I’m glad that Dara finally joined the twitter world through @CONGRATS2NE1! I love that she did it in this way. Although, I am not discounting the theory that she does have a private twitter account somewhere out there, I do prefer that she just tweets through @CONGRATS2NE1. Here are Dara’s earlier tweets:

STAFF: The concert will soon start, the members are now in their high spirits! CD and Goods are also success!  

DARA: everyone in Kobe we will soon meet! please enjoy! Today we are eating takoyaki in the dressing room! 


DARA: Also after the concert please look forward to memory photo! Everyone lets play!

Update #1:

달옹의 일기! 오늘은 도쿄에서 신칸센을 타고 오사카로 왔다! 내일 고베에서 콘서트를 하기 때문이다! 신칸센을 처음 타보는거라 다들 설레임에 맛있는 도시락을 우가우가~먹었당! 근데 멀미가 나서 다들 잠에 들었다!ㅋㅋㅋ 그리고 오사카에 도착햇다!^^

Darong’s diary! Today, we’re going to take the shinkansen (T/N: Japan bullet train) from Osaka to Tokyo! Because tomorrow, it’s the concert in Kobe! This is my first shinkansen ride, and we’re going to eat this delicious lunch and it’s all very exciting, wooga wooga~ Par-tay! But then everyone felt motion sickness, and have drifted off to sleep! Ke ke ke Then we’ll arrive in Osaka! ^^

Update #2:

돈키호테에 가니 재밌는 물건들이 많았다!!! 귀여운 쵸파 머리띠가 있길래 한번 써봤다!ㅋㅋㅋ 잘 어울리나..?? 평소에 머리띠를 자주하는편이라 새로운 머리띠를 구입할까했다! 그런데! 옆에서 누군가가 쵸파 모자를 쓰고 웃고있엇다.._-_ㅋㅋ

There’s a lot of interesting things that can be found in Don Quixote!!! I found this cute Chopper (T/N: A character from the anime, One Piece, that Minzy watches) headband and tried it on at once! Ke ke ke Does it fit me well..?? My hairstyle is usually braided on the side, so I don’t usually wear headbands, but maybe I’ll buy this new headband! But! There’s this person smiling next to me, wearing a Chopper hat… _-_ Ke ke

Update #4:

두둥!!! 짱매가.. 쵸파모자를 쓰구 웃고있었다!!!ㅋ깜놀한 난 결국 머리띠를 사지못하고..ㅋ 짱매 티셔츠도 재밋엇다! 돼지가족의 식탁에 돈까스가 올려져있어 우울해하는듯한??ㅋ 암튼 우린 호텔로 돌아왔다! 내일 콘서트를 위해 푸욱~ 자야한다! 여러분~ 굿밤!^_^/

2NE1 Will Soon Hit $10 Million USD in Sales for ‘NOLZA in Japan’

Girl group 2NE1 is making waves all over Japan with their debut. They landed first place on the Oricon daily chart recently, and are currently on a three-city tour that is reportedly racking up almost $8 million USD in sales!

2NE1′s first Japanese tour originally scheduled four to five concerts, but after receiving countless requests from 190,000 fans, the group decided to hold a total of six concerts, starting at the Yokohama Arena and ending at the Makuhari Messe.

According to tour officials, 2NE1 has sold 70,000 tickets thus far, each worth around 7,500 yen. In total, they’ve brought in $7.87 million USD in sales, and that’s not including the memorabilia that fans can purchase, so officials are looking forward to upwards of $10 million USD in total sales.
