歌手IU最近獲得了日本唱片界集中性的青睞

日本方面繼少女時代和KARA之後開始競相引起南韓歌手，加上IU憑藉去年12月發表的“好日子”一躍成為歌壇大勢歌手，特別是IU出演的電視劇“Dream High”也將在日本放送，所以IU也成為了日本方面最為關注的受邀者。經紀公司Loen娛樂相關負責人透露，進入新年以來，收到了很多日本方面對於IU進軍日本市場的諮詢電話或者電子郵件。但同時也表示並沒有具體的計畫，說道：“有進軍日本的願望，但是不會急於行動，首先要鞏固國內的地位。”目前的情況是，IU最早也要在“Dream High”結束播出並進行後續曲活動時才有可能考慮進軍日本。

Singer IU is the latest K-pop star to receive competing love calls from Japanese record labels, who believe the teen starlet would be able to replicate the smashing success of fellow idol singers KARA and SNSD. In fact, Japanese entertainment companies have recently been scrambling to scoop up the hottest Korean stars – just look at the upcoming Japanese debuts of groups like B2ST, After School, SECRET, Teen Top, INFINITE, SHINee, MBLAQ, and T-ara.

It’s no surprise that she’s attracted the attention of Japanese labels, as she’s been nothing but popular since her “Good Day” comeback (the song, in retrospect, couldn’t have been named any better). But she’s become even more of a hot commodity because of her role in KBS’s hit drama, “Dream High“, which will be airing in Japan soon and is expected to garner high ratings.

Her management company said that they were “willing to consider a Japanese debut, but we’re in no hurry as we’d like to solidify our domestic position first.”

Perhaps after “Dream High” ends and she wraps up promotions for her repackaged album, “Real+“, IU will be in a better position to scope out a possible debut in the rapidly filling Japanese market.

Though she’s parted from her fans for a brief period, IU has finally returned through an MV teaser for “The Story Only I Didn’t Know” from her “REAL+” album.

Composed by the famous Yoonsang as a present for IU, the video for this nostalgic ballad track sees actress Park Bo Young alongside Yoonsang on the piano, while she sorrowfully narrates, “Maybe… On days like this, I feel like someone might come to find me.”

Loen Entertainment further commented, “This follow-up track is the first time IU will be attempting a song that has depressing emotions and a modern sound.”
