T-ara Takes The Plunge To Japan

3
Written by On October 30, 2010

According to their agency Core Contents Media, T-ara will sadly not be partaking in the girl group domination battle this fall. Instead of butting heads against SNSD and 2NE1, they will be jumping on the let’s-expand-into-the-Japanese-market bandwagon and make their debut soon. Apparently, a rep rushed their butt to Japan and settled the finer details of a contract with a major entertainment agency. They stated, “We will announce T-ara’s expansion into Japan at the earliest date possible, probably around the time when they are almost done perfecting their second album.”

I’d personally love to see them rehash “Bo Peep Bo Peep” for kicks and giggles. Somewhat doubtful, but I can only hope. With KARA making waves in the world of J-pop, how do you think T-ara will fare?

    I feel like they’re caught between a rock and a hard place. If they promote a new song in korea, it will be overshadowed by 2ne1 and snsd. And they’re still a bit raw to be promoting in Japan, though they aren’t completely unknown there as well because of their collaboration with Supernova on the Gusto CF.

    I think the japanese public will soon start to get tired of all the groups entering the market.And they are just riding in the coattails of Boa and DBSK. They don’t even bother to learn the language.
    The boybands like Beast will have a tougher time in Japan because JE can have them blacklisted from evety major musicshow, they did it to DBSK so they can do it again.

    the same comp they would have in korea, they would have to face in japan when those other groups eventually debut. the move feels stupid. i dnt view snsd as comp but i consider 2ne1 and miss a as comp. heading to japan with bo peep will feel to easy. no more remakes, sheesh! just get them a nw concept and a different sound.
