VIOLET PART:

Sound and Fashion, SO COOL! South Korea’s Lethal Weapons Has Landed In Japan!

From the beginning, their sound and fashion is a provocative force in pop. South Korea’s hottest girl group, 2NE1 has finally debuted in Japan.

INTERVIEW PORTION:

Korea’s “next generation pop icons” 2NE1 has made their much-awaited debut in Japan. On September 21, their first mini-album, titled NOLZA, would be released. Here’s the finest of pop, 2NE1, interview sheet:

●CL
NOLZA, in Korean, means “play.” Before we go up on stage, we always huddle and shout that out together. We want to give our all and play in Japan with all our hearts. We also have our first album in mind. Our songs in the 2NE1 album show a great deal of strong personality.

●MINZY
Don’t Stop The Music, which is our 5th song, is the kind of music that puts you in a good mood. If I want to jam or ease my tension, it’s the music that I want to listen to.

●DARA
I AM THE BEST, is our first song in the album, and it’s a good song to play while driving. The verses make you feel good, like you have nothing to worry about.

●BOM
UGLY, is our second song, if you are depressed and want to feel powerful, listen to it!

●DARA
I think that the best song is still I AM THE BEST! Our one song says I’m Ugly.. Then I listen to it, and it’s the total opposite. Haha! It’s fun!

●CL
LONELY expresses the loneliness that a woman may feel, and some people are surprised to know that it’s a 2NE1 song. I believe that 2NE1’s image is that of four strong women. I especially feel like I can be an Iron Woman, but I have a soft and feminine side.. I’m just a girl (T/N: Lyrics in Lonely) Ha ha!

On September 19th, 2NE1 would be meeting 70,000 people for their 1st Japan Tour, “NOLZA IN JAPAN.” This would be the first time that the four members would greet such a huge number.

●CL
The first time we performed in a concert in Japan, we were guests in BIG BANG’s concert. I think that the experience has helped us to face this.

●BOM
It’s always been our dream to do so, and we have come quite far, and have practiced a lot, and we hope to show you our best!

●DARA
It’s a really large-scale tour! I hope that everyone who have fun while playing!

●MINZY
I think that the tour would allow our Japanese fans to see 2NE1’s charm, and also an opportunity to play.

ROUGH TRANSLATIONS:

There will be an interview that will come out next week. It will talk about matters, such as their Japan debut, their impression of fans in Japan this time, and their point of fashion. 

Each member says the distinct charm of the other members respectively. They would start from left to right [A/N: The member must describe the person seated on her right. Dara described Minzy since she’s the rightmost one.]:

Minzy to CL: CL is like a lion that flies freely on the stage and plays. Her appearance really makes charisma overflow, and makes her look very cool

CL to Bom: I think that all the members’ charm lies in our freedom on stage. Bom is a funny person, but she is different when she gets on stage. When she’s there, she makes the songs sound so wonderful.

Bom to Dara: Dara is the person who changes the most when she’s on stage. Her expression and movement have a certain charisma that is very attractive. She really likes wearing the hip-hop style on stage, like a baggy pair of pants, although her body looks delicvate, and she has such a lovely face. She also likes surprising hairstyles.

Dara to Minzy: Minzy is very powerful and energetic when she comes on stage. For example, she does everything that she is told, if someone says “Please do this,” even just once, she does it. She is also a person with overflowing talent and is really cool. There’s always something new from MInzy when she comes out on stage. Especially when she is dancing, I feel like I could just stand there and watch her, admiringly. Minzy is really cool, though she is still so young.

At one point of the interview, Dara said that: We like to get in touch with our fans very much. It’s a small thing that we can do. I’ve always wanted to become intimate with them, like how friends are. That’s why “NOLZA” is our motto when we are on stage. Because we want to enjoy it with you.

She also said that: We’d like to think that 2NE1 has a distinct feature, because our music and style is different from the others.

Dara also said: Sorry that it’s only now that we’re meeting you all in Japan. But it’s finally time for our Japan debut, so it’s nice meeting all of you. I am very excited, and we’re planning everything to get ready for Japan.
