B.E.G. - Abracadabra (Japanese Version)

Recently many K-pop groups have been expanding into Japan, with KARA and SNSD making huge debuts and 4minute returning with their second Japanese single, while the Brown Eyed Girls have more silently entered the mix.  They have had a showcase in Japan and have released their Japanese Album (no digital release) in late August.  But now their korean hit Abracadabra has finally surfaced in Japanese form, check it out below:

So how do you think they'll do in the Japanese market? as successful as in Korea?

4minute Releases Japanese Single!

Well, it's finally here! 4minute has officially released their Japanese Single of I My Me Mine.  The single contains their Japanese version of I My Me Mine, as well as their first original Japanese track, グッバイ (Goodbye).  This track is a slower tempo track which really shows off their vocal ability.  Lets hope to hear some more great songs from them in the future and success in Japan and the rest of Asia

AKB48 – Heavy Rotation PV [LQ]

Check out the AKB48’s Heavy Rotation PV. Right now, only the LQ version is available and to upload it on to YouTube, I mirrored the video but it’s still watchable. There’s a lot I want to say but I’ll hold off on it until a higher quality version shows up. Till then, enjoy.

The single will be released on August 18.

*Note: I uploaded the video myself so if you plan on sharing on another site/blog/forum, please be sure to link back to my blog. Be sure to check out our AKB48 Thread.

KARA Polls

If you’ve noticed at the sidebar, we have 2 KARA themed polls going on. The first poll “Who is your favourite member from KARA?” is a poll Ryuu and I made because we’re posting our own KARA Ranker and wanted to see which members were the readers favourites before we posted ours. Since KARA’s debut in Japan is fast approaching, I thought I’d share my thoughts on how well I think KARA will fare in Japan and what it’ll take for them to be successful and stuff like that. But before I post it, I’d like to see what people about the second poll “Which KARA member will be the most popular in Japan?” If for some reason you can’t find or see the poll, here are direct links to them.

We'll be ending the polls soon so please vote, it only takes a few seconds.

Maki Goto - EYES PV Released

Move over Kumi Koda, The Goddess Maki Goto is now the new Queen of Sexy. Maki’s second PV EYES used to promote her new mini album ONE has finally been released. I gotta give it to her she brought whole new levels of sexy in her video. She’s so seductive. Who in their right mind wouldn’t fall for her? Let’s hope she can reach #1 on the Oricon Charts.

Maki Goto – Hoseki PV Released

OMG! Maki Goto’s Hoseki PV has finally been released. I was rather surprised with the PV. In the [PV preview], they showed behind the scene shots of EYES and shots of her preparing for her comeback. I didn’t think those scenes would actually be part of the full video. In any case, they’re a nice edition. The only “PV scene” is various solo shots of Maki wearing a beautiful purple dress dancing around a chair in an empty room. As always, Maki looked breathtaking throughout the entire video. I could stare at her all day. What does everyone else think of the video?
Be sure to check out our Maki Goto Thread. *Note: I uploaded the video myself so if you plan on sharing on another site/blog/forum, please be sure to link back to my blog.

For those of you who don’t know, Maki recently lost her mother in a tragic accident and this song was written as a dedication to her. You can really feel the emotion in her performance. *Note: I uploaded all the videos myself so if you plan on sharing on another site/blog/forum, please be sure to link back to my blog.

KARA - Mister (Japanese Ver.) MV

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!! Yes, the MV that all of us KARA fan have been waiting for since their Korean release is FINALLY here!!!  The song sounds great in Japanese. I feel as though they transferred it to Japanese quite nicely, they kept the same sound and consistency which took over Korea way back in 2009.  In the MV, they still stick to the same general style as before, but we get to see some new styles, such as their military one, that show off their sexiness/cuteness.  I'll try and post a better quality version once it is released, but for now check out the MV for yourself and tell us what you think!!

C-ute – “Dance de Bakoon” Details

C-ute’s 13th single is titled Dance de Bakoon has been announced to be released on August 28. It’ll be released in 3 versions; Regular, Limited Type A, and Limited Type B. The Single V version will be released on September 1st. Although the covers haven’t been released yet, we do get to have a look at their costume from their profile pictures. I’m not gonna say anything about their outfits till I see the PV. Also, here’s the tracklist and radio rips to C-ute’s new single. I’m not a big fan of the A-side here. It’s just not that catchy. The B-side Kore Ijou Kirawaretakunai no on the other hand is the diamond in the dirt here. It’s so much better than Dance de Bakoon. It almost has that level of fierceness that Forever Love has. It’s not quite there but still pretty damn good. TracklistBe sure to check out our C-ute Thread.
