wooow that's great CM for sweet? That's pretty good!
I have seen the photos from Nolza concerts and it looked really awesome. All the goodies. <3

CM for sweet? Awesome!!!

Rumor American Album tracklist =D

http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3233/pek7a.jpg

Ugly in English will be an interesting one... I'd like to hear an English version of "I AM THE BEST"! XDD

When are they supposed to debut in US by the way ?

OMG PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE!!!! OMG >.< I HOPE IS TRUE!!!


omg sweet cm omg yay

Wow that would be a nice tracklist I hope it's real :o.

oh if it's true, that would be cool ! no I Am The Best in English ? I thought it would be nice xD

Nice...but no I AM THE BEST? :(

I want an english version of I AM THE BEST :grumpy

I have this odd feeling....but yes, please be true :( the tracklist is almost perfect( just missing I Am The Best).

I just can't seem to get myself excited about their US debut. I don't like seeing my faves flop :( /debbie downer

i hope that tracklist its true :heart

btw, i was watching a korean drama and look what they were singing:roflmao

Whoa, their japanese tour was completely sold out, more than 300,000 tickets! and so avex is adding more dates, i think. plus they're thinking about adding extra tickets for people that didn't get to them on time and want to go. this is amazing :thud

Wow, I'm a big blackjack fan of 2NE1 and I can't believe I've never posted here before...Odd. D:

The concert photos look amazing! It looks like it's an amazing show they've put on, and they all look gorgeous. Can't wait to see more and get it on DVD. :heart I'm very happy for that girl who won! I remember going through the contest videos but I can't remember what she did, I think she sang or did a MV. :)

I'm also disappointed about NOLZA's tracklist. ): I really don't see the point of buying the CD + DVD version when they've uploaded the HD vids to Youtube, and that they're not really any different from the Korean PVs? I thought there would be a couple more new tracks on the CD version, if that then maybe a couple of songs from the 'To Anyone' album like 'Can't Nobody' and 'Go Away', like originally intended. I remember hearing a preview for the Japanese version of 'Go Away' and it sounded epic. ): I'm getting the Korean album but not this one, unfortunately. ): Probably cause I only understand a little Korean and Japanese, so to me the albums are sort of the same, whereas it they were re-done in English, I would.

The picture for the USA tracklist looks awesome. :heart I hope it's real. It's got all the older tracks there so it looks promising. I always though that Will.I.Am would be featured in one of their songs, it's a good publicity for them as he's well known so I think it's a good idea. :) I'm glad they put 'Can't Nobody' in there. :D I'm not going to worry about 'I AM THE BEST' at the moment (Although it better be in there!) cause you can't see the whole tracklist from the picture, it could be down the bottom, hahaha. :roflmao

I LOVE Protect the Boss!! I'm only up to ep 8 though. In episode 7 (I think), one of Park Bom's songs was playing in the background.

I found an I am the best instrumental! How did they do it!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK7LzvZyzCY

^there's a channel where the user uploads the official instrumentals and acapellas bought frm YG's store.

oh -.- ajajaj thank you

Yeah, they added seats for one date so far.
That's why Avex is promoting them so much despite being not that good on digital rankings yet. Concerts are where the money comes from. :laugh

New 11st shopping site CM!



Bom at the end! :roflmao

^ I always love their 11st CF, so cute and hilarious XD

2NE1 does a public service announcement and CM for Law and Order! In the CM 2NE1 shows and promotes legal ways people can keep safe and stay out of trouble.
They show you how from recycling, keeping dogs on leads, looking at traffic lights for the green man to cross the street safetly, don't spots spam or rude content online, safe downloads, using seatbelts, getting along with friends, and making people join in if they're alone. Showing good and safe ways to abide the law and live happier.



The CM is adorable. :heart I respect them for doing this, I think it's a great idea for them to promote safey and politeness! I think younger fans will listen.

Yeah, the CM is adorable!

:laugh

^Hahaha I love that. :D

Bom always gets the dog, lol.

aw, those commercials are so cute!

Time to stalk tumblr and livejournal for lovely gifs.

Personally I'm glad there isn't I Am The Best (English Ver.) on their English debut album; that second rap verse alone caused me second-hand embarrassment. I don't need a whole song.

That's the best part of the CM :laugh

Hey guys, 'I AM THE BEST' is in the top 50 at #37 on the Weekly RIAJ Digital Chart for 31st of August - 6th september week. Let's keep cheering for them to have a successful debut! :heart

awwww so cute

Hilarious CMs. Only in Asia, I swear.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but Japanese Teaser of 'LONELY' has been leaked:



Not sure if the screenshot there is one from the PV, but I hope so. Cause then we'll be getting a different PV for Lonely which would be nice. :)

^ That screenshot is from the new MV. You can guess who uploaded it, the one who always shares and leaks tiny things :laugh Dara! She uploaded it onto her me2day.

