<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;It&#8217;s really as if addressing a truly classic song with a beautiful melody, just simply touch a song like this feels great,&#8221; said Shiho Ochi, best known for his legion of fans as the soul diva J-pop Superfly , as we chat in his record company office in Tokyo.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Released this week her 19th single &#8211; Wildflower -, is backed with a 15-track CD covers, compiled versions of the secular soul and rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll songs that were included in B singles chart above (usually in the form the third lane) or recorded live. Due to the inclusion of this second disc, the single will be counted by the Japanese as a compiler Oricon album, and is almost guaranteed to follow her eponymous debut in 2008 and 2009 &#8220;Emotions Box&#8221; at the No. 1 spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perfectly echoing his 1960-70 and music style, the 26-year giggly fashion flower child has helped fuel a renewed ethnic dresses and headbands hippyish one piece, a short walk around Tokyo Shibuya district youth testify. Her own clothing line, Cosmic market (produced in collaboration with the fashion brand AIC), has cemented its position as one of Ochi trendsetters most modest of modern music. But it&#8217;s her powerful voice and stunning vocal range have earned the respect Superfly critics and fans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ochi grew up in Ehime Prefecture in northwestern Shikoku, surrounded by mountains, greenery and the croaking frogs, whose cries were so loud they kept her awake at night.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Surprisingly, it is not the buff that roots music fans can expect, at least it was not originally. She said she grew up listening to &#8220;normal&#8221; Japanese pop music, it was his musical collaborator, Koichi Tabo, whose obsession with the shape of his Superfly. Ochi Two years of senior management and a friend&#8217;s music club they both attended when they were in the nearby universities, making compilations Tabo was a total fanatic, MD of the soul of the West by excellence and rock songs of the era-18-year Ochi has changed the way she thought about music and its place within it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Just listen to the MiniDisc, I grew to love the music, until he reached the point where I went out and buy these artists albums to me,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to the club, Ochi and Tabo started playing music together, and Ochi noted that the covers they played songs from artists like The Rolling Stones, Madonna and her heroine named Janis Joplin suited her powerful voice to better than run-of-l&#8217;usine-J-pop.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;My voice has always been high, but originally I could not sing very low scores,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I find it frustrating. But when I was 18 or 19, I tried to sing a song by the (Rolling) Stones and I realized that I loved singing the old classics. Then I discovered Aretha (Franklin) and soul, and I tried really hard to sing with them. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By the mid noughties, the young Superfly &#8211; Ochi and Tabo &#8211; sent a demo CD of their own songs to different labels, major label Warner Music Japan asked for more, and the duo have to, but it soon became clear that nothing is going to happen as they were based in Ehime, causing movement to the lights of Tokyo and possibly a home at Warner. Simple began flowing in 2007.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Later this year, Tabo left the group as an official member and became simply the songwriter, ostensibly leaving Ochi as solo artists. She said it was his desire all along, and had to force him to share the limelight with her in the first place.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Tabo is not the kind of person who likes to be in the public eye,&#8221; she said with a laugh. &#8220;He does not play shows, he is happier behind the scenes.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In just three years, has sold over a million albums Superfly &#8211; excluding sales of the new version this week, which are likely to increase considerably. But Ochi remains humble, attributing his success to the efforts of management and staff about her label. (The staff of Warner returned the compliment when Ochi is out of earshot, calling it an exceptionally hard worker.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As with most acts of J-pop songs Superfly placement in TV shows, movies and commercials have been crucial to its success public. The four tracks on the new single and two of the album covers were allowed to.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Wildflower&#8221; is the theme song from &#8220;Gold&#8221;, a drama on Fuji Television sporting ambitions of the mother and daughter with his eyes fixed on the final cost of monitoring and field: a gold medal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;They are terribly stoic and spartan in their attempts, Ochi said the main characters of the show.&#8221; I really wanted to write a song with the same kind of force behind him. The image I had in mind when I wrote the melody was a flower in a barren land fiercely. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The B-Sides see action too. &#8220;Tamashii Revolution&#8221; gained heavy exposure as the theme song for NHK&#8217;s coverage of the World Cup television &#8220;Roll Over The Rainbow&#8221; was used for a summer event created by Fuji Television, and &#8220;Free Planet&#8221;, an up-tempo hard rock song (even though much has produced one), an advertisement appeared in Sony-Ericsson mobile phone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although offered as a bonus disc and composed primarily of previously unreleased tracks, the album covers a lot of meat for newcomers Superfly. Ochi favorite track on the album is the song popular 17th century British &#8220;The Water Is Wide&#8221; (his version is based on that released by Los Angeles singer-songwriter Karla Bonoff 1979), whose mere mention of melody pushed to focus on getting the perfect shot. With a laugh, she admits that her live cover of The Eagles &#8220;Desperado&#8221; could have run better. Conspicuous by its absence is a cover of Curtis Mayfield&#8217;s blaxploitation anthem antihero do-or-die &#8220;Superfly&#8221; &#8211; a song which exclaims Ochi would be &#8220;too difficult&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;This is a very high barrier!