On 16 February, Oricon released a report summarising the sales trends of the music software works by Korean artists, which has a growing market in Japan. In the year of 2011, the overall sales of the music software market (including singles, albums, music DVDs and music Blu-ray discs) dropped for the 5th consecutive year, but the revenues of the music software released by Korean artists in Japan saw a dramatic increase. Total revenues were a record high of 24.47 billion yen.

A total of 10 singles and albums from artists such as Tohoshinki, Big Bang, Shoujo Jidai, KARA, Jang Keun Suk, T-ara and 2NE1 won first place in the weekly (Oricon chart) rankings, 5 more than the original record in 2008, since the album rankings began being released in 1970.
