K-POP in Japan

Korean Pop is big business in Japan - you see and hear a lot of it on TV and while walking out n about town. K-POP has been around for a while in Japan but seems to have really taken off last year in 2010 with groups like Girls Generation (少女時代) [소녀시대] who reached top 2 in the Oricon charts with "Gee" and KARA reaching top 5 with "Mister."
