According to Oricon Reiwa Ranking, BTS is the best selling artist with 48.15 billion yen or 312m USD

    Is this just music sales or includes touring as well?


    Regardless this just proves that BTS are arguably the biggest foreign act ever in Japan. Other kpop acts don't even compare...


    Even if it's just 5 years data, it is iconic that a foreign act is the most consumed artist in Japan in those last 5 years. Just shows how popular BTS actually are in Japan. They are not just beating other foreign acts there but local acts too in terms of music consumption.

    And they haven't even stepped a foot in Japan since September 2019. So this is just the beginning.....

    Touring is not included. It's album, DVD/blu-ray, and digital sales.

    Why are people saying Arashi are inactive? Because I remember them clearly releasing songs by Bruno Mars around dynamite era

    The Bruno cover was one of the last things they did in Sept 2020. They are technically in a hiatus since Dec 31, 2020. All release since then are planned content prior the hiatus - mainly compilation albums. Also since the Johnny scandal, they worked to establish their own company and since then each member on their own things + get married - family etc. I think they will return eventually when they square and be independent of Johnny’s.

    And we have users on akp trying to convince us that BTS isn’t the biggest kpop act in Japan when they are literally the biggest foreign artist since Michael Jackson and consistently competing with the biggest local artists in Japan


    On the outside, that's how they want to appear. But when the TRUTH sinks in, haters be like . . . . .

    That song didn’t sound like any Bruno track I’ve heard. It was an original song
