Kara's new Japanese album Go Go Summer has been sold over 100,000 copies

Kara’s Japanese fourth single album Go Go Summer was sold over 114,000 copies just in a week since its release, ranking second on the Oricon weekly chart.

Following Kara’s third single album Jet Coaster Love, which had been sold over 123,000 copies in a week when it was released in April, Go Go Summer has also recorded more than 100,000 copies in sales. The sales record, two times in a row, is first set in the 44-year history of the Oricon chart for foreign female artists.

When the foreign male artists, whether bands or solo singers, were all included, the Kara’s record places second, only following TVXQ’s.

In addition, Kara has made another surprising record: all their songs released in Japan (“Mister,” “Jumping,” “Jet Coaster Love,” and “Go Go Sumer”) has been put among top five on the Oricon chart.
