red4summer Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 thanks neris, any special stage with hyori was just awesome because she was so beautiful. (so i wasn't really into their performance. lol.) During Break It Days they focused a lot on vocals. Now a days they focus on concepts more. was it? if so, did it make you wonder that it was that reason that kara4 was unable to make the breakthrough? besides the promotional factor & its intensity, sometimes it's about doing what the majority wants. going against the then trend might be the cause.

I think we can find a balance between what the majority wants and kara to show their talent. I don't think kara4 is really fair to make an example out of since they only lasted less than one year and didn't have a chance to have their breakthrough. And who knows, if you go against a tread then you can start newer/better ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red4summer Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 ^ that's what i mean. it could be a breakthrough but some were citing dsp as the main culprit for trying or being bold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddess.Gyuri Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Mister alone definitely pawned the charts in Japan. Makes me wonder how much are the sales on the single alone They look so monkey-ish here(no offense) and still cute Edited March 28, 2011 by Goddess.Gyuri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksXtryker Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) thanks ☆atl2006☆ for the constant updates woah! 1 million sales?!? another achievement! personally, i didnt expect them to get it so fast . i knew they would get it eventually, but didnt think this quickly. caught me off guard hahah. now this is a reason to celebrate! all we gotta do now is wait until they sell 1 million for a single or album. i'll look forward to that day Edited March 31, 2011 by monkiesxrule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red4summer Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 1 million in sales from a single (or album, dvd etc), it's going to take a lot of new fans to achieve this feat. apart from fans, the choice of song (& choreography) is also very important but it's hard to find one to suit all. so besides the promoting agency, the girls themselves are the most defining factors. they have to be considered as a jpop group inorder to have a permanent effect in japan. they have to work harder which i'm sure they will if they are given the opportunity. believe for some kamilias, this is the reason why they are here.

lordangelic Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 ^yeah...1 million is really a milestone for our girls. I still remember the days when people think KARA will fail miserably in Japan. Thanks to J-kamilia, they have grown tremendously in strength! I have been on youtube and it's really heartening to see SOOOO MANY j-kamilias subbing KARA's videos to introduce them to even a greater audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuda Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 just for a fun fact, for those who didn't know about this yet, that is still remember this show?? so the text on the screen, it seems jing have a nickname for every KARA members, even for herself. and it looks like she used it quite often, since at the least, HamJing used in on their twitter when they tweeted each other. so for those who didn't know about the meaning of the nickname yet (i've asked once on hara's thread but noone know too xD) i've got the meaning now.. ~~~~~~~~~ it says 여뽕 쪼뽕 먹뽕 빼뽕 떡뽕 (yeobbong, jjobbong, meokbbong, bbaebbong, ddokbbong respectively) 뽕(bbong) is the aegyo way to say 봉(bong), remember this comic? jing called kamilia 면봉(myeonbong) aka cotton swab. so apparently, she wants to call KARA as 봉(bong) by her own aegyo way which are 뽕(bbong) too so 여뽕 = 여신 + 뽕 (yeosin + bbong) --> yeosin = goddess = gyul 쪼뽕 = 조금 + 뽕 (jogeum + bbong) --> jogeum means little/small (the little unnie aka hamster aka seungyeon), while 쪼(jjo) is the aegyo way of 조(jo) 먹뽕 = 먹다 + 뽕 (meokda + bbong --> meokda means eat. what the first word that came into ur head if u think about cole? yep, it's eat/food 빼뽕 = 빼빼로 + 뽕 (pepero + bbong) --> remember the snack CF that KARA endorsed last year? did u know the shape of the snack? it's thin and tall, just like hara's figure 떡뽕 = 떡뽁이 + 뽕 (ddeokbboki + bbong) --> u know ddeokbboki / korean rice cake? it's white in color, and KARA members said jing's white skin as white as a ddeokbboki together with 뽕밀리아 (bbongmilia), we are the family of 뽕 (bbong) LOL thank u so much to Yoo for the explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry for myself that I just got to know KARA nowadays.. Is too late? Or is it better late than never? Well, I'll support the girls as they climb the top of the mountain..
