  1. Added some corrections to the lyrics of "I'm Not into You" above.

    There's a video compilation of all of Jiyoung's greeting messages -- the English one is the same as above, and I had linked the Chinese one in the shoutbox a couple of days ago.

     

    In the Korean one, she introduces herself as Jiyoung Kang, noting after about her stage name JY. Also, she mentions to wait for her after mentioning about those in Korea... perhaps she's preparing to actually return there at some point? (If someone who understands Korean can clarify what she means, it'd be nice :'>)

     

    The Japanese portion is more a proper interview -- some of it is reiteration of the English/Korean sections on who she worked with for RADIO and Saigo no Sayonara and the kind of songs they are. She notes that with Saigo no Sayonara being her debut song, she felt nervous and pressured with it being her first time with a ballad, but also felt she did her best with it. On the other hand, she noted RADIO was a song she wanted to try doing upon hearing it, mainly from liking songs that put her in high spirits. She also notes she'd like to try a variety of song genres moving forward, and also wants to put her own thoughts into her songs (she points out "Sayonara Watashi no Shoujo" with this, as she had co-written the lyrics for it).

  2. Up In The Air Lyrics

    I could be the answer to your questions

    Be your light when things aren't shining

    If you let me

    I will hold you down when things get rough

    Yeah I'll be here when you've had enough

    If you let me

    But you're so on-the-fence, second-guessing this

    When you coming down?

    'Cause it's always up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And I keep trying to, trying to pull you down

    But you don't know what you want

    It's up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And no matter how, matter how I want you

    You don't know what you want

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Could be here for you, lovers forever

    Deep inside I know you want this

    But you won't let me

    But you're so on-the-fence, second-guessing this

    When you, when you coming down?

    'Cause it's always up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And I keep trying to, trying to pull you down

    But you don't know what you want

    It's up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And no matter how, matter how I want you

    You don't know what you want

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    But you're so on-the-fence, second-guessing this

    When you coming down?

    'Cause it's always up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And I keep trying to, trying to pull you down

    But you don't know what you want

    It's up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And no matter how, matter how I want you

    You don't know what you want

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    Up in the a-a-a-air

    'Cause it's always up in the air with you

    It's up in the air with you

    And I keep trying to, trying to pull you down

    But you don't know what you want

    Up in the air

    Cr. : Me {pkkamilia1} I guess? I wrote them by ear xD

    Fixed some of it for you, namely the chorus (since she's usually saying "it's up in the air").

    Also lyrics for "I'm Just Not into You", done by ear since there's no actual lyric sheet for it (there's a couple of lines that sound right but look really odd to me, if anyone has better ideas on them editchanged some lines with suggestions from PKKamilia1):

    I'm just not into you

    See you lookin' like you know that you're all that

    Like you're so bad

    Like you're falling, babe

    'Cause you're too blind to see

    That's no good for me

    I see you staring as if you should come over

    But so what?

    I already know you baby

    Who do you think you are?

    Who do you think you are?

    Trying to get my number

    Sweet talking, but it ain't nothing new

    Ain't gonna be me and you

    I know you're liking what you see

    But you don't get no love from me

    Why won't you get a clue?

    I'm just not into you

    And no, I don't know what you heard

    But I'm just not that kind of girl

    I gotta cut you loose

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    Whoa, whoa oh oh...

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    I don't know which planet you came from

    But you're dead wrong

    Tryin' to bank me baby like them other girls

    You've got some nerve

    Yeah, that's some promise on if you can take it

    I'mma say this

    You ain't worth it baby

    Don't you realize that you just ain't my type?

    Trying to get my number

    Sweet talking, but it ain't nothing new

    Ain't gonna be me and you

    I know you're liking what you see

    But you don't get no love from me

    Why won't you get a clue?

    I'm just not into you

    And no, I don't know what you heard

    But I'm just not that kind of girl

    I gotta cut you loose

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    Whoa, whoa oh oh...

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    (Not into you, baby)

    Whoa, whoa oh oh...

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    Why won't you get a clue?

    I'm just not into you

    No, no, I'm just not into you

    What are you trying to do?

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    No, no, I'm just not in...

    I know you're liking what you see

    But you don't get no love from me

    Why won't you get a clue?

    I'm just not into you

    And no, I don't know what you heard

    But I'm just not that kind of girl

    I gotta cut you loose

    'Cause I'm just not into you

    I know you're liking what you see

    But you don't get no love from me

    Why won't you get a clue?

    I'm just not into you

    And no, I don't know what you heard

    But I'm just not that kind of girl

    I gotta cut you loose

    'Cause I'm just not into you

  3. They did promote it though? She had a good amount of radio appearances and fan meetings in stores for it at least, and I recall there being notes of her being on a couple of shows as well (Buzzrhythm being one off the top of my head). For some reason clips of Nicole on Japanese shows tend to not be shared often though, which in turn does make it seem like she's not doing much in terms of promotions -- Something Special had the same issue there.

    The single was released in Japan, so there's no real reason she would go on Korean shows to promote it as it's not a release for there. The same thing will also apply to bliss when it comes out. As PKKamilia1 noted, Nicole has been hosting Beauty Station and was also at Hera Seoul Fashion Week on Wednesday, and will be taking part of more of the events there on Saturday (according to her fancafe).

    Jiyoung finally revealed that JY is her (not that we didn't know already lol). The first image is for Saigo no Sayonara, the second is for RADIO. In her Korean post she notes that RADIO also has an intended release for the US, South Korea and other areas in Asia, but doesn't note a date on it.* She also notes she worked with English producers MNEK for the song. Both the Japanese and Korean posts aside from that note the reveal, her apology for keeping it a secret the whole time, and thanked her fans for their continued support.

    The short version of RADIO's PV will be released at noon JST (so in less than an hour as of this post), as will an alternate short version of Saigo no Sayonara's PV.

    *edit Sony's website notes that RADIO will be released in 47 countries, and will be a 3 song single available through iTunes. The site doesn't make the release date obvious though on whether it is the 16th as well or not. A different site notes that RADIO's release will be on March 17th, but no idea how accurate that is ;-; The description for the song's PV notes the release date is the 16th, so it'll release alongside Saigo no Sayonara.

  5. The booklet is larger than the standard jewel case so it comes separately.

    Someone at CJVE has some sense then. I've had cases of larger booklets in general not being separate and it looks awful.

    Also: the regular edition of bliss has the Japanese version of MAMA as its bonus track. Figured they'd have released that as her debut single honestly (or as one of the tracks on it), but waiting about a year and a half to release it is fine too... ~_~

  6. Hara's official Japanese site opened today.

    Currently there's not a whole lot on it though -- you can sign up for her newsletter (will come from info@koohara.jp), and there is also a note that she will be hosting "The Power of K - Korea TV Fes in Japan" alongside Leeteuk of Super Junior on April 24th. (It's worth pointing out she is noted as "Hara Koo (KARA)" on the listing :P)

    Hopefully this is is a sign of more Hara activities, even if it's just in Japan :>
