me is that we are approaching summer. Generally speaking this is when ULs are supposed to be on the rise.

     

    TLDR; no proof, just ULs are on a downward trend and we arent sure why. Especially with summer coming in.
