INFINITE performs as the K-POP representative at ’2012 Summer Sonic’

INFINITE successfully completed their performance at the ‘2012 Summer Sonic‘ held in Japan on the 18th and 19th.

The boy group was chosen as the Korean representatives for this year, following the footsteps of Big Bang (2010), and Girls’ Generation (2011).

Having demonstrated their popularity in Japan with the selling out of all of their solo concerts in Japan held last September and February of this year, in addition to ranking at the top of Oricon as well as Tower Records with their Japanese singles, INFINITE was chosen as the representative of K-POP for this year’s ‘Summer Sonic’ festival as an artist to look out for.

Performing alongside artists such as Green Day, Rihanna, and Jamiroquai, INFINITE demanded the attention of the audience showcasing their flawless synchronized choreography. In addition, the boys also performed their 3rd Japanese single ‘She’s Back’s for the first time ever, gaining much love and applause from their Japanese fans.

As previously mentioned, INFINITE drew much attention for holding a surprise fan meeting event through Google+ before the event, spending quality time with a few lucky fans chosen out of the 20,000+ applicants coming from 72 countries all over the world.

INFINITE plans to officially release the Japanese version of their single ‘She’s Back’ on the 29th, followed with an arena tour in October that will draw in 60,000 audience members.

INFINITE’s ‘She’s Back’ ranks #1 and #2 on Japan’s Tower Records pre-sales chart

INFINITE has surprised both fans and Japanese music officials with their latest achievement on the Japanese pre-sales charts!

Their third Japanese single, ‘She’s Back‘, opened for pre-sales starting July 17th. Despite there being over a month left until the album’s official release, both the limited and standard editions have managed to take first and second in ranking on Tower Records‘ pre-sales!

It’s an exceptional case for the same album to take the first two spots on the chart, and has definitely surprised music representatives while also letting them know of the high anticipation fans have for the boys.

The limited edition of the album also ranked second on HMV‘s pre-sales chart, further signifying the support the boys have been gaining.

The boys’ first single, ‘BTD‘, had recorded 70,000 units in pre-orders last year and earned hot attention from the press even before their debut while their second single, ‘Be Mine‘, ranked second on the Oricon.

The boys are definitely on a roll, as they’re also scheduled to hold an arena tour seating 60,000 fans along with increased activities all over Asia, starting with a fan meet in Thailand on July 28th.

‘She’s Back’ will be released in Japan on August 29th.