&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m heavily influenced by this song, of course, but I&#8217;m not ready to try to sing again. Curtis Mayfield had a powerful voice. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is modesty. One of the most impressive is the album&#8217;s take on the woman Aretha Franklin &#8220;Natural,&#8221; which also appeared in the film was the sinking of the &#8220;Tokyo-jima. Franklin had a wide vocal range, there are certainly not many people who could do that song justice does Ochi here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She sings these covers quite convincingly in English &#8211; but, surprisingly, Ochi said she does not speak the language at all, instead of learning each song by ear and does its best to match the accent. &#8220;I never know how I do with the pronunciation, she admits, the words of Superfly, which Ochi written in Japanese.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yet she has made small steps towards the West. On the sensual 2007 single &#8220;I Spy I Spy&#8221;, was supported by Australian band Jet garage-rock. And in 2008, the love for Janis Joplin Ochi paid great moment of music on Japanese television! before had a show of travelogue called &#8220;next steps Janis,&#8221; in which she visited the old queen of the blues-rock San Francisco haunts and interviewed Andrew Sat Joplin once the band Big Brother and the Holding Company .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Since he knew I was a singer, he suggested I play a song for him, I did. And then he told me there would be a festival called Heroes of Woodstock in 12 months and asked me if I want to perform (Big Brother). I thought he was joking, but sure enough, a year later the invitation came. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ochi sang two Joplin cover (&#8220;Down on Me&#8221; and &#8220;Piece of My Heart&#8221;) with Big Brother on the New York State site of the original 1969 case, for an appreciative audience unfamiliar to most of older Americans &#8211; again with the cameras rolling on the music! TV.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;I was terribly nervous,&#8221; she admits. &#8220;I do not think I&#8217;ve never been so nervous in my life. If I had been doing my own music at the party, he would have been different, but the songs of Janis Joplin is so famous, and she Woodstock even such a prestigious event, so I felt really upset. When the audience applauded at the end, I cried. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It may seem ridiculous for a pro like Ochi more to worry about playing for an audience of nostalgic forgiving, as opposed to teenagers criticism. After all, she played a sold-out show at the 10,000 capacity Budokan, and even that did not impress her much, her ambition is to sing the 50,000-seat Tokyo Dome. But she does worry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Even if my songs had already been No. 1 in Japan, none of this mattered, and before the show, nothing seemed lucid,&#8221; she says of her show in Woodstock. &#8220;But when it came time to sing in front of all these people who had no idea who was Superfly, I suddenly started thinking about the support of all my Japanese fans, who gave me the confidence to to do my best. &#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As it is, at best Shiho Ochi is damn good. It transcends the main trends to make songs hits decidedly retro Hark to a long period before his birth. Determined to push her incredible voice still further, it bears all the heart and soul of the character of the song from which it took its name, we are eager to see No. 1 again when the cards are announced Wednesday.</p>

<div id="attachment_2419" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 246px"><a href="http://www.ant-network.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Takashi-Murakami-versailles.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2419" title="Takashi Murakami versailles" src="http://www.ant-network.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Takashi-Murakami-versailles-236x300.jpg" alt="My Lonesome Cowbo by Takashi Murakami" width="236" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My Lonesome Cowbo by Takashi Murakami</p></div>
</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The Japanese pop artist -<strong> Takashi Murakami</strong> &#8211; known for his manga and anime-inspired art, will exhibit sculptures at Versailles, the apartments that once housed the kings and queens of France, from September 14 to December 12 . traditionalist groups protested against the exhibition, citing recent works such as Murakami&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;My Lonesome Cowboy&#8221;</strong> and <strong>&#8220;Hiropon&#8221;</strong> as proof that Murakami&#8217;s works &#8220;have no place in the royal apartments.&#8221;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;My Lonesome Cowboy&#8221; depicts a young man, using semen as a lasso, and &#8220;Hiropon&#8221; depicts a young woman using milk as a skipping rope. Neither is listed sculpture to display at the exhibition. Among the sculptures will be exhibited are &#8220;Flower Matango&#8221; (photo above) and &#8220;Tongari-kun&#8221;.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The exhibition is part of a series of <strong>modern artists at Versailles.