They definitely look way more comfortable performing in Japanese now than they did before. Also Dara sounds really good here. The low parts of Go Away still sound like shit because Minzy/CL can't sing that low without autotune though.
they don't sound as strained as usual, but i agree they try too hard to pronounce things/anunciate and you can usually tell they aren't comfortable speaking japanese. i guess i don't get why they don't just do english because that would reach more people (ie. a lot of the world speaks english) and 3/4 are already fluent/comfortable.
japan and korea have too much of a difference in attitude i think towards manners/mannerisms and women...
the whole "fierce idgaf what people say" attitude 2ne1 has is not consistent with japan really and i remember there being some controversy over Hate You cuz it was too impolite or something?
idk, either way it's basically a failure anyone can see that. 2ne1's image would fare better with westerners.
I'm so sad we didn't get the only decent part of IATB:
IT'S 2 IN THE MORNIN' ERRBUDDY'S GETTIN' FREAKY. THIS BEAT'S BUMPIN' LOUD BUT THIS BOY KEEPS TALKIN'. I CAN'T REALLY HEAR'EM BUT I THINK HE'S SAYIN' HE LUVZ ME. PUT A NUMBER ON THIS PAPER BUT I'LL THROW IT LIKE A FRISBEE.
