Girl group AOA to release 1st album in Japan on the 14th of this month
AOA will release their 1st album in Japan.
AOA will release its 1st album "Ace of Angels" in Japan on the 14th of this month. AOA's 1st Japanese album will contain a total of 11 songs, including the title song "Oh BOY", new songs "Lemon Slush" and "Stay with me". The album will be released in the first limited edition A with a DVD, the first limited edition B with a 2016 desk calendar, and the regular edition.
AOA's 3rd Japanese single "Heart Attack" released in July this year reached No. 1 on the Tower Records Daily Ranking and Top 5 on the Oricon Single Ranking. After 10 months in Japan, they held the inaugural ceremony of the local fan club 'AOE (Ace Of Elvis)'. AOA (Jimin, Choa, Yuna, Hyejeong, Mina, Seolhyun, Chanmi) debuted in Japan with their first single "Miniskirt" in October last year. I have solidified my footing.
On the other hand, AOA confirmed their hot popularity throughout Asia while holding fan meetings in Taiwan on the 10th and Hong Kong on the 11th.
(From K-POP News)
The rise in popularity of K-POP girls AOA is tremendous. In a recent survey of 1,500 soldiers, Seolhyun, who represents the team's visuals, came out on top, surpassing Girls' Generation and others. Choa also showed up in the top ten and showed off the depth of the member's popularity.
The faces of the team have mainly been Seolhyun, Choa, and Jimin. However, the other members are also gaining momentum in their solo activities. Yuna and Chanmi also showed off their presence while serving as DJs for Melon Radio Star for the first time in a girl group.
This popularity has begun to spread overseas in all directions, and the momentum does not seem to be slowing down.
In Taiwan, K-POP has taken over J-POP and boasts high popularity. Popular boy groups (such as Girls' Generation, etc.) fly to Taiwan and are welcomed by hundreds of fans at the airport.
AOA, who went to the "fan meeting", was also warmly welcomed by hundreds of people, proving their high popularity.
Apink is very popular in Japan, especially among teens. AOA has an image of a sexy route, but penetration in Japan is delayed. However, with this summer's "Heart Attack", the strategy of diluting the sexy image was successful, and it seems that the favorability is rising in Japan as well.
Considering the ratio of K-POP popularity in Asia, it wouldn't be surprising if AOA's popularity grew further.
Their 1st album "Ace of Angels" is likely to attract more attention than ever before.
If things go well, we may be able to create a boom like Apink.
Apink's Eunji spoke desperately in vague Japanese and was well received by the fans.
Will they be able to overcome that by making efforts that don't use their busyness as an excuse (without relying on an interpreter)...?
In addition to whether the music is good or not, it can be said that the result will be greatly different depending on how much communication is done in Japanese with the fans.
The style of a few years ago, when Girls' Generation relied on Sooyoung's Japanese ability, would no longer work.
