Wow this is really incredible news.. I always dreamed of an Eunjeung solo & excited for the others also. Boram & Qri can actually sing you know if they got the right keys suitable for their voices (Boram even had a solo album before joining T-ara).. oh yeah anyone knows what Banisuta means? Tried to google translate it and came out zip.. Still I would much preferred it if all the songs were combined into one album as I hate to see the girls competing with each other for the sales. Oh, guess I have to buy them all then... DAMN YOU CCM!

After the great love Malaysian Queen's showed the girls last year, I'm not surprised that they have a soft spot in their hearts for that country.

Soyeon, you love Malaysia so much? Well, MYqueen's love T-ara alot too..

So it seems some people want this subbed... so... I guess we'll sub it ^^

[13.01.25] Quick News/Rumour - Eunjung to appear in "My OOO" CF An online post on a cafe that posts audition notices posted a notice looking for child actors for a CF for "My OOO" and said that T-ara's Ham Eunjung is starring in the CF. *** Source: http://cafe.daum.net/dangstart/Pdsp/152?docid=4079035659&q Credit: Nathaniel @ Diadem

The promotion technique is clearly just a cheap ploy for CCM to make money, if we're assuming that fans will be willing to buy all the different versions, so I'm a bit torn, because at the same time I'm happy the girls are finally promoting original material in Japan. I do hope the production quality is up to par with their Korean music, especially when they decide to shoot/release an MV. And the decision to make a comeback in Japan is amazingly brilliant, because I thought for sure CCM would (stupidly) try to tackle the Korean market again, even with all the bad press T-ara's still getting. On another note, I guess we should all start saving up now, huh? Unless by some act of God they decide to release ONE album with all the songs. (Oh, and because it's CCM, I won't be too surprised if that's what they end up doing months later anyway...)

So many versions... Maybe this is a test run for sub units, see which ones do well and then maybe focus on those. Goodbye wallet, was nice to meet you!

Thought this would eventually come about, since Korea's a no-go zone for them at the time being. Since it's all being released on March 20th, that's just 6 days away from my b-day and about two weeks before I'm off to basic training for 16 weeks lol. Plenty of time to see it up in 4shared Looking at the track list, it looks like the underdogs of the group (Boram and Qri) are finally actually getting something to do on their own rather than looking like backup dancers all the time and doing one-liners. Hopefully at least some of the stuff is worth listening to (assuming that Shinsadong Tiger or any other Korean producer isn't involved since this is being made in Japan - case example is SNSD in which their J-stuff is a lot worth praising than their Korean ones) because their debut album was honestly quite a letdown being full of remakes and only two original songs that felt rather empty and filler-ish. As robbe said - why on earth can't it be just in one CD for each editions?

This means no Dani in this single neither. Anyway, with all this song it would have been better release just one CD.

this is really awesome.. !! another t-ara comeback.. i cant wait to hear those songs.. T-ARA FIGHTING!!!

Cool. Though this technically makes it their 'first' Japanese album (as Jewelry Box is more of an EP, with a lot of remakes). The approach is something I didn't expect. Thought it would be nice to do different versions of a song (TTL or Cry Cry) but with different sub groups singing for each version. But the idea is good - introduce sub groups as well as showcase individual skills. But it poses a risk too, as song selection is critical (match with whatever the singer can do). In any event, let's hope they would be successful -- go out and support the girls. PS: though from what it appears this will be mighty expensive. Better scrimp and save...

I hope it's for a japanese comback. No more remakes please.
