You really have taken up the mantle left by inoj/wendy.

[queefing.livejournal.com]

yeah i wonder why that is.

[handfonewallie.livejournal.com]

Tower Records is one store. Don't see how this is news at all especially since it's Tower Records.

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

I totally agree, the last line is relevant at least.

GOOD FOR THEM!

But what the hell are they wearing in that picture? I'm not digging it. :|

[gyuri.livejournal.com]

none of their lupin outfits are good.

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

cool but i doubt they'll sell as much as they did with mister. i predict 4-5k total.

[gyuri.livejournal.com]

i predict they will because kara is stunning, flawless, amazing, etc, etc. and japan loved them even before they released their stuff.

[gyuri.livejournal.com]

…you must be new.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

Good god those outfits are unfortunate.

But as to the article -- good for them.

Re: Japanese name fail

[last-thread.livejournal.com]

i'm guessing the first one was a typo, cos the article does say "nakajima mika" :)

Get it bbs~
I can't wait for their Korean come back too ;__;

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

you mean Nicole? yeah she is a bitch like that

[handfonewallie.livejournal.com]

That's such a good idea. The Mister single outsold everything they've ever put out and probably will put out in Korea. Why go back home where you're B-List? They should live it up in Japan.

Doesn't Seungyeon still have cracked vertebrae, how are they going to promote this? Or is that greatly exaggerated?
