I have a full song in mp3 but it's in a very shitty quality. This song is all over SNSD online communities now.

I swear it was her if i didn't see what you guys were typing.

Korea boom in Japan;

A brief mention about the girls (a fangirl's recommendation!). Mostly focuses on Big Bang.

WTF Japan. You're late! We had our Korea boom here like aedons ago. :/

So yeah, The game, DJmax whatever. Have anyone played it?

Which also makes me wonder when/if the girls are gonna make a game appearance? And no, i don't think what they did for Maple story counts. Like i know half of all my customized characters in SC4 are named after and sorta looks like the girls, but i was more thinking like officially.

To cute not to post, SunMi really is a big SNSD fan : D

Yeah, there's been a Korea boom for a WHILE in Japan... It started with boa and grew larger heehee.

there's the full song/mv
http://www.sendspace.com/file/0jmp7e and i ripped the song... but i don't know why, it's still lq (not even 3 mbs)...

I think it would have been a nice song for SNSD though. It's somewhat similar to their style but in a different way... And I rikes it.

-O_sLaVe
SUNMI <3 I wonder what it would be like if she stayed with SM Ent...
T_T now I have Big Bang's song stuck in my head. Again.

Lol daesung is forever playing the dumb and dumber role.

Actually the Korean boom did not disappear at all in Japan, rather it was not on the radar of the media.

I was telling a friend of mine that kpop is making a huge boom with the fans of Asian music in North America, almost as much as jpop over the last few years. She disagreed, saying that there are still more people getting into Asian music via anime and movies, which is true, but still hasn't quite got the same mass effect. Glad to say that we're not the only ones diggin' the kpop scene!

Owaranai_sLaVe · « **Reply #2748 on:** October 29, 2008, 04:13:14 AM »

I think part of the reason why Kpop has been getting the big boom lately is because some anime/jpop fans got curious because of the somewhat rise in kpop popularity. I'll admit, I would have never listened to BoA, Se7en, or Bi (ugh I can't believe I admitted that...) if it weren't for Morning Musume (who i listened to because of anime). So I think those who followed and stayed tune to the jpop scene (especially around 05/06/07) noticed that there were a lot of Koreans (other than BoA) that were getting big in the Jpop music industry, thus leading their curiosity back to where these Koreans came from and what style they had before. I think it got even bigger when DBSK (and SS501) brought some of their kpop style and mixed it with Jpop during the rising popularity of boy bands (or come back of boy bands) in Japan. Again, LSM is just genius. But we can't forget that Kpop was once an underground music genre in Japan at once point. Only a few groups (bboys for example) listened to Kpop because of their beats and rapping, which if you compare to J-urban sound so different.
But I don't think all of this K-entertainment popularity happened because of music. Even Korean actors/actresses are getting big in Japan through their dramas (well mostly dramas). I know a good amount of K-actors have fanclubs already.

And a way to tie SNSD in here

: I find it a bit ~~odd~~ ~~ironic~~ funny (?) that SNSD is striking popularity in Japan. I thought Japan grew over the whole "big girl groups" stage after Morning Musume and other H!P groups. A few years ago, if SNSD debuted back then, I would have expected more exposure to Japan (especially since LSM loves Japan). But now, I didn't even think they'd be talked about, much less mentioned by their "opposition", Morning Musume.

And the weird thing is, the Japanese SNSD fans in the 2ch thread I used to frequent claimed that they weren't nor used to be Hello! Project fan.

Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Jessica and Sunny at Lotte World;

ferrar1 · « **Reply #2750 on:** October 29, 2008, 07:19:33 AM »

I was also introduced to kpop through BoA at that time when i was a jpop crazy fan. But girl groups like Finkl, vos, SES did not really attracted me at that time so i did not really get into kpop.

My mom (and most of Indonesian mothers) though has been a big fan of korean dramas since winter sonata days.

SunSica taking a few pecks at each other when the camera isn't shooting !!

Are they there for a variety program?

tamatron · « **Reply #2751 on:** October 29, 2008, 08:50:13 AM »

I don't think so. Just a private trip.

eta: Tae and Seohyun will be on M Countdown tomorrow. What for? No idea. I'm thinking Tae singing and Seororo on the piano. Is Tae raedy to sing yet since she's been missing in all the recent events?

Yeah, all the Filipino moms and aunts have been addicting to Korean dramas since way back when... it was to the point that my aunts were telling me who was who in the K-acting world. ferrar, those groups are awesome <3

I can not tell who is sitting with who on that roller coaster. But I'm hoping it's Jess and Tiff!

Haha time to start memorising their names in Hangul !!

tamatron · « **Reply #2757 on:** October 30, 2008, 08:29:44 AM »

And now it's removed.

This is so funny. Everytime a website put the date up, it got removed the day after.

G A H.

eta: How ever, there's a rumour that the album will be out on 14th and the girls will have their first live on 15th at the MKMF.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #2758 on:** October 30, 2008, 08:50:08 AM »

They're doing it to keep us on our toes, those bastards.

ferrar1 · « **Reply #2759 on:** October 30, 2008, 03:36:23 PM »

Yeah it builds up the suspense, even if only for a day lol
