Plenty of image-based Korean boybands have debuted, and so far, none of them have succeeded without an extra something.
Please, Mr. Johnny. Just stick to Japan.

I agree, JE's bands tend to look great (besides KAT-TUN guys, as they're plain ugly XD no offense to their fans), and I wouldn't even try NEWS's music if I haven't noticed how good looking they are. Sure they ocassionally make a song i can listen to. It's hard for non-korean artists to gain huge success in korea, although there are exceptions (sweetbox's BEST OF was #1 2 years in a row and she sold more than 200k copies), but arashi is far from there. Even people like Hikki, Ayu, Madonna who are way more famous (outside Japan) tend to sell less than 2k in a month there. JE should quit making music and start making gay porn ^^ (and please let NEWS be the first to do it XD) jk ^^
