Really love how CCM is handling this promo so far.. T-ara's Let's Go Dream Team was aired just a day before the MV release and it's really good that they are doing radio shows besides the usual TV appearance and lives.. let's hope for another great comeback from the girls..

I am just happy that these two venerated actors are showing up for... ANOTHER T-ARA DRAMA MV!!! Guys have you seen the new trailer? I'm totally psyched that T-ara will not do just another "dancing-in-a-box" MV.. I really loved their country scenes because it reminded me of when Hyomin stolen my heart in Invincible Youth 1 :wub: I wonder if she had any input in this...

Well, the better N4 performs, the quicker we'll get a full T-ara deck on stage (I hope).. that being said, I'm really excited with Rural Life's concept, CCM said its going to be "breaking away" from T-ara's normal color today, but I'm hoping that they are going back to the hip-hop vibes of 'Breaking Heart' and 'Absolute First Album'... Rember Falling U, Wanna Play, I Go Crazy Because of You, etc? I still got'em in my playlist even now! PS: Anyone knows what the 'Rural Life' drama was all about?

Gaaah... Eunjeung & Ahreum are so hot! This new comeback look is sizzling. There's going to be a lot of competition with several top acts all coming back in May, but I really wish N4 will be succesful so we can't get back on track ASAP with a full group comeback (hopefuly with Dani also).

Hyomin looks like she just stepped out of the shower As usual, Hyomin scores mega points for creativity, sexyness and just-plain crazyness.. but looking at her outfit, I'm really getting curious about this new song especially the live performances. Also, will each member get their own style like lovey dovey? Or will we see the other members also going spiked & skimpy?

Hello I'm xbot and I approve this photo ..but seriously, the stylist (Hyomin?) really did a good job.. Jiyeon looks like a hip hop goddess while still looking like a cuute doll

Anyone else are reminded of Hyomin, Eunjeung & Jiyeon's 'Choo Choo Train' performance in Budokan 2012? That was practically the sub unit plus Ahreum.. Anyway, I'm just happy that news sites are throughly analyzing something that may or may not actually be in their comeback (she could be buying stuff for their summer Japan concert or souvenirs for her friends for all we know), its free advertising for the new unit... and it's not negative for a change. I'm not sure if there is any correlation but ever since the news on the new unit came out, T-ara songs are surging up and down again in the GOMTV top 100 charts (counted 10 once), Roly Poly even almost got into top ten.. You may like the new sub-unit or not but it sure has created some interest for T-ara.

The '48 groups are a force of nature (they often break one million in album sales) so #2 is an AWESOME accomplishment.. The Ninki pre-ranking placed Kyari Pyamu-Pyamu at number #1 and yet it got #3 with 8,600 day one sales (compared to T-ara's 40k+) so its a huge success in my book. Congrats! And a great thank you to all the Int'l Queens who also pre-ordered Bunny Style!

Wish they would just go all out with the outfit and wear the bunny ears (I'm really looking forward to that)... maybe in the next few days?

Hmm, they start from February 20 (around next week).. and Banisuta launches March 20.. well I guess It's a good strategy to create a hype before the official launching. If you follow Oricon you'll noticed that the J-charts moves really fast. Unless your super-duper popular (like AKB48) the highest sales will only be during the first week of the song's release and will sharply go down afterwards (which is why usually 60% to 80% Oricon top 10 weekly charts are filled with "new" songs). So its actually more effective for CCM to promote T-ara in Japan before the releases than after. I guess the Japanese are so punctual that most of the people interested in buying the CDs will buy it as earliest as possible PS: Here is a great youtube channel if you are interested in following the Oricon weekly charts : http://www.youtube.com/user/hexie0000001

Is the Bunny Style banner at the front page official? So I guess we are getting the bunny girl concept (hopping with joy ) Eunjeung's solo is a must for me and also at least one of the sub-unit groupings since they have the MV DVDs (not sure which one to get ~all?).. still hard to decide without seeing the album jackets first & can't wait for the teasers... I'm also praying they choose J-originals than doesn't stray too much from T-ara's high standard in songs..

