Book Novotel Hotel Japan exports decline for sixth consecutive month Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Japan’s exports have fallen for a sixth straight month, underlining the issues faced by the incoming government set to take charge in the coming days. Shipments fell 4.1% in November, from a year earlier. Exports to China declined 14.5% and to the European Union by 20%. Sales to China have been hit by a territorial dispute, while continuing debt issues in the European Union have hurt exports to the region’s economies. Exports are a key driver of Japan’s economic growth. A continued slowdown in the sector would hurt the government’s attempts to revive growth in the world’s third-largest economy. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 Turnaround? However, there are hopes that the sector may see a turnaround in the coming months, not least because of the measures promised by Shinzo Abe who is set to be the country’s new prime minister. Mr Abe, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, which won Japan’s general elections earlier this week, has said that he will implement measures aimed at weakening the Japanese currency, the yen. The strength of the yen has been one of the key issues faced by the country’s exporters in recent times. A strong yen not only makes their goods more expensive to foreign buyers but also hurts their profits when they repatriate their overseas earnings back home. The Japanese currency rose almost 6% against the US dollar between April 2011 and November 2012. However, after Mr Abe promised to take steps to weaken the currency, it has dipped, falling almost 6% since November. It hit a 20-month low of 84.48 yen against the US dollar earlier this week after exit polls indicated a win for Mr Abe. It was trading close to 84.35 yen against the US dollar in Asian trade on Wednesday. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Analysts said the Japanese currency was likely to remain at a similar level in the near term, which they said would help provide a much needed boost to exporters. “There is trend for the currency to remain weak for the next few months,” said Martin Schulz of Fujitsu Research Institute in Tokyo. “This should help the exporters gain some of the ground they have lost to regional competitors.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Japan exports continue to recover on a weak yen

Book Novotel Hotel Japan exports continue to recover on a weak yen Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Japanese exports continue to recover, rising for a fourth month in a row in June, boosted by a weak yen and a revival in demand from Europe. Exports rose 7.4% from a year earlier. Sales to the European Union (EU) rose by 8.6% – the first jump in 21 months. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 The Japanese yen has weakened 25% against the US dollar since November last year after a series of aggressive policy moves by Japan. A weak currency makes Japanese goods cheaper for foreign buyers. “This is clear evidence that the weakness of the Japanese currency has helped Japan’s exports,” Martin Schulz of Fujitsu Research Institute told the BBC. “The export environment in Asia is very challenging and the fact that Japan has seen growth for four straight months is a positive sign,” he added. Meanwhile, imports rose 11.8% from a year ago, resulting in a trade deficit of 180.8bn yen ($1.8bn; £ 1.2bn). Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s China factor However, the pace of growth of exports was less than the 10% rise that many analysts had expected. That was in part due a decline in export growth to China – Japan’s biggest trading partner. Shipments to China rose 4.8% in June, from a year earlier, compared to 8.3% in May. This comes amid slowing growth in the world’s second-largest economy. China’s economy grew at an annual rate of 7.5% in the April to June period, down from 7.7% in the January to March quarter, and there are fears that its growth rate may dip further in the coming months. Analysts said any such move may hurt Japan’s exports to the country. “Overall, the picture isn’t that strong,” said Yasuo Yamamoto, senior economist at Mizuho Research Institute. “China’s slowdown is starting to become more dangerous.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Japan exports growth fuels recovery hopes

Book Novotel Hotel Japan exports growth fuels recovery hopes Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo Japanese exports showed a surprise rise in July, reigniting hopes of growth for the world’s third largest economy. Exports rose 3.9% when compared to one year ago, helped by higher shipments of cars and electric machinery. It is the first increase in three months. Imports rose 2.3% in the same month, led by rising demand for oil and gas after the Fukushima disaster in 2011 led to a shutdown of nuclear reactors. The government has pinned hopes of growth on an export-led recovery. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 Japan’s trade deficit widened to 964 billion yen ($9.4bn; £5.6bn) in July, compared to a deficit of 822bn yen in June. Analysts are hoping the export recovery will help offset a slump in domestic demand. But not everyone is convinced the turnaround in exports will be enough to sustain Japan’s economy in the long term. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s “The data shows exports are recovering moderately as a trend, so external demand may offset some of the weakness in domestic demand ahead,” said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute. “But export growth is unlikely to accelerate much from here. Europe’s economy lacks momentum and this will weigh on growth of Japan’s big Asian export markets like China,” he added. Tax effect The Japanese economy contracted by an annualised 6.8% in the second quarter of the year, the biggest fall since 2011 when it was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami. The shrinkage was largely in response to a government sales tax, which held back consumer spending. Japan’s sales tax had risen from 5% to 8% in April. That was the first rise in 17 years. The government is scheduled to consider later this year whether to raise the sales tax by another 2%, to 10%, in 2015.

