Due to the naval ship sinking incident, as well as the MBC strike, more  shows involving our girls have been once again canceled for the week: Music Core, Inkigayo, Music Bank, We Got Married, Star King, FO2, and Invincible Youth. Soshi will be in Shanghai for their ITNW concert anyways, so they wouldn’t have appeared on the music shows regardless. Chinese SONES: Fancams please~ =]

We also told you earlier that Japanese singer Erika Umeda (former member of C-ute and ZYX) was a fan of Soshi. While the Japanese and Korean music industries are closely linked, with Korean artists often promoting in Japan, SNSD has never promoted there before. Soo.. how exactly does this happen then?

I’m calling hax. Run Devil Run has made it into the top 10 most viewed for week 15 in the Japan Oricon charts (Similar to U.S. Billboard or Korean GaOn). Oh! was previously 54th on the chart in the 2nd week of February. Of course, Japan is not the only country that has seen SNSD on their charts with no promotions. Singapore, Philippines, and Malaysia (iirc) all have had our girls in the top 10 of various charts in the past.
