M Station announced on the official website on the 8th that "IZ*ONE" will appear on the broadcast on the 15th. On this day's broadcast, "IZ*ONE" will perform their Japanese debut single "Suki to Iwasetai", which was released on the 6th of this month.

　The Japanese debut single "Suki to Iwasetai" sold about 190,000 copies on the first day of its release, and "IZ*ONE" became a hot topic when it reached number one on Oricon's daily single ranking at the same time as its debut.

In addition to that, the group also topped 6 music service sites, ranked 1st on iTunes J-POP charts in 5 countries around the world, and ranked 1st on MV charts on 5 major sites in Japan, demonstrating their high popularity. rice field.

I was surprised that IZ*ONE's Japanese debut single "Suki to Iwasetai" sold over 190,000 copies on the first day of its release.
It's rare for a K-POP girl to be able to generate sales like this.
Even the popular girls who represent K-POP, BLACKPINK and Red Velvet, can't get such numbers on the Oricon chart. In Japan, it is only TWICE that has spread its popularity to the living room.
On the first day, IZ*ONE hit a figure close to that of TWICE, and it seems that sales have increased by several thousand since the next day. It looks good to see that its popularity is spreading faster than expected.

At this rate, I'd expect IZ*ONE to approach TWICE's popularity in another month.
At the end of last year, IZ*ONE appeared on Fuji TV's "FNS Music Festival" and other terrestrial programs. At that time, the beauty of one of the members, Minju, was caught in a close-up video on TV, and people asked, "Who is this woman?" The topic of Minju spread, and it became known that IZ*ONE was not the only girl with good looks.
Now that I watch their stage videos every day, for me IZ*ONE has become a group of visuals from Wonyoung to Chaeyoung.

On the surface, TWICE and IZ*ONE seem to be playing a fierce battle over popularity. However, isn't there a lot of parts that both of them share in favor with each other? Therefore, there are many aspects of their popularity that are the same, and my view is that IZ*ONE will reach the popularity territory that TWICE pioneered earlier than expected.
The question is when the popularity of both of them is at the same time, will it start to wear out on each other and the popularity will decline? Whether or not it will be expanded. That will be the focus of attention in the future.