K-pop star gives tearful testimony on harassment

Book Novotel Hotel K-pop star gives tearful testimony on harassment Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo A member of the chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans has tearfully testified to South Korean lawmakers as part of an inquiry into workplace harassment. Hanni, 20, alleged that entertainment agency Hybe had deliberately undermined her band, and accused senior managers of deliberately ignoring her. Following multiple incidents, she said: “I came to the realisation that this wasn’t just a feeling. I was honestly convinced that the company hated us.” After hearing her testimony, the CEO of NewJeans’ record label, Ador – a subsidiary of Hybe – said she would “listen more closely” to her artists, adding: “I wonder if there was more I could have done.” ‘Ignore her’ Hanni, who is Vietnamese-Australian, was testifying to the Labour Committee of South Korea’s National Assembly at a hearing about workplace harassment. She was called to give evidence last month, after NewJeans went public with allegations about their treatment following the dismissal of their mentor Min Hee-Jin. Min, who co-founded Ador in 2021, has been a key figure in the band’s success but she was removed from her post in August, following accusations that she had planned to split from Hybe, taking NewJeans with her. Min repeatedly denied those. Then, in September, NewJeans took the unusual step of going public with their dissatisfaction at the situation. Posting on a burner YouTube account, they demanded Min’s reinstatement and made claims of workplace harassment. In one incident, Hanni said that when she greeted the members of another band at their record label offices, a manager had instructed them to “ignore her”. The singer said that when she reported the incident, her concerns had been brushed off. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 During her testimony, Hanni went into further detail about the exchange. “We have a floor in our building where we do hair and make-up. And at that time, I was waiting in the hallway because my hair and make-up was done first.” As she waited, three singers from another band and their manager walked past, Hanni continued. “I said hello to all of them, and then they came back about five or 10 minutes later. “On her way out, [the manager] made eye contact with me, turned to the rest of the group and said, ‘Ignore her like you didn’t see her’. “I don’t understand why she would say something like that in the work environment,” she added. Speaking at the National Assemblyin Seoul, Hanni said this was not an isolated incident, and claimed that senior members of Hybe management had also given her the cold shoulder. “Since my debut [in NewJeans], we ran into a person in a high-up position many times, but they never greeted me when I greeted them,” she said. “I understood from living in Korea that I have to be polite to older people and that’s part of the culture – but I think it’s just disrespectful as a human being to not greet us, regardless of our professional status.” She continued: “There was a certain vibe [of disrespect] that I felt within the company.” Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Hanni further alleged that she had seen employees bad-mouthing NewJeans on Blind – an app for internal communications similar to Teams or Slack. She also said Hybe’s PR department had contacted a journalist, asking him to downplay NewJeans’ achievements in an article about their record sales. Hybe has previously denied those accusations, saying they had been attempting to correct a factual error. However, Hanni said the incident reinforced her feeling “that the company hated us”. Kim Joo-young, who is the current CEO of Ador, was also called to testify at the hearing. She said she believed Hanni’s story of being shunned by another band’s manager, but had been “unable to find supporting evidence”. CCTV footage of the incident had expired before she had the chance to request it, she told the committee. “I believe I did everything I could, but seeing that Hanni felt this way and that the situation escalated to this point, I wonder if there was more I could have done,” she added. Kim also said she would co-operate with an investigation into the incident by South Korea’s Ministry of Labour. The story has gripped South Korean media and fans of K-Pop – where NewJeans have emerged as one of the genre’s brightest new bands. With slick pop songs like Super Shy, OMG and Supernatural, they were the eighth biggest-selling act in the world last year, and were nominated for best group at this year’s MTV Awards. Formed