</strong> Jean-Jacques Aillagon, museum director, explains that the gap between location and exposure is intentional, with the aim of exposing visitors to Versailles traditional art they might not see otherwise, and introduce modern art lovers a place where they might not otherwise visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">An organization called Versailles Defence Coordination (Coordination Defense Versailles) has collected 4,387 signatures against the exhibition, according to the official website of the organization at the time of writing. The group&#8217;s leader, Arnaud Upinsky, called the show &#8220;illegal&#8221;, even if Aillagon said that the work has been carefully chosen &#8220;to be readable by everyone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">This month, Murakami art directed a magazine cover featuring Britney Spears. Manga creator Seiji Matsuyama later revealed that the photoshoot was an indirect protest against the bill fails, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to restrict the sexual representations &#8220;Youth does not exist.&#8221; Vice Governor Naoki Inose showed Matsuyama Okusama wa Shōgakusei manga television as an example of what should be limited manga. Murakami then asked Matsuyama via Twitter about using art to inspire his Matsuyama photoshoot magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Murakami has acknowledged the influence of anime, manga, and otaku culture on his art and himself directed several animated projects. In 2008, Murakami has been named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine. Murakami has collaborated with Louis Vuitton to design a print for her handbag line, and with the rapper Kanye West to design an album of cover and run a video clip. In 2009, Murakami has created a music video titled &#8220;Akihabara Majokko Princess&#8221;, directed by McG Terminator Salvation director and starring actress Kirsten Dunst.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Museum Kunsthallen Brandts&#8217; media in the Danish city of Odense is holding an exhibition of erotic manga encourage &#8220;debate&#8221; on the power of media and a proposal to ban sexual depictions of children&#8217;s fiction. The demonstrators were to prohibit the exhibition last week.</div>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>KT Corp</strong>. has unveiled the first tablet PCs running on the Android operating system in Korea, on Monday. KT presented the 7-inch Tab identity made by a mid-sized manufacturer of equipment Enspert. It will be officially launched on September 10.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The announcement comes shortly before the release of <strong>Samsung Electronics</strong> to its Tablet PC Tab called Galaxy, which is scheduled to take place in the global electronic display event in Germany this week. KT rival SK Telecom plans to release the Samsung in September.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Samsung rival LG Electronics is preparing to launch its own model in a joint effort with LG Uplus and global giant Apple Inc. also intends to publish its iPad is already very popular in the local market later this year.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;(The Identity tab) is a product that combines the advantages of a PC, portable e-book devices, smartphones and gaming devices,&#8221; said Enspert CEO of Lee Chang-seok during a news conference. &#8220;It is specialized in multimedia content.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">App Store KT will be renovated in October for people to use mobile applications for Android to their new Tablet PC, according to officials of AC.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The newly designed tablet PC, however, it lacks features compared to its competitors&#8217; products.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The new Tablet PC will not be able to use the 3G network, which means he will have difficulty trying to get a wireless connection outside of WiBro and Wi-Fi zones. voice call services will be unavailable because he is not equipped with mVoIP, voice or mobile internet protocol function.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">They added that consumers are provided with an egg &#8211; a device that converts analog signals into WiBro Wi-Fi Internet connection more transparent &#8211; if they sign a contract for the use of KT WiBro (Wireless Broadband Internet ) for two years.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">According to data from International Data Corporation, the global media market tablet PC is expected to spend six times by 2014. The market research company also predicted earlier in May that worldwide shipments of compressed media will grow to over 46 million units in 2014 from 7.6 million units in 2010.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">In an exemplary case, Apple has sold 3 million iPad within 80 days of its release in April.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ant-network.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/HARMONY-Novels-English-eBooks.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2413" title="HARMONY Novels English eBooks" src="http://www.ant-network.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/HARMONY-Novels-English-eBooks-197x300.jpg" alt="HARMONY Novel English eBook" width="197" height="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Translations into <strong>English e-books</strong> of classic and modern Japanese science fiction novels are available for <strong>IPAD</strong> and <strong>iPhone</strong>, the site Haikasoru announced.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>

The e-book versions of his novels translated are sold through the Apple Store for downloading iPad and iPhones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The English paper books are sold in the United States, Canada and Great Britain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Haikasoru publish more titles translated by e-books in the future. Since then popular Japanese novels have been translated into English, these digital versions undoubtedly attract attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Viz Media established Haikasoru division to focus on the translation of science fiction. It aims to make high quality Japanese science fiction titles, classics to works of authors coming and going at the disposal of readers in the United States.