Guest tsuyoyo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi guys, I figured I'd pop in here and ask because I didn't get any response from the Epik High comm on Livejournal. I'm currently in Tokyo and planning on going to the Shibuya-ax concert. Is anyone else in the area and would like to go with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tinenapay Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 so i just learned about the news how some radio stations banned Epik High's songs. i am not from Korea so im just curious, are the media board there really THAT strict when it comes to lyrics? it's such a shame how these guys pour their all in making music only for their work to get banned. i mean banning a song because the group's website is in the lyrics? come on!

I agree. Honestly, I don't understand why they have to ban it if they're promoting their own label. If it was promoting other copyrighted products, then I guess its understandable since they didn't pay to use those labels. But if the song doesn't contain violence, sexually explicit content, criticism of the government or names and labels, then shouldn't it be okay?

Guest gr3ent Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i was wondering.. if tickets go on sale before the ticket reservation button works on mts.com, does that mean all those waiting on mts wont get tickets to the show? many people think the tickets going on sale are a scam. its hard not to be suspicious since we havent heard official news from eh yet. i checked HoB and it doesnt say anything about eh performing may 16th yet. maybe they havent updated? anyways, to anybody that hears news about the SF concert, please post! i really want to get a ticket also. haha. oh yeh, anybody buying the new mts logo tshirt? it goes on sale 4/18.

Guest jnie05 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 i don't think the seattle ones are fake...but the LA ones sound iffy. and their songs got banned because it has their site in there? that's just overboard!!! i understand that songs with explicit language is a no in korea....but damn just for saying mapthesoul??? they have to be out of their minds!!! they just want to break EH. suckas.

Guest stardaisy212 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 here are the reason why they banned the songs Believe: MBC “Epic High talks about specific brands, there is strong and excessive indirect advertisement." KBS and SBS's reason “their lyrics contain criticism towards specific organizations.” Top Gun: Criticizes a certain career (I cannot find the english lyrics, so I don't know what career is specified) Cipher: Includes "Mapthesoul.com" in the lyrics Mithra Jin commented on the situation blogging “For this ‘Map the soul’ book album, KBS banned 2 of my tracks and one of Tablo’s so we have nothing to play on the radio now”. Credits to musicae @ Soompi Radio To tell you the truth, i think they saw it coming and if you look at the music charts, map the soul isnt that high on the chart but thats probably due to the lack of promotion for the song. i think this is unfair since they work hard to make this album by themselves but while for other artists, they dont really write the songs themselves and they have an label behind them to protect them. oh well like tablo said before, this is BS Epik High in Slowmo ROFL. that is funny clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously i agree! I keep checking every single day for tickets and then there is none for the SF venue. Plus the SF venue is the first place they stop at, and then they start selling tickets for Seattle, their last stop first. Ay...I'm just going to have to keep on checking.

The venue is normally standing room only, meaning that generally there are no assigned seating. According to the information that I have, the tickets are "will call". The tickets will be actually going LIVE on 10pm PST TONIGHT, at www.cgnlive.com. The links for the tickets sales are not up right now but it should go up @ 10pm.

Guest JANG. Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Top Gun: Criticizes a certain career (I cannot find the english lyrics, so I don't know what career is specified) in the showcase they talk about why this was banned, and they say that it's because they state "i'm a serial killer." then they start making fun of that and saying, "cereal killer. i love eating cereal. i like kellog's. i love fruity loops." and LOL at tukutz's comment when he says "the tiger (tony the tiger) is a cereal killer." i agree that it's a little unfair, but i'm just thankful that their songs aren't being censored by their label anymore to begin with. even if the songs get banned on the radio and TV, at least they're songs that epik high personally wanted released. the slight restrictions that the label put on their music are gone now, so of course the new songs from their independent label aren't all gonna be radio-friendly tracks. i still hope their album sales are great though. with the way the site's been going, it seems like it has been so far.
