GP Basic become blondies in Japanese "Jelly Pop" MV

Young girl group GP Basic hopes to debut in Japan with an MV for their song "Jelly Pop".  The MV features a lot of weird gummy figures dancing around the girls as they sing.  The girls have decided to become blondies for their MV, which really stands out in their choreography.  GP Basic had performed this song long ago in Japan, but only released the MV recently.

My favorite gummy animal in this MV has to be the weird pencil pushing thing. Whoo, move it pencil pushing thing! ~

I also command HyunA and GP Basic to make a new single called "Soda Pop".

2PM's Japanese debut single sells 59,000 copies

2PM's newest Japanese single "Take Off" sold 59,000 copies in its first week of release. The single featured a futuristic concept and was released with MV shortly after.  Fans criticized the choreography as being too "simplistic", but praised the song for its "adorableness" and enjoyed the music as a whole.

2PM surpassed SNSD, who sold 45,000 copies  of their Japanese album in their first week, and Big Bang, who sold around 44,000 copies of their limited edition Big Bang 2 Japanese album.  But 2PM has yet to rival Japanese artists such as KAT-TUN, who recently sold 151,000 copies in their first week (KAT-TUN placed 1st on Oricon charts 20 times since their debut).

2PM is one of the many groups to be well-received in Korea (i.e. Big Bang, SNSD, B2ST, and KARA).  2NE1 remains to be one of the few Japan-debuted Korean groups not to be as successful in Japan.
