History ~

Kara debuted as a four-member group  with a jazzy, R&B sound and a strong image in 2007 with there first album The First Blooming. Kim Sunghee was forced to leave the group due to parental pressure In 2008 and was soon replaced by two new members; as such, the group currently consists of five members. As well as adding two new member the groups image changed to a more of natural beauty appeal. The five-member band went on to achieve their first number one song with Honey.

In 2010 Kara debuted in Japan starting there reign as Japan's most popular kpop artist ever, and quite possibly Japan's most popular girl group ever. By the end of that year, Kara was dubbed as Japan's number one rookie artist of 2010 by Oricon (Japanese music chart). The group also released their first Japanese album, Girl's Talk which is now gone Platinum! In April 2011 with their 3rd single Jet Coaster Love,  Kara became the first foreign female group since the creation of the Oricon (43 years ago) to rank number one  in the first week of release and the first foreign female group in thirty years to rank number one  in the charts all together. They also hold the title as the first Korean girl group to top the Oricon Weekly Single Chart.  (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_%28band%29)
