Re: Why are Japanese teens embracing Kpop?

I'm too late to add anything new to this discussion, but I'll say that AKB48 creeps me out despite many attempts to enjoy them, and Sunny is the best. I'm glad other people round here like her (the cool part of the internet, amirite?), she doesn't seem to be too popular in Korea from what I could te...

Hell no, it was a mercy killing after the way they mistreated them with horrible third-rate songs post-BOUNCEBACK. Now that was a travesty.

They took a huge risk in trying to rearrange that song since it was incredibly good as it was, and boy did it ever disappoint. It sounds awful and honestly these girls can't even sing the song, so what's the deal? I can't wrap my head around this at all. Anyway, Himawari to Hoshikuzu is their only g...

It's nice to be able to see the dance properly, it seems really good. Taeyeon's especially good in this song, and easily pulls it off live as well. Guess she made a full recovery!

WHAT IS REPACKAGE ALBUM? A miserable pile of songs. Yeah I never quite got this either, although to be fair albums in Korea are about the same price as a single in Japan, so paying that kinda money for 2 or 3 songs isn't that crazy to me. Maybe it's a way to crank the total sales figure of the album...
