Actor Lee Min-ho tops Japan chart

Actor Lee Min-ho topped the Oricon daily chart in Japan on the day of his first album release there Monday, an official at Lee’s agency said, according to local media reports.
It is exceptional to have a Korean actor top one of the most prestigious charts in Japan, though Korean singers have taken the honor before.
“It is very surprising that such a result came out when the album did not accompany big promotions or TV appearances”, local entertainment industry experts were quoted as saying.
“It appears that there have been people waiting until the album release as his popularity in Japan has been proven through DVD sales for his drama”.
Lee earned international stardom after starring in TV drama “Boys over Flowers” in 2009.
The album “My Everything”, which he released to show his gratitude to his fans, includes six songs such as “Always You”, “Love Motion”, and “You, Me and Us”.
Lee, who had a concert in Seoul over the weekend, will now head to Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

[Exclusive] JpopAsia Interviews Silver Ash

Silver Ash has always marched to the beat of their own drum. As band after band have recently announced their disbandment, Silver Ash bucked this trend, announcing instead that they would be rising from the ashes, coming together once again after an 8 year hiatus to reform the band. The band originally formed in 2000 in Beijing, China, becoming the country's first visual rock band in the style of Japan's visual kei movement. They quickly gained popularity and found success, carving out their own place in a music industry dominated by ballads.
