  1. ^ the 6 album thingy shocked me at first but I think this is not gonna be heavily promoted, more like a fan service thing so that J-kamilias who want to buy old albums can buy them more easily now. I won't expect crazy sales for those but I am sure there are those who want to collect the full set of KARA releases without wanting to spend money to ship it themselves.

  2. Hi Everyone,

    Just bought these headphones too. I am not a music producer or anything, just a general end user. I was looking for a pair of good headphones for music and to have some sort of privacy and noise cancellation as i share my room. Hence, I pretty much don't know about headphones, but I will just give my most direct thoughts regarding this.

    I was reading reviews online and it seems equation rp-21 headphones has its own cult following and is pretty much a solid choice for an affordable pair of headphones.

    What to Expect

    Once you start playing music from high quality files, you will start to hear stuff u don't really hear from your usual speakers. All the details and instruments come out and all can be clearly heard. This is probably the strongest point about the headphones. Voice clarity is good, bass and midrange are also good.

    The earphones make you feel you can turn them up real loud without your ears bursting.. I wouldn't recommend that you try though..

    It is quite comfortable even on the 1st day to use, even for someone like me who isn't bestowed with a small head like Hammie.

    It looks big. So if you want to bring it out... get ready for some people to stare..I am keeping mine at home :sweatdrop:

    Driving the headphones. Basically it is pretty easy to drive without amplifier. I plugged into my phone (LG optimus one) and bass was still moderately solid. You can also plug them into the headphone jack on your speakers, but I won't recommended to plug direct to audio out.

    Build quality is Okay. Not luxurious but its decent IMO.

    About live performances - If you have a high quality live performance, prepare to hear things like out of tune & cracking. This headphone's purpose was made so that people can hear any flaws. However, you will also pick up some random fangirl's scream. :thumbup: Note that because of Open mics, there tend to be alot of noise in live performances.

    What Not to Expect

    A great surround sound type headphone (giving a good depth of sound that 2.1 speakers dont do). This is not it. Some earphones can achieve that but not this as this is a tracking headphone meaning people want to hear what has been recorded exactly.

    Any differences in quality if your source quality is not good in the first place.

    Well I ll add more later on after I used it more... Hehe. So far I am extremely happy about the purchase.

  3. This guy is a hardcore fan...! Anyway I think its most important to spend within your means, but some people have more spare cash lying around, its not really that much. After all people spend so much on handbags which I don't understand too :confused1: :confused1:

  4. ^woah .. how did it jumped so much ... lol... Anyway i think KARA has a v strong footing in Japan now... totally looking forward to the next single.. Which I think has potential to do 100K a week too. (of course thats a new record). Especially afeter URAKARA airs..

    Everything is positive for KARA now, I know the trend is gonna continue and more Japanese are going to like them.

    I think the Super Live MuStation did alot to the sales. it was so good.. honestly I was replaying their performance so many times myself... so I reckon it should have a big effect...

    Personally, I think KARA should be quite difficult to overtake even with so many Kpop groups debuting in Japan next year because of their unique style that suits Japanese... I am just totally looking forward to their drama and next single!

    This table is taken from the 2ch forums. I took out SNSD values as I don't want to create trouble for us.. haha

  6. Oo new dedicated thread... Thanks for making it! So far I think the anticipation to URAKARA is pretty good.. I know its not a real drama in that sense but I think many fun moments will come out of this project. If the objective was to make more people like KARA, I think this project is awesome.

  7. Yeah its number 10 today.crazy huh. Top 5? Hmm ... highly possible....

    Haven't post this for long time haha... after first week GT.. however I noticed that the usual 2ch thread about new album is not around anymore!! Anyone knows where it went?

    I predict SOshi will sell 45-50k. Based on Gee sales, they have a higher drop after first day , Gee went from 28k -> 12k ( presumably because they have high orders on internet.)

  8. I just watched last week's episode ( lol delay by one week) ... Nicole is so hardworking and inspirational and so serious in doing things... Although she is young, her work ethics is really something that many people don't have..

    Nicole forever... She is pretty lady but the most beautiful thing about her is her heart! So looking forward to this episode , guess she is doing waitressing in the evening..

  9. ^ thanks pig3head for the deduction! i knew they would be somewhere near the Gold for Mister, its such a Hot song in Japan, everyone knows it but I know the singles sales must definitely be higher and since that's not reflected in physical, must be digital!

    its quite hard to describe how big KARA is but in terms of Japan girl groups, but definitely 3 or 4. I heard people saying that most people in Japan know KARA and the butt dance, so no surprise they are the most parodied Kpop act!

    Yay so Happy!!!!!
