TWICE is enjoying huge popularity in Japan


TWICE made an official debut in Japan by releasing its first Japanese album "#TWICE" in the country on June 28. Well, the result is very successful. The album sold over 100,000 copies within just 4 days, while TWICE is maintaining no.2 position on Oricon's daily album chart. The only singer who has a higher record of album sales for the period is Kanjani8, a very popular Japanese boy group.

That's not all. On June 30, TWICE appeared on "Music Station", which is the most popular music show in Japan. TWICE became the first k-pop girl group who appeared on "Music Station" since Girls' Generation made an appearance on the program in 2012. It's very unusual for the program to invite a rookie girl group.

In addition, TWICE succeeded in putting the ad of its hit "TT" on the billboard of Tokyo Tower. TWICE is the first ever k-pop idol group who proceeds a joint promotion with Tokyo Tower, one of the iconic buildings in Tokyo.


And it's also notable that TWICE held its debut showcase at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium which can accommodate 10,000 audiences, while TWICE has been chosen as a model for Shibuya 109's summer sale campaign too. Shybuya 109 is a large shopping mall, and large billboards featuring the 9 members appeared in the main street of Tokyo.

Many people in the k-pop industry are now expecting TWICE to make a big splash in the Japanese music market just like Kara and Girls' Generation did. The girl group's "TT dance" is now in vogue among young Japanese people. For now, yeah, there is a good chance that TWICE will dominate the Japanese music market for some reasons.

First, the members are very cute and lovely just like Kara and Girls' Generation's members were. Second, their songs are very catchy and easy to sing along to just like Kara and Girls' Generation's songs are. But that's not all. It could be the biggest benefit of TWICE that the girl group has Japanese members. You know, TWICE has 3 Japanese members, Momo, Sana and Mina, and that's one reason why the girl group is receiving a great deal of attention from Japanese people.


<K-pop Secret Vol.4: The Reality of K-pop Idols>
K-pop Secret Vol.4 contains stories about the reality of k-pop idols. The author, who has been working as a k-pop journalist since 2010 gives you answers to some questions about the reality of k-pop idols such as “How much do k-pop stars earn?” “Why do k-pop agencies do sajaegi?” and “Why do k-pop idols leave their groups?”

K-pop Trainee’s Daily Schedule

Image
I’m sure you’re very curious about k-pop trainee’s daily schedule. Well, it differs from case to case, but let me explain about the general case. If you become a k-pop trainee, you should follow the daily schedule below.

8 a.m. : School attendance
As most of k-pop trainees are students, they should go to school in the morning. They try not to skip breakfast if possible because it’s important for them to manage their health. At their school, they take classes just like the other ordinary students, but they usually listen to music during break time to make preparations for their weekly test. They sometimes write song lyrics, while there are also some passionate trainees who practice singing and dancing at their school.

5 p.m. : Go to practicing room
After school is over, trainees go to their practicing rooms. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after they finish a…

The Truth About WGM: Were Taemin and Naeun Really Dating?

Image
Have you watched “We Got Married”? As you know, the program is about male and female stars who entered their imaginary married life. Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about “We Got Married.”


Is WGM Scripted?
Before filming the program, the production crew delivers scripts to the cast. However, the scripts of “We Got Married” are totally different from those of dramas or movies. The scripts of “We Got Married” do not have any detailed words. They just include general explanation of situation. For example, “It’s the day you move into your new apartment,” “It’s the day you introduce your wife to your friends,” etc. On the basis of the scripts, the cast prepares for clothes, accessories and more. And during filming the program, the production crew occasionally intervenes in the couple’s dating because the young cast who is unused to a real variety show such as SHINee's Taemin and APink's Naeun needs some he…

About MR, AR, LMR and LAR: Do Kpop Idols Really Sing Live?

Image
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance."


MR(Music Recorded)
Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t just mean they …

Secret about kpop idol stars' microphones

Image
Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it’s difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there’s a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are.


Flesh-Colored Microphone
You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live.


Black Microphone
The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's agency has aspir…
