MBLAQ to Debut in Japan

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Korean idol group MBLAQ is gearing up for their debut in Japan, according to their agency on Wednesday.

The group will be performing as guests at their producer Rain's fan meeting, which will be held at Tokyo's International Forum on December 6, J. Tune Entertainment announced in a press release.

At the event, celebrating the opening of Rain's official Japanese website, the five-member boy band will be performing several songs from their debut album "Just BLAQ", including a Japanese version of their debut single "Oh Yeah".

In accordance with their visit to the country, music channel M.net Japan is planning to produce a special feature documentary on the idol group, selecting them as the first artists to star in their "2010 K-POP Star" series. The segment, set to air next January, will follow the group around for four days and shoot their experience into Japanese culture and traditions.

MBLAQ, who debuted two months ago, was created and trained by Asian superstar Rain for two years. They are the first group that Rain is introducing to the public since he turned producer.

Two of the members were recently diagnosed with the influenza virus but the group is planning to re-start their activities as a group in Japan over the weekend.

I'd like them to focus on Korea and leave Japan for much later tbh.

I don't even like MBLAQ and I want them to focus on Korea. Why always Japan ;_;? and why so soon?

[aloakley.livejournal.com]

seriously DNW. even TVXQ and BB had it hard. conquer korea first bbs

[kimchikimi.livejournal.com]

God damn,already.

[omgcats.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Several of their songs. Are they just going to make some up as they go along?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mad_hatter__/]

My thoughts too! Several songs? Really? They have several songs?

[distortedinpink.livejournal.com]

It's not like they're making a full debut with a Japanese album & tour, they're just guesting with Rain at HIS fanmeeting & doing a documentary in Japan like how F.T. Island & SS501 did =\

I'm sure their focus is still in Korea.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

They are really lucky to have rain as their boss. They kinda get to go along for the ride and gain some fame from it

[fabledlamb.livejournal.com]

I agree, it's going to be so much easier for MBLAQ to get some sort of fanbase in Japan because of Rain. He's certainly going to open a few doors for them.

But breaking into the Japanese market and gain popularity there is still going to be a lot of work for them, especially if they want to continue to promote their stuff in Korea.

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

It's not a real "debut" they're just going there with Rain.

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

Um, you're not done debuting in Korea yet.:P

Just give me a video for "Good luv" already.

[laos7.livejournal.com]

There's the MV like video n.n

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

i feel like they are leaving...

[mylittlebambi.livejournal.com]

all k-music artists got swept by the wave to japan maybe to avoid swine flu?

[kokorabbit5.livejournal.com]

ngl, my first thought was actually "FUCK NO." lmao >_>

[radical-ed57.livejournal.com]

ROOOOOOOOOOOOPE~ I LOVE YOU.

[almosthello.livejournal.com]

i guess that's cool. but maybe they should tag along with their ~father~ when he goes to the US fuck it lol

[ellystage.livejournal.com]

Um, MBLAQ, stick with working in South Korea first like for another year or two, and then go to Japan.

[livelovespeak37.livejournal.com]

D: they just debuted in korea! rushing much? :/

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

LMAO. Folks, they aren't leaving to promote stuff in Japan. Rain, their boss, is going to Japan and they are tagging along and going to be introduced. I'm fairly sure they'll be back in Korea for their regular promotions.

I guess Rain just wants to expose them to the market, to make things easier for later. I sincerely doubt he'll make a move this early, as they've just debuted in Korea. I'm sure he'll wait to really move them to the international market until after their successful in Korea.

LOL BUT STILL, MBLAQ in Japan. I'm kind of intrigued. I think they're too RAUNCHY for Japan, LMFAO.
