IZONE News and Discussion Thread

they're having a bunch of festivals concerts in Korea in August as well, so yeah, the possibilities of a Korean comeback in summer are not very high, although there was another article today saying they would come back in summer (i'm starting to think the comeback they're referring to is actually Buenos Aires)

 

Kang Hyewon and Choi Yena are the rappers.

 

No, none of them are full time rappers. Yena can rap, but she sings more than she raps. Hyewon came into pd48 having never rapped and kind of picked it up to distinguish herself, but I wouldn't really call her a "rapper". They also had Minju rapping in Violetta, so that role is kind of moving around.

 

IZ*ONE ARCADE EP.03 (190603)

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

After the first team evaluation in PD48 Hyewon became a rapper, Yena is listed as the rapper {though she does sing} and Minju had a rap part in Violeta although she is considered the visual and sub-vocalist

 

Wonyoung knee goes viral in japan lol

Well to me “full time” means they rap and pretty much do not sing. I don’t think Yena even raps in Violetta, so she’s not a “full time” rapper.

 

With Produce groups, I go off of their final position, official position and what they specialized in (what position they were) throughout the season, but we all see members positions a bit differently.

 

One of problem in Produce's debut groups is all of them don't have very good "full-time" rapper (although Park Woojin is good rapper but still couldn't beat JR :v ). Even, in PD48's case, all of "full-time" rappers went eliminated in first elimination

Also, tbh, rap position in IZ*ONE isn't necessary at all -especially for their Japanese single. The rap position is for Korean comeback -heck they might not use any rap for next cb ala G-Friend and Lovelyz. So, if you ask why Buenos Aires's rap part, well, we know how bad Aki-P wrote and distributed the rap part lol *cough*GreenFlash*cough*HighTension*cough*Keyakizaka's*cough*

 

three day concert starts in about 12 hours but people are already lining up for goods

Izone will make history in tokyo girls collection . They will be performing in the events of Toyama 7/27, tokyo 9/7 and kitakyushu 10/5. It is the first time for a group in TGC to perform in 3 consecutive venues. I want to see the girls modeling too.

-----
- Both Gokigen Sayonara and Neko ni Naritai were performed by ALL the members, not in units
- Minju played the piano in both Yume wo Miteiru Aida and Really Like You
- Colors was remixed, the first half was slow paced, kind of like a ballad version
- Sakura has long ash colored hair, Minju has pink hair, Yuri has green ends, Hitomi and Yujin are both blonde, Wonyoung has black hair
- during the second ment they sang some short phrases acapellla, and Nako did the Love Whisper high note she did in Produce48
- To Reach You, Rollin' Rollin', I AM and NEKKOYA were performed in short versions instead of the full versions
- They performed two new Korean song after VCR2. "So Curious" is a cutesy song, while "Ayayay" is a sexy/girl crush song
- VCR 3 is titled "Vampire Sisters"
- La Vie En Rose has a new remix, it sounds really different
- Rumor was fully performed for the first time
- Violeta was slightly remixed and a dance break was added between the second chorus and the bridge
- Up also had a new mix

 

Wait, are they playing a new song right now? Or is it a cover?

Edit: So the new songs are called "So Curious" and "Ayayaya"

 

grateful greeting to wizone from vlive, they look so happy https://www.vlive.tv/video/133338?channelCode=C1B7AF
i don't know how to comments about the hair color of minju and hitomi, it's too extreme especially for hiichan only dare to say yujin and nako match well with their new hair color

 

if the video does not show watch the video here


if the video does not show watch the video here

Ayayay

 

I agree about minju and tomi hair, i think if they make it a little soft, it'll perfect

Jeez they really went all out for this concert. It's a wonder how they crammed their practice time in their schedule. Kpop companies are notorious for overworking their talents, I hope they're still getting enough sleep and play time for themselves.

 

They are .... so colorful

 

Finally, Rollin' Rollin'!
