The whole Kara vs. SNSD things is crazy. SNSD sells more physical copies, but Kara is more popular as seen by their digital sales and general public opinion/knowledge. The groups also have two different images in Japan. SNSD is viewed more as artist, becuase they only go on shows to promote their songs and tour, while Kara is viewed as idol, becuase they do the variety circuit and speak Japanese. Both groups have a lot going for them (ie: SNSD digital sales and Kara's physicals sales are no joke either), but at the end of the day Kara is more well known/"popular" with the general public then SNSD. And it should be that way as they actually invest a lot of time in Japan and learning the language.

They can if they want. well, they need much more and more toil for sure. Seohyun seems busying school, but her Japanese improve very well than her unnis. Maknae loves learn because she wants to...they have 9 members as well. Not every member has super tight schedule.

The 5 kara members are also busy too. Back and forth South Korea - Japan is not easy at all.

Honestly, I doubt they will. I don't think that SME has any plans for them to do so, tbh. They even said when SNSD started to promote in Japan, they said it would be nothing like Tohoshinki. They weren't going to try and become Japanese artist, they were going to remain a Korean artist that releases in Japan. And if Japan doesn't seem to care, which they don't judging by sales, then there is really no reason to force them.
