From the comeback of "April"
”April”のカムバックから
April's "Spring Tale" music video surpasses 1.15 million views in the first week of their comeback... No. 1 on China's music video chart
April is showing strong competitiveness and growth amidst the fierce competition among girl groups.
According to DSP Media on the 12th, the music video for "Spring Tale," the title track of April's new mini-album "Prelude," has surpassed 1.15 million views in just one week since its release.
It continues to top the weekly music video chart for the first week of January on 1The K channel on China's largest video platform YOUKU, and is receiving positive responses not only in Korea but also in China.
April's "Spring Tale" music video, which features six little dolls who have a crush on the owner of a toy store, is exciting and attracts attention as it adds to the fun of interpreting the final reversal.
After reorganizing into a six-member group with the addition of new members Chaekyung and Rachel, the group has grown from the youngest pure idol to a mature girlish beauty, and has expanded its fan base to include a more diverse range of fans, especially from elementary school students to middle-aged adults.
On the other hand, "Springland Story" has been active recently, showing the growth and change of April, from singing about dreams, speaking for the heart of a girl who is in pain over an unrequited love that she was unable to express, to singing about love.

It is good to see a big response on the Chinese MV charts in the first week of their comeback.
A real breakthrough will come only when they push aside their rivals on the domestic charts and gain attention.
The harvest from an isolated area will be encouraging for the girls, who are betting on a comeback.
When leader Somin and Hyunjoo left the group, April must have suffered a lot of damage.
With young girls making their debut one after another, the girls must once again live like trainees until replacements can be found.
The remaining members must have been very shaken.
But now they have returned with Chaekyung and Rachel as new members.
What kind of image will the girls have?
I immediately went to YouTube.
I watched their comeback song MV "Story".
I was relieved to see it.
This is what they were like around April last year.
They do feel a little smaller, but their performance is almost the same as it was back then.
In fact, if you listen closely, you can feel that their singing voices and performance have improved since then.
Their singing and dancing are as pure as a deep, clear lake.
Despite the eight-month hiatus, they may have continued to grow.
However, they can't rest easy with that.
Being a little late will be a big handicap.
As I mentioned before, with the restructured six-member lineup, they are aiming to become an Apink-type girl group.
The members are visually impressive and well-balanced.
I think they will be able to attract not only female fans but also boys' hearts even after Somin and the others leave.
If I had to mention one drawback, it is that there is still no member with a distinctive singing voice or a member with singing ability like Eunji.
It will be a good group for those who become fans because of the overall image.
It will be disappointing for fans who want to join because of individual members.
I hope that one of the members will improve their singing skills.
If things stay as they are, they will likely be worried about losing out to other girls, so I hope they will grow into a girl group that can withstand the long haul.