^I love her for doing that. :laugh

And YAAAY! I was really hoping so because that image looks so interesting to me. Now I'm excited to see the MV. :heart

yea same here! cant wait to see the new MV of Lonely! I tihnk it's gonna be so beautiful :)

I know it will be better than original

Oh yes, they're doing something new for the japanese market, finally!
Really looking forward to it, the pic looks nice.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if anyone has uploaded this, but there's a user called 'Nickybreul' on Youtube who uploads a lot of 2NE1 stuff, and she has lots of LQ previews of songs from 2NE1's USA debut recorded from 2NE1 TV on her channel if anyone wants to listen, including:

No Stronger Love/Pump Up The Jam
Love Last Forever Feat. Will.I.Am
Let's Keep It Moving
CRAZY FOR YOUR LOVE
Don't Stop
Trying not to fall/ AT NIGHT, TONIGHT
AS LONG SO I GOT YOU
PLAY MY SONG

http://www.youtube.com/user/nickybre...12/KXzxanh_Gl4

I noticed some of these are one the supposed tracklist picture on the previous page, but of course the tracklist might be different now because of the new release, but these are all snippets from 2NE1 TV. :)
She's also uploaded snippets of the Japanese versions of 'Go Away' and 'Love Is Ouch' that were originally meant to be on the Japanese album. :)

At first they sound like normal generic american songs to me, but a few of the snippets are growing on me. I hope the USA debut date is confirmed soon! :heart

i love the Japanese preview of LONELY. :D

love the lonely japanese teaser :heart
and those CMs are cute aww

I was actually listening to those a few days ago, but I don't know if will.i.am did such a good job :( Some of them sound alright, but some are kind of generic. BUT, you can't say anything yet, until the real thing comes out.

All I can say is....YOU BETTER NOT RUIN MY GIRLS WILL.I.AM :gnash

Pump up the Jam? Really? I hope at least this one is fake. I mean, come on; will.i.am has these four awesomely talented women to work with, and he sticks them with a remake of an old, corny dance song? I hope he has better sense than that.

^I'm not sure if it's a cover or if it's a new song he's made with the same name? There's a little snippet of it on Nickybruel's channel.

Don't worry, I feel the same. Of course like you said we can't completely judge until the final songs are out, but...Listening through the snippets, they so sound very much his style of generic american songs (This could be a good or bad thing considering his songs and that style is quite popular over here, and knowing 2NE1 they're so badass they can make any song their own).
I don't think he really knows 2NE1's style or tries to incorporate their personalities into the songs as much as Teddy and YG does, and they're just being made to sing a song that's he's gone and created without much input from them. I could be wrong but that's how it kinda feels at the moment. But we'll see!

The one I do actually like the sound of is 'Love Lasts Forever'. I really hope as many of their old songs are there in English, too. :heart

Hm, all those snippets have the typical american will.i.am sound.
Pump Up The Jam has at least a sample of the old song in the chorus, don't like it much.
I actually hope he did incorporate the girls own style at least a bit in the full songs.

Trying not to fall sounds really good so far though!
AS LONG AS I GOT YOU sounds also pretty nice.

Not listening to them until official release but
by the looks of it they are not getting good reviews which means I'll like them lmao.

You're right, I'm sure they'll come out great considering how the girls are so awesome and are unique :heart and i do find love lasts forever the best sounding track so far. :yes

NINKI WEEKLY:

I hope NOLZA does really well, I'm rooting for them! :D

Only 5 more days. Can wait to hear Lonely in Japanese and have Hate You and Ugly.

Woohoo! My order for NOLZA CD+DVD Type A is currently in the shipping process! I originally wasn't going to order this mini album but I was tempted by the first press bonus, lol. I can't wait to have the MVs on DVD!

Here's a preview of the new Lonely PV and some pics:

omg guys what this http://www.j-mp3.info/2011/09/2ne1-cant-nobody.html ?
new album all of a sudden? I had no idea?

Hm, interesting, seems to be a digital album from iTunes Japan.
Thank you for posting!

So pretty awwe

The PV looks so pretty ~ <333333

I cant wait for the MV..it's gonna be so blue and beautiful >.<

Saw it yesterday. It's not worth downloading. All the "acapellas" are just the recorded vocals from the original songs. Same thing with this "live" CD on iTunes.

The new Lonely PV is so, so gorgeous. Minji looks amazing!

the PV seems like its going to be real pretty :heart

Ooooh! Lonely looks so pretty! I'm so happy they decided to do a new PV for this song!

New Japanese single will be released on 11/16!

CDJ:
CD+DVD Type A
CD+DVD Type B
CD Only

According to their official Japanese website, all three editions come with entry tickets to attend a meet & greet. I am unsure if this is the external bonus that CDJ is referring to as their first press bonus.

