The reason for the raising attention to CNBLUE? Not because they are idols, but musicians!
“We’re not idols, but musicians!”

CNBLUE has not made their official major debut in Japan, they were known as an indie band. But, they already had an execellent reputation even before they debut officially (on October 19th). They started to get Japanese fans’ attention by Jung Yonghwa who was casted in “You’re Beautiful”.

On Sept 25,  Tower Record Shibuya won’t hold the fans to buy CD even on early morning. CNBLUE last indie album “392” placed in visible place near the entrance floor. Tower Record’s staff commented about CNBLUE’s popularity  “These days, CNBLUE gained very high popularity in Japan. Their album always sold well”.  In Korean Magazine, CNBLUE is called “musicians“, a  “group that compete with their own music”. Of course, they received a lot of appreciation for composing their own songs in their albums.

CNBLUE who was proven popular with around 20,000 fans even before their official debut, will leave their indie activities, and move on to mainstream stage under Japan’s large music label, Warner Music Japan.
On Sept 25 afternoon, CNBLUE held a concert at Yokohama Arena. “Actually we feel nervous to do major debut, but from now we’ll start anew so that we are able to show you  our good performance”.
