BEAST Swallowed the Islands




On March 2nd, BEAST’s DVD rose to first spot on the charts of Japan’s largest music store, Tower Trade. This DVD which reached the top as soon as it was released, is holding the first spot for two weeks now. The enthusiasm and fervor of Japanese fans were confirmed after the DVD even grabbed the third spot on the Oricon charts on the 2nd of this month.
On February 16th, BEAST first released their Japanese version of the single "Shock" in Japan. Through this single, BEAST opened fire to full-fledged Japanese activities. With the DVD, BEAST has exceeded expectations on various charts and it is anticipated that fervor will increase with a single that will be released soon. BEAST released their single in time to cross over to Japan and start single promotional activities.
BEAST’s company, CUBE Entertainment, officials stated, “Through the last showcase, the members have gained confidence in participating in Japanese activities” and “They are becoming increasily fluent in Japanese and they hope to meet the Japanese fans soon with a good image.” 
Last November, they were able to have a successful showcase in Japan with around 10,000 eager Japanese B2UTIES. And just last month they have attended well known designer's Yumi Katsura's Paris Grand Collection activities in Tokyo. This opened doors to even greater opportunities for BEAST not only in this part of the world but all over Asia as they were included in Fukuyama Masaharu's remake album.
Who knows? This could be the step towards even bigger opportunities for them not just in Asia but around the world.
