The 5th 2NE1 Thread ~Nolza~

[elaniel]

I wanted to ask, does anyone have their Taiwan Version of their albums that come with the MV's? I just wanted to know the packaging that they came in and how they compared with the Korean releases of their albums.

The Taiwan versions have DVD's and I think that's a good bonus to get the music videos, but I don't want to get them if they are in inferior packaging/quality.

CL's unreleased English rap for Go Away. It's so badass
she performed it at the Nolza in Japan.

If this isn't in the english version of Go Away (if they make one) , I'm going to kill something.

Omg, this should've been released

[y_nathz]

Here's the performance clip of GO AWAY with only CL's english rap:




Here's the performance of the whole song with the ending of the concert clip:



I absolutely love it! It's all the more reason to buy the DVD. I was a bit on the fence about buying the DVD since I bought their Korean Tour DVD, but with this and their performance of some of their Japanese songs, it's a must have!

According to their official Japanese website, they have decided to push the release date of their upcoming single (which was supposed to be released the 29th of this month) forward to March 28th. In addition to the single, they will also be releasing their currently untitled first Japanese album on March 28th as well and it will come in 4 editions, one of which will be a HMV/Lawson exclusive. Also, Season 1 and 2 Boxsets of 2NE1 TV will be released on March 21st.

Here is the current available information on the tracklisting for each edition (Credit: YGLadies):

Although nothing is written in stone yet as the full tracklist hasn't been revealed, I personally don't believe that they'll include all of NOLZA in this album. Based on the information provided, it seems like they've already chosen the songs from previous releases that are going to be on the album (3 songs from "NOLZA" and both songs from their "GO AWAY" single in addition to the 3 new songs (2 which are remakes)) and the rest will probably be Japanese versions of their other Korean songs and songs from their upcoming single (I have a sneaking suspicion that the new songs they listed are going to be on that single). And after the controversy with "HATE YOU", I think it would be unwise for them to include it. But if they do happen to put all of "NOLZA" in the album, I will be severely pissed off.

I hope there are at least 4 original tracks

[ayu_ready?]

THEY ARE RELEASING THE ALBUM THE SAME DAY WITH BIG BANG JAPANESE ALBUM!!!

[y_nathz]

I just preordered the DVD! I'm going to preorder the CD+2DVD version of their upcoming album next week!

[bondingo]

ALL of their Korean videos? Damn, that's pretty cool. Too bad I just bought the CD+DVD of their 2nd mini. That CD+2DVD is looking pretty tempting though.

[Corvina]

Isn't that japanese album just a Best album?
CDJapan send me a note that it's a best.

[elaniel]

It's a best of their Korean tracks sung in Japanese along with a few bonus Japanese exclusive tracks.

[Corvina]

Yeah, but from all those reactions here, people seemed not to notice it's just a best.
I'm actually not that excited. They don't have to turn every korean song into japanese (sarcasm much).
The only interesting things are the goodies coming with it.

At the time when most of our posts were posted, information regarding this album being a "best" album was unavailable, so it wasn't that it went unnoticed. The album wasn't available for preorder on CDJ until a little while after information on their website became available and even when they put it up, the first description that they had never mentioned it was a best album until it was updated later. Just wanted to clarify, lol.

But anyways, I personally think that people are more excited about having all of their Korean MVs on DVD more than anything else (and the photobook). Although them remaking so many of their songs in Japanese doesn't bother me as much as it used to, I would have preferred for them to go the same route as other groups and only remake a few songs and then start making new, original music. But hopefully after this album is released, their future releases will be all new music.

[AyuHamasaki01]

So we will get new songs? Or just Korean tracks sung in Japanese?
