[POLL] Battle of Pop - Boys vs Girls

Yes, ChannelV is holding, yet another, poll that has DBSK in it. This time it's boys vs girls!! You can see the poll by clicking -->here<-- This time it involves some American musical artists too!!


Note from Kousei (Raven): Yeah... sorry, really really short, not much info, but I'm tired. I think they got smart about who they put on the side with DBSK. Super Junior is on the opposite side and there is no Big Bang in this one. Sad, I was looking forward to a better set up with DBSK, Super Junior, and Big Bang all on one side. Hopefully this doesn't cause a ton of drama, like the last poll did. Anyhow I'll probably read up on thi s when I wake up and edit this post with more info so you can all read what's happening. Please be paitient until then!!

Battle of Pop - Asia vs Asia

The Battle of Pop - Asia vs Asia is finally over. It created a bit of drama since the setup for it wasn't the best. In my (Kousei, Ayame a.k.a. Raven) opinion they shouldn't have made Big Bang and Tohoshinki go at it from the start, that was just a drama match waiting to happen. Most of the drama started once Big Bang lost and Tohoshinki had to go up against Super Junior. V.I.P. (Big Bang's official fan-club) were upset that they (Big Bang) lost, so they teamed up with E.L.F. (Super Junior's official fan-club) when Super Junior went against Tohoshinki. (Not sure if it's actually true that they teamed up, that might be a rumor, but judging from the gap, it might be true.)
Tohoshinki DID make it to the third round though, so congratulations to them.

[VOTE] Japan's 50th Record Award - EDIT!

Hmm ... I have decided to remove the request to vote for the song on a Japanese poll, on the basis of a request. Japanese do not like it if foreigners vote on their polls and Casiopeia has agreed not to interfer with ANY Japanese polls in the future.

So lets just let it be and see what the outcome is based on how the Japanese vote :) So no more voting, okay? Thanks guys for your deep love and support for the boys! But I guess we need to let things play as they are ^^

Also, it seems this was just an opinion poll. I recieved this link from other fan sources (it was posted in several different places) and I hadn't forseen what harm it could have done. Sorry for the inconvience this may have caused. We will be more vigilent on our "voting" posts next time! It makes me happy though that we all care so much about the boys to vote and make an impact...but for Japanese polls, we all must practice restraint (yes, restraint! lol) and know we have the power to but CHOOSE not to. I guess part of "what the big deal" is the difference in culture which international fans are not used to. In Korea, its expected that fans keep voting for their favourite band (or otherwise, the polls put restrictions on the number), while in Japan maybe it is expected that only Japanese would vote and vote only once (?).


READ THE MESSAGE BY BIGEAST JAPANESE FANCLUB
(from JpopMusic forums)

A message from BigEast.

About the matter of Japanese online polls.
During the last weeks there have been some cases when foreign fans have attempted to make a difference in some Japanese online polls.
We understand that you want to support Tohoshinki, but please also note that the Japanese will not look at it the same way, but will see the mass voting as manipulating the results. This has already led to some negative reactions towards Tohoshinki's fans.
We do not wish for the negative publicity, because it will also hurt Tohoshinki.

The online polls and surveys are not any kind of popularity races between the participants, but the netizens vote once and in context to what is asked. The flood of several thousand votes from other countries (when the foreign voters often only choose their favourite artist and do not entirely understand what they are voting for), is unfair towards the other participants and also makes the poll/survey useless.

Most of the Japanese online polls do not have a direct impact in anything, being mostly "for fun", but they're indeed used to measure the general opinions in Japan.

As much as we know that you want to support Tohoshinki, this may not be the best way because it's putting not only us BigEast but also Tohoshinki at disadvantage in public eye.

Thank you.

[POLL] DBSK's Jaejoong #8 in Japan's Top 20 'Most Wanted Lovers'

Hero Jaejoong of the Korean boyband DBSK, better known as Tohoshinki in Japan, made it on the Top 10 list of "Most Wanted Lover" by Japanese females. It is a feat considering DBSK has been active in the country for only a year.

Jaejoong was the only foreigner on the list amid popular native Japanese idol stars and singers, many part of Johnny's Entertainment that dominates the boyband Jpop scene.

Earlier this year, Jaejoong had been voted #1 as "Asia's Most Beautiful Man" on a Chinese website.
