T-ara enlist famed Japanese producers, as well as Ahn Youngmin, for “Gossip Girls” album
It’s May 1st today which means there is only two more weeks until T-ara’s third Japanese album “Gossip Girls” is released! T-ara released the tracklist back in April, but today, Universal Music announced that the lyrics (and production behind each song) were all listed up on Una-Net as a sneak peak to what’s to come!
Below is some brief information for you to be introduced to the producers Core Contents Media has decided for T-ara to work with:
01. Just Now – lyrics by Tairayoo / produced by Moriya Yasuaki
– Most famous productions: A Risa In WonderLand by Risa Yoshiki and Kimi ga Anohi Waratteita Imi wo by Ono Erena (former AKB48 member)
– Composer’s usual style: pop-rock
02. Lucky Wannabeee! – lyrics by Shoko Fujibayashi / produced by Ahn Youngmin
– Most famous productions: T-ara’s Day byDay and Goodbye, OK
– Composer’s usual style: mid-tempo and emotional
03. Keep On Walking – lyrics by MEG.ME / produced by Kota Ogawa
– Most famous productions: Yobisute Fantasy and Seventeen by AKB48
– Composer’s usual style: cutesy electro-pop
04. Knockin’ on my heart – lyrics and produced by MEG.ME
– Most famous productions: T-ara’s Bunny Style! and TARGET and GREEN DAYS by Lead
– Composer’s usual style: up-tempo pop songs with hooks
05. MUSICA MUSICA – lyrics and produced by Fujino Takafumi
– Most famous productions: – Megami wa doko de Hohoemu by AKB48 Team Surprise, Bazooka hou Hassha! by SKE48 and T-ara’s A-HA and Beautiful Sniper
– Composer’s usual style: up-tempo pop songs
Kota Ogawa, MEG.ME, and Fujino Takafumi are all part of the production team under High Kick Entertainment. You can check out more of their productions over here by clicking on their names on the left side.
In addition to that, T-ara will also have a brand new special Japanese remix version of TTL by the famous Korean DJ named DJ Hanmin. He recently gained lots of attention over in Korea after the release of his song “Show Me Your BBA SAE” late last year. I personally think this will be the start of idols jumping on the bandwagon to get him to mix their songs, as Orange Caramel already had a song mixed by him on their latest album. And as you know, T-ara are always the trendsetters in Korea!
It’s very exciting to see that T-ara will be working with an array of new Japanese producers as well as producers they’ve already worked with. MEG.ME and Fujino Takafumi have already worked alongside T-ara and have created songs for them that were similar to their original style, but with a “J-pop twist” if that makes sense. It’s also very excited to see a Ahn Youngmin had contributed his creation to this upcoming album as well!
Which song(s) are you most excited to hear? Personally, TARGET is one of my favorite T-ara songs ever so I hope MEG.ME can deliver something to that extent again! Leave your response below!
