Japanese Producer wants, “SNSD-WG-Kara”

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Tsunku, one the most prestigious producers in Japan, has been getting a lot of attention for his interest in Wonder Girls, SNSD, and Kara.

Tsunku had a news conference on the ninth at the Intercontinental Hotel Allegro Hall about the first ever Korea-Japan joint audition project called “Meet Tokyo Girl”.

Tsunku who is the producer for the whole Hello Project artists, including Morning Musume, has been praised highly for his producing ability, thus giving him the authority for the final decision of this audition. Leaders of top Japanese girl groups, Saki Shimizu from Berryz Kobo, and Maimi Yajima from C_ute, also attended the news conference with Tsunku.

On this day, Tsunku said, “I think that the level of Korean music industry is very high. I was not able to access the Korean Music industry easily before. I just recently got familiar with the Korean Industry as the exchange of the entertainment goods is getting more settled in.”

He also added, “I realized that if I don’t try harder, than the Korean music Industry will take over the Japanese music industry. I want to bring Wonder Girls, SNSD, and Kara into my own company, as well as Kangta from H.O.T.”

“Meet Tokyo Girl” is a joint project between Up-Front Entertainment and Mnet Media, in which they will choose a Korean member through open auditions. Starting from the coming 10th to the 19th of April, Tsunku will be choosing the 10 finalists. After the audition, these 10 members will go through an intense training for 8 weeks, and at the end, only one will be chosen to become a trainee for Hello Project. The winner will then go to Japan, and take all the steps that a normal Japanese entertainer would take to debut in Japan

Dear TSUNKU,


Your clusterfuck known as H!P hasn't put out anything good in years. What makes you think WG/SNSD/Kara need your "help" (and Kangta in a female entertainment company just makes me LOL)... if anything you should be learning FROM them on how to not fuck up the artists you have.

Come back when you actually have something worthwhile to announce other than fail Berryz singles, KTHX.

If korea would realize that there is a hunger for korean rock maybe they wouldnt be so into pop. I miss when the trax were actually rock. BRING BACK ROSE >:o

[shonen-key.livejournal.com]

I missed the Trax a lot ;__; Their Japanese songs > Korean songs IMO

LOLZ Tsunku you one crazy motherf***er.

Anyway I'm pretty much just watching the new program for the lulz. I'm still an H!P fan and I do hope they pick someone good, but yeah should be fun to watch.

Also wtf he's totally gonna pick more than one girl otherwise it's just a waste of his time (unless they all ttly suck except for one).

IDK.
..but i don't think that it's good if you'd all think that Japanese and Korean music industry are having a war now. |D

YOU ALL BETTER BELIEVE THAT IT'S GOOD TO APPRECIATE A LOT OF MUSIC. |D

:P We do. I just thought it was funny he was admitting to something like the korean music industry taking over japan. Maybe he's just kissing ass.

[00graphic.livejournal.com]

what's? :))

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

I thought you were saying to not pick one over the other in a war or something.

[iraia.livejournal.com]

so naive lol ... this just shows how arrogant he is and how little he knows about what's not sucking him off

Lol what Tsunku? You can barely properly manage your groups and your company is failing. Once upon a time you were a alright producer, still pretty sub-bar as you just used samples from foreign music. Oh and Berryz Koubu is not a top a group, they've been neglected after C-ute become semi-popular. Once you started sexing up C-ute I lost my interest.

Also didn't LSM say he wanted to have a group like Morning Musume which is why he created SNSD? I swear I remember something like that, I know he wants to have a conveyor belt of talents like JE.

sry2say, tsunkbaby, but k-pop girl groups are about three jillion steps above H!P these days.

that being said, i'm also in H!P fandom, and... well, the idea of a korean girl is interesting, although i'm honestly not sure they'll find anything good. aren't all the cute&talented korean girls already in SM/YG/JYP/etc.? idk, why you would want to go to a foreign country and join a sub-standard girl group still living off its glory days when you've got so many opportunities in your home country...

but it's ok, if they can dig up ANYONE good out of korea and ship them off to H!P, she'll already have more talented than the rest of her company, LOL
