Examples of Kpop idols covering Jpop songs

[GetRapper]

With Produce48 coming soon, we know that the contestants will have missions covering idol songs.  My hope is that with the 48G girls participating, there will be AKB48 or other Jpop  songs covered as well.  The Korean contestants can learn and perform these songs because Kpop idols have been covering Jpop during their concerts in Japan for years.

 

Here are some examples (because I am a Hello! Project fan I knew about these already):

 

Sooyoung, Hyoyeon and Yuri of SNSD covering Aya Matsuura - Yeah! Meccha Holiday

 

 

AOA Black covering AKB48 - Heavy Rotation

 

 

AOA Mina covering Aya Matsuura - Momoiro Kataomoi

 

 

SHINee Key doing dance covers of Morning Musume - LOVE Machine and Renai Revolution 21 plus Perfume - One Room Disco

 

 

With Japanese laws/rules it's hard to get good fancams at concerts, but if someone has any other examples please post!  I would like a general idea of the Produce48 mission possibilities, thanks!

YES!  This is what I'm looking for!  The T-ara vid is cute!

 

I'm a flop, I'm a Kamilia and I forgot about their live covers, I even went to their KARASIA concert in Yokohama and they covered Mika Nakashima among others during their solos.

Daesung’s D’scover and Delight 2 album’s are both J-pop cover albums, with the exception of 2 songs on the Delight 2. Delight 1 also has two J-pop cover songs. All of his stuff is available on Spotify if you’re interested~

Goodbye Days- YUI

 

 

 

(taeyeon's covers are korean versions of YUI's songs)

 

greeeen- kiseki

 

 

yamapi- loveless

 

 

Tbh though I doubt they'd be able to sing jpop songs since there's kind of a ban from Japanese lyrics being broadcasted isnt there?

Wow...before this thread, I only knew about SNSD TTS's "Holler" being a cover of Mizurock's "Hello Me".
