There is a big tradition of clever cross-marketing in East Asian pop, and this strategy really fueled the band's career, as it had for so many others; their success in one country fed their success in the other, and every time they went back and forth, they had a readymade stream of hits where all they had to do was re-record the vocals in the other language.
In their first few years they released more singles and full-length albums in Japan than in Korea, though at home they released a slew of mini-albums, a very popular format. Indeed, their eventual fame was greater in Japan, with their biggest success being the album Code Name Blue, which hit number one on the Oricon chart. Thanks to the Internet and the earlys international kitsch interest in K-pop, their fame spread throughout the world, and they played a number of overseas dates, notably at London's O2 in September , a gig attended by more than 4, fans from all over Europe.
In they became the first Korean rock band to undertake a world tour. Sign In. Listen Now Browse Radio Search. Top Songs See All. Essential Albums. First Step Albums See All. Singing along was a bit difficult, since they sang korean versions of all the songs available in Japanese. I was a bit disappointed, because I usually listen to the Japanese versions. Frauke, Wenke and Skirmante were nowhere to be seen either A lot of fans had backed and were staying a bit from the main crowd. Maybe the view is better over there?
Unwilling to leave my place but yet wanting to get a place with better view I moved out from the crowd and went backwards. And indeed it was better. I could see the boys with almost no effort when those annoying fan signs didn't appear.
By the way, in front of me was a really entusiastic fanboy. It was fun too see him. There were other fanboys as well, and males who went with their girlfriends, but he was 'one in a million', so to speak. Or maybe it's because I'm old, too old to be excited in the same way like those girls who screams for the tiniest little thing. I think it might be my personality, since I've always been the quiet, reflecting type of person, rather watching than participating.
However, I think that those screaming, hyperhysterical fangirls might be good for the idols, in a way, because it is them who the idols can have the liveliest interactions with, and I guess it's these crazy screaming girls who will move their hearts and give them courage and at least momentarily support? A concert without entusiastically screaming fans would be weird, so even though they're really annoying for us other fans who have come there to actually listen and enjoy the music I thought they were an important part of the concert.
Or when a fan threw a wristband in Yonghwa's head XD What really annoyed me was those big fanmade signs which were raised up in hope of being seen by the boys. In that way I think people are really selfiish, because when they're seeking attention from their idols they have no thought or care about the fans behind them.
We DON'T want to see the backside of your fanmade sign. I wouldn't do the same annoying thing that irritates me to no end to others. It's an old song from Yonghwa's drama, so I was pleasantly surprised, thrilling actually.
I love this song, but I also didn't want them to sing it, because I knew it marked the end. I was waiting for Mr. KIA and since it's in their new album I was hoping There were a lot of good songs I enjoyed. Our feet hurt. And the legs. And our backs for standing that long. You kind of forget those things when you're all hyped up. I like this street. There are always activities on it, traffic, people, noises - just how it is supposed to be in the city. But the restaurants aren't open early on a Sunday morning, so we had to walk far searching for food.
This building is a landmark in our neighbourhood, but WHAT is it? Some distractions on our way to breakfast: market stalls, like those in Women Street in Hongkong. Of course we had to take a look, Stella and me.
Besides, we weren't that hungry, we just needed to eat. I bought a pretty blue bracelet. I know, I'm a greenie meanie, but this blue one was prettier than the green one, okay? Guess what we found here?
Not Jungshin for sure, he was here the day before Tags: cnblue , concert , food , trip. Post a new comment Error. Their show took place on 22nd at 7 PM local time.
