CNBLUE Major Debut & Press Conference at Yokohama Arena

CNBLUE, a rock band of four members from Korea, will make their major debut in Japan with single “In My Head” on the 19th. Two years ago, they debuted as an indie band in Japan before their Korean debut. They carried out live tour at four cities in Japan successfully earlier this year, and have already gathered great popularity.

On September 25th, they held their last indie live concert at Yokohama Arena, with full house audience. At the press conference before the concert, they said “We are so glad to be able to make major debut. Making a new start, we’d like to try hard.”

In January 2010, they debuted in Korea. As a popular band, all of their song releases became hits the music charts. However, their starting point as a band was in Japan. In 2009, they came to Japan to have musical training *“knight-errant” (musya-syugyou) in Japan, where the band culture is rooted. They performed at clubs and on streets more than 100 times in a half year, and gained their skills. “We have pleasant memories in Yokohama, once we performed live outside of a super market,” they said with smiles.

“Our strong point is that we can play various types of music, like groovy songs and ballad songs. We will work as passionately as ever.” This confidence is backed up by their experience in Japan as well.

It has been announced that they will carry out another Japan national live tour in December. That gave a boost to their promise, “to meet the expectations, we will try a variety of music and develop our potential.”