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">For some Japanese science fiction works are known abroad, their publication has prompted several Haikasoru stage, like &#8220;All You Need Is Kill&#8221; by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. In April, Warner Bros. paid approximately $ 3 million (255 million yen) for a film script based on the novel and plans to make a Hollywood movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Overseas, the Japanese media content is largely regarded as anime, manga and computer games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">But now that the science fiction novels in Japan are being translated into English, the kind of high quality and the potential that the contents will become clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The e-books published by Haikasoru should reach a wider audience, expanding the possibilities even further.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste"><a href="http://www.ant-network.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/E-reading-digital.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2408" title="E-reading digital" src="http://www.ant-network.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/E-reading-digital-265x300.png" alt="E-reading digital book" width="265" height="300" /></a></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>E-reading</strong>, the marriage of a <strong>U.S</strong>. technology company and a <strong>Taiwanese </strong>manufacturer of display panel has contributed to making the digital reading of a potential challenger for the paper as the primary means of transmitting printed information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Four years ago Cambridge, Mass-based E Ink Corporation and Taiwan&#8217;s Prime View International Co. to create a linked e-paper screen, which today supplies 90% of the market&#8217;s rapid growth e-reader.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Taiwan&#8217;s participation has led some observers to compare the e-reading technology to the Chinese revolution 2,000 years ago in which newly invented paper replaced the bulky wooden blocks and strips of bamboo on which Chinese characters were written.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">But questions remain about the risk Taiwanese-American, including the preparation of the contract to waive the reading on paper, for the relative neglect of e-readers.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;This is cockamamie to think like a product that will revolutionize the way most people read,&#8221; analyst Michael Norris of Rockville, Maryland research firm Simba Information Co said in an e-mail. Americans use e-books at a rate &#8220;much, much slower than it looks.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Another challenge for business is the ability of key customers like Amazon and Sony to withstand the onslaught of computing devices that are multifunctional e-reader capabilities, particularly Apple iPad, including five months of sales of History has left one-dimensional models are struggling to keep up.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Institute researcher Chris Hung Taiwan for Information Industry said that sales are expected to reach 9 iPad million this year, a figure that has made e-books two years to achieve.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">However, manufacturers dedicated e-readers seem to have much to be happy, at least for the moment. Sales in 2010-four years after the first devices hit the market will likely reach 10 million units, according to Austin, Texas-based research firm Display Search, against the four million copies sold in 2009.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">And with prices e-reader in a steep descent, down from $ 300 to $ 100 in 2011 to a six-inch model seems a likely response to the challenge-IPAD volumes could grow more rapidly, especially in color and other displays designed paper placed on the market to increase the existing monochrome version based glass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Kyle Mizokami, a freelance writer of 39 years in San Francisco, two dozen books over the last year its Amazon Kindle the market, and has himself an avid e-reader.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Having a Kindle actually increased my reading,&#8221; he wrote in an e-mail. &#8220;This is the reading without distraction, and I find it equally enjoyable, if not more, than reading the actual books.&#8221;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Scott Liu, Chairman of the company in the United States to Taiwan, now known as E Ink Holdings, is optimistic about the future of e-reader, which reflects not only his confidence in the willingness of market to adopt e-readers in general, but also in our customers&#8217; ability to exclude competition IPAD.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">The display module Liu company churns out is deceptively simple. It is produced by fixing a section of glass at the rear of a panel, a thin film product E Ink of millions of tiny microcapsules, each containing positively and negatively charged particles suspended in a clear liquid show white spots and black. Processor and other chips are then attached to the panels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;People read on digital paper just as traditional paper-reading, using natural light in the environment,&#8221; Liu told The Associated Press. &#8220;In five years we have seen a major shift in reading habits, with more people moving to the electronic reading.&#8221;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">As for the competition, he said, the LCD panel displays the IPAD is vulnerable because it depends on backlight source causing eyestrain.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">IPAD is fascinating &#8230; a general-purpose device, &#8220;he said. &#8220;But it is not built for playing for long hours.&#8221;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">However, many consumers seem to read e-opt for cell phones or Tablet PC as IPAD because their billboards LCD color more complete and can play both games and surf the Internet the capabilities of electronics dedicated players lack.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">researcher acknowledges that Taiwan Hung, but says the market seems to be big enough for both types of products.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;We can not finish Harry Potter IPAD, while the comics do not look so good on e-readers,&#8221; he said, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of two competing devices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Liu said E Ink Holdings is aware of the LCD competition, and plans to introduce a limited color e-paper display later this year, with a more comprehensive set out &#8220;in a few years.&#8221;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">He said that E Ink has also unveiled a prototype screen-based soft plastic that is &#8220;ideal for children to use&#8221; due to its resistance to breakage. But he said production costs are too high to bring the product on the market, and has not provided a release date.</div>

