[lysblack.livejournal.com]

The showcase tickets for popular K-pop girl group After School’s performance at Akasaka BLITZ went on sale today. Over 50,000 people attempted to purchase the tickets, but with a 3,000 ticket capacity (for two stages), all of the tickets were sold out in one minute!

After School has collaborated with Amuro Namie for her collaboration album, “Checkmate!” and has even sang at ‘Tokyo Girls Collection by girlswalker.com 2011 SUMMER/SPRING’ despite not having made their debut in Japan yet.

As reported, the group will make their debut with their new single, “Bang!”, which is set for release on August 17th.

Their debut single is a Japanese remake of their song that is already popular in Korea. At their July performance at Tokyo, it is expected that “Bang!” will be performed at this live.

god bless the power of goddess namie and queen uee.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

they must be really glad that they have uee in the group, without uee there would be no namie collab, thanks to the fact that uee is a bit popular there because of you are beautiful.

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

this will not happen though

[spread.livejournal.com]

Good job.

[saumon.livejournal.com]

clearly Japan appreciates them more than Korea!!

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

They will probably sell in just one month what they have sold in their entire career in korea

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

lol definitely.

[eccentricvibe.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be surprised.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

Hope those 50,000 buy their cd, pledis needs the money

[vag-breath.livejournal.com]

ikr

[saumon.livejournal.com]

THIS. but pledis seems to be rolling in cash lately.....having plans for so many subgroups

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

srsly

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

lol

[steeele.livejournal.com]

how many new members are they adding for those sub units again?

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

no actual info about it was released.

but they have three pre-school girls in waiting.

[steeele.livejournal.com]

idk what that even means

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

pre-school girl is the term they use for pledis trainees who are specifically prepared to join after school.

[spread.livejournal.com]

Back-burner bitches..

[steeele.livejournal.com]

Ha!

[tugtugbeds.livejournal.com]

WERK!

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

Bless Goddess Amuro's powers. I feel they will be hot shit in Japan.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

and pledis better not fuck with them in Japan.

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

A little more afraid of how Avex is going to mess around with them actually...

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

erm i'm not too familiar with Avex but I was so pissed off with all of Pledis' recent decisions. Like graduating Bekah, splitting them into two groups and then having Jungah shafted to be with OC and having one whole bunch of random pre-school girls. I used to like AS but not so much now with all those changes they are making, it's too much too soon imho.

[as-holic.livejournal.com]

*nods* kinda afraid... Avex is probably behind all this mess...

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

Somehow I don't think so, given that the only people who have decent sales in Japan are the ones who are already very popular in Korea minus like one or two outliers. I don't think that's a coincidence.

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

they have backing of Namie Amuro, they're ahead other groups trying to debut in Japan.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

they did one song with her where they were glorified backup dancers. how is that "backing"? is there an article out there saying she's going to be active in their japanese career?

[kekeke0-o.livejournal.com]

eeeeee so happy for them!! hope they can still cash in on all the fans that got shafted :O

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

So the venue has a 1,500 person capacity. Not impressed.

[xredada.livejournal.com]

But over 50,000 people attempted to purchase the tickets. THATS impressive.

[xredada.livejournal.com]

So happy for the girls. I can't wait to hear their Japanese songs. Even thought i'm soo sad about Bekah leaving and Pledis being such trolls lately, I just can't ditch this group. I'm still in love with their collab song with Namie (my ringtone).

[fondle.livejournal.com]

wait so i haven't checked them out in a while
where is bekah
and why can't i recognize half of them
/what the fuck/

[fondle.livejournal.com]

loool oh boy

[ayeveee.livejournal.com]

bekah is ~graduating~ after school and shes moving back to hawaii to pursue whatever her interest was
pledis added new people into the group and they're gonna have sub units etc etc

[fondle.livejournal.com]

[minniecouture.livejournal.com]

[wealthyriver.livejournal.com]

I'm actually surprised that the news come from the japanese media, not from their korean counterparts o____0

Over 50,000 people attempted to purchase the tickets, but with a 3,000 ticket capacity (for two stages), all of the tickets were sold out in one minute!
Wow~ How much does each ticket cost?
