Article: 2NE1 To Release New Japanese Single On September 12

2NE1 to release new Japanese single

K-pop icon 2NE1 has decided to excite their fans in Japan one more time with the release of a new single.

2NE1 will drop their new Japanese single that includes the latest hit tune “I LOVE YOU” on September 12, according to the group’s official Japanese website Monday.

The girls have been cruising smoothly with “I LOVE YOU,” which already became available online in the Korean version on July 5. It has also been chosen as the campaign song of American makeup brand Maybeline New York’s mascara.

The officials noted that the forthcoming record will be unleashed in two different versions: a record-only version and a record plus DVD version that includes music videos and making clips.

On the same day of announcing the new release, the girls also revealed a snippet of promotional video of “I LOVE YOU” in the Japanese-language version.

“I LOVE YOU,” the cross-genre song of electronic and trot music, has been topping various online music charts for multiple weeks upon its release, including Gaon’s weekly singles chart.

2NE1 expanded their singing activities into Japan in September last year with the release of the debut Japanese single “NOLZA” on September 21. The girls, who attracted around 70,000 fans in total for the first promotional tour in Japan last year, released their second single “SCREAM” in March.

Meanwhile, the four K-pop queens finally kicked off their long-awaited first global tour “NEW EVOLUTION” in Seoul on July 28 and 29.

Concert Review: 2NE1 Burns the House Down with Its Exclusive Concert

The concert sounded so much fun! ^^ I really wish I’d get to witness this tour live. T_T Congratulations to our girls, for a successful concert! ^_^

2NE1 Burns the House Down with Its Exclusive Concert

This group didn’t try to cover up anything with petty tricks. 2NE1 filled the 120 minutes solely with dance and song.

The 20,000 fans gathered for both days of the group’s performance promptly went crazy, holding up their light sticks and dancing in a frenzy.

2NE1 launched its global tour New Evolution, the first global tour for any girl group, with concerts held from July 28-29 in Seoul.

It was another chance for fans to witness the power of the group following its exclusive concert in Korea last year and its Japan Arena tour.

2NE1 didn’t ease into the festivities. As soon as the members appeared onstage they belted out the hits I Am the Best,Fire and Clap. They then pulled another pin with the words “Let’s go crazy,” and made the audience explode in excitement. The reggae version of I Don’t Care, performed on a golden sofa in the middle of the stage, added a shining moment to the concert.

The moving stage was controlled not with electronic devices, but manually by the male backup dancers, and the members made sure they put it to good use.

Their voices flowed more effortlessly with the support from the band session, which contained the bassist Divinity Roxx, former director of Beyonce’s world tour. Travis Payne, choreographer for Michael Jackson’s This is It and famed stage designer Michael Cotton perfected the performances.

Although there were no shocking stage effects or surprising guests, the stage still overflowed with the 2NE1 members’ talent, and female fans could also find something to be excited about as the male backup dancers often flashed their fit bodies.
