KARA debuts at #5 on Oricon charts
On the 11th, KARA’s Japanese debut single album Mister debuted at #5 on the Oricon daily chart.
The first place went to Masaharu Fukuyama and a Japanese girl group Perfume was also highly ranked. It shows that KARA was up to par with such big J-Pop stars. It also looks like KARA will do well when the weekly chart releases.
It was expected that they would get the #9 spot so this is a surprisingly good result. Out of all the rookies that released singles, they got the highest rank.
KARA’s #5 ranking is the second best debut result for an idol from Korea. Big Bang debuted at #4 with My Heaven in the past.
Kara’s Mister MV is #1 on Japanese iTunes
The girls of Kara are off to a great start as they made their Japanese debut with their EP, Mister, debuting at #5 on the Oricon charts.
Well, it looks like Oricon isn’t the only chart they’re dominating as the girls are currently ranked #1 in the Japanese iTunes‘ music video chart!
Although the music video of Mister is quite expensive (400 yen / 4.69 US dollars), it has topped other MVs from notable artists including Funky Monkey Babys, EXILE, Lady Gaga and Madonna.
KARA performs on famous Japanese program ‘Sukiri’
Korean girl group KARA appeared on a famous Japanese morning program, called Sukiri, to promote their new Japanese debut single, Mister.
On the 11th, the girls had a talk with host Sekine Mari during a part of Sukiri called Mariwood, and later they performed Mister live. As a corner that provides the audience information about a Hollywood star’s fashion or lifestyle, Mariwood has had famous previous guests, such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Backstreet Boys. KARA, who appeared as guests for this corner, became a hot issue for becoming the first Korean (as well as Asian) star to make an appearance.

Shibuya goes in a frenzy due to KARA’s surprise performance
Popular Korean girl group KARA held a surprise stage performance in front of the popular department store, Shibuya109 in Tokyo earlier today to celebrate their debut in Japan.
KARA performed their debut song titled “Mister” in front of more than 3000 fans. Because this was a “surprise,” many people came as the word spread quickly creating a ruckus in the crowded district of Shibuya. At this event KARA was scheduled to take photos with fans, have a brief Q&A session, and perform some songs. However, because the fans were over reacting and created a panic, they had to unfortunately cancel this surprise event after performing just one song.
KARA will hold a hand-shake event in Shinkiba Stadium Coast on August 14th.