by Ador in 2022, its five members – Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein – range in age from 16 to 20. Despite the behind-the-scenes drama, they have continued to release and perform music. That’s partly because they are committed to a seven-year contract, which runs out in 2029. The K-pop news site Koreaboo estimated that the members would have to pay about 300 billion South Korean Won, external (about £170 million) to terminate the contract early. Hanni concluded Tuesday’s session by expressing her frustration at how the internal dispute had overshadowed her band’s career. “A lot of people have been worried about us,” she said, wiping away tears. “Some fans apologised for making us go through this, but I’m grateful to Korea for allowing me to do what I love. “The ones who should be apologising are avoiding responsibility, and that frustrates me.” Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8YYeb4PMk Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol
Uncertainty for K-Pop band after failed ultimatum
Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel Uncertainty for K-Pop band after failed ultimatum Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo The future of K-Pop band NewJeans is in doubt, after they went public with complaints against their record label. The girl group debuted in 2022, and quickly became a crossover hit, thanks to a 90s club sound, which recalled the heyday of TLC, SWV and En Vogue. But two weeks ago, the quintet hosted a surprise livestream on YouTube, where they spoke for almost half an hour about their dissatisfaction with their record label, Hybe, and the decision to remove their producer, Min Hee-jin, from her role. The group even issued an ultimatum, demanding that Min should be reinstated by 25 September. As the deadline ran out, Hybe rejected the request, putting a question mark over New Jeans’ next move. The band are committed to a seven-year contract, which runs out in 2029, but have signalled their unwillingness to continue under the current arrangement. The K-pop news site Koreaboo estimated that the band would have to pay about 300 billion South Korean Won, external (about £170 million) to terminate the contract early. It’s a highly unusual story in the tightly-controlled world of Korean pop, where artists’ moves are micromanaged down to the tiniest details. NewJeans’ decision to speak out came after months of internal wrangling at Hybe, one of South Korea’s biggest entertainment companies, which the members said had left them “anxious” and “in a state of shock”. How did the NewJeans drama begin? NewJeans were put together between 2019 and 2022 by by ADOR, a subsidiary of Hybe Corporation, under the direction of the label’s CEO Min Hee-Jin. The group’s five members – Danielle, Haerin, Hanni, Hyein and Minji – were appointed through a mixture of auditions and traineeships, with Hanni and Minji making an early appearance in the video for BTS’s single Permission To Dance. Their name was chosen a play on the phrase “new genes” – intended to evoke the idea of a new generation of pop, as well as their devotion to street fashion. Still teenagers when they released their debut single, Attention, in July 2022, they became an instant hit. Their self-titled debut EP went straight to number one in Korea in 2022, as did the follow-up, OMG. In 2023, they scored five hits on the US chart, and were named group of the year at the Billboard Women In Music Awards. The boardroom drama began this April, when Hybe announced it was auditing ADOR and Min-Jee Hin. The Korea Times reported, external that the audit included searches of computers within ADOR’s offices in Seoul. Hybe subsequently accused Min of corporate espionage – saying she had planned a hostile takeover with outside investors, so that she could manage New Jeans and ADOR independently. “The evidence included detailed discussions that Min has ordered the ADOR management to find ways to pressure Hybe into ultimately selling ADOR’s shares,” the company said in a statement. Min denied the allegations and claimed Hybe was retaliating after she’d complained that another of the label’s acts, ILLIT, had copied NewJeans’ identity, styling, choreography and music video concepts. The CEO was granted a court injunction in May, which prevented Hybe from sacking her. But in August, ADOR announced she was standing down. Initial reports stated that Min would continue to work as a producer for NewJeans, but she later announced she had rejected that offer, saying that Hybe’s terms were “unreasonable”. