T-ara is planning on making their Japanese debut having signed with J-ROCK for an impressive exclusive contract worth 350 million yen (4.7 billion won, or 4.7 million USD). The highest out of all Korean girl groups.

T-ara's company revealed to the press on June 7th, "T-ara's major label in Japan will be Toshiba EMI while the management and marketing is responsible by Johnny's Entertainment's Smile Company. J-ROCK also has plans of pursuing a multi-entertainment together in Korea as well, with T-ara tackling dramas, MCing, singing, movies, etc."

T-ara is planned to be having a showcase at SHIBUYA-AX in Tokyo (with approximately 2,500 seats) on July 5th. On that day it is expected for Japanese reporters and more than 100 broadcasting companies to cover the event.

T-ara debuted in July 2009 with 'Lies', receiving the love of the public with hit songs such as 'Bo Peep Bo Peep', 'I Go Crazy Because of You', 'Like the First Time', 'Why Are You Being Like This', and 'Yayaya'. Also with their stylish and energetic charms, they have managed to extend out to different areas with appearances in CFs, dramas, movies, varieties, and etc.

Meanwhile, T-ara is busily preparing for their Japan showcase.

interesting

wat. I haven't heard of that particular Johnny's Entertainment subsidiary before and I'm still confused as to what J-ROCK is. Anyone know?

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

neither have i but according to google it does exist!

i don't think it's a subsidiary of johnny's, but the president of smile co. is associated with j&a (he's apparently the ceo of je). i'm pretty sure it's a separate company itself just with connections to johnny's.

i just reread this and it kinda doesn't make sense :( anyways i meant to say that i'm pretty sure smile co. is a different talent agency altogether and not a part of j&a. the president of smile company is the ceo of je though, so maybe they just mixed things up or i'm just entirely wrong lol

Sorry t-ara but I'll have to forget about your showcase because that's the day when I finally get to see my goddess!! Kylie Minogue ♥

What're you playing at, Papa J.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I think Japan will like Bo Peep Bo Peep dance. Anyhow I think they will do well if they go for more cuter image in Japan than what they have in Korea.

[cette-amour.livejournal.com]

me too, i think that t-ara has a good chance of being popular in japan if they play their cards right

$100,000

[itskimbitches.livejournal.com]

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

Please bring out cute songs that dont flop like Apple is A and Yayaya. Don't do Neo ddaemune michyeo or Wae ireoni.

[bunny-lita.livejournal.com]

As long as there's no Japanese version of Yayaya, I'm cool.

[unbroken-glass.livejournal.com]

i doubt they will be associated with j&a lol.
