The 4-member Korean girl group 2NE1 released their debut single in Japan, entitled "Go Away", on the 22nd February. Since their 2009 debut, they have become the 30th biggest group in Asia and their music videos have been viewed over 2.6 million times on YouTube. They are really taking the music world by storm and are gaining a name for themselves as a super unit. K-Pop's biggest group are looking forward to doing battle in the J-Pop market.
(omitted irrelevant info)
In the middle of all this, they have secured their Japanese debut. Japanese record company Avex saw one of their performances and were reportedly shocked by the perfection of the girls' songs and their refined fashion sense. After hearing about their success in Korea, they immediately set up negotiations with the group.
The single 'Go Away' is their first Japanese language song. The ringtone of this song will be available from 9th March. As well as Japan, entry into the western market is also in sight. The leader of the group CL (19) says that she hopes that they can live up to the fans expectations.
This popular K-Pop group will surely light up the Japanese chart race.

Date: 2011-02-23 12:57 am (UTC)I'm usually not that bothered at all by the over use of auto-tune in 2ne1 songs but it pissed me off in Go Away ngl.

Date: 2011-02-23 01:06 am (UTC)As for 2ne1, only big name releasing that week that I know of is JYC, who will get number 1. No idea who else is releasing that week but luckily for 2ne1, quite a few big names fall before and after their release.

Date: 2011-02-23 02:49 am (UTC)以来、発売する楽曲がことごとく音楽チャートで1位を獲得し、昨年の「MAMA」をはじめ、韓国を中心に30冠を獲得
which would translate as "The songs to be released were #1 in all music charts, and since MAMA and with Korea as the core/center, they've 'won 30 crowns' (literally)", which I think means their songs have been hits in 30 countries, cause then the artcle talks about how they even got the attention of American producers.
