A representative from their agency PLANA Entertainment said, “Apink will release their 6th Japanese single ‘Summertime!’ on August 3rd.”
The up-tempo song ‘Summertime!’ is a song that further highlights Apink’s pure and lively charm.
It is Apink’s first summer season song with the theme of cheering.
The LIVE TOUR “PINK SUMMER” will be held in Sapporo on July 7th, followed by Tokyo on the 9th and 10th, Osaka on the 16th, Fukuoka on the 18th, and Nagoya on the 23rd.
There will be a corner where fans can communicate with the group and play a variety of hit songs in Korean and Japanese versions.
(From K-POP News)
The Japan LIVE TOUR "PINK SEASON" was a wonderful concert filled with cuteness and familiarity.
Apink arrived in Japan in 2014-2015, a time when hate speech was rampant and K-POP was facing its most difficult times.
Apink gained popularity thanks to the support of a loyal fanbase.
It can't be compared to the explosive popularity of KARA and Girls' Generation that came in 2010.
At that time, TV and newspapers featured the popularity of KARA and Girls' Generation almost every day, and not a day went by without seeing them or their performances on terrestrial TV.
Compared to that, Apink was certainly a lonely one.
Although they did make no appearances on TV, they only appeared in a few-minute spots at most.
However, large numbers of fans flocked to the venues for release events and concerts, and the stages were filled with heated excitement.
Only the most enthusiastic fans who respect Apink knew about it.
In fact, when Apink's arrival in Japan was reported in the news, many people said that they would not be as popular as Girls' Generation or KARA even if they came to Japan.
I was one of those who thought so, but when I went to their release events, I felt a kind of feverish atmosphere that reminded me of when KARA came to Japan.
It was just a vague feeling at the time, but after K-pop's popularity was revived, I watched those videos and realized that Apink had certainly come to Japan with that kind of energy.
The performances by Bomi, Eunji, Naeun, Chorong, Namjoo, Hayoung and others were youthful and full of energy.
This year's LIVE TOUR "PINK SUMMER" will start in Sapporo on July 7th, and will continue on the 9th and 10th in Tokyo, the 16th in Osaka, the 18th in Fukuoka, and the 23rd in Nagoya.
I think this year's PINK SUMMER will be even more exciting than last year's.
Watching Apink in Korea, they're not flashy, but their performances are always refreshing as they don't cut corners.
KARA and Girls' Generation gave performances in Japan that were more passionate.
In comparison, I felt that Apink's stage was a little plain, but now I think that this was probably because of the disparity in the popularity of K-pop.
KARA and Girls' Generation's stages were also poured with the passion of the public.
However, that was completely absent from Apink's performance.
It was the passion of Apink fans that was poured into them.
Has K-pop's popularity returned a little since then...?
Their PINK SUMMER will soon begin.
I'll wait with higher expectations than I did back then.