T-ara & Speed members? You just know that Arts School is full of talented and gorgeous students.. a real life Dream High?

Lol bunny style.. though I would totally drool all over it, I do hope they won't do a 'Playboy Bunny' concept (remember what Qri wore singing Aitakatta with Boram at Budokan?) :P Playboy's pretty protective of their brand (just ask GD&TOP) Anyway, do they give a discount for pre-ordering? I hope they will make a package deal for the full set. + Definitely would purchase it through Diadem Forum!

That's one great perk of Eunjeng being an MC on this type of show.. she'll get a lot of good networks and connection with other celebrities and check out Eunjeung's close friend & former T-ara member: Spica's Yang Jiwon! She's doing great now featuring in Baechigi's new song.

What more good news? He.. he.. really thrilled with this one. It will be a really new experience for Eunjeung, especially since she won't have a senior MC to guide her. On the other hand I think she needs to take the lead, Amber, while awesome in Invincible Youth 2 didn't actually spoke that much there. Can't wait for their special performance although Amber needs to start wearing high heels or Eunjeung should wear flats because boy does Eunjeung look tall in that picture..

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!

Even if its an original j-song I hope that T-ara will stick to their own team of producers and composers or at least be extremely picky in choosing the Japanese musicians they work with.. SNSD's Mr. Taxi & Paparazzi was okay but I couldn't get into any of 4minute, Orange Caramel & Kara's Japanese original songs..

Also the news about the conversation was 'edited' actually didn't came from CCM it was actually from news websites' investigation (wow internet tabloid journalist working to vindicate T-ara..? that's rare) I've read AKP's translation but I would trust it more if our usual Diadem translators could post this.. Thanks Oh yeah and it's really not that difficult to edit images.. I did this in 30 seconds with paint (printscreen, copy paste to paint, crop, erase text, write text) Now imagine what a dedicated anti with a dedicated software can do. Another one for all you conspiracy theorists out there... Isn't it a coincidence that this 'mini scandal' came out during CCM's promotion of SPEED? Just like the previous scandal during 'Day by Day' promo & half the members with Drama acting plans? I know there were incidents & CCM blundering that sparked the scandals but somehow every thing CCM does get negative press & blown out of proportions just when it was gearing up to get into the major leagues. K-pop has a cutthroat competition going on, I wouldn't be surprised that other agencies are loving CCM's troubles.

Hi guys there is news that Soyeon's conversation was actually 'edited' by an anti-fan.. hope Diadem will post this news soon.

That would really be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance!

On one hand its really sad & ironically unfair that a conversation with friends could be turned into a widely reported scandal. (Netizens gossiping about Soyeon 'gossiping'? Please... and did she actually said anything mean?) And now no matter what CCM say or do not say, the buzz is already on. On the other hand.. I totally agree, Soyeon & the other members should've learn by now: DO NOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS especially with a bunch of no-life net-buzzards constantly circling around you trying to find any slight mistake.

Great news & now since T-ara is also being supported by their label mates Speed, 5dolls, The Seeya & Davichi, I hope 2013 will be a great year for them and the CCM clique

A huge perk in being a CCM artist: Getting into T-ara's dressing room ! But seriously, will love to see any translations, Boram seemed to be in "Big Nunna Mode" which is really rare

Well the good thing is that now there is a lot of discussion on the boards on how T-ara members are actually genuinely good actors compared to other actor idols. Whether they get to be cast or not in Iris 2, I don't see that this current news topic will be negative for them. I much prefer reading this compared to the discussion on how Eunjeung should get into a catfight with Oh Yeon Seo over Jang Woo (EJ would totally taekwondo kick the crap out of her btw ).

Really sad that the Soyeon news wasn't true.. but if another member had to be cast, I would love to see Jiyeon finally getting an action role. Her character blew me away in Cry Cry & she is great with Taekwondo, she'd be perfect as a rookie agent.
