Quote: You have proven my point. 4Minute released their first Japanese single on May 5. Let me inform you that this single only had one Japanese song on it, which was the most popular of theirs at the time. The rest was in Korean. On May 8, they held a concert and reports say that the tickets were sold out in a short period of time. Do you really consider that a few fans? - That concert depends on their venue. And as far as I know, there are tons of Koreans in Japan. Of course, they know about 4minute. When the ticket was sold out, do you think only the Japanese patronized it? And what I was saying was that, they had a few Japanese fans before they debut there of course after that debut they get to promote themselves and their songs aired on radios and TV shows. Quote: As for Korean artists following Tohoshinki and BoA, there were other Kpop artists in Japan before them. The Korean Girl S.E.S. released 3 albums before Tohoshinki and BoA. Also, there were several kpop artists who debuted in Japan before Tohoshinki. Some of them are: BoA (obviously), Rain, and Se7en. No one is going to Japan because of the success of other artists. So what's your reason now? But who made the biggest record then? Whenever a KPOP artist is asked who their inspiration for trying it in the Japanese Market, they always mention BoA and Tohoshinki. I've set them as my example because they were the top Korean artists who've been successful in Japan until this point. Well, fans are always their second reason for it. Quote: How is that a pathetic marketing strategy? They do it, not only in Korea, but in America and Japan, too. Some artists who do it are: Tohoshinki, Koda Kumi, Ayumi Hamasaki, MEG, BoA, and a LOTmore others. The equivalent of Korea's "Version A, B, and C" is Japan's "CD, CD+DVD, CD+2DVD, and CD+random items". So, you must think it's pathetic that Utada Hikaru does it too, correct? In SME is waay different. They release a Version A, with different cover and pictures, then Version B with another set of different cover and pictures. But the tracks ARE THE SAME. They only differ in the covers and pictures inside it. After that, they will release another single of whatsoever. They do not add remixed version. Does Utada do something as pathetic as that? If they want the fans to have a collectible items, why do they re-release versions with the same tracks but with different pictures, they should've just sell collectible pictures and posters. Because what they're doing is nonsense. |
