After School to debut in Japan this summer

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

Today it was revealed that nine-member Korean girl group After School will finally release their first Japanese single.

The so-called “Triple S” group – Sexy, Style and Show – already collaborated with hip-pop-queen Amuro Namie earlier this year, and after launching their official Japanese website as well as performing at a big fashion show in Tokyo, it was only a matter of time for them to announce their official Japanese debut.

Their first single, a Japanese version of their hit song “Bang!“, is slated for a release on August 17th. Before that, one month prior to their official debut, on July 17th, the group will hold their first solo performance at Akasaka BLITZ in Tokyo.

Leader Kahi about their upcoming Japanese debut, “We will work hard in order to show everyone in Japan why we are known as a group with fascinating performances in Korea. We want to meet all of you soon!”


damn the girls look hot, but i'm sad that they'll officially debut with a remake.

i'm putting my stan hat right now so i can't help but ask; are you serious? AS is one of the best, if not the best, female performance group in korea and they are recognized by that and for the fact that they don't play safe.

Not gonna lie.. I was expecting a Japanese ver. of Shampoo, since it's produced by DAISHI DANCE...

Also, I don't know how I feel about their Japanese debut. I'm going to get even more poor, I'll want everything they release!

Japanese version of Shampoo would have been good omg

[jaejunggim.livejournal.com]

On another note, WHY CAN'T SOMEBODY IN KPOP DEBUT IN JAPAN WITH AN ORIGINAL SONG ALREADY!?

Jang Geun-Suk~ bb~

Bang can work well. But it is also my least fav single from them. I got bored of it after a few days. Good luck girls! xoxo

but... wait. What about Yiyoung? Is she going to share a line with UEE/Juyeon?

[miinolee.livejournal.com]

Why Bang? I don't really feel it doing well in Japan. Maybe Shampoo and Because of You. Because of You would have been awesome...

happy for them
but yeah
it's official.
kpop groups recycle their songs to make it in Japan.
it's such a safe move...risk it people!

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

bang! is my least favourite song but oh well i'm still excite! plus it is my 2nd favourite concept ^______^

[tribblenuu.livejournal.com]

Bang could be exciting with its drums and band concept. But debuting in Japan most likely = more cute. Ugh I want fierce Ah! After School back.

/wishful thinking

[dotdotdotting.livejournal.com]

Hope they don't flop :( it's kinda inevitable that they will have to compete with snsd and be compared to them.
