Album [2010.02.17] Korean 3rd Mini Album - Lupin

[red4summer]

isn't there a contract negotiation with a japan production firm for the japan adventure?

wonder how it goes & most importantly with which firm? avex?

personally i think dsp is still bit lagging behind jyp, sm & yg, in terms of promoting & packaging idol groups. no?

sad to say, people in my country only know or hear about wonder girls or snsd.

reality & i'm very reluctant to say, but how long can kara be still around?

every night at bedtime, my wish is for the girls to be well-known everywhere, not later but from the next morning.

so hopefully with this partnership with a large japan agent, the nihon mission can bring instant success.

to me, this is the first time kara is entering this market with full intention of expanding its popularity, & dsp stands to gain too.

let's not just go sell some albums but to achieve something like never been seen before by a non-japanese group.

dsp must dare to dream.

so i'm really expecting something marvelous & magnificence for this advancement.

hope as time goes by, more & exciting details will be revealed.

@lalalalahey

lol, nice write-up you came up. lots of imagination at the end. i like it.

btw, you should send this to someone in dsp, & hope they really understand what are expected from them, what are best for the girls, what kamilia from every corner of the world are praying.

[yuda]

@sunnie..

at last one more people..

came spazz more xD

thx for the cams

awesome storyline..

u got a good imagination..even i can really imagining it..

it will be too awesome if they really do it..

one of my wish for kara is for them to have a Music Drama..and i don't want a cute one..

but sumthing's cool, like lupin concept and more like 2pm's tik tok..

honestly,i'm a little bored with korean's mv that goes the girl got sick (leukimia xD) and then she dead..lol

i prefer sumthing more like 2pm one..haha

@red4summer

if i remember correctly, there are a news about they may have a contract with avex..but i'm not sure..

yup..dsp still lag behind those big 3 in terms of promoting and so on..

they really need learn much i think..

and yeah,WG and SNSD is everywhere..

but i have faith in KARA, they can endure 3 years of struggle and hardship, and i know,if they can be like this, being humble and all,they will get even bigger

i prefer a fame that was need a hardwork than instant fame

bout going to japan..DSP have been doing it with SS501, and from what i knew, SS501 quite big there..

even some says ss501 is way bigger than DBSK and Big Bang in japan..

i don't how true is that..but 1 thing for sure, they quite succeed there..

so just hope for the best..

japan will have a lot of k-pop storming in..

kara,beast,4minute..

i love all of them, but still hope the best for KARA

at last i got it..

i love ham,cole,hara's expression..

[firewater07]

This thread is really discussing things haha been going here everyday to read posts lol

About their Japan promotions, I hope they get handled by a big company who knows how to package them well and while they have been improving with each performance, I think each member has potential to be even better so I'm really hoping when they go to Japan, the company that will handle them will focus on that. Kara's talented and they have a lot more to offer but currently with DSP it's not being fully explored and while DSP had improved in my opinion they could still do so much in terms of promoting the girls and I'm hoping they take more risks.

@lalalalahey I love the storyline haha I hope they have CF like that. While I know it's not that important to have a cellphone CF, I really want them to have one and big budget too lol

[red4summer]

@curbow

ss501 as success as dbsk & bigband? i doubt so.

or at least, i genuinely hope it's not a one-time affair.

hahahh, the japanese still ain't aware of what is going to hit them.

@firewater07

overall yeah let's hope this big agency is able to bring out the best out from the girls,

but kind of quiet about this trip across the sea of japan.

isn't it? probably it's still early days.

or is it the calm in disguise before the actual storm?

also not sure how's their recording for the japanese premium box.

believe should have completed by now.

only 3+ weeks to its official launching & the fanmeet.

ok now back to lupin, so it's confirmed this week will be the goodbye stage.

but not sure if there's any special arrangment?

originally wish them to perform more than just lupin, but now with sy injured, i think it's best for them to have it easy.

ah mubank cancelled, no more live telecast lupin performance for me.

anyway hope mucore & inki can go as planned, so that today mcountdown is not the first & last of lupin promotion.

finally, will we see 14000th member before lupin promotion ends?

high probability. kh jjang.

aww ..i'm really sad..

alright..i know maybe i'm asking too much..

and i know lupin will soon end the promotion, but this week??

without any prior notice??arghh...

and ham is injured..

*sigh*..

i just hope for a special stage or remix..or an awesome outfit..or maybe the MV outfit..

and IF they don't perf comeback on mubank,it will be very bad too >.<

i know it's only mini album,but they didn't promote it for even 2 months!!!!

it's only 5-6 weeks...

but alright..the good thing is, they already got 6 awards for it..awesome..

and they gonna prepare for japan debut, HB, and dream concert..

still hope for the best for them

but i;m still wishing for special goodbye stage,whatever it is xD

@firewater

yep i'm agree with u..

dsp have been improving,,but still have a lot of things to be improved too..haha

KARA have big potential to be big in japan..

and hope they handled by a good company there..

although maybe they won't be too long there..but i'm sure with lupin they can achieve a lot..

