TSZX the Grace releases first official Japanese album

20071114txzh

TSZX the Grace was around for so long, but they didn’t release their first official Japanese album until today. It took these four SMites 2 years to release an official album because their promotional activities in Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan were mediocre at best – which begs the question, why is SM still pushing them? Isn’t it about time to disband them and insert them into different groups? Maybe even shameless SM can’t recycle their “talents” more than once.

TSZX’s first official Japanese album “Graceful 4″ was released in Japan and Korea today and it features DBSK’s Hero JaeJung.

Pop in:
The 14th Korea Entertainment Arts Award
Dream Concert

    What the hell are you talking about? Did you think that people would nod their heads and agree with you when you talk nonsense about TSZX- and out of all girl-groups? TSZQ is one of the most talented (yeah, they actually have talent) girl groups in Korea today already- without comparing them to the mediocre, talentless girl-groups out there. They can definitely sing and dance, and they have the personalities and potential to be able to make it big. They’re wayy underrated, they just need more attention and promotion from freaking SM. They are quite the cuties actually, just pretty much unheard of..I’ve only heard 1 song from their new japanese album, Pirhana. It was pretty good.

    They have talent but they are boring. They have no personality. But they are beautiful girls.

    i like them. they sing live well. except i noticed that if its not actually their song, like when they sand lets go on a vacation with superjunior(terrible!) they didnt do well at all. but on their own sond=gs theyr great. i love stephanie! such a good dancer. shes not someone trained like all of sma other girls, she majored in ballet in college although she didnt finish college.

    Okay, they can sing. They can dance. They’re attractive.

    They’re also very flat. They aren’t hugely popular because they bore the shit out of anyone giving them the time of day. They either need to step it up in the personality and charm department, get a new member who has enough for all of them, or go elsewhere because this isn’t working.

    Again. Like everyone else, first JAPANESE album. Really, POPSEOUL!… misinterpretation much?

    These girls do have talent, although Stephanie’s “sexy dances” can get really obnoxious at times, and the act’s getting kind of old. I know she can dance; show us something new, will ya?

    It’s really sad how they just can’t make it and what’s more unfortunate is that they have indeed been “recycled.” They just don’t have the X-factor and I kind of agree with Raye.

    their pose are really awkward….

  8. 8 Keiko November 15, 2007 at 9:27 am

    i like them…
    i think they r okay..

  9. 9 jane November 15, 2007 at 10:52 am

    they’re the downfall of sm.

  10. 10 Lina November 15, 2007 at 11:16 am

    Uh, nice photoshopping the cover to make it look 10 times uglier than the real one… (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/Graceful4_cd.jpg) and yes, first JAPANESE album, not first album.

  11. 11 hearmeroar November 15, 2007 at 12:18 pm

    this wasn’t their first album (i guess you figured that out from the comments). this was just their first japanese album.

  12. 12 marmar November 15, 2007 at 1:46 pm

    Usually I agree with you on your blogs popseoul since there hella funny but this one I’m gonna have to disagree. They are really talented girls. There talented in all fields needed to be the best.
    There the only “POP” girl group that I like, everyone else is boring (I say pop, cause I love Big Mama..lol)
    .n. this ablum is amazing. I love the songs on it.

    .n. breaking them up..come on now, that’s kinda harsh..if SM were to ever break them up (I hope not) then that’ll be the end for SM .n. me..TSZX is the only reason I give SUJU/DBSK/BOA .n. everyone else a chance..lol

  13. 13 Ann