AOA's first solo concert in Japan was well received by the local media
The female idol group AOA held their first solo concert in Japan, and it was a great success. On the 18th, AOA held their first Japan solo concert "ANGELS WORLD 2015 ~Oh BOY ACADEMY~" at Shinkiba Studio in Tokyo. AOA, who started their activities in Japan in October 2014, has grown into a female idol group representing K-POP, holding solo concerts 14 months later.
About 2,500 fans rushed to the concert venue, and AOA sang a total of 21 songs, including "Heart Attack". The Japanese media also paid attention to the performance on the same day. Sports Hochi reported that ``AOA showed a sexy stage'', and Sankei Sports introduced AOA with leader Jimin's ``dream come true'' as the title of the article. On the other hand, AOA released "Heart Attack" in Korea in June of this year and has gained great popularity.

Around the end of last year, the prevailing view was that this year's K-POP girls scene would develop around the emerging powers of Apink and AOA.
This is because groups such as Girls' Generation, 2NE1, and KARA, which are popular in foreign countries (Asia → especially Japan), are all suffering from injuries, and the situation of stagnation is increasing.
In order to fill a kind of blank situation, Apink and AOA boarded Japan while appealing their freshness.
"I think there was a reasonable result." The two groups, Apink and AOA, held various events and connected the appeal of K-POP girls.
A lot of K-POP girls' fans, mainly teenage girls, were born while listening to Apink and AOA's music. Apink's stage visit to a certain high school became news on TV and created a big ripple effect.
Although AOA was somewhat hidden behind Apink, it increased its popularity while appealing its youthfulness that was not bound by a sexy image.
Her summer comeback song "Heart Attack" succeeded in a healthy and sexy makeover and became a big hit, appearing on the world rankings.
It was her SNSD that surpassed even this AoA and made a comeback. Girls' Generation has made her comeback in a row with leader Taeyeon's solo debut.
In particular, "Lion Heart" became a big hit song representing the year following Taeyeon's "I".
Apink and AOA played the role of a go-between brilliantly, and it was a year of great harvest for K-POP Girls.
The solo concert "ANGELS WORLD 2015 ~Oh BOY ACADEMY~" at Shinkiba Studio proves AOA's breakthrough this year.
Her first longitudinal tour will also come into view next year.