YesAsia also lists another Japanese single from Big Bang's GD & Top feat. Bom.

YA:
CD Only
CD+DVD

New song? As in, NEW new song, as in not-Japanese-version-of-an-already-existing-Korean-version song?

and the promo pic is already in trucks in japan
http://i53.tinypic.com/25iyb2q.jpg

finally im excited:heart i was tired of all the remakes <3

^thats the promo for their japanese single?!?!

And GD&TOP (from Big Bang) will do a remake of their song Oh Yeah. The song features Bom. :D

:yes I think it means what you just said.
:yatta

it looks like that!
dara with purple hair looks stunning <33

I love the promo pic :heart
and I hope it'll be a NEW new single as well!!

A picture of Kyarypamyupamyu with 2NE1 from her official Twitter page:

so tell me why is 2NE1 taking pics with japanese celebs ? I saw a photo of them with Momusu's Ai Takahashi not so long ago~

Excited! :heart

Aw such a cute picture.

WOW really excited about this new single!! :heart And Dara with purple hair! 8D :heart I was wondering is they would ever change it from Brown, LOL. She looks stunning. :)

And it says they've put 'Go Away' on there as the 2nd A-track! That's awesome to integrate some of their previous songs as they are beside new songs, too. :D

And is that....Cl with short cut rock chick hair I see? Please say it is. That would be SO badass. :heart

Yes!!! :vbhappy

Also, I LOVE Dara's purple hair!

I NEED....the concert. in my home now!

KYARY!!!!!!!!!!!!


new japanese single omg so amazing news!

Yay for concert footage! (and yay for Dara's hooded cape!)

Just downloaded NOLZA on a whim and SO GLAD I DID! I LOVE all the tracks!

Which ones are just re-recorded in japanese?

^All of them. :) They're all re-recorded in Japanese from their new Korean 2nd Mini Album that's just come out in Korea. Except NOLZA actually has 1 less track than the mini-album which is Bom's solo single 'Don't Cry'. :)

^^Do they have any other japanese tracks besides what's on NOLZA?

^ I think they've only released Can't Nobody and Go Away in Japanese, but supposedly they'll have a new single in November that will have a new song.

Totally looking forward to the first japanese single, just had the announcement on my E-Mail account today!

I really like HATE YOU and UGLY japanese versions.
They are a bit more versatile than other k-pop acts.

first 1:23 of the Japanese LONELY PV! :D

im liking this PV waaaay better than the korean one:heart omg, they all look so pretty

this MV is soo pretty!!! I feel the loneliness and atmosphere of this MV already. It's amazing how space can create such a feel

I know this is probably spamming ( I don't mean to) but I need to spread this around as much as I can. And I thought 2NE1 and Ayumi fans would help me. It's my audition for YG Entertianment >.< I made a cover of "Oh Yeah" by G-D and T.O.P. It's my first time singing/rapping in Korean so please can you help me : ( Thanks in advance!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBLB5qZCi4A

^omg I love your cover :heart It's awesome.


I like the Japanese MV for Lonely :yes

Well I like the Korean versions of their songs a bit more...You could really hear their accents in UGLY especially, but still I think it was a good effort & I really hope they make it in Japan.

EDIT: On second thought, I actually really like LONELY in Japanese. It sounds almost better than the Korean version! Don't ask me why but hearing it in Japanese it almost reminds me of my beloved Hikki.

I loved every song in Japanese, especially lonely and dont stop the music.

I was just looking for new fonts at dafont.com and I think I found the "Lonely" font:

http://www.dafont.com/sweet-confusion.font?text=lonely

:D Maybe some of you are interested.

^woah awesome!! downloading~~ thankyou !

the lonely PV is really nice :heart

kyary came to their concert so i guess thats why :laugh

Amazing cover, I love it! :heart I love how you made your own version, I'm going to have to sub you on Youtube. :D

Thank you for the font, Ayumihamasaki01! :heart

@noura oh yes, I forgot they had a concert ! :laugh

@kristel wow cool, thanks :D

omg japanese lonely pv is soooooo :heart:heart:heart

The new Lonely is beyond gorgeous. The Korean version has nothing on it.

Finally, Go Away in Japanese in HQ. Won't have to replay that crappy full one anymore.

Japanese Lonely full PV, just filmed though:

They're going to expand and expand. :laugh

i really love all of the songs in Japanese. the accent is obviously present, but i love hearing the songs in a different language, because it makes them sound alot more interesting imo. :yes

wow the booklet is amazing.


I wish to see it bigger size >.<

I really like NOLZA :yes It could have been a lot worse and I actually think their japanese is okay, at least I can recognize it as japanese :laugh
The only song I kinda dislike is Hate You and it's not even really dislike... it's just that whenever it comes on I wanna sing along in Korean but it's japanese :laugh That annoys me~
