Debut album is pretty solid. MAMA (although I didn't like it at first), History, Two Moons and MACHINE are all great. For all the hype and bloody trailers they certainly have delivered

Now I need a new Av. Who wants to make me a KJK, Taeyeon or Sica Av :D

Site is getting hammered. I got it to load but don't have a Request Ticket button.

If you live in NorCali you can try the walk in on the 16th, but tickets will probably be gone:

Haha how did you know the Soshi section? Yeah SMTown fanclub had the entire top balcony facing the stage which was pretty cool. Half was pink (Soshi) and the other half was red/green (TVXQ).

It's interesting how the fanclubs coordinate sections, it's like little gang territories and you tell by color of the balloons:

Pink = Soshi
Red/Green = TVXQ
Grey = 2PM
Black = MBlaque
White = B2st or EXO-K
Yellow = Infinite

My seats were ass and I was right in the middle of the B2st section so there were screaming fangirls at any boy band. I was sitting with middle school fanboys that only cared about the girl groups so I didn't feel too out of place but I had 2 screaming fangirls behind me and a 12 year old B2st fangirl right in front of me in the way of the stage. I wanted to pop the girl's B2st balloon, thankfully she left soon after B2st performed. I would have kicked her in the back of the forehead if she waving that shit during TTS lol

Act 1:
Wonder Girls and SUJU were pretty forgettable, think they sang one song each (So Hot, SorrySorry) and left. Most groups sang 2-3 and did a intro, WG and SUJU dialed their shit in and exited.

Since I was in the B2st section I guess they did pretty good but I couldn't hear shit with all the fangirls screaming, Fiction with the penguin dance was nice to see live.

Kara and 4Minute killed it to end Act 1. Kara did Jumping and Lupin. 4Minute did Volume Up and Change which was hype.

Act 2:
Some boy bands opened up, think it was B14A and ZEA. Meh for me but the fangirls were loving it.

T-ara came on and was hype as fuck, they did Lovey Dovey and Roly Poly and the entire stadium was erupting. I think Sistar was next and was decent.

It felt the whole stadium was waiting for Soshi with Sonyu Shidae chants after every performance finished. It's awesome hearing the whole stadium fanchant to Twinkle and Baby Steps. The B2st fangirls behind me were saying how pretty TTS were, they didn't really care about the other girl groups, but loved Soshi.

Infinite came out to a huge pop after, didn't know they were so popular. 2PM and TVXQ closed out the show. I was disappointed that the whole Soshi group didn't come out, hopefully they don't dial in their performance at SMTown LA and are excited playing as a whole group again.

What I was impressed with actually was the quality of the Mandarin side. The songs were translated fluidly into Chinese without any awkward tones in wrong places - I actually prefer the mandarin versions to the korean versions. SM is seriously investing a lot into the Chinese market with Exo.

Honestly it felt like a tv music show in a stadium to appease fangirls. The Google concert looks like a all-star DC lineup without the boy band filler. It's too bad T-ara won't be there, after seeing them in DC I really want to go to a T-ara solo concert.

Dream concert this year appeared to be somehow un-hyped compared with previous editions. Back then this was THE concert to go.

Not mentioned in here:

Quote:
The Wonder Girls will be entering the Japanese music market this July with their hit song “Nobody.”

Oricon News reported on May 10, “The Wonder Girls will be releasing album ‘Nobody for Everybody,’ which contains the song ‘Nobody ‘in it, on July 25 and making their official Japanese debut.”

After their hit debut with “Tell Me” in 2007, the Wonder Girls had a streak of hit songs afterwards with “So Hot” and “Nobody” and rose to the top tier in K-Pop girl groups. The group also set a record and reached number 76 on the “Billboard Hot 100” chart.

J.Y. Park said during his interview with Oricon, “[The girls] are at a point in Korea where they can’t go any higher. We wanted to challenge something greater.” Member Sohee expressed her feelings and said, “My heart is pounding. I want to meet our Japanese fans as soon as possible,” and expressed her anticipation.

Oricon also expressed its anticipation for the girls and described them as “the last great figure of K-Pop.”
Edit: but also this:

Quote:
Next, we would also like to address the domestic (Korea) schedule for Wonder Girls.

Wonder Girls’ new album in Korea is scheduled to be released in early June. We have a line up of captivating performances, to meet the expectation of our domestic fans. We are delighted to inform you to highly anticipate the new looks from the Wonder Girls for this upcoming album.

Last announcement is in regards to the plans for U.S. activities.

After the Wonder Girls TV movie has been aired through TeenNick, we have been receiving proposals from the major broadcasting companies in the United States. Therefore, we are in the middle of arbitration for the proposals we have received. As of now, our goal is to start implementing U.S. activities as soon as the plans for the TV-related project is finalized. We plan to utilize this project as a marketing tool for the release of the new album.
Korean album in June, Japan debut in July? And US promotions? Is all or nothing I guess.
Also soshi will release a single/album also this Summer, although I predict in August (5 year debut / 2 year Japan debut anniversaries). Comparisons will be inevitable.

It would be too good if the music video was the exact same, just with the Japanese version dubbed over it.

If you turn the image of a peach, it becomes a heart, and I really really like people who look like peaches. When I was composing, it had a very feminine feel to it, so while writing the 1st verse, I deliberately used the perspective of a male to think about a really really pretty girl… and I thought of f(x)’s Sulli… With those feelings in mind, I wrote these lyrics. I thought Sulli resembled a peach.

No tickets yet. I think I might sit this one out. I'd be down to pay $300/$400 for 100 level seats but paying $200 for 200 level seats doesn't sit right with me for some reason.
