‘Hoot’ sold more than 20k copies in Japan on Day 1

On Day 1 of its release in Japan, SNSD’s Licensed Japanese Edition of 3rd mini album ‘Hoot’ managed to secure the #2 spot on Oricon Daily Album Chart.

Released officially on December 22nd, ‘Hoot’ recorded sales of 21,271 copies, making it the 2nd hottest selling album of the day behind Ayumi Hamasaki’s ‘Love Songs’ which recorded a massive sales of 70,609 copies, also on the first day of release.



Following this a representative from the music industry said, “Previously, the licensed albums for Super Junior and SHINee only managed to secure 5th and 8th spot respectively on Oricon. Since SNSD have not officially promoted the album in Japan, I think this result is rather phenomenal. SNSD’s songs are well received and loved domestically in Korea as well as in Japan”.

The FNS Music Festival first took place in 1974 and has been produced and hosted every year by Fuji Network System and Fuji Television. 

Nine-member girl group Girls' Generation has taken the Japanese music market by storm since making their debut in the country in August this year, attracting over 20,000 fans to their first showcase and becoming the first Korean girl group to place in at No. 1 on the prestigious Oricon chart.

Their Japanese singles "Gee" and "Genie" have each sold over 100,000 copies to be certified gold discs.

The girls have been busy promoting their latest song "Hoot" in Korea from their third mini-album of the same name which has topped various online and offline music charts since its release in mid-October.

>KARA’s Seungyeon wants to create a ’short club’ with SNSD’s Taeyeon

When asked who she wanted to add as a new member to KARA on KBS 2TV’s “Happy Together“, Han Seungyeon chose SNSD’s Taeyeon.

Han Seungyeon, the shortest in KARA with a height of 158 cm, stated, “There’s a huge height difference between me and maknae Jiyoung. I’d like to have Taeyeon join as a new member since she’s the shortest of her group.”

She laughed while continuing, “I once asked her to create a short club with me while guesting on her radio show.”

Maybe she can also recruit T-ara’s Boram and SNSD’s Sunny to join up with her and form a little people line.