<h2>K-Pop Goes Global</h2>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Dong Young-bae as a child, used to hide from his parents to dance tapes of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. He said he was too shy to tell anyone that he wanted to become a famous singer and dancer. No more. Today, the singer 22-year-old South Korean and dancer known Taeyang is honored as a pop star. Thank you in large part to a long-standing trend in Asia, which makes everything cool Korean Taeyang is going global, said riding the wave all the way into West.</div>
<div></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Taeyang, who is better known in South Korea as the voice of Korean boy band Big Bang has released his first solo album, solar, online last month. He hit No. 2 on iTunes R &amp; B charts for sale in the U.S. and No. 1 in Canada &#8211; a first for an Asian artist. &#8220;At first it was hard to believe that fans had to buy my album so far,&#8221; said Taeyang, whose name means &#8220;sun&#8221; in Korean. He said he did not do any promotion in North America for the album, which was recorded in the Korean fans and targeted in South Korea and Japan. &#8220;The world is smaller now.&#8221;</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">For many artists in the industry of Korea&#8217;s booming music, social media like YouTube and Twitter have become essential tools to reach audiences in markets previously inaccessible, such as the U.S. and Europe . Korean artists are bypassing traditional outlets like radio and television, &#8220;aggressive driving forces abroad via the Internet,&#8221; says Bernie Cho, president of DFSB Kollective, a Seoul-based agency specializing in international marketing of pop acts Korean. &#8220;Social-media-savvy K-pop stars are now tweeting, Facebooking and YouTubing their way up music charts throughout Asia and beyond.&#8221;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">It works: allkpop.com, an English-language, United States Blog Korean pop that meets international fans, generate more Web traffic than any Korean music portals in South Korea. &#8220;Korean Artists are there now,&#8221; Johnny says Noh, who manages the site. &#8220;People like [Korean artists] and want to learn more about them.&#8221; Readers a month&#8217;s blog has more than doubled in the last year from 1 million in 2009 to 2,200,000 today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">DFSB Kollective was the first company to begin distribution of actions of the Korean music on iTunes, in 2009. He started with more than 50 Korean artists in the alternative, hip-hop and electronica genres, now there are hundreds of Korean artists available in the online music store. Within hours of the release of iTunes on August 25, Solar International, an enhanced version of the album Taeyang which includes English versions of her singles, the album reached No. 3 in Japan, No. 5 in Canada , No. 11 in the U.S. and No. 15 in Australia on R &amp; B / Soul album chart. It will hit music stores on the ground in the United States and Canada later, although no release date has been set for the Asian markets. This is the first time an album of South Korea has been promoted to offshore online exclusively through social groups and the media, according to YG Entertainment, Korean Taeyang R &amp; B and the hip-hop label.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">People in the Korean music industry are watching and learning. YG Entertainment plans to release the debut album of girl group 2NE1 offshore and online. The group became famous after the release of the single &#8220;Lollipop&#8221; with Big Bang, which was presented in a campaign ad LG phone last year. Since then, the international exhibition 2NE1 &#8211; especially the U.S. &#8211; has grown. Black Eyed Peas&#8217; will.i.am producer saw one of their videos and immediately wanted to work with them, &#8220;said Choi Sung-jun, director of operations at YG Entertainment. They worked for two months in Los Angeles and London.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">K-pop buzz online has become a way for artists to make a name for themselves at home. Kim Yeo-hee, 22, became a star of YouTube in March when she has posted three videos under the name Apple Girl. In his first movie, Kim has played music with the Apple iPhone applications and sang four of Beyoncé &#8220;Irreplaceable&#8221;. Two days later, his name became the most searched word in all major Korean search engines. In May, Kim released her first mini-digital album. She is currently preparing one for release in September. Kim, who went from making music on the iPhone to sell its own music on iTunes in less than six months, said: &#8220;I wanted to be the Korean version of Justin Bieber. But I never imagined so many people might be interested in what I do. &#8220;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: justify;">Of course, once your face is known abroad, you always have control of your image. The recent days of this month, Taeyang was working tirelessly to YG workshop in Seoul to prepare for its next concert may be broadcast live on YouTube. The young celebrity massage his shoulder, yawning, with bags under his eyes, looked through the photos that appear on his new album. He frowned at a photo of himself in which his beard had been carefully Photoshopped OUT. &#8220;Call of the printer and tell them to change the image,&#8221; said the designer. He gestured to the photo of his face clean shaven numerically. &#8220;I want to watch a little hard,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In the U.S., that way they&#8217;ll think I&#8217;m too nice.&#8221; *** source: http://www.time.com</div>