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 How did NewJeans react to Min’s departure? After Min’s departure, NewJeans members Hanni, Minji and Danielle spoke to fans on the NewJeans community app Phoning about their frustration and disappointment. “I was so frustrated with myself for not being able to solve anything,” Minji said, according to Korea Joong-An Daily. , external. “I am so sorry that we’re going through this unnecessary trouble when there’s already not enough time in the day to focus on the good things.” The band continued their promotional activities, however, including the launch of a lucrative new campaign as the faces of Calvin Klein. But on 11 September, the same day they were nominated for two MTV Awards, they took the unprecedented step of setting up their own YouTube channel and posting a 27-minute long video entitled “What NewJeans Wanted To Say.” Dressed mainly in black and reading a pre-prepared statement, the five-piece accused Hybe of fostering a toxic work environment and demanded Min’s reinstatement. In the video, which has since been deleted, 18-year-old Haerin said that videos of the members as trainees, as well as their private medical information had been leaked. She claimed that Hybe “did not resolve the issue nor did it take any proactive measures”, despite being made aware of the situation by the girls’ parents. (Hybe has not responded to the claim). Hanni, 19, also alleged that the manager of another girl group at Hybe had instructed its members to “ignore her” when they crossed paths at the company’s headquarters. NewJeans concluded by setting a deadline of 25 September for Min’s reinstatement – although they did not specify what action they would take if thire demands were not met “What we want is the original ADOR, where CEO Min Heejin integrates management and producing. The reason we are sharing this is because we believe this is the only way to avoid conflict with Hybe,” they said. “If our message has been properly conveyed, we hope Chairman Bang [Si-Hyuk] and Hybe will wisely restore ADOR to its original state by the 25th.” Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s Why did Hybe reject NewJeans’ request? On 25 September, Hybe issued a statement, external to the Korea Herald, saying it would not honour NewJeans’ request. However, Ador said Min could continue as both an internal director at Ador and NewJeans’ producer. “The board has resolved to convene an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to reappoint Min Hee-jin as an internal director,” Ador said in an official statement.
Court rules against K-pop group NewJeans in record label dispute
Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel Court rules against K-pop group NewJeans in record label dispute Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPElmgQJGBo A South Korean court has ruled against chart-topping K-pop group NewJeans which had sought to cut ties with its record label Ador. The court said the band, which had renamed themselves NJZ and began organising their own appearances, must not conduct any independent activities – from making music to signing advertising deals. Earlier last year, NewJeans said that they were leaving Ador, after accusing them of mistreatment. Ador subsequently sued to have NewJeans’ contracts upheld and, after accusing the group of trying to sign independent deals without its approval, filed an injunction against them in January. The group has said that they will challenge Friday’s decision. The court’s ruling casts some uncertainty around the release of the group’s new song, slated for Sunday. Book Novotel Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJsGZL-zb54 It also means they will now face difficulty re-debuting under their new name, NJZ, without facing severe financial penalties for breach of contract. NewJeans and Ador have been embroiled in a dramatic dispute since August 2024, when Hybe, the parent company of Ador, allegedly forced out NewJeans’ mentor, Min Hee-Jin. The band issued an ultimatum demanding that Min should be restored – and, when Hybe refused, went public with a number of complaints against the label, including the claim it had deliberately undermined their careers. One of the group’s members, Hanni, also alleged that she suffered workplace harassment while working with the label. In a press conference in November, NewJeans announced their departure from the company, saying Hybe and Ador had lost the right to represent them as artists. On Friday, the Seoul court ruled that NewJeans’ claims did not “sufficiently prove that Ador violated their significant duty as part of their contract”, adding that the music label had upheld “most of its duty including payment”. Banzai