[theqoo] THE J-POP REMAKE PROJECT THAT IS CONFIRMED UNTIL JUNE NEXT YEAR
JDY: Kangnam, you discovered a daebak item between Korean and Japanese vocal powerhouses?
K: I thought of a collab where Korean popular artists can cover Japanese songs that are popular in Japan
K: There’s a song from Tuki called Bansanka. I asked Taeyeon-ssi a favor to sing this song. And the moment Taeyeon released her version of the song, it went #1 on the charts. The MV also featured Wonie and Minami. Taeyeon reinterpreted the song using her own vocal color. And Minami and Wonie created a buzz by appearing in the MV. The views blew up and of course the music charts blew up too. It was a huge success
K: And from a broadcast perspective, I can say this, but the next one will be Hanroro! We’re planning to sell the Evangelion OST remake.
K: We’ve already confirmed the hottest artists lineup until next June. We have already finalized an agreement to use those Japanese masterpiece songs
1st volume – Taeyeon Bansanka
2nd volume – Hanroro Cruel Angel’s Thesis
Volume 3
AKMU’s Soohyun will sing Aoi Sangoshou
1. Why is this necessary… I hate this. I hope the other singers drop out
2. No but I bet they’re doing that because there’s actually a demand
3. It’s not like we’re going to cut ties with Japan completely; if you don’t like it, can’t you just choose not to listen to it?
4. Seriously, why go out of your way to do that? There are plenty of options like Argentina, Ireland, or Turkey, so why specifically *that* country? Why? Why go to such lengths? Why???
5. I mean, it was the first time I’d heard the song, and I wasn’t planning to listen to the original anyway, I’m just sticking to the Korean remake version. It’s basically a personal YouTube project, but it’s getting a lot of attention because it took off right from the start and features a great lineup
6. Since they’re performing songs that are already famous, Kangnam is just making it into a project. But people are singling out Kangnam for criticism
7. So unnecessary…
8. I hate mixing K-pop and J-pop
9. Why is he doing this?
10. I’m so tired of collabs with Japanese. This is happening for dramas too…
