AOA's first album finally jumped to number one on Oricon's daily rankings. Their momentum after summer seems to be real.
While AKB's overwhelming dominance continues, K-POP Girls has made inroads into it, and the fact that they reached No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Rankings is highly commendable.

Their faces have become well known. I was able to picture the faces of the 7 members one by one in my head.

I immediately went to see NHK's "MUSIC JAPAN" to see what the "Oh BOY" stage would be like.
As with Apink, the fans cheered loudly. I just don't get the impression that he's enthusiastic. The age group of the fans may be slightly higher.

How was the performance at Ikebukuro Sunshine City Fountain Plaza?

The stage was lively with AOA's unique brilliance. Even though it's sexy, pink is almost white. Light sexy brightens the world. That's my impression.
Jimin's rap is as powerful and lively as ever, and the gestures he shows with his tie are stylish. Maybe this dance will be popular...

AOA has landed in Japan as if to follow in the footsteps of Apink.
Both AOA and Apink seem to have something to look forward to next year.

As long as AOA is showing such momentum, I really want FNC ENTERTAINMENT to hold a family concert in Japan again.
She believes that the reason why AOA gained so much in Japan was because of the family concert.

★It's a bit off-topic, but I think the popularity of Apink has helped BEAST and her 4Minute to become more popular in Japan (Hyuna and others are gaining quite a bit). If CUBE Entertainment also holds a family concert in Japan, I think Apink, BEAST, 4Minute, etc. will become even more popular.
