V.M. 752 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ok so TVXQ are massive there and the SM top dogs. So lets say TVXQ are the 10 out of ten, in terms of popularity right now, well how high would you say SJ are then ? Trying to get my head around them in Japan tbh and how well they will do on their comeback in terms of their next chart performances. They are beloved by fangirls worldwide in all kinds of crazy countries but where would you place them in regards to the other top Korean Boybands in Japan .ie. - BigBang, Shinee, 2PM etc etc ?

Boss Bitch 4 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 As popular as my mom is with men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aniki 2,700 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I would place them 3rd after BB and 2PM. Just from the artists on your list. SJ would obviously sell more than 2PM, but 2PM spends much more time in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomchomchikapompom 1,027 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 between boy group i'd say 1. tvxq 2. jyj? if not BIG BANG 3. between 2pm and suju (i think 2pm recently rose a lot in Japan) but since suju are releasing a single maybe they'll gain more popularity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ PD Hercule Poirot ~ 1,868 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 • THSK/TVXQ • Big Bang • 2PM • Super Junior • SHINee I just think they're somewhere in between 2PM and SHINee.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minionmonstar0309 141 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I've even heard any of successful news about suju in japan yet (maybe because I'm not elf or aware with it) But likely 2pm and shinee are probably popular than them (?) But .... in term of popularity in japan no one can beat the legend TVXQ though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiramiQ 16,446 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I've even heard any of successful news about suju in japan yet (maybe because I'm not elf or aware with it) hmmm let's see they released 4 singles between 2011 and 2012 which sold respectively: 70k+, 110k+, 184k+ (best selling kpop single in 2012), 123k+ their first jpn album that was released 2 months ago sold 120k+ so far 2 of their subunits released 3 singles that sold respectively: 80k+ 76k+, 58k+ they were the 2nd kpop group after TVXQ to hold sold out concerts in Tokyo dome and Osaka dome they have 100k+ registered fans in their official jpn fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmn 2,622 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Like most kpop groups in Japan SUJU are completely irrelevant to the general public but they have a large fangirl army. 4th biggest fangirl army after TVXQ, BIGBANG and JYJ. Their new Japanese single will obviously sell lots of CDs and nobody will download it digitally for the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sima 832 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 hmmm let's see they released 4 singles between 2011 and 2012 which sold respectively: 70k+, 110k+, 184k+ (best selling kpop single in 2012), 123k+ their first jpn album that was released 2 months ago sold 120k+ so far 2 of their subunits released 3 singles that sold respectively: 80k+ 76k+, 58k+ they were the 2nd kpop group after TVXQ to hold sold out concerts in Tokyo dome and Osaka dome they have 100k+ registered fans in their official jpn fanclub THIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
''' 650 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'd give them an 8/10. I've seen them at smtown tokyo several times and the crowd is always second loudest to tvxq when they come out. They are probably at the same level as big bang. Or maybe even a tad more cuz the fans seem to connect with the members more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil4life 3,270 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 for a group with close to zero promotions they're single sales numbers are in par to 2PM/TVXQ but i can't speak for their actual popularity since I read that part of the reason they get those sales numbers in the 1st place is because their sold in multiple ver and at a discount price at their concerts.

Candyboojae 675 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 i would say they are at the same level with BB and 2pm comes after them i guess ... but between 2pm and shinee think 2pm is a bit more popular in Japan ( correct me if iam wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowon 333 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 i dont wanna talk about number but theyre popular because hallyu star's reason not because their japan single/album release imo so, theyre popular in japan because theyre popular in asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm still lost as to why people think 2PM is big in Japan when their albums can't even crack 80k total. More or less like this: TVXQ . . . . . BB >= SJ . . . 2PM = SHINee . . . . . And the rest This is actually pretty correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 But their latest single broke 150k I think Single sales are pretty irrelevant since they're driven by idol gimmicks. It's the same people buying multiple copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAE-RANG 1,386 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 they have so many fangirls in japan but not as huge as TVXQ not as popular as kara, snsd, boa and tvxq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
