The girls of KARA participated in an interview after �FNS Kayousai� to talk about their feelings on being invited to Japan�s prestigious New Year�s Eve program �Kouhaku Uta Gassen�.
KARA�s leader, Gyuri, showed her respect, �I heard that it�s Japan�s greatest music program. I�m really happy, because we�ve had our eyes on it ever since we debuted in Japan.�
Hara added, �I�ve wanted to participate in it ever since we debuted in Japan. I want to have fun on stage together with everyone.�
The youngest member, Jiyoung, commented, �We�ll do our best so that more people in Japan know who we are. (Kouhaku) has been a goal of ours ever since we had our Japanese debut. People close to us are also really looking forward to it.�
Seungyeon was all smiles, �I hear that (Kouhaku) is Japan�s greatest music program, so it makes me nervous. But, I want to show everyone a flawless performance.� She even commented about another Korean singer who made her way onto Kouhaku, �I saw BoA-senpai�s performance as well.�
�We are representing Korea, so we�ll work hard with all of our might,� Nicole vowed, �I saw Kouhaku last year! I�ve always wanted to perform on it, so I�m really looking forward to this.�
Last August KARA debuted in Japan with their hit song �Mister� and the ever popular �Butt Dance�. They have overcome their �break-up crisis� and returned this past April with their single �Jet Coaster Love�. The track was a hit and was the first time a foreign female group has topped the charts at number one.
Seungyeon said, �When I look back at this year it feels like I was half in Japan and half in Korea. But, I am really happy to be able to get the chance to appear so much in both countries like this.�
So, what do the girls� look forward to when coming to Japan? Nicole didn�t hesitate to answer, �I look for new things to eat.� Jiyoung begged, �I want to eat hayashi rice (hashed meat with rice)!� The girls also take a Korean traditional �wonder drug� to help them get through their hard schedules.
Seungyeon explained, �We all take herbal medicine and exercise. Among Korean Ginseng there is Red Ginseng and it�s called �hong-sam�. I drink hong-sam juice.� Hara did some PR for the drink, �Hong-sam is great for your body.�
With their hard word, KARA has reached the achievement of performing on Kouhaku. But, they�re not satisfied with just that. Gyuri explained, �For our final goal, we have one big dream, and that is to have a concert at the Tokyo Dome.�
The girls sent a final message, �We will work even harder in 2012�, and with that the �KARA Whirlwind� will cross borders and is expected to get even bigger.
