IZONE News and Discussion Thread

MV has just passed 1 million views on YouTube

 

and the song is #12 on instiz.

Also the album is currently #12 on US iTunes (my bad, this is kpop only #12)

 

After watching the video again...

- The song is still quite meh. It gets better after the bridge though, but that last minute is not going to save it.
- Sakura has never sounded and looked better, but that hat is ridiculous.
- Nako centering the dance break at the end is such a lol but she killed it!
- Why is one of the girls a Lisa (Blackpink) clone? ddd
- I can't at the dance during the chorus being basically a I'm just dunking this tea

 

OH MY GOD the live choreo SLAAAAAAAAAYYYS. I am soooooooo proud of these girls!!! I need a dance version NOW!

 

Opinions are like assholes.

but this is not an opinion, it is a fact.

No freakin' joke. I thought Rumor would haunt my dreams but no it's going to be this live performance. These girls are something special.

iTunes Philippines #1 album
iTunes Japan #3 album
Hanteo charts: 26,699 sold

 

Some really need a cleanup.

 

That clock formation at the beginning of the choreo, so damn cool to look at

 

Just in case anyone missed their debut live performance of La Vie En Rose:

Worth checking out, probably the best choreo any 48 girls ever participated in

 

"[INFO] 'COLOR*IZ' by IZ*ONE has now the record for the BIGGEST first day sales on Hanteo by a girlgroup debut album EVER! We did that WIZ*ONE!!!"

In case anyone is wondering how their sales numbers compare to the usual kpop debut.
Edit: Take it with a grain of salt though.
===========
Also, we're at 34,227 copies already.

There is some kind of math that would give us a reasonable understanding of the slope and expectation, but while No Way Man may be easily caught, how is BNK48 at 12 million after just a month and a half?

 

Is this beind sold in Japanese stores?

 

Their charting is fantastic for anyone wanting to know. Right now we are currently in the new generation era for Korean Girl Groups, this generation started in 2014. The only Girl Groups to chart like this on all the major Korean ones are: TWICE, BLACKPINK, RED VELVET, MAMAMOO, GFRIEND, MOMOLAND. Thats it. Only 6/100+ Girl Groups. IZ*ONE is now the 7th. This is very impressive guys.

 

I would think so. Sounds silly not to.

Oricon now separates imported CDs sales chart from usual sales chart, you can check it here (prolly we will see the result on next day). Alternative, you can check Tower Record's Kpop Chart. Currently they are in Top 20.

I heard that Thai people love free item streaming youtube. And apparently BNK48 is very popular, thanks to KFC

 

izone's single is being sold in tower records and hmv japan. it's currently #1 on itunes jp digital

 

J-line!