@red4summer

haha bout the ss501..i'm not quite sure..

but at least that is what i heard

i'm sure bout the japanese album,they already finished it..

but maybe they still want to focused to korean market 1st..don't know..

but i'm anticipating it..

hope it won't be too expensive..so i can buy it..haha

not like sweet muse >.<

yeah..no mubank..i can't watch it live then..

and i do really hope ham can recover fast..

too bad,why she need to keep on injured..hammiee...

and IF no mucore and inki again this week,it will be very bad..

i really want to see 4 goodbye stage...

and yeah..most likely,KH will got 14k members by then..

EDIT:

alright..now i'm really sad...

no inki too??

and stil lno news from mucore..

wow...you all making an essay here...lol...

yeah...its sad that Lupin promotion going to end this week...

and the more sad is no Music Bank..!!!

I think probably we can watch 1 show...mucore....

and pity ham....she really2 excited to make a goodbye stage...

but unfortunately no Music bank....KBS..!!!!

after HB they gonna debut at Japan...then dream concert..then new album...

woo~ Kara getting lot of work...hope they do well at Japan...Lupin jjang..!!!!

[BabyJ]

lupin says goodbye, and i am very sad=(

happy in some ways that kara is getting some overseas exposure

and since kara says goodbye this week,

this week the music shows gonna be cancelled

so does that mean that kara only have one goodbye stage?+(

[☁ haQue ☁]

sighhh THERE ISNT LONELY PERF IN THE END

congrats anw for them

[lalalalahey]

i saw on allkp that mcountdown will be their only goodbye stage this week, so maybe they are holding off the other goodbye stages to next week and moving other stuff they have to do to this week? i dunno, we still can hope that they will hv more goodbye stages. i'm excited about their new album since the Japan album is done. I think DSP does want them back mid to late summer for all the Gayos and Chuseok and Special Stages that ppl get really excited about since the late summer songs are the one that will be carried to the end of the year. and with the many comebacks, unless they reveal a new song, lupin won't have as much attention, so might as well take a rest and have ppl miss it and love it every time they perform it live (like dream concert, HB).

i'm still hoping we'll get more a show for KARA!!!!!!

[red4summer]

first time watching the goodbye stage, i was sad & speechless.

then slowly i turned kind of puzzled & angry.

why their manager or whoever take care of their backstage let sy went in with white cast?

was it so difficult to find something at least in bare minimum apply similar color logic to the outfits?

having trouble finding dark colored? even with 2 days duration?

ok most probably they did try really hard, but it's hurt to see sy in that state.

feel sorry to hammie & rest.

believe the goodbye stage was not meant to be like that in the first place but unfortunate event does happen.

they must be disappointed too, especially sy.

come to think of it, maybe it's better this way that today is their last.

because probably this is the only way to prevent sy from exaggerating her injury further.

hope a speedy recovery for hammie. the road ahead is still long.

2 weeks away from hollywood bowl, the girls will be back.

though now lupin promotion is over, hope this thread is not done yet.

lupin daebak.

[Juraquil Mihawk]

that is the new concept of their new album...so unique and i hope this song can increase their popularity....

so very different with the older concept....Hara looks so cute....

[yuda]

@joey and sunnie

i think it's still unclear whether they only have one goodbye stage or it;s postponed to next week..

we still need to wait for news about it i think,,

oh yeah..hope they will have a songs that will be greater for all the special events..

and hope when they already finish the promotion and then they perform it again later..

the people watch it will more hyped up

@red4summer

what u said about ham's cast is true..but i never noticed until u mention it..haha

they should have make it better??or they want it to be clearly seen??

ham must be very disappointed to be injured on their only last goodbye stage..

but i wish with it she can rest and recover soon..

if she need to perf 4 days like that,i'm sure it will be bad for her arm..

and what u said about this thread,hope it's not gonna be over..

--------------------------

alright..

i've been waiting fot the hd to be uploaded..but i can't wait too much longer..

so i've decided to download the 480p one and make gifs from it..

i know the result wasn't the best,some of it even ended too fast *sigh*

sorry if it was too much >.<

but i'm doing it 1 or 2 hours after the perf ended..and i'm not having much time today..

i'm still in a middle of exam right now..

but i want make sumthing for KARA

this gifs is for our girls

lupin daebak!!

cole is pretty there..and JiRa moment..but no ham >.<

individual:

AWWW!!!!!

[Solin]

I'm very sad Lupin promotion is ending

But the why do they have to cancell all the shows again ?

