Japanese debut green light (OH MY GIRL)
日本デビュー青信号（OH MY GIRL）
OH MY GIRL, green light for Japanese debut...1st place on Tower Records weekly chart
The girl group has lit the green light for their Japanese debut.
According to their agency WM Entertainment, OH MY GIRL's repackaged 3rd mini album "WINDY DAY" has topped the weekly (June 27th - July 3rd) overall chart at Tower Records Shibuya in Japan.
OH MY GIRL will maintain their popularity with their first official fan signing event in Japan on the 16th and 17th. Last month, many fans were unable to get tickets to the fan signing event, heating up social media.
After successfully completing their "WINDY DAY" promotions in Korea, the girl group OH MY GIRL is focusing on their individual activities.

OH MY GIRL is an 8-member group. They are the second largest group of girls to come to Japan after Girls' Generation's nine members.
The more members you have, the harder it is to get people to remember each member.
But there is a good side to it. It's a long process to get people to remember everyone's names, but if they like the members you've remembered, that's the first step to becoming a fan, and they'll definitely start looking for the next member. Just like when I was making friends...
It's not like Girls' Generation fans don't know who the members Hyoyeon and Sunny are now.
If you asked that question, Girls' Generation fans would probably scold you.
But that's only now. When Girls' Generation and KARA became big hits, many people knew the five KARA members, but didn't know who the members of Girls' Generation were.
When Girls' Generation first came to Japan, fans struggled to remember the names of the members.
It's simply a difference in numbers, but there's a big difference between five and nine.
When I discovered professional baseball as a child, I remembered the names of the top batters on the most popular teams, from number one to number five.
However, it took me a while to remember the names of the lower-ranked batters.
The only lower-ranked batter I could remember was the pitcher who was the last batter.
Even with minor characters in movies and dramas, you may remember their faces, but it's hard to get into the mood until you remember their names.
It's the same thing.
Right now, the only members of Oh My Girl I can immediately match their faces and names to are Seunghee, Arin, Hyojung, and YooA.
I'm a total jack-of-all-trades, so sometimes members of other girl groups get mixed in here too.
That's about it, but once they come to Japan and become more popular, people will be able to remember the other members more quickly.
Once you've memorized half the members (4-5 people), you'll naturally put more effort into watching their performances.
Once you've memorized them all, the stage will be twice as attractive, just like cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Fortunately, the same agency also has the boy group B1A4, which has made a name for itself in Japan.
If their fans are there to back them up, just like how Girls' Generation's die-hard fans supported TVXQ and Super Junior, they will surely be a great ally for them.
Following Girls' Generation and KARA, Apink has learned Japanese well and is deepening their bond with Japanese fans through their friendly performances.
I hope that the members of Oh My Girl will also learn Japanese, even if it's just broken, and make their Japanese debut.
