Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Kpop fans are having fun saying how relevant big bang now that they got no 1 with almost 2 million attendees. They will surely used this as proof how relevant kpop is in japan. *rolleyes* 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Flawless. :D!!! It's honestly so great to see more Arashians on here ^^ Hello XD Well, i am sure they are more. Many kpop fans are formally jpop fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 A lot of them are on LJ and Line and Twitter xD True, they are mostly on twitter, LJ & tumblr too. I dunno abt line since i am not using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 LINE is pretty popular, though not as wide as the other three. Most of the Arashians i chat with are on LINE and LJ xD i probably will end up as silent reader if i join any Line group XD On twitter, i follow many people for infos but only chat with a few since i have my account setting as private as for LJ, not really active. I need to make a new account since i forgot my old login, even the email that i used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) I just read that arama comment and wow.

Apple_Rin 489 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 can i say that i am glad that jpop is they way they are. it is so calm in this thread even though everyone like different singers/artists. i see people disagree on something but at least you guys are still reasonable when arguing. i would be crazy if jpop is equal to kpop state now.

Apple_Rin 489 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I can't really predict how well TWICE will do with their Japanese debut. How are their fans defining success? Selling 100k of the debut album? Getting the #1 spot on the Oricon weekly (though this one they definitely won't get because of Kanjani8)? All I know is that they're releasing only 3 versions of the album, but I don't know if there's going to be more gimmicks attached, like lottery tickets. I think japanese will like the cute choreo. They already hv a bit of exposure in msute. Since they hv japanese members, it would be easier to communicate with japanese fans. Their TT song seems to be doing fine with LINE streaming. I dont know how their fans define success. We'll just hv to wait ne. If they use the lottery method like bts, i wonder if they will get the same range of sales numbers like them. On the Line music chart, the songs there & digital charts vary quite a bit ne. Saw many English song in Line. Is it because of age demographic?

Apple_Rin 489 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 whenever kpop idols sing their song in japanese, it mostly made it sound a lot worst. why oh why~ i thought Signal would be good but nah. same old same old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple_Rin 489 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I am so disappointed in Twice's japanese song. When I watch it, i kept reminding myself that it was in japanese because most of the time i couldn't get what they are trying to say. even the japanese members. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple_Rin 489 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 [Reaction of J-netz in response to whether TWICE is really as popular in Japan: [+1748, -18] They’re just force-feeding. [+756, -20] I’ve never seen or heard of them. [+312, -2] Correction, they’re the most popular group in South Korea but in Japan, only a small portion of K-POP fans, and the media who received advertisement fees are making a big deal out of it. K-POP is popular to a small group of people but the news saying “People all over Japan are…†is false. Don’t misunderstand. [+222, -5] If they were active in South Korea, became popular, their name became well-known, and they gained fans in Japan, I would understand. But they’re not well known and haven’t done sh*t but are “very popular in Japan!†Aren’t they’re being too blatant? [+174, 15] SNSD’s Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun, and although she’s an ex-member, Jessica are good at singing. But TWICE who is supposedly going to “surpass†SNSD is very lacking when it comes to singing. The leader? Is treated like she is the best singer, but she just has volume but isn’t good." LOL BTS&Ikon got dragged into it as well: [+644, -57] I bet they’re gonna use the same gimmicks as BTS to sell (high touch/handshake events) and brag that they won against someone. I feel bad for Kame and Yamapi, I hate BTS, all they do it high touch/handshake events. [+69, -6] Last week they (a program called ZIP) were introducing a K-POP group that I’ve never heard of by saying “They’re a globally popular group that surpasses Justin Bieberâ€. It’s very clearly a lie but they’re force feeding us with it. [+328, -5] We don’t need a popularity that is manufactured like the South Korean group that won the rookie award from Record Taisho (Ikon right?). —->[+62, -2] That was the first and last time I saw them… What was with that, seriously lol. That group couldn’t even be force-fed to us.] ^above is someone post in bashing thread. They really shouldn't media play being so popular in Japan. Maybe original Japanese song is better. But then I kinda like mine kyun by AOA. It wasn't as bad as Twice TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple_Rin 489 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nobody is saying Twice is big in Japan besides KPop fans and the media that wants to make money off of them. i saw the comments in netizen nation, can't help but smh. it's no use telling them, we are all just haters in their eyes. u can't knock sense into those who aren't really listening.

Apple_Rin 489 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 The things they use as "proof" of a certain group being "huge in Japan" are always questionable things. Like "sold out" concerts with many vacant seats and all the mediaplay on tv shows. But the one I thought was the funniest was when fans were freaking out about Twice's ads being everywhere in Shibuya and used it to claim how they're popular. Aren't ads are something their side pays for to have up? Or does it work differently? Doesn't it means that their company is rich enough to plaster them everywhere? It's marketing. Those ads will definitely contribute to their promo. Btw, u hv been a kpop fan before, I believe u know some fans can be super delusional and live in their bubbles.

Apple_Rin 489 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 If I continue to read bashing of kpop or kpop fans or anything like this I will be issuing warnings. Tread lightly I don't know that stating fact & opinion is considered as bashing. My bad. I sure hope all other threads that bash jpop & jpop fans today will get the same warning. I see quite a few in random section. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
