What about those who chose to donate but prefer not to be tagged as Donor? Will they still receive the same 'benefits'/'privileges' as other Donors?
In my case, I've requested to switch back to 'member' (preference of blue over pink). I don't mind not getting the perks (at this point), since I did request for the color/status change.
Cheers.

Hmm, the "what if" vs the "what was" (or "is" again).
More on this later. More pressing matter calls...
-
At least she didn't leave to "go back to school" and not the messy "send off" from last year (hope not).
-
I knew it, mainly a compilation (except didn't expect the solo songs to be excluded) plus 2 (or 3) Japanese originals and 1 translated single from Korean. Strange though they picked Wanna Play (probably better if they picked the other songs from AFA/BH -- probably going first with the songs that T-ara has performed).
Hope the new songs are really good (and hopefully avoid being translated like the original songs from JB -- but with the trend, does not seem like it).
But regardless how the earlier statements sound, I wish for continued success to T-ara.

One Piece! (no double meaning reference here
)"So, you wanna be my friend?" What would your answer be if T-ara asks this question? Mine is obvious.
What's next, head protectors and hakama? Okay, I'll stop with the manga/anime-ish references.
But, I do like their covers for Target (maybe because it being manga/anime looking). They are cute and still recognizable. And I do hope Target does well, even if it seems to be an interim single.

I know it's late, with N4's promotions having ended. But just to look back at their recent promotions (and have counterpart with the QBS Visual poll).
The girls want your vote!
I'll leave to you guys what "visual" is for you.
For the QBS poll: http://www.tiaradiadem.com/forums/topic/24808-poll-visual-for-t-ara-qbs/?view=getnewpost -
With QBS started their promotions, out of this sub-unit, who do you think is the Visual?
Personally, it's a hard choice, with that Mainichi part 2 (PV shooting). I'd suspect it would be harder once the MV will be released. Enough ranting, go ahead and start voting!
And here are the lovely ladies of QBS!
PS: if you're also interested, a similar poll is made for N4: http://www.tiaradiadem.com/forums/topic/24816-poll-best-visual-for-t-ara-n4/?p=416595

I just gave out examples. I'll let the Diadem staff decide if it's okay to create one. If it pushes through, the staff or I could fill in the missing ones. I'd be happy to include inputs from everyone.
Thanks.

It's likely the July schedule has been cancelled/moved to September.
Update: it seems July Budokan will still push through.. Let's wait for additional announcements.

I'm thinking what if we could have a checklist on T-ara (e.g. albums, MVs, performances, shows, etc)?
I know we already have sections for things like milestones as well as likes for Lyrics and Videos (and the posts on T-ara performances by year). I know it might be redundant, but might be useful to have an index/checklist for newer members or those who like to collect/complete 100% of anything T-ara related. It would be pretty complex, especially tracking
I know it might be a bit complex, but I'd be happy to provide with whatever I have on hand (possibly have staff members edit it as needed).
Best I could think of is something similar to Excel but that format may not be feasible in this forum. Instead something like this:
[Albums]
Absolute First Album
{track listing}
Breaking Heart (Absolute First Album repackage)
same track listing as AFA but with the following new songs:
01 IGCBOY
02 IRH
03-16 same as AFA, in same order, move down track numbers accordingly
[Music Videos]
Good Person ver. 1
Good Person ver. 2
Geojitmal (Lies)
Geojitmal (Lies) Summer ver
[Dramas]
Coffee House (Eunjung)
God of Study (Jiyeon) - cameo appearances of other T-ara members
[Variety Shows]
T-ara Variety Shows
T-ara World (2 eps)
T-ara Dot Com (4 eps)
Other Variety Shows
Invincible Youth season 1
Heroes
I thought of this since I personally want to track down anything T-ara related. Also, it would seem a good pairing in what is provided in the General Forum Rules where it states members are encouraged to direct other members to other T-ara content.
If not all (which is possibly harder to do than the Milestones), then possibly a T-ara 101 (MVs, T-ara Variety Shows, Albums), then maybe later add an "Advanced" sub-section (Perfs, Guestings, etc).
Let me know if this idea is feasible, else just delete the topic.
Cheers.

