footballfina 29,566 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 After sweeping the music program charts with their latest hit “Mr. Chu,†A Pink is looking to enter foreign markets. They will start their new global journey in Japan. A Pink is planning to continue their promotions of “Mr. Chu†for two to three more weeks. After, they will start planning for their Japanese activities. Critics have initially commented on how A Pink would work well in the Japanese market with their cute and innocent image. A Pink’s agency A Cube Entertainment has already carried out successful fan meetings in Japan. The positive reactions from Japan are also adding onto the excitement of A Pink’s future ventures in Japan. Representative of A Pink has stated that “as soon as domestic promotions are complete, A Pink will focus on Japanese activities.†Previously, A Pink has won number one on all four major music programs “Mnet M! Countdown“, “KBS Music Bank,†“MBC Music Core,†and “SBS Inkigayo.†They also came in first on Taiwan’s 5music weekly album sale chart in April, without any promotions in Taiwan.

✴✧SeoulYoon✧✴ 6,513 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm not surprised about Japan. I think they'll do really well in Japan. Concept-wise, Apink is similar to most Jpn girl groups I think they'll able to become the 2nd kpop girl group to be big in Japan after KARA. Just not sure if Japanese public is still accepting of kpop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mischo 7,462 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I wonder if Japan still 'accept' kpop groups since I know Hallyu has died down a lot over there. But I do think they'll do somewhat average due to their cute and innocent image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rose 9,391 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think Big Groups like BB/SNSD/TVXQ are still doing okay in Japan, smaller groups have been bombing from my understanding I'll be surprised if they do well, yeah they fit Japan's ideal for GG but since they aren't doing anything different, i see no reason for Japan to support them over their own groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silicon soul 19,457 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't think Japan will be that open to any new groups, it's only TVXQ, SNSD, 2pm and Big Bang that are finding continuing success via sales and/or concerts. Plus since Apink supposedly are closer to current Japanese groups in image, why would they prefer a foreign group to the own ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macchatea 1,039 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't think they'll do that well in Japan tbh, but who knows I could be wrong. I wish them good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timpa 6,547 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Japan likes their cute/innocent concept girl groups as long as they're flashing their panties and doing underwear photoshoots so we'll see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
✴✧SeoulYoon✧✴ 6,513 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sorry but there's still snsd KARA 1st SNSD 2nd pls~ they are famous there I'm a fan of snsd but I think if Apink debuts there, they'll probably be bigger than SNSD. Japan loves cute. Apink are not much different than most japanese girls. SNSD just look more mature, stylish, perfect, etc so they appeal to fangirls more in Japan. If I'm not mistaken, the same fangirls in Japan who love TVXQ, SHINee, 2PM also love SNSD. While Apink might be able to attract more fanboys, ahjusshis, otakus, Wotas, etc (the same fanbase as AKB48, Morning Musume, Momoiro, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrifeRaider 4,103 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I just hope they won't make it a home like many of the other groups do with 0 to none activity in Korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property of Goddess Irene 9,760 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 If they know how to market Eunji and Naeun, APink as a whole should do well in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
