lizzy has sang trot several times on her variety show appearances, and OC has had some broadcast performances where they've covered trot songs! i can find them for you if you're interested :)
I think it's for a Japanese comeback! they've been really mysterious about it, though. it also looks like it's going to be released the 23rd, which is the same day as Lizzy's solo release.
I'm actually quite (pleasantly) surprised that they're still doing stuff in Japan. The recent tour was pretty small but the fans seemed to love and appreciate it and now possibly another comeback? Dress to Kill was fantastic but sold soooo poorly - I was keeping an eye on Oricon every day after the release and they just dropped off almost instantly and it may me far sadder than it should. I just love my AS babies and want more success for them :(
Let's hope the rumours about a Korean comeback in March were true too! This could be a good year for AS at last :D
they released a preview clip of the DVD yesterday, and honestly it was kind of sad to see them on such a smaller stage and venue compared to their last Japanese tour. but their Japanese releases have always been solid. I think what really hurt their Dress to Kill sales (and both the Heaven and Shh singles) was that they did no promos (as far as I can tell) other than a few mall shows and no broadcast performances from what I've seen. I think Lizzy and Kaeun went on a show to do one interview, but why didn't they do more televised interviews now that they have Kaeun in the group and OC speaks Japanese decently? And then they waited until November to promote an album that was released in March!
I'm looking forward to the Japanese comeback if there really will be one, but I doubt they'll be doing promos if it's going to be released while Lizzy is promoting. I think someone mentioned that Jooyeon's contract with avex doesn't end until March, too, so that'll be interesting that they'll release a single including her when she's technically not part of the group anymore?
Oh, they're doing a DVD release for this one too? Thanks for the info, I'd better check it out :) I saw some photos from one of the concerts on ASdaze and was a bit dismayed to see them performing in what basically looked like a town hall, but eh...better than nothing. You're right though, I hope they can step up promotions in Japan a bit though...they're underutilising Kaeun in almost every way possible right now and I'd love to see her speaking Japanese more at least.
Didn't Heaven sell quite well digitally? I was hopeful with the release of DTK but they didn't promote it and it was a bit thin on content - two singles and B-sides and a short intro and outro made for only six new tracks (or seven/eight depending on which edition you bought, I guess). A video for Dress to Kill (the song) would have been great too, and I think it might have driven sales up a bit. Their Japanese Facebook page has nearly 900,000 likes and yet they only sold 4000? The interest is clearly there but something else needed to be done :/
Hmm, would be quite nice to have one last video with Jooyeon if that's how it turns out! I'm excited regardless :)
