KARA beats AKB48′s Maeda Atsuko’s record of most Blu-ray discs sold in first week

Korean girl group, KARA recently made their best BD (Blu-ray disc) sales record in Japan yet!

On December 28th, according to Oricon, ‘KARA Vacation 2‘ which was released on December 21st sold a total of 7,000 copies in it’s first week achieving #1 in the ‘weekly idol image’ category. This record is the highest ever recorded for first week BD sales.

Until now, Maeda Atsuko, member of Japanese girl group AKB48, held the #1 spot as she sold 4,000 BD copies in her first week. However, she has now fallen to second place as Kara sold 3,000 more copies.

This isn’t the first time Kara grabbed the top spot in the BD sales category. Last year, they rose to #1 for BD sales, making this year their second year of dominating Blu-ray sales in Japan.

Seriously? I love Kara and all, but the person who wrote the article sounds like a scumbag for using Acchan's sales to glorify them. -_-

BBJing looks beautiful in that picture though.

gyuri 29th-Dec-2011 09:34 am (UTC)

that's how most articles regarding sales are written tho…………

Congrats to KARA.

kanokobunny 29th-Dec-2011 10:13 am (UTC)

When I saw this article on akp, I knew it was going to end up here.

gejeness 29th-Dec-2011 10:20 am (UTC)

I just thought Kara deserves this, after all the hard work they made. Acchan is also one of my oshimen, but hey, think positive. Don't want to start another fan war :)

rim1789 29th-Dec-2011 10:22 am (UTC)

Congrats girls <3

thewarpedmelody 29th-Dec-2011 11:20 am (UTC)

Lol this article is like the original article at Allkpop, stirring shit.

boncute 29th-Dec-2011 11:58 am (UTC)

First of all, Allkpop translate from Osen...and Osen pretty much just translate all words from Oricon news...

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/rankmusic/2005201/full/

So,,,,maybe this is strring shit, still, that's the original news said about this, nothing much or less...

well, i think it's pretty big news when you beat akb48 sales wise since they're pretty much #1 always so i don't think this should necassarily be stirring shit up. i love acchan but congrats to kara.

antifools 29th-Dec-2011 12:43 pm (UTC)

They would never beat AKB48 sales wise. Beating Acchan doesn't make it much of anything... She didn't even beat Itano Tomomi's Dear J in singles sales.

itskimbitches 29th-Dec-2011 02:44 pm (UTC)

keep it comin arama! i think we're onto something here...

ararat010 29th-Dec-2011 03:23 pm (UTC)

Hahah, oh god.
I had no fucking idea of what "Atsuko Maeda's BD" they were talking about since she released no image videos in years so I had to track down the source article.
Turns out it was Mubobi, which was released in February 2009. February. Two Thousand Nine.
AKP, you and your fluff articles conveniently omitting all the inconvenient details. You are a joke as usual.

falsie 29th-Dec-2011 04:10 pm (UTC)

they are basic but props must be given.

Both are basic so it doesn't matter.

Wank soup recipe: compare to akb or arashi

ethereal_limbo 29th-Dec-2011 07:51 pm (UTC)

i like both, so i don't care. the only wank part about this article is the title. it should have just been "kara broke BD 1st week record" or something.

miuratenshi 29th-Dec-2011 08:38 pm (UTC)

Congrats KARA! :D

shueisha 29th-Dec-2011 09:09 pm (UTC)

I like Kara and all, but I wouldn't consider 7k as "dominating." I also got a little laugh out of the fact that Atsuko's DVD came out a couple of years ago but wasn't mentioned in the article.