Hope they will have their goodbye stages next week at least

And I also hope to hear a little of Lonely or Tasty Love

The fans on MCountdown today make me smile

[lalalalahey]

ahh don't be upset about the cast...i know we want it to look amazing and complete, but it's a medical issue and i have never ever seen a black cast. i don't think they produce it. plus they prob weren't thinking of the color of ham's stage clothes when they took her to the hospital and the doc said she needed the cast. and once they got it on, it's not like they can take it off. yes, they can color it, but she does wear other clothes other than the black ones, so it might not match if she has another stage or appearance, right? as long as she gets better, it's no biggie >< plus, the white made it stood out, although i was nervous the whole time thinking, omg i hope she doesn't forget and tries to stretch with that hand or pop it during the halla halla dance part or the gun part....

[firewater07]

I'm sad that it's their last performance of Lupin in Music shows, since I enjoyed watching their performances, I'm still hoping that the goodbye stages in other music shows are just postponed and that they will still perform next week. The promotion is really short which in a way is a good thing cos it leaves you wantilng more lol

[red4summer]

@curbow

me too was waiting to upgrade to hd from yt, but it's now giving everyone problem with its adobe uprgade.

gave up & took the much huger download from kh instead.

woah, that's alot of gifs you have made, and fast too.

and you almost got all the signature dance moves.

i particular like the hallo dance, the timing was perfect. seems like they are going forward.

don't laugh but really want to ask, what does the sign in the 2nd gif mean?

@lalalalahey

yeah i understand & agree with you, but like some black cloth to wrap over it?

i admire her courage, praise for her delication, and love her even more for the decision not to disappoint the group & fans.

she's always the lovely hammie, even in a cast ,of whatever colour.

hence not so much about her image with cast, but more on things could have planned better for her.

i mean she's already hurt both physically and mentally, so i just wish staffs around her can do something for her.

and with her decision to go ahead with the performance, she'll bound to face with comments from netizens or non-fans.

my first thought is to prevent or minimize those unwanted "noise".

i'm more of worried for sy for getting "hurt" again.

due to unfortunate mishap in the naval ship tragedy, lupin music station performance were cut down by 2-3weeks.

and with delay in the salvage operation, next week broadcasts are also in question too.

like most artists, planned schedules are thrown into disarray.

hence expecting for another goodbye stage maybe diffcult now.

feeling better today after watching the goodbye performance again.

still remember the excitement surrounding after its mv teaser release, but now it's goodbye time.

but overall i think it's better for them to wrap & move forward with another new album.

lupin daebak.

[azumarill]

aww man it's the goodbye stage already?! poor seungyeon had to perform in a cast, but the performance still ROCKED!

[xichigo]

^I'd rather not have any goodbye stages if SY can rest up properly. So.. I regard it as a blessing in disguise since all the music shows are cancelled this week. xD

Just saw this on akp --> http://www.allkpop.com/2010/04/kara-to-ret...-world-cup-song

Not immediately relevant to Lupin but DANG I AM SO EXCITED! 8D

[red4summer]

^

i was going to post, and you are ahead of me.

yeah, it's confirmed.

kara is preparing a world cup song, we

[the93rd]

So they're not going to promote any other song on the album? :/// DSP has a bad habit of only letting the artists promote one song on an album. Rarely do they ever get to promote a follow up track after they end the promotions for their title song.

And since they're going to Japan next, I'm hoping for an extra spectacular good bye!

@in-in

ahh yeah..it's rather good that ham only have to perf once..

i want more goodbye stage..but of course, not with ham like that..

watch her perf like that once enough to breaking my heart..

i don't need more..haha

@red4summer

haha i don't really know about it anyway..

we should ask sum1 else then..

want so share some caps from the goodbye stage

i won't spazz much today..not having much time..

but still anticipating for their next song then

here,some teaser..haha..

the song itselfs sounds nice

sorry if it is too much >.<

[Coke]

HSY looks like one of those gutsy delinquents you see in anime and dramas. lol

[kara4life]

Can't believe they already had Good Bye stage, it felt just like yesterday i got excited by the Lupin teaser and wondering who's who in teaser coz of their makeover (;

But they ended it great, even with Ham wounded in action T_T, overall its been an exciting two months watched all their perfomances, and had a blast discussed it here with fellow Kamilia....

To think they had comeback stage on Mcountdown and ended in Mcountdown too is just like full circle, if the Mayan believe 2012 is the end of the world then i believe that is a good sign for their future LOL. So excited for their upcoming World Cup song..

Btw, thnx for the gifs there curbow, it goes straight to my collection XD

[sarangseungyeon]

their lupin mv brought my attention to them and made me a kamillia..

before this, their songs were great and eveerything but it lacked the lupin power.

now, i'm looking forward to the world cup mv of theirs

[red4summer]

@kara4life

agree, was some time ago still guessing who's who, wig or real.

hahahh, now is so much clearer watching again. silly me.

and the start & end at mcountdown, full circle. yeah, lol.

@curbow

you "halted" my machine, again.

but srsly thanks!

so anyone here know what is the hand sign at the end of the goodbye backstage interview?

specific to kara group? or simply a local gesture?

actually just want to know anything related to kara. non-kara can wait/skip.