Japan Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3syHHGzkF_s “If [NewJeans] unilaterally terminate the contract, Ador would suffer greatly. And if [NewJeans] begins activity under a new name, it could severely damage not only the brand of NewJeans but the reputation of Ador,” the court’s statement reads. The group says they respect the ruling but has argued that they did not have sufficient opportunity to fully present their case to the court. “We plan to challenge today’s decision… during which we will raise additional legal issues and submit further supporting evidence,” they responded in a statement just hours after the ruling. “Regardless… we can no longer remain with a management that has disrespected our identities and undermined our achievements.” A lawsuit regarding the validity of the two parties’ contract termination is still underway. The five band members – Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Hyein – have over the past few months continued to assert their independence, creating a new Instagram account under the name “jeanzforfree”. They have also said they would fight to keep their name, and their career, and would remain “NewJeans at heart” even if they lost the fight against Ador. NewJeans were considered one of the brightest new bands in K-Pop, thanks to a playful blend of 1990s R&B and sugar-coated pop melodies. In 2023, they were the eighth biggest-selling act in the world. Last year, they picked up a nomination for best group at the MTV Awards.

NewJeans announce hiatus after setback in court battle

Book Novotel Hotel NewJeans announce hiatus after setback in court battle Banzai Japan Music Video South Korean K-pop group NewJeans have announced they are taking a break from all activities, after a court ruled against them in their ongoing dispute with their record label Ador. The five-piece, who have attempted to rebrand as NJZ, announced during a show at ComplexCon Hong Kong on Sunday that “this will be our last performance for a little while”, after debuting their new song Pit Stop. The court ruling on Friday forbade the group from organising their own appearances, making music or signing advertising deals during their dispute with Ador. NewJeans are seeking to cut ties with Ador after accusing them of mistreatment, and have said they will challenge the court’s ruling. Book Novotel Hotel The group have been embroiled in a lengthy dispute with their record label since August 2024, when Hybe, the parent company of Ador, allegedly forced out NewJeans’ mentor, Min Hee-Jin.

The court’s decision prevents the band from conducting independent activities, which means it will face difficulty rebranding under its new name, NJZ, without facing severe financial penalties for breach of contract. The Hong Kong concert on Sunday night marked the group’s first public appearance since the ruling. After debuting their new song, the five members Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin and Heyin took turns to read a letter addressing their fans in English and Korean. Banzai Japan Music Video “This stage means so much to us and every single one of you who gives us strength just by being here,” Hanni and Dani said. “It is really hard for us to say this, but this might be our last performance for a little while. Out of respect for the court’s decision, we’ve decided to pause all our activities for now. “It wasn’t an easy decision,” they added, “but we believe this is something we need to do at this moment.” The group also said that the decision was “about protecting ourselves so that we can come back even stronger”. “We had to speak up to protect the values that we believe in, and that was a choice that we don’t regret at all,” they added. “We surely believe that standing up for our dignity, our rights and everything we deeply care about is something we had to do, and that belief will not change.” The speech ended an hour-long headlining set in front of a crowd of more than 11,000 fans at the AsiaWorld Expo Arena, Hong Kong’s largest live music venue. The group performed under their new name NJZ, in seeming defiance of last week’s ruling. In a statement on Monday, Ador said they “regret the members’ decision to proceed with a performance under a name other than NewJeans, despite the court order, and their unilateral announcement of a suspension of activities”. “Ador is fully committed to supporting NewJeans, consistent with the terms of our legally valid exclusive contract,” they added. “We hope to meet with the artists as soon as possible to discuss the path forward.” NewJeans are considered one of the brightest new bands in K-Pop, and were the eighth biggest-selling act in the world in 2023.
