nathaniel Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Six-member girl group T-ara will be making their Japanese debut in March, according to their agency Core Contents Media on Tuesday. The girls will fly into Japan on Sunday for a five-day stay during which they are scheduled to hold a press conference regarding their single album as well as shoot a commercial with boy band Cho Shin Sung. Both K-pop idols were cast for the commercial by a company in the restaurant business, said to be highly popular amongst youngsters, which holds numerous chains throughout Japan. Core Contents Media said the singing groups will each receive a minimum guarantee of one billion won, equivalent to about 87 thousand dollars. T-ara made their debut last year with a song for the soundtrack of MBC drama "Cinderella Man." The girls then released their debut single "Lies." The girls and boy band Cho Shin Sung had collaborated on the digital single "TTL (Time to Love)" and "TTL Listen 2" which topped music charts during the latter half of last year. T-ara took their first solo win with "Bo Peep Bo Peep" from their first full-length album early this year, taking the top awards on music programs by Korea's major broadcasters.

AnthonyTcK Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 this is great news but than again this also means they will have to be worked out for the debut in Japan >.<. i had thought that Mnet would make the girls settle their position more in Korea first before hitting other country's. maybe i'm thinking at the wrong direction? anyway thanks for translation and sharing this news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina. Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Glad to hear that they got a CF with SuperNova... although this makes me worry that they will over work because they have to promote their repackaged album and debut in Japan too X_X Personally I find it weird for T-ara to sing in Japanese.... since I love them in Korea with their awesome music.... the only group that is successful in Japan are DBSK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l-arf Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 What?! I'm happy they are debuting in Japan because the industry tends to be less strenuous when it comes to their schedule and artists get paid more, but it seems a little early to be pushing them. I would say summer would be nice because they have just released the new songs. So that means promotions will be cut short for this and there will be little time for resting.

jupitergirl2888 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think that the win at the beginning of the year really started 2010 in the right direction for T-ara! I'm super happy for them, they're getting more recognition. Does this mean they will release a single/album in Japan or is it a Japan version of their album. Well anyways great news! Thanks!

nhocsieuquay Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I hope they'll work hard and get successful in Japan. Because in there, so hard to win. =.= Even DBSK's spent 4 years to get sucessful. ^o^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollercakes Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 japan has a pretty prestigious and difficult music industry; it takes a shitload of work to do well there. i really hope the company knows what it's doing, and that it won't half-ass their debut and their time there coughbigbanganyone?cough do any of them know any japanese?

madseewhy Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 well maybe going to japan isn't such a bad thing, but then again there are always pros and cons,and how people weigh it.. i hope they'll do well where ever they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Ricardo Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 i'm not greedy or anything but i want them to stay in Korea even though i live in the U.S. XD so far T-ara and F.Cuz are poised to be making debuts in Japan. whats up? On the plus if they don't really know Japanese then that means we could get the song in english lol I still wish and hope nothing but the best for them Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expired Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Although it's great that they're getting recognized in Japan, I wished that they promote more in Korea before moving into the Japanese music industry so early. If they do succeed in Japan, I hope they don't stay there for a long time like CSJH The Grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemyLeeDC Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I do not know whether i should be happy for them or not. Within a year, they are already making their debut in Japan and achieve things that no other rookies have manage to do. They should stay in Korea and continue to promote there. I mean what can they get in return when they debut in Japan? Of course there will be more fans. But not much they can accomplish. They need to work really hard to succeed in the Japanese music industry. Im not against Japan or anything but I really hope they will not stay there for a long period of time. Damn their company always have to make them busy. A great start for the year though. Wish them all the best!! Thanks for sharing:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn_xx Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 to japan then to the world!!;D but make sure they don't stress out themselves..i hope they'll rest well once they got freetime.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suppy13 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 This is a good opportunity for them but I hope it doesn't get too much for the girls. DBSK had to WORK THEIR ASSES OFF at the beginning, they said they went through a depression and even thought about quitting, thats how tough it was. Although now they're considering one of the best groups in Japan with hundreds of thousands of fans, at the beginning they were performing to like 100 people at a time. If T-ara want to make it in Japan they have really prepare themselves for killer schedules, and they have to learn the language. IMO I think it's too early, give them at least another year where they will be more skilled and with more experience in this field so that they can be more prepared.
