F(x) Japanese Debut

Okay, don't get confused this is a k-pop blog speaking about a k-pop group. On the eastern side of the world, Japan is the music central, the place you wanna be. Most k-pop groups promote in Korea for about 3 years and then move to debut in Japan.
When promoting in Japan, the idols remake most of their Korean songs and promote those along with their original Japanese songs; sometimes they remake their Japanese song into Korean. Once debuted in Japan, they promote in both countries.
Even though they primarily promote in Korea and Japan, they also promote in other Asian and non-Asian countries (examples: US, China, and Thailand), singing their songs in its original language.

This year, after promoting Electric ShockF(x) made their Japan debut with a remake of their song Hot Summer. I like the Japanese version of the song, but there are major differences in the two versions. In the Korean version they look young, the vibe is very energetic, and the outfits and background are lively. But, in the Japanese version they seem a bit more mature and cool. Which makes the Jap. version seem like it  is missing the energy that the Korean version has. But in the loss there is a gain, the girls do seem a bit more comfortable in front of the camera, maybe that explains their attitudes.


PS. I am still deciding on which veteran boy group I introduce next, please be patient! ^_^
