SNSD gave shout-outs to Fany on Music Station

The girls are in Japan again and they appeared on Asahi TV’s “Music Station” aired on November 26th. Performing “Genie” without Tiffany, the girls felt the ‘void’ on the stage and gave shout-outs to Fany who is currently recuperating in Korea due to her knee injury:

• Sunny: We miss Tiffany today but we will try our best.
  Taeyeon: We really miss Tiffany but eight of us will try our best on stage.
  Sooyoung: We miss Tiffany today but I think we performed well.
  
  The girls repeated three times “We miss Tiffany!” during Music Station.

Jessica did well in singing Fany’s lines. Instead of the usual “DJ, put it back on”, she awesomely changed it to “Music Station, put it back on” to suit the program.

Another point to ponder is Sunny’s hair. Following her recent appearances with short and wavy hair, netizens have been wondering if it was shortened for Japanese activities. Well, she appeared with long golden hair. Hmm…I’ve a bit of thinking to do.

Dino Yul gave the deepest impression to Eunhyuk

On KBS 2TV’s “Night Star” which will be aired at 11.15pm KST on November 28th, Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and SNSD members talked about their first impressions of one another.

Hyoyeon said, “During trainee days, I was really nervous when I first met Eunhyuk. He would greet me in an honorific manner when we met at the rehearsal room”.

Euhnyuk explained, “SNSD gave me a strong impression, especially Yuri who made the dinosaur-like noises during her pre-debut days” He also mentioned that before debut, the trainees would have to prepare for their personal repertoires every week and it involved singing and dancing. Eunhyuk added, “Yuri then made an impersonation of ‘dinosaur voice’ by mistake on one of the entertainment programs”.

Upon hearing that, YoonA revealed, “At that time, besides the dinosaur-like noise, Yuri also did other weird impersonations as well”. Yuri then was asked to reenact those weird and wacky impersonations.

Sooyoung revealed Soshi’s reactions towards medicine

Sooyoung revealed some peculiar incidents about the girls.

Recently, during the recording of KBS 2TV’s late night variety show ‘Night Star’, Sooyoung confessed that she helps SNSD members to organize their roundworm medicine (for prevention purpose) once in every 6 months.

Sooyoung said, “As there are so many of us, I often get confused about who’s taking the medicine and who’s not. Therefore,I would carefully write down their names next to the medicine”. Sooyoung also revealed that among the members, Taeyeon and Jessica hate taking the roundworm medicine the most. According to her again, to ensure that they really take the medicine, one will have to watch them closely from the moment they have the pills in their hands, with a glass of water up to the moment they swallow the pills.

Jessica on the other hand, would come up with excuses not to take the medicine. Sooyoung explained that other members would take their medicines when they catch a cold but not Jessica. Once, she refused to take the tablet and said, “I’m only this sick. It would eventually go away”.

Why is K-pop absent from this year’s Kohaku?

This year, we’ve seen the largest success rate for K-pop in Japan since the debut of BoA back in 2001, which has caused a renewal of the famed term, “Hallyu/Korean wave”. With BIG BANG,KARA, and Shoujo Jidai/SNSD all shocking fans with their high entries on the Oricon charts, many believed that any one of these groups – or all of them – would be given an invitation to the famous stage at the end of year music special, Kohaku, which occurs on New Year’s Eve.

To some, receiving an invitation to this stage is one of the highlights of a musical career in Japan. Once you receive an invitation, you instantly gain access to a wide variety of audiences, perhaps even gaining a few more fans. Artists such as Angela Aki and Koda Kumi, who have caught their big breaks with one or several hits, have previously gained an invitation to the show are now a staple on the New Year’s special, and both artists are attending once again for 2010.

So why is it that one of the biggest trends in the Japanese music scene this year, and perhaps well into 2011, is absent from the stage?

According to head director of Kohaku, Keisuke Inoue, although it was discussed, an offer simply wasn’t put out.

“It is certain that this year, K-pop has been remarkable on the Japanese music scene. This movement will surely continue into next year, and we will support it and see to it, by all means, that it will reach Kohaku’s stage“.

Last year, one of the major surprises on Kohaku was the performance by Susan Boyle, who was the only foreign act.

Inoue also stated the planning of Kohaku was a careful process, where participants were selected and their music was listened to with a certain frame of mind for the show.

Although the official list’s absence of Korean artists came as a surprise to many, there are speculations that KARA and Shoujo Jidai/SNSD might have debuted too late in the year to make it onto the show, despite their success. To add to that point, many Japanese artists work very hard for several years before getting an offer, so the sudden appearance of these groups might have caused a controversy if they had been offered a place on the show “too easily”.

Are you disappointed with the absence of Korean artists on this year’s Kohaku? Let us know your thoughts!
