    yeah i get you don't worry..some ppl are really oversensitive about this and can get a bit rude if they don't agree.no need to apologize.i guess i need to get used to keeping my opinions to myself

     

     

     

    I don't think you need to keep your opinions to yourself; if that's what you got from me then that's certainly not my intentions. I'm just confused and a little miffed because I see people calling Luhan a weak vocalist, you know what I mean?

    there's no rules about main threads -maybe there are but its my fault for not paying attention- so i thought it would be ok as long we are talking about luhan since i have seen ppl do it in the first pages of the thread.but ok i'll stop since it seems like ppl here want check updates nowadays rather than share opinions sighs

     

     

     

    The biggest thing that concerns me is that it's a lot of back and forth and I feel like it will very quickly get vicious. I'm not saying people can't share opinions, but I know I came in here looking for updates and fun discussions and I saw talk about Luhan being a weak vocalist and that always makes me upset because that's absolutely not true. it's not my jurisdiction to say anything so I apologize

  3. This is going to sound weird, but idk if we should really have these discussions in his main thread? It feels like we're going off-task and we can all agree that he's a good singer. don't you think we're proving those people right by coming into his own thread and arguing and saying these things?

     

    Let's all just focus on positive things like his upcoming episode of Real Heroes on the 2nd!!

  4. I agree. Sometimes it makes me wonder if people said the same thing (about l*y being better) when Luhan was still in the group or they started stating such stuffs after he left the group  :unsure:

     

     

    I definitely think most of those comments have come up after he left the group. Otherwise, we wouldn't be seeing them so much.

     

    idk how much to add to this conversation about Luhan's singing voice - especially since most people get their information from that vocal thread and I've heard it's a shitstorm. I've been vocally trained for 8 years and while yes, Luhan's voice isn't the powerhouse vocalist, objectively he is good. He's always had good stamina to me and has been able to hit notes very well - there's even a compilation of luhan's lines in wolf and every single time he hits the same note clearly. During his showcase too, he did extremely well and his voice was extremely stable. I do not understand any of these comparisons to l*y or s*ho or x*umin bc in my opinion, luhan is better trained and has a better vocal quality than them.

     

    I'm with lolylen because I get super defensive over this because I know he can definitely sing, based on my own training.

     

     

    let's all focus on some happy stuff!! I hope Luhan is well-rested~!! I wonder what kind of games there will be in this ep and who the guests will be!

  5. LOL I guess this would be a group order of some sort, eh?

     

    If no one else is doing one, I don't mind setting it up so that we can contribute to the Sep 14th release. However, I would also like to see if further information is given out about an international release so that we can contribute to that instead (if it does happen).

     

    Of course, we could always still do the group order anyway in case anyone want to support both the international release AND help raise the digital purchase numbers in China.

     

    Let me know, guys.

     

    I think I'm definitely interested in a group order should it happen! I'm also curious to know what the international platform is for purchasing it!!

     

    How much did Luhan's album cost on QQ? A friend of mine wanted to buy it but they want to know how much it is.

     

    Thanks in advanced :)

     

    it's 5 yuan~!!! that's about 78 cents in usd!

    I'm sorry to hear that you guys had issues trying to partake in the presale period. I totally agree that there were a lot of steps involved in trying to make purchases as an i fan (as far as I saw too, lots of people had issues even trying to sign up a QQ account). I just hope this doesn't deter you guys too much in the future to partake in support. I'm sure that both c and i fans will continue to try finding easier ways for everyone to participate.
     
    Luhan's team is aware of Luhan's international fan base, so I don't doubt that there will be some sort of effort for us international fans to get involved with this new album (as crunchi27 already stated, Luking hinted at an international release, so perhaps they're just getting things ready for that). We just might not be first priority seeing as there is probably red tape to get around (dealing with distributors, copyright, SM issues, setting up the infrastructure through the great firewall of China, etc). Please don't lose hope guys! 

     

     

    Thanks for posting this alternative tutorial. I hope it helped others :)

     

     

    Edit: Erm... okay, I guess just as an inquiry to you guys who weren't able to support but wanted to... but in case something like this happens again in the future, how many people would be interested in doing something like a "group bulk buy" where we send $ to one person to buy on behalf of everyone?

     

     

    I noticed that about luking too, so I'm hoping this means we'll get an announcement for easier access to supporting Luhan's album. I was one of the many other ifans who struggled to purchase - I could never get my qq account made and it ended in lots of tears, though I haven't given up!!

     

    The group bulk buy idea sounds great to me! I was surprised I couldn't find any when I was desperately looking last night lol!

  7. Well, it's Good News/Bad News.

     

    Good News: Ria announced that they are working on a "mini-album" at one of their recent performances.  I think it was this performance below...

     

     

     

     

     

    ... but I can't find the part at the end where they talk to the audience, which is when Ria said it.  Other evidence that things are about to heat up soon:  Yumi has posted some photos of herself at the recording studio, and Hijon said she is looking for an apartment in Taipei, presumably because she expects the group to be too busy for her to commute from home in southern Taiwan anymore.  So lots of positive signs.  I would expect the new release to be targeted at the Taiwanese market, but I suppose it's not impossible for them to record a Japanese song.

     

    Bad News: I'm pretty certain that Mini will not be on the album.  All current indications are that she's staying with family in Tainan and isn't coming up to Taipei to record her voice or do any other activities.  The official explanation is still that she's on medical leave, with what Mini has described as lower back problems.  I personally don't believe that explanation anymore.  It's been 4 months since her last public appearance with the group, and it's not just dancing performances she's missing, she hasn't shown up for audio recordings, TV appearances, acting classes, interviews or photograph sessions either.  My personal opinion is that there must be a contractual or personal dispute between Mini and the group's management company.  I started to write a long post explaining why I think this, but I was falling into my old habits of writing a lot of iffy speculation, so all I'll point out is that Mini's last appearance with the WGs was shortly before they lost their rooms at the company's mansion, and she hasn't been seen in Taipei since except for Mia's birthday party and a couple TV appearances that were recorded before the eviction.  Given that Mini's home is by far the furthest from Taipei, losing the rooms in the mansion would have created a bigger problem for her than the other girls, and if she was promised that apartment in her contract then she'd have every right not to perform under the contract.  But again, that's just my personal theory on one possible explanation for why she stopped showing up.  I just don't think 4 straight months of crippling back pain is believable, especially since she traveled to Japan to visit Esse during that period.  There has to be something else going on.

     

    My guess is we may be about a month away from getting a resolution on Mini's status.  The group's debut album was released in October 2012, and Dara and Esse left the group in October 2013 and '14 respectively, so there's a chance that the girls have 1 year contracts that renew or terminate every October.  On the positive side, the fact that Mini continues to say it's medical leave, even if that's just a cover story, at least suggests that she doesn't actually want to leave the group.

     

    On a separate note, the only Weather Girls troll in the world has resumed lurking around the various WG fan groups, so be suspicious of any strange posts that don't sound right.  He's probably the person who left negative reputation for every post on the previous page of the thread.  I balanced out the ones I could with positive rep, but I can't upvote my own posts.

     

    It's good to hear they're going to be making a comeback soon!! I'm very excited to hear some new music for them, especially since it's been about a year.

     

    that would make sense about mini though ;;;; if the commute is too far and something in her contract wasn't kept up on the company's side, she has every reason not to continue her contract. and with her lower back pain, too, I can only imagine what it would be like to keep dancing and singing.

     

    thanks for upvoting them back! I've asked the mods about it and we'll see what will happen and I'll give you positive rep for the posts they downvoted!
