After School gets praised on Japan’s ‘Sukiri’ show

After School was recently praised by Nihon TV‘s ‘Sukiri‘ program for their impressive performance.

The ladies performed the Japanese version of their debut single, “Bang!“, along with their famous drum line choreography for “Let’s Do It“. Commanding the stage with their confidence and charisma, the girls were praised by MCs for pulling off “a performance of perfection.”

After School released their debut single on August 17th and are off to a positive start, ranking in at sixth on Oricon‘s daily chart just a day after its release. The girls also sold out all 30,000 seats for their Japanese showcase in just under a minute.

A representative on scene stated, “It’s difficult to find a girl group who is as charismatic as After School in Japan. They captivate the audience with their live performance style, so singers in both Korea and Japan should begin to feel nervous.”
