Popular Korean girl groups are making inroads in the Japanese pop music scene, following in the footsteps of boy bands that have drawn a sizable fan base after their debuts there last year, according to Yonhap News.
Five-member group Kara will present its first showcase in Japan on Feb. 7 in Akasaka Blitz, a live venue in central Tokyo, her agent DSP entertainment said. The show was initially planned as a one-off event, but fans' rush to buy tickets prompted organizers to add one more show to the Kara First Showcase in Japan 2010.
The seven-member sensation, After School, is set to attend the Billboard Japan Music Awards ceremony in Tokyo on Sunday, where the group will receive K-pop New Artist of the Year 2009 award.
The new 14-member Exile and BoA, an established star already active both in Korea and Japan, will also attend the award ceremony set to be broadcast in nationwide Japan.
