Boy band U-KISS has been selected as the #1 Hallyu group to watch out for in Japan this year.
Major Japanese portal site ‘Zapallas‘ conducted a survey asking users who they thought would be ’2012′s Greatest Hallyu star in Japan’. U-KISS member Kevin secured the #1 spot under the ‘Hallyu star’ category, while the group as a whole came in at #1 under the ‘group’ category.
100 famous Japanese fortune tellers also took part in the survey, making their decisions based on astrological signs, blood types, as well as 574 other ways to determine fortune for the new year. Taking into consideration that a drama series and a movie is being considered to be made about the boys in both Korea and Japan, the participants felt that U-KISS would be able to further make a name for themselves in Japan.
On top of speaking Korean, the U-KISS members also speak English, Japanese, as well as Chinese, and the boys have made their faces known by speaking English on global programs that aired overseas. This year, the boys are determined to succeed in Japan as well as deliver solid performances in Korea in order to rise to the top.
U-KISS will be traveling back and forth from Korea to Japan and are preparing for their Japanese album scheduled to be released in February, as well as their Japanese Tour that begins in March. Members Dongho and Hoon will have an especially busy year, as they have also been cast in the new drama series ‘Holy Land‘.

But I would approve of this wholeheartedly if it meant him starring in lots of Japanese crossdressing dramas.

Date: 2012-01-20 07:52 pm (UTC)Apart from Light it up it's the best song they have ever done and it deserves mad love.
I hope they slay Japan and show all the other half baked groups promoting how it's done tbh.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-20 08:01 pm (UTC)someone here already said that they sold 27,511 copies in the first week
i think they peaked at #3 (sold 17,207 copies on the first day) on the oricon daily charts after the release and ended up at #7 (iirc) on the weekly charts

Date: 2012-01-20 10:10 pm (UTC)Slay-Kiss won't be the next coming of TVXQ, but they have potential to do good promotions and have stable sales, they are very well capable of getting a devoted big group of people together in Japan. Tick Tack was a good release and it made people out of the fandom more curious about what they'll bring in the future. Is it so hard to acknowledge that they do well...
I for one am proud and I hope they keep it up with the good releases. If Japan loves them I hope they stay in Japan, because Korea doesn't appreciate them enough.

Date: 2012-01-21 02:44 pm (UTC)i think it was a good idea to release neverland, but i agree that they should have released tick tack in korean. maybe as a follow-up song
no subject
Date: 2012-01-22 01:28 am (UTC)I'm just pressed that they prob won't release "Tick Tack" in Korean and promote it there because it's such a solid song and concept and they totally rock it.

Date: 2012-01-21 03:20 pm (UTC)Tbh I think Tic Tack is flawless enough to translate really well into korean and have its flawlessness there as well
