I really like the fact that the Japanese are waiting for KARA’s showcase! Not only their music is being received recently by Japan, their popularity also increases due to Genkidan Hitori’s fanboy-ism to the girls. I hope they get lots of love and support from Japan fans after their showcase so that they could decide whether on pursuing the Japanese market after their comeback!

Update on KARA’s Japan showcase

Kara will leave for Japan on February 5th. They will open their showcase in Tokyo on February 7th. Their showcase will be held at the Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo. Because Akasaka Blitz can only contain 1400 people, they will have a second showcase since the reception of the first showcase exceeded expectations. Nearly 3000 fans will be able to meet Kara.

Kara’s rep says, “They leave for Tokyo on February 5th”, and “It seems they will have to stay for 3Nights/4Days or maybe even 4Nights/5Days”. Currently, Kara is busy tending to the press and press conferences. They are currently discussing their castings in programs.
