Реклама - сердце корейской попсы. Неважно, что ты поешь и как, и вообще есть ли на твоем счёту хотя бы один полноценный альбом - главное набрать побольше очков популярности, пусть даже благодаря одному-единственному хиту. Как только тебя замечают, то тут же появляются заманчивые предложения порекламить всяко-разное. А в рекламе денег можно срубить побольше, чем на дисках и выступлениях. И практически без напряга.

Девчонки f(x) это понимают и поэтому не без удовольствия впряглись в рекламную кампанию системы аукционов.

Рианна пополнила список звезд, которые хотят записать новый хит вместе с Lady Gaga. Девушка сама рассказала об этом.

«Совместная работа с Lady Gaga будет действительно крутой, потому что мы делаем похожие типы музыки. А еще мы обе любим моду. Так что я думаю, что это будет очень горячее видео. Хочу с ней сотрудничать». Также певица добавила, что хочет попробовать что-нибудь новенькое для своих песен. Следующим ее дуэтом станет совместная работа с Тэйлор Свифт.

Появилась первая удаленная сцена из фильма «Сумерки. Сага. Новолуние», которую, видимо, скоро можно будет увидеть на DVD.

Особо не обольщайтесь, там нет ни Роба, ни Тэйлора, а только Белла, ее папа и старый грязный мотоцикл.

По сообщению полиции, Goto Tokiko (мать бывшей участницы группы Morning Musume Goto Maki) умерла в ночь с субботы на воскресенье, после того как выпала из окна третьего этажа своего дома.

Tokiko пришла домой около 10:30 вечера, подвыпившая. После непродолжительного разговора с дочерью она поднялась на третий этаж. Женщина выпала из окна спальни своего сына, который сейчас отбывает срок за ограбление, совершенное в сентябре 2007 года. В 10:55 старшая сестра Maki нашла мать лежащей на улице. Tokiko срочно доставили в больницу, но уже после полуночи она скончалась от травм головы. Никаких предсмертных записок обнаружено не было

Пэрис Хилтон, пожалуй, единственная из звезд, которая выпустила больше всех своих ароматов. Совсем скоро светская львица собирается запустить свой десятый парфюм. Именно для съемок рекламы этих своих духов она перевоплотилась в образ Мэрилин Монро, о чем мы писали ранее.

Название для парфюма Хилтон пока не придумала, но скорее всего это будет вновь нечто сказочное и легкое. Девушка пишет: « Я не могу поверить, что это уже мой десятый аромат! Я так счастлива и горда собой». Также она рассказала, что старается сделать свой новый веб-сайт очень интересным для фанатов и сама лично добавляет различные видео и фото на него.

Главный редактор Arena очень хотел подать девчонок из группы T-ara в как можно более сексуальном виде. Требовал таких фотографий, взглянув на которые мужчины тут же сходили бы с ума от похоти. Желал получить образы, которые неминуемо уносили бы всех нормальных самцов человеческой расы в бесконечное путешествие по миру эротических фантазий…

Но что-то не срослось. Не цепляет.

People shine when they do what they love best. Probably that is why he shines so brightly when he sings and dances on stage. This guy who sat down with me for an interview today is a cute, shy young man but once on stage he turns into a performer who is brimming with charisma and sizzling with sexiness. His name is TaeYang.

He was barely 20 when I first met him. Obviously he has constantly grown since that day – a fact that makes me always look forward to what he will bring next.

Last year, TaeYang released two digital singles – Where U At and Wedding Dress, roughly a year and a half after his first solo album, which was highly praised both by the public and the critics. Since it was right after the leader of the band GD’s first solo album swept the charts, he must have been extra nervous because there was an element of competition, albeit friendly.

When asked about it, he, true to his form, said he was just so happy that he could make music, which he loved so much, and share it with many people. He said, “I’m so glad that I can do music I’ve wanted to do. Of course, I felt pressured and nervous and anxious coming out with new solo singles. The biggest concern is the musical aspect – I wasn’t worried so much about whether people would like it or not as about whether my desire to come out with something better than the last one, both musically and performance-wise has been fulfilled.”

TaeYang considers the virtue of persistence most important. Persistence and commitment are the keys to his achievement. He constantly works on his dancing and vocal skills. Whenever he has time, he practices.

JiYong and I
This year, G-Dragon and TaeYang took turns to promote their solo releases as in a relay race. It must have been a happy year for the Big Bang fans. Having been together ever since they first joined YGE 13 years ago, the two are best buddies but they can’t be more different. What does TaeYang think of G-Dragon?

TaeYang: “We’ve come to know our differences very well. JiYong absorbs new things very quickly and has the presence of an icon. He constantly reinvents himself and has a glamorous image in fashion as well as in music. Compared to him, I’m a bit simpler. The fact that the people who became fans of my music early on continue to listen to and love my music is what I’m most proud of.”

Any plans to act?
Watching Top and SR acting in films/TV series, I was suddenly reminded that TaeYang used to be a child actor. It is a well known fact that he’s solely committed to music and I knew that it could be a rather irrelevant question but just went ahead and asked if he had any plans to act in the future.

