As the Kara incident keeps getting prolonged, many large Japanese companies are starting to take sides.
The producer of NHK, Ishihara Shin, said, "Japanese run on music companies, and Koreans run on entertainment companies. If Korean singers want to do well in Japan, they need to understand that difference. Japanese fans are starting to view Korean entertainment companies as a bother."
A veteran writer Matsumoto Yoshiko said, "I think it was better when the parents were not involved. If the three Kara girls leave, the company might be annoyed for a bit. But the pool of applicants who want the spot is huge. There are many new idols that can take their place. None of the five girls will profit from the three girls leaving. It's like cutting the stomach of the goose that lays golden eggs."
As of now, Universal Music has yet to speak up on the issue.
CR: Koreaboo.
Of course tons of girls would want to "take" their place. Not that I'm thinking that would happen, would they be successful is the question. KARA is so much about the members of the group, the girls that make up KARA.
