Rainbow Set To Debut In Japan With A

[elementalranger.livejournal.com]

Rainbow has announced that they’ve signed on with Japan’s Universal Sigma for their Japanese debut this September!

Though they’ve yet to make their formal debut, the girls are already receiving much attention because they’re the sister group and labelmates to KARA. The girls will be kicking off their official debut with a Japanese remake of their hit track, “A“.

According to DSP Media, the Japanese have taken a lot of interest into the fact that Rainbow’s ‘belly button’ dance was banned on Korean broadcast networks.

Representatives explained, “Because of the restrictions put on girl group outfits and choreography, we were unable to show everything we had prepared. Through their Japanese promotions, however, we will be showing off their ‘belly button’ dance.”

Rainbow is also currently preparing for their follow-up promotions this month, in addition to filming for their debut Japanese music video.

Sad it's a remake but at least it's a remake of their best song. Also, new song soon?

Y can't these groups just make a new song for their japanese debuts instead of reusing their korean songs?? tsk tsk tsk

It seems to be the formula: do a few remakes & then you can release new stuff. If I had to guess, it's probably cheaper on the companies involved to release remakes. Which cheaper is better when you're taking a gamble like this.

tbh i don't see why they nor after school debut with their songs that were produced by daishi dance? but whatever
i see they're already being promoted at KARA's little sister group, i wonder if that will work in japan

Wow its like going to Japan is just the default thing to do now for a Kpop idol group, once they reach the ~2 year mark....it's like "well there's nothing left to do now, so let's just follow everybody else to Japan..." It really paints a poor picture of the transience of Kpop rn. More people should up the ante and try to debut in the US (and really stay there and TRY) or Europe or something.

I still like Rainbow though so I hope they do well. A was all around a good song with fun choreo.

I guess WG are kinda still trying? Don't think it's coming to much fruition though.

Yay, so now they can show off their ab dance without worries :D

I also hope their follow-up promotions are along the lines of 'A' as well~

Better than Kara in every single way, too bad Korea and Japan have no taste and haven't realized it.

This is the only song that I would approve tbh. Their other singles have not impressed me a single bit ;/

dspoor whatchu doin'?

i love rainbow, mostly for their sogns and jaekyung, and i wodner how they'll do in japan.

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

I have mixed emotions on this. I mean I loved A and I wish them luck. But now that they're debuting with that, wouldn't we have a case of them being only known for that as well? I mean KARA got known for their asses and SNSD (although that may not be the case anymore for them) got known for their legs so...

OT BUT I NEED A HUG

[ohaimark.livejournal.com]

Tickets to the SNSD concert at Seoul Stadium sold out in 5 fucking minutes and my homie couldn't get tickets. I already bought an early plane ticket too. WHY IS THIS MY LIFE?!
