[News] Japanese Idol NEWS Changes Release Date Because of DBSK/THSK/TVXQ

{[['']]}





Johnny's Entertainment idol group NEWS has decided to postpone the release of their new single 'さくらガール(Sakura Girl)', which was scheduled to be out on March 24th, by one week.

A representative of the Japanese Records Association analyzed the situation and said in an interview with 'Saijo Woman' that "Korea's top idol group TVXQ is releasing a new single '時ヲ止メテ(Please Stop Time)' on the same day," And "It can be analyzed that NEWS moved their release date because they are afraid to meet TVXQ on the charts."

He also said, "NEWS holds the record of 11 consecutive albums ranking first on the Oricon Charts ever since their debut. It can be seen that they fear this record might be broken if they release their single the same day TVXQ does," and "If it had been Arashi, who ranks first in overall annual sales, or KAT-TUN, who sold 350,000 copies of their single 'Love yourself〜君が嫌いな君が好き〜' that was used as the main theme song of drama "Sassy girl Snako", they would have gone up against TVXQ but this decision was a wise one."

But despite their soaring popularity, they seem to be showing a weak side in front of 'TVXQ' and fans felt upset at this saying things such as, "This makes me feel complicated." and "Why are they pushing back their release date?"

On the other hand, NEWS' '恋のABO' that was released last year has sold an accumulative 234,000 copies. 'Saijo Woman' says "These sales may reflect the best of NEWS' capabilities."

ADMIN EDIT: I have changed the original title Japanese Idol NEWS "Scared Of TVXQ" to Japanese Idol NEWS Changes Release Date Because of TVXQ as this more accurately reflects the contents of the article. The title was taken directly from the original Korean article and was written only as an attention-grabber. Apologies to any NEWS fans out there~
