anyone feeling lonely out here?

disappointed there's no stage performance this week.

since joined karaholic, this week is the loneliest.

now relying on their music to keep me going.

tough but looking forward to some news from the girls.

sick needing a cure.

any updates will be re-living.

wonder what are they doing now. :tongue:

Are you waiting too, while watching the same sky?

Maybe you and I are thinking the same thing.

^nothing about the goodbye stage has been confirmed yet lol. it's just all speculations on our parts. But I really want them to perform Lonely AT LEAST ONCE on music shows!

The girls get to have a bit of rest this week. (: Maybe they'll drop by KH!

^OMG that would be nice, haha.

I read somewhere (I think it was Baidu), that there is a schedule for Kara to comeback near the end of the year? It might just be rumours though, and we know DSP often delays releases... but it's something to look forward to, haha. Probably means that their stay in Japan isn't going to be that long.

to be fair, they should do for each song.

at least once before the goodbye.

how wishful thinking we are. :D

regarding lonely, why no footage on the recording?

actually don't see for the rest as well.

very curious, doesn't dsp film album recording?

or nobody does video tapping during recording in kpop?

don't they recognize these are potentially valuable too?

...

if i remember correctly, 4 songs will be recorded in japanese for the special premium box.

and that include wanna & mister.

my only uncertainty is how will they actually sound like? :)

kamilia in japan must be thrilled for these arrangement. lucky guys.

I hope they could perform some of the other song from Lupin before they leave

Now that they won enough awards, they can totally perform a special stage lol.

I want so bad to hear Tasty Love and Lonely in live on stage just for once !

About their Japan debut, I don't think It will last that long and I'm pretty sure the girls will come back by the end of the year lol.

Mostly around october or november because I don't think DSP plan to miss all festivals, gayo or award ceremonies for KARA

Except if they want to focus on Rainbow activities....but since Rainbow comeback in April and SS501 in May

it won't last enough to stay until the end of the year lol.

i really wish they won't miss the gayo daejun..

or chuseok, or whatever special event..

can u imagine kara miss chuseok sweet girl??or the kara's dorm??lol

@haque..

200% agree...lol..

but maybe if they release it,they will have negative income??lol

after japan debut & not returning soon?

nope, i don't think or believe at all.

plus thought i read somewhere sometime back that they will have another album to work on?

or maybe i misinterpreted again. :P

@haque & curbow

don't need multi-countries special box.

just an universal box in english will do.

i'm sure it'll generate more revenue & in faster rate too.

anyway...

does anybody here have Lupin's fanchants lyric?

im curious about a few things on it :/

@red4summer

just hope so..

and bout the box..lol..

i saw a lot of artist that have japan's special edition, thailand's special edition and so on..

but there are none for my country..lol..

but still..k-pop didn't really booming here..so it's understandable xD

but I wish they have new japanese song though not just translating their old song into japanese language =)

yeah..i like it too..

just like big bang..their japanese song is nice..

kara with japanese song..woot xD

and pls don't be too like WG..

nobody is a good song..

and their english version is nice too..

but still..having the same songs with a LOT of version won't be too nice anymore..xD

you made the point, having too many versions ain't wise.

it loses uniqueness. original is still the best.

it flashes back memories. :)

guess having japanese version is the intention of reaching far into people.

it makes easier introduction to new fans, new land.

hurray!!! KARA fighting!

LUPIN!

According to one source, KARA sold around 22,000 copies of LUPIN in hanteo. Not bad at all! That's really good actually. This is just hanteo, so KARA probably sold around 30k copies. I'm happy haha. KARA averages 25k+ copies since Pretty Girl. Pretty Girl sold a lot. It was 28K when I last saw the count. I saw an updated sales count in KARA-T a few months ago - Rock U, First Blooming sold around 12k+ copies each, Revolution sold 20k+ copies.

KARA is doing good in sales :)

glad to learn lupin has better revolution & pretty girl sales. (more or less official.)

in a wholesome manner, i really realy hope kara can one day surpass the 100k mark.

the girls are definitely not satisfied & resting now but working continuously to acquire higher land.

it's not a dream, but the aim. :)

thanks for sharing, karanice.

@red4summer..

yes..having japanese version of their old songs will be easier to be accepted..

but i really hope,at least they made an original japanese songs and promote it..

it will be much better :wub:

@karanice..

thx a lot for the info..

kara's sales is great..

based on the number of the fanbase,kara really did great i think..

i hope they do surpass the 100k marks ^_^

Well I do hope that someday KARA will reach the 100k mark. But these days, sales are not really that high.

Very few idols reach that mark and it depends on the behavior/aggressiveness of the fan base.

If KAMILIAs would be the aggressive type, KARA can easily hit that mark.

KARA's sales is competitive/comparable to other popular idols' sales except a few like SNSD or popular boy groups like Big Bang, DBSK and Suju...etc., But the rest sells just like KARA or lower. In the KPOP scene right now, KARA's sales is already good. :P

I hope KARA can be successful in Japan too LOL

cause the chances of getting 100k sales is way higher in Japan.

understand & agree japan is an opportunity, but is fiercely competitive.

despite the uncertainty, hope the girls will be well received & to make their musical chart.

think dsp & co should already have a careful measured promotion strategy in the pipeline, besides the special box.

50k should be achievable in japan market alone.

guess the girls should be arriving at thailand any minute now.

past 2 weeks were so bored. missed their lupin stage performance.

but the wait is not long as they will most likely perform it tomorrow. :)

I'm so happy to see Lupin doing so well in sell !

Like everyone, I hope one day they could reach the 100k but for now It's great enought.

And I'm pretty sure with a decent promotion their japanese sells could do well too lol.

Since Pretty Girl and Honey are loved by japanese fans, I think DSP decided to release a japan version for them as a gift.

But I'm sure DSP has already a defined plan for their Japan debut and won't only promote the japanses versions of their old songs.

I always blame DSP for their promotion strategy but I believe they are not that stupid to do so lol.

Its always better to have a new song to attrack new fans and please old fans !
