KARA's New Japanese Drama "URAKARA"

[gator-yoong.livejournal.com]

Popular 5-member Korean girl group KARA will star in the TV Tokyo drama “URAKARA”. The drama will begin airing on January 14th.

The drama will be filmed in both Japan and Korea. The girls, who are inexperienced in love, will go to a “love shop” and accomplish love missions. The 5 members will play themselves.

KARA debuted in Korea in March 2007. This August they had their Japanese debut with “Mister” which featured their “butt dance”, which was a big hit. The 5 girls are at the peak of their popularity and they wanted to show more charm than just singing and dancing, so they all expressed a desire to act as well. They will have the joy of performing in their first drama which will be done in both Japan and Korea.

During the drama, they will try various ways to put the target man in a trance and fall for them. They are looking forward to beginning production at the end of this month, but since it’s their first time they’re also nervous.

The language will be both Japanese and Korean; when Korean is spoken there will be subtitles on the bottom of the screen. All of the members can speak conversational Japanese, but the girls are currently studying how to put certain feelings into words through acting.

I used to be a fan of KARA & now I am not...

I loved them when they still had Sunghee. BREAK IT will always be my favourite KARA song. When Sunghee left, they lost their best vocalist and the concept that drew me to them in the first place, so I don't really pay attention to KARA anymore.

I'm starting to lose track of their release schedule. Too much going on all at once. Don't work them to death DSP/Universal :\

Man all these concepts are so girly...

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Well, Japan loves girly stuff.

[aloakley.livejournal.com]

whoever's doing that to nicole's hair...>:(((

[queefing.livejournal.com]

why they gotta be "inexperienced"?

[toomanysides.livejournal.com]

because they are innocent angels~

[gwishin.livejournal.com]

Good for them, I think they really will make it big in Japan <3

[lushontop.livejournal.com]

Really now, “love shop” "accomplish love missions" "mister" and "butt dance" all in one article is just asking for it, there should be a thousand comments on this, lol.

[chocoholicnoiz.livejournal.com]

although they need a break and this sounds ridiculous GET IT LADIES

[katsup-404.livejournal.com]

uhh.... what is this?! it sounds really awful.

I want to be happy for them doing well in japan and getting things to promote themselves... but this?

is this really a "drama" though? with a set amount of episodes? It sounds more like a variety show, in which case thats awesome.

ide....

[jo-hyuksu.livejournal.com]

proud of them, cant wait for this drama, excited, etcetc.

interesting that it'll be in japanese and korean. at least it wont be awkward japanese from beginning to end. and yesss i cant wait till they become more fluent at japanese!

AND GOD I LOVE KARA'S SHOES. I SWEAR. MOST AMAZING SHOES IN ALL OF KPOP. ALL. THE. DAMNED. TIME.

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

;O;

CAN I ADD YOU AS A FRIEND JUST BASED OFF THAT SHOE COMMENT ALONE? HAVE WE SPAZZED ABOUT THEIR SHOES BEFORE? I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE.

[laety.livejournal.com]

Sound interesting. Wish they good luck for their 1st drama.

[kyurein.livejournal.com]

well we've got to deal with it if they're going to have a drama. we can't really do anything if the drama's plot is kinda weird,but I wished it would be a variety show.

I find this 'drama' for the group unusual but for me it's a promotion strategy.I think UMJ is dishing out KARA all-out while the hype on Korean groups is high, so that when the hype goes down, the group is already established then(having a decent fanbase and popularity)

it just means that Kara is really serious in getting big in Japan and I hope their hard work would be rewarded.

[luciferized.livejournal.com]

Urakara. If I take that literally it'd mean 'from behind'. No really. :/

Girls are awesome and all, but a show with mixed Korean+bits of Japanese and fucking love missions? No, please, no. |:

Nevermind the fact that this sounded more like a variety show than drama.
