Korean pop group Wonder Girls have released a Mandarin version of their hit song Nobody (audio only, MV to be embedded once available)…
The pop group which undergone a member reshuffle last month, is set to release their first Mandarin album on February 12. The album will consist mostly Chinese version of their Korean hit songs, i.e. Nobody, So Hot and Tell Me etc.
Their Chinese sounds more natural than their English; and they should find that it’s much easier to penetrate the Chinese market as compared to the US. The girls are also set to release their full English album in April.
Beckii Cruel, a 14-year-old British who rose to internet fame in Japan dancing to J-pop and anime songs in her videos, is forming a girls group Beckii Cruel feat. Cruel Angels and set to release their debut Japanese CD in February.

Music video of Oh! by Korean pop group Girls’ Generation, title track of their second full length album which has just been released…
Cute video, but boring song. The Koreans seem to like it though; the lyrics obviously hit the right spot (girls’ love confession to guys) among the male fans as the album is selling like hot cakes and set to top every major music charts.
And the badass look at the end of the video… it’s said to be a teaser for their next promotional track, which actually seems a bit more promising image wise.
