[110126] SM Concert in Tokyo – TVXQ Standing Strong and SHINee Shining Bright




What was remarkable was the rapid rise of “new-comers” such as SHINee and SNSD on the Japanese stage. SHINee showed their potential with a hugh fanbase even before their offical debut, and SNSD attracted lots of Japanese girls who want to be like them.

Most of the audiences were young women. 95% of them looked like women of 20s. The rest were families who came to enjoy various singers in the portfolio of SM Town.

SM Entertainment is estimated to have made 40 billion Won in ticket sales. The ticket price was 12,800 Yen (166,400 Won).

It is also encouraging that this concert was a “preliminary” one for a concert at Tokyo Dome in April. SM is expected to make approximately 160 billion won just in ticket sales through the concert at Tokyo Dome, which can accomodate about 100,000 people.

SM Entertainment has generally been known for making money through its cash cows like TVXQ, SNSD, and Super Junior. However, SM’s world tour showed that it is a company with a powerful portfolio including growing engines such as SHINee and f(x).

Apa yang luar biasa adalah peningkatan pesat dari “pendatang baru” seperti SHINee dan SNSD di panggung hiburan Jepang. SHINee menunjukkan potensi mereka dengan adanya sebuah tempat untuk penggemar bahkan sebelum debut resmi mereka, dan SNSD menarik banyak remaja perempuan Jepang yang ingin menjadi seperti mereka.

Sebagian besar penonton adalah remaja perempuan. 95% dari mereka tampak seperti wanita berumur 20-an. Sisanya adalah keluarga yang datang untuk menikmati berbagai penampilan dari penyanyi dalam SM Town.

SM Entertainment diperkirakan telah memperoleh 40 milyar Won dari penjualan tiket. Dengan harga tiket 12.800 Yen (166.400 Won).

Hal ini juga mendorong bahwa konser ini adalah suatu “awal” untuk konser di Dome Tokyo pada bulan April. SM diharapkan untuk mendapat sekitar 160 milyar won hanya dari penjualan tiket konser di Dome Tokyo, yang dapat menampung sekitar 100.000 orang.

SM Entertainment secara umum telah dikenal untuk menghasilkan uang seperti melalui TVXQ, SNSD, dan Super Junior. Namun, tour dunia SM memperlihatkan bahwa itu adalah sebuah perusahaan dengan jabatan yang kuat serta termasuk mesin yang sedang berkembang seperti SHINee dan f(x).
