Appropriate fan energy (for Apink and AOA)

Appropriate fan energy (for Apink and AOA)

相応のペンエネルギー（ApinkとAOAに寄せて）

The power of Korean girl groups! AOA & Apink take 1st and 2nd place in Oricon charts

Apink and AOA are showing off their strengths by appearing at the top of the Oricon charts.


The results are valuable because they were released several days after release, not on the day of release.


(Remember) was released on August 3rd. AOA was in 1st place and Apink was in 2nd place based on sales only on August 7th.


Avid fans would take action on the day of release.


The fact that more people are buying after 3 or 4 days could be because a fanbase that cares about their fans is starting to form around the passionate fans.


AOA's "Good Luck" and Apink's "Summertime!"


Compared to last year's (Heart Attack) and (Remember), I honestly thought they were weak songs.


What is it that makes up for these weaknesses?


I think it's because they've established a certain level of popularity with "Heart Attack" and "Remember."


I don't usually look at the Oricon charts.


But ever since Apink came to Japan and started releasing new Japanese versions of their songs, I've started to pay attention to them from time to time.


And then I realized something.


K-Pop girls' CDs sell reasonably well while they're in Japan, but sales stop as soon as they leave.


However, CDs by Japanese singers aren't like that.


They continue to sell for a certain period of time, even if the numbers aren't that great.


This is probably because they continue to work somewhere in Japan.


As long as they continue to work, fans will be born somewhere, and people will buy in bulk.


K-Pop girls always carry a handicap.


In other words, it's just that difficult to go overseas and work.


It must take a lot of energy to get high on the Oricon charts with that kind of handicap.


This is true not only for the girls themselves, but also for their fans, who must exert many times the energy.


In my opinion, the energy of the fans who support both Apink and AOA is swelled to a considerable extent and shines forth.


This could be on Twitter, singing at karaoke, or a comment on a blog.


If you are an Apink fan, you may be playing that role without even realizing it.


It is difficult to maintain the appropriate amount of fan energy even if the girls are no longer in Japan.
