key1 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I really don't think they will get big in the US without knowing singing their songs in English. But Yelle, a french artist, has toured in the States and she sings in French so i would love for Kara to prove me wrong. I think its because Japan represents the most US-like nation in the East. Theres also some heated history between Korea and Japan if you look into historical issues that the Japanese government were trying to cover up such as Korean "comfort women". Haha this is becoming more of a history lesson but well its actually pretty fun trying to learn the dynamics between the Asian countries and the US. Takes alot of reading though -______- It seems there is already a growing fan base there without actually being there which is amazing. I don't know about branching out but definitely a tour.

smilez Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 yea..I think they should focus on Korea 1st.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleBaby Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I think Kara can succeed in overseas. They got talent & looks! Kara FIGHTING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuba Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I think the record companies are taking advantage of the fact that Japan has no viable choices in the area of teen idols right now. There was a time back when solo performers such as Otsuka Ai, Koda Kumi, and Yui were popular, and then before that Morning Musume, but as of late there really is nothing going on in J-Pop. Arashi is still hanging on against their new rivals, which just so happen to come from Korea. Japan is just putting our rubbish right now. Still though, with no Japanese songs it's going to be hard to attract fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayshun Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Japan yes, I am not sure about the USA, the industries and styles are completely different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kara4life Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm very optimistic about Japan, while for US is kinda hard because idk..its hard there and i'm not sure if DSP have the capabilities to do it. They even had difficulties to promote Kara in Korea when Kara first debuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiranojun Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I always kept my hopes up they'll be debuting in Japan anytime soon. I mean who would ignore their cuteness? Japan loves kawaii! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbunny Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I would really not be surprised if they debut in Japan. They seem to already have some success there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoteh Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 i think they can make it in japan.. usa... i dun think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solin Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I agree ! I think KARA could make it in Japan and It seems they already have a pretty good fanbase. Howerver, they also need to sing in Japanese if they want to attrack new fans. But in The US, I don't think so because their music style isn't really what american people usually listen to. And even if KARA popularity has risen a lot, I don't think they have enough oversea american fans to debut yet. DSP is smart to focus on the Japanese martket at first and even more to not rush it but to introduce the girls slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboii Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 My opinion is that they shld just remain in korea 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell104 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 ya i agree they should stay in korea a little longer before trying out japan and usa though i did hear next year they are debuting in japan?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinJung Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 haha yeah.. they should BOOM korea first before thinking of debutting elsewhere and no.. i dont want them to debut elsewhere..im so sick of my fave artiste debutting in japan n going back n forth from korea to japan even tho i know this wil do good to their career the furthest will be Japan but we dont see SNSD or WG doing that yet.. altho WG has expanded to China so kara should stay with the korean kamilians longer <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilubladybird Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Japan and China yes. But I can't see Kara venturing into USA. Even SNSD will find it hard going into USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetTune Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 ONLY if they can intensely brush up on their English. No one wants Engrish overseas o_O Surprised Nicole even allowed them to have such English in their lyrics sometimes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ha Ra Fan Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I seriously love them but Kara most (MOST) likely won't get accepted here in the US. Over in Japan they have tons of fans cause they have that cute image. In the Japanese market most people make it because they either have talent or looks.

Haydenstar Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 id prefer them to stay in korea for now! so that they can concentrate and come up with better songs!^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac2492 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Not sure about other countries, but I agree that Kara probably can't break into the American market right. Songs like Rock U and Honey wouldn't do very well, since the "cute" image isn't very big in American pop. Songs like Mister and Wanna might stand a chance, though.

kommcha Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 they should promote more in korea before thinking of going anywhere they just got a break through with mister and if they leave now, people wouldn't really remember them anymore but seeing that they are aiming for the japanese market, i think they'll do alright since their honey style fits right in with jpop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrainwreck Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I think they can make it into Japan, I mean, theyre having a fanmeeting in Tokyo right? & maybe USA, because they have Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1884 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 I really don't think they should go outside of Asia. They can certainly make their niche in the Asian market, however, personally speaking, don't think they can break it here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