Some people do. But unless we could petition for a name change, then that i how things are. Or, you could just say you're a 'fan' or 'supporter', though I'm against the tag of "fan", due to its connotation.
Personally, being labeled as belonging to a fandom is awkward, but then again, it's an easier way to say, especially in relations with other fandoms.
And for the record, it's "Queen's".
-
Just pray that everything from last year will not repeat. Other than that, anticipating a better performance from last year (which to my mind, was great).
-
Maximize promotions on two "fronts" then converge for their 2nd Japanese album then on their comeback in Korea. It seems a good strategy, like better exposure for individual members.
I hope any success or positive feedback they receive overseas will translate to better reception in SK (but that's a tall order). But regardless of the past, it's good that they are up and having activities.
Let's support the girls (in whatever incarnation they happen to be) for their continued success.
T-ara/N4/QBS fighting/good luck/gambatte kudasai!!!
-
New choreo, huh? I hope it would be better than the original (no point in creating a new one that ends up as subpar).
Though would this imply they'd revise the songs as well? Say, stanza 1, chorus, stanza 2, chorus, bridge, chorus/finale?
PS: "surprise" guests. Hmm, much like a teacher announcing a "surprise" exams for the next day.
-
and I second that. lol, imagine the rappers handing out effs while T-ara singing non-chalant.
PS: Good thing T-ara will do their parts in Korean (sad to say, them singing a word or phrase in English is cringe-worthy enough, much less full stanzas or an entire song).
-
@aoi I'd assume they'll do remixes of the song to suit each rapper's style. Just doing straight out translation seem a waste. Plus those rappers likely want to put their stamp on the song. I just find it strange at first that 5 different rappers would do a collaboration; but then again that's the purpose of collaborations -- perceived/expected mutual benefit. In this case, T-ara to make a footprint in the US market (at least with Asian-Americans/hiphop fans) and the CB and company to make headway with Kpop audiences.
But just as discussions we have on Shoutbox, best they avoid the paths used by other Kpop artists; instead use radio airplay and similar approach to reach into the American psyche. Long term success is still doubtful, but T-ara doing better than those before them would really be great.
-
It seems nice that T-ara gets exposed in the US/world stage, but I hope it is not at the expense of their Asian activities. I could say, the US/Western market can be much more fickle, and promoting away from their usual support bases may alienate T-ara from their 'core' support.
But in any event, wish them the best. A door has been opened, so why not take the opportunity. As for those with doubts/skepticism, let's see how the whole thing unfolds. No use in spending the energy on negativity -- even if T-ara does fail, they ain't the first group to do so. And if they succeed, a bit more here and there (nothing long term for different reasons) -- my only fear for success is other groups are likely to capitalize and bandwagon on them...
PS: F-I-V-E (5) English versions? Those artists must really found something they can relate to with CSD
And should we expect a much less restraint in terms of lyrics? 
-
Thanks! Lol, I also watched it from KBS World, but great to be able to watch it again.
By the way, would you happen to have clip/s from Music Bank of T-ara's interview/comeback stage? It was also aired today.
-
Not to burst everyone's bubble, there may not be much to this (i.e. one-time thing). All I'm saying is, don't be too hyped than things will go big (it all can go bust instead). T-ara still lacks in a couple of areas (language barrier and Dani's inexperience comes to mind). But, if the girls some success in that side of the world, then why not?
Their recent US trip seems more like an introductory trip -- testing the waters on how T-ara reception would be like.
As always, sit back and see what happens. Whether they make headways in the US or not, one thing is sure, it would be interesting what they would do.
PS: as Eunjung attested, face bad news/rumors with indifference. A worthy thing to emulate (to all Queen's).
-
That was fast. I do hope by their planned concert in late July it won't be a Jewelry Box 2.0. And it seems QBS has a shorter promo cycle (not sure how promos work in Japan or an effect of not having non-Japanese on music programs there).
But in any case, the gang will be back together!
Gambatte kudasai, T-ara!!!
-
Cool! Consideirng most of us are wondering how the unnies are! Thought announcement would be later as to give more attention to N4 (but with the US trip, I think it's timely to do announce QBS -- give both units attention in more or less equal measure).
How come they have 1 less song? The title sounds like it's an anime theme (which won't be bad either). Besides the song, what concept will they do? Will it be something like in Qri's selca?
Not sure how QBS will promote this time (though I anticipate at least Mainichi QBS). But better if they have more guestings and activities.
QBS Fighting... Gambatte kudasai!
-
Good luck to the girls. And I hope they (CCM) won't force their way into the US market like other acts/agencies did. Trying to make serious attempts will just be a disaster in the making (their English skills alone would be a hindrance).
Quote: "aim small, miss small". Much like what they did for their Japan promotes or Asian showcases, best to start little and slowly.
But overall, I wish T-ara the best and hope they gain something out of their trip there.
-
Hyomin looks absolutely lovely. And contrasting seasons/backgrounds.
We support you all the way, and anticipate more great pics!
-
Highly skeptical whenI first heard it (know beater + rumored bullies). It seems more like CB will get more out of this, and T-ara left with, more... hate (assumed that is still possible).
They tried to win people over by being honest and crying (Beatles code 2), but sympathy has no effect on their haters. So might as well go down the route they started with JWD/CSD.
So long as T-ara comes out better after this, then all I have to say, why not?
Happy, skeptic, or plain dislike, let's wait and see what happens. And hope for the best.
PS: so Dani's role is T-ara's (English) interpreter. Makes sense, at least no one will criticize her for lacking any knowledge in the language. And there is Dani (will this be her debut?).

Thanks Elly.
I guess the Exclusive ones come with the color.
Good bye to being blue and short-lived green. 
Time to check out the
RestrictedExclusive stuff.PS: apologies to craZy (and possibly another staff member) for the hassle of switching me back to member. This time around, I'd stay pink-ish. And thanks for all the help.
