i think kara may have ranked so high because they seem to have had a lot of controversy with their korean label? that's why they were releasing stuff in japan only for a while. they do have some korean stuff out now, though 2012 was when they flooded japan with tons of stuff.

On January 2011, it was stated that four KARA members (all minus Gyuri) filled a lawsuit to terminate their exclusive contracts with DSP Entertainment. However, it was later revealed that Hara decided not to join Seung Yeon, Nicole and Ji Young in terminating her contract. Due the conflict DSP Entertainment suspended any Korean group activities as they declared they will no longer be managing the three members. On the following days reports about the five members and DSP Entertainment meetings surfaced, however the company has not yet released an official statement about a possible agreement.
