TWICEとKARAの競争
TWICE, sales volume of 200,000 copies in Japan Oricon... Signs of great debut success
TWICE has surpassed 200,000 units in Oricon standard sales volume.
TWICE's Japan debut best album "#TWICE" released on the 28th of last month ranked 5th on the Oricon daily album chart on the 23rd with sales of 2,352 copies. With a total sales of 200,018 copies based on the Oricon tally, it has sold more than 200,000 copies of its debut album in Japan.
TWICE's Japan debut best album "#TWICE" has maintained its top 5 position on the Oricon daily album chart for the past month since its release on the 28th of last month, and has become even more conspicuous with its long-running popularity. The June release album in the top 10 of this chart is the only TWICE song, and it makes you think about how popular TWICE is.
At the same time, the shipment volume of this album exceeded 250,000 copies.
TWICE's album remained at No. 2 on the Oricon Daily Album Chart for 4 days in a row after its release, and from the 2nd day when they held their debut showcase at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, they "reversed" and climbed to No. 1, topping the chart for 3 days in a row. Demonstrated the ability to persevere.

Did anyone expect TWICE's Japan debut to be this successful?
"There weren't many...?"
I picked up various voices on the internet, but almost no one expected to achieve the same results as KARA and Girls' Generation. However, TWICE delivered results.
The situation in 2010 and now is completely different. Many people thought that even if it became popular, the base would not spread, and at most it would remain a boom among K-POP fans.
From my point of view, TWICE's popularity seems to be higher than it was with KARA. KARA appeared on terrestrial TV and gained popularity while making full use of her clumsy Japanese.
Twice has a mix of Japanese members, so even if they don't appear on TV, it seems that there are cases where the people who appear on the programs talk about them and support them in some way.
Around the end of the year of their debut, KARA's popularity was boiling, but I think TWICE will probably gain as much or more support.
I wonder if KARA will surpass the popularity of KARA at the time next year.
"However, it's not without problems." KARA became popular as all the members improved their Japanese through bodywork. However, in the case of TWICE, there are concerns about that. This is because I have a feeling that there will be more and more cases of people relying entirely on Japanese members for difficult Japanese exchanges.
The members other than the three Japanese may reach a certain point and their Japanese proficiency may stagnate.
If KARA can overcome that problem, it doesn't seem like it's a dream to show more activity than KARA at the time.
"I want TWICE to go all the way."
The timeless competition between TWICE and KARA is just beginning.
