Kara’s ‘Super Girl’ hits Triple Platinum in Japan

 Group Kara continues to achieve impressive feats in Japan.

According to the January million single/album list released by the Recording Industry Association of Japan on the 10th, Kara’s 2nd full album in Japan, ‘Super Girl’ has been certified ‘Triple Platinum’.
An album is given the ‘Triple Platinum’ certification when it sells 750k copies or more. At 250k copies sold albums are certified as ‘Platinum’ and at 500k as ‘Double Platinum’.

Kara’s 2nd album has achieved ‘Triple Platinum’ in only 3 months after its release. The album ranked #1 on the Oricon Weekly chart on the first week of its release and it is even more impressive when you consider the girls did not have any special promotion for the album.

The album ‘Super Girl’ contains tracks such as ‘Jet Coaster Love’, ‘Go Go Summer’, ‘Winter Magic’, all the songs from the 3rd full album released in Korea, and several other hits that were re-recorded in Japanese language.

Kara is currently busy preparing for the group’s Asia Tour. Kara will kick off the Asia Tour, ‘KARASIA’ in Olympic Park, Korea on the 18th and on the 19th.

Kara debuted in 2007 with the group’s 1st album, ‘Blooming’ and this will be the first solo concert for the members. They aptly named the concert ‘KARASIA’, combining Kara and Asia, because they will be meeting their Asian fans through the concert tour.