TaeYang: “I became a child actor because my mum wanted me to and I remember I didn’t particularly like it. That led me to decide that I wouldn’t want to act again. But that was before. I’m not saying that I will definitely act again. I might want to act again if I come across something that has to do with music, like “Dreamgirls,” and something that makes me feel that it’s going to be really great.”

A worrywart
TaeYang is a 21-year old young man. At that age, you’re supposed to feel like the whole world is yours. He has a sunny side of course but you get the impression that he is on the more serious and thoughtful side.

With a cute eye smile, TaeYang says, “I worry too much and am overly serious. It’s not that I don’t have a fun-loving side. I love to laugh and joke around and am as up for pranks as the next guy but I am simply too busy and have too much to do. When I’m having fun, I tend to lose track of what I’m supposed to be doing. People tell me I should loosen up a little but when I think about the things I need to do, I just can’t.”

Where does he put all his time and energy? Music, of course. He gets energized when he goes out on stage. When he focuses on something, he tends to give it his undivided attention. At the moment, he is crazy about music and wants to focus on music.

A girlfriend? Let’s have a look.
When he released Where U At, the fact that he’s never had a girlfriend got a lot of media attention. As you can tell from the title, the song is about a man longing to encounter the woman he is destined to be with. Well, there are only a few days left until the new year, so we’d better start looking next year.

When asked what type of woman he is looking for, he stresses that he doesn’t think looks are important. He says, “I like women who can take good care of themselves, are in control of their lives and understand their strengths. And I like a good listener. I don’t mind age difference up to 10 years.”

My dreams
When asked what he does when he doesn’t practice, he says he watches movies or read comic books. He strongly recommends the “One Piece” series, saying it’s a Читать далее...

Special Interview Story vol.46
SOL(From BIGBANG)


[SOL's Performance, Which Cannot Be Mimicked by Anyone]

Following G-Dragon, the person that accepted our request for an exclusive interview is Big Bang member SOL, who returned solo after approximately 1 year and 5 months. The two of them are great rivals and yet they are the best of friends. However, their appeal points are vastly different. If G-Dragon represents his world through music, then SOL represents his world through performance.

Last year, SOL released [HOT], containing [Look Only at Me] and [Prayer]. HOT recorded explosive hits, and SOL’s first solo activities were a success. And the new song [Where U At], which was released on October 15th, reached 1st on the charts as soon as it was released, foreshadowing the hit of his first official album.

Finding You

[Where u at] is a song shouting out to a precious person that hasn't been met yet. If you see his MV, you will know this. Although he doesn't yet know her face, he's able to portray the image of him drawing longingly because he's SOL. No, he says that his real feelings are his, now. Also, this song is a project where he has made the first footsteps towards becoming a composer.

If you compare this song to [Look Only at Me], the last released mini album, this song is the total opposite of Look Only at Me. [Look Only at Me], which sings of a man saying, look only at me and don't even look at other men, is in contrast to [Where U at], where he is drawing up feelings of a boy.

G-Dragon's Friendship

If G-Dragon's first solo stage was [Inkigayo], SOL's first solo comeback stage was [Inkigayo] as well. On the music program Inkigayo that was aired October 25th, they both performed not as Big Bang members, but as each different artists on each different stages. To be honest, SOL didn't expect to be promoting [Where U At] in its released stage. However, to repay the fans' warm support, he had a special stage this day. This was the first, and the last, [Where U At] stage performance.

In the interview with the reporter which took place after the TV recording, SOL said, "didn' sleep a wink last night. This song poured its all into performance. There was a part where I made a little of a mistake but if you include the stage setting and everything, it was a very satisfying performance." Also, G-Dragon, who was watching his performance, said, "It was very cool. I know how much SOL worked for this stage, so I was nervous as well," showing the close friendship of the two. As to the question of whether they feel competitive with each other, G-Dragon said, "The styles we seek are different, so we don't feel a rival instinct with each other. For both of us, our styles and our concepts are set in stone, so on the contrary, these stages are very joyful and I think they give each other good influence."

As SOL, this is your first interview. This is an interview of a solo singer, not Big Bang member SOL; how does this feel?

- When I'm with Big Bang, there's five of us, so if we concentrate on working hard together, when I'm alone, I try to be more sincere. It's always joyful to talk about personal stuff.

In 2009, you major debuted in Japan. The major debut song [Gara Gara GO!!] reached 3rd on the Oricon charts, and you joined the ranks of top stars even in Japan. What kinds of changes where there?

- There's not much that changed. After the major debut, it was probably the fact that we got to appear on satellite television that changed the most…. (laugh)

Before this, you were photographed happily shopping on Harajuku, etc., is it too far-fetched now (laugh)?

- On the contrary, we just go around like nothing happened (laugh). Now, all the clerks at the stores know me, so they treat me better than before, and now I feel like I have new friends.

It's your 2nd solo song in a year and 5 months, how do you feel?

- My heart is pounding at the thought that it's been a year and 5 months, and I can prepare my own music and my own Читать далее...
