Queens of remakes

Dear Eunjung,

Please proceed to abandon this sinking ship and focus on acting.

Love,
YOUR PANU

[encyclopedicace.livejournal.com]

WOW That is one of the saddest looking covers ever...
And Jiyeon's bitchface certainly isn't helping.

[seines.livejournal.com]

lol mte...

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

lmfao @ her face.

It's like she's made she's alive or something.

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

/)-_-

Now, I'm hoping f(x) won't just release Japanese versions of their songs but granting that they are under SM.... /wrist

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

:(

I hope they have an original song too

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

They will, if they have a good reception in Japan. But of course they will. HOHOHO /lol optimistic me is optimistic

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

I'm really kind of optimistic that the Japanese will /love/ Chu. (I'm biased about this tho lol) Knowing that a lot of them likes cutesy sounding songs, success is really feasible if they promote the song.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Are they even debuting in Japan? SM doesn't seem bothered.

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

They were supposed to back in January. I'm glad they didn't though, as a group I find them to be more fitting for China than Japan.

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

Well, it was supposed to be on January but the members are shooting their dramas/sitcoms. Vic is not yet done with her Chinese drama so the fans are expecting it to be on June or July. BUT, some people are saying that they will have a Korean comeback first before the Japan debut... This will become an essay if I continue lol

[sweetdary.livejournal.com]

i think that japanese waiting for them, i dont know, but i think that they will be great in japan, japanese girls love amber and sulli, and more that is a group with members very differents than others, and if they find fans that love YURI (japanese mangas) fx could have many jfans. i think they will they only girls group from avex that could make it in japan. oh well we just have to wait, and i hope Chu as their japanese remake, but i think that maybe we will see Danger, hot summer and Chu. Maybe i dont know Nu Abo.

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

Actually there was this ranking going around saying that f(x) is the most liked girl group in Japan. I don't know if that is legit or not but at least it's something positive about f(x). And now I think f(x) members are really loved individually in Japan; they have different charms and Vic's popularity really grew since WGM.

We will see all promoted songs with their Japanese versions, it's inevitable. lol

[zeldas.livejournal.com]

is that a brush script font? /screams

[ddeadmeat.livejournal.com]

good lord now that you mention it Dx

[siha.livejournal.com]

jiyeon does not look very pleased in either of the those two covers lol

[cettefemme90.livejournal.com]

BUT WERE THEY ABLE TO RECOVER THE '30,000 EUROS' FROM THEIR AMAZING, STELLAR, SUPERB INSURANCE COMPANY?

I'm still convinced that was made-up or at least set-up.

As for this...T-ara news just makes me sad now that I know what a slavedriver their boss is. Let them have a few days or weeks off first :(

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

thanking my lucky stars I don't stan t-ara, I bet those trading card sets are different and you would have to buy so many fucking CDs to get all of them ;~;

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

o lord so cheap this almost puts their cat album cover to shame

[laeryn.livejournal.com]

Those covers are hideous ò.ó

[static-fixation.livejournal.com]

oh dear God, the album covers. i think my granny made this using Paint in 5 minutes.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Your gran has better computer skillz than mine tbh

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

They need to stop doing Japanese Tours and make their comeback already.

[fancifury.livejournal.com]

qri looks qt *_*

saving up all my coins 4 diamond & sapphire

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

ME TOO!

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Jiyeon's bitchface is pretty epic, but (and this is 1) a pretty big but and 2) you will probably never hear me say this ever again) Soyeon looks GORGEOUS on these front covers.

Also, I'm sorry, but £53 for an album entirely of remakes (and then postage on top)? Who do you think we are?

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

What I expected, one original song, what a joke. And those covers, good god fans could do a million times better job than that within a minute, wtf. T-ara could have been as big as Kara or SNSD, but I doubt it anymore.

[madelyn93.livejournal.com]

lol omg did they hire me to design this cover

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

lmao omg Jiyeon is not even trying anymore.

[marsheumallow.livejournal.com]

such sad covers :/

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

they don't even look happy. =\

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

only 2 new songs? wtf

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

Oh theyre going to have a japanese TTL? If this is without supernova I demand a korean version without supernova. I loved boram's rap in the live version.

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

what is wrong with jiyeon? everyone else looks happy

[forevrseptember.livejournal.com]

OTL

CCM there's this thing called investing money in something to get more money out of it

[michiyo-mori.livejournal.com]

I love these girls but...it's not hard to tell they've been miserable the last while and will continue to be. So sad. :( I wish they'd had a better label, then maybe they could have flourished more than this and actually been enjoying their careers as entertainers. At the very least another label would have allowed them more than 5 songs in various remixes and languages...

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

Jiyeon is either overly fierce or she's not here for any of this shit anymore.

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

the first one

[falling-empress.livejournal.com]

can their company not write them any other songs or are they just afraid that learning another dance will finish them off once and for all?

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

lmao

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

this is sooo cute! it takes me back to my childhood! BTW it would be a bad idea to make new songs rn cuz of the 2 new members in june they'd have to rerecord it and change the formations and do it all over again to make room for the new members when they perform anything after june [theyll already have to do it for all teir past songs and itll be even more WORK for them] and then the 2 diff versions (7 vs 9) would get compared and everyone would BASH the new girls even more and scar them for LIFE so the remakes are necessary rn

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

lol jiyeons bitch face

[pladpuss.livejournal.com]

wow those look like my photoshop edits circa 2004 when I first got into lol (in other words cheeeap and amateurish)

[pladpuss.livejournal.com]

i'm talking about the covers btw
