Big Bang will be releasing their Japanese debut single on 24th June titled ‘My Heaven’. They will be working with Universal Music Japan for their Japanese debut this time.
YG Entertainment said in an interview on the 22nd, “Big Bang had went to Japan for Japanese promotions last weekend, and had came back to Korea today. In Tokyo, you can hear ‘My Heaven’ everywhere.”
“Big Bang will not be aiming to be one of the idols working with Universal Japan but as artistes. GDragon together with the other Big Bang members will bring with them their song-writing capabilities and promote as artistes.”
The YG representative also said, “At the entrance of Universal Japan office, you can see 2 photos, one is Black Eyed Peas and the other one is Big Bang’s.”
The boys will be appearing for the morning programme ‘Mezamashitere TV’ on the day of their debut single release, and they will also be appearing on SMAP member Cho NanGang’s Fuji TV ‘Waratte Iitomo’ on 26th June.
The boys will then move on to release their 2nd single in Japan title ‘Gara Gara GO’.

Date: 2009-06-24 01:42 am (UTC)In Korea and Japan, idols aren't really taken seriously. I don't know what I mean by this, but I guess it's just that there are still idol stereotypes in Korea-- like you have to be slim, and you're not that good of a singer, and you're not that good of an actor, you're just basically an entertainer. I think that's why some people (in Korea, example: Yoo Young Suk) are sometimes surprised when an idol sings really well (and example again, Kyuhyun) or does well in one category. It's like, whoa, he can go solo, why be an idol? And that stereotype applies in Japan.
Why do I think DBSK aren't idols in Japan? Simply because they're not in direct competition with Johnny's. That's it. Yes, they're still idols if we're talking about image and packaging and whatnot, but they don't fit in the "Japanese idols" mold.

Date: 2009-06-23 03:08 pm (UTC)I don't noticed BB playing anywhere *really*, and I have been in Nagoya at least twice in a week, for all the past month. *just get there yesterday*. I had listened to DBSK nes japanese single a bit... here and there.
But, IT'S TRUE FACT, JE rules the masculine Idol Market here. DBSK now are well respected artists, and their popularity are growing with each new single, but that's another thing to take a note: They have to change a bit their style to fit the Japanese market. The sales of their only-japanese or their korean-japanese singles are different, they usually sells better when it's a japanese single. Their korean style are a bit agressive to the japanese market, I think... *this happens to SS501 too*.
And, about JE, it's a magical thing here. 'Cause you see them growing up, and you fall in love with them, wish them to debut, support them as Juniors. The public grows up with them... and even when they get older, the fans will support *it's pretty common seeing Onesans at the bookstore with the JE Idols magazines*.

what i don't understand is most idols' aversion to the title 'idol'
i mean... even if they have lots of talent and really work on their songs, their first appeal is their fashionable-yadda-yadda image... people still idolize them... they're idols. get over it.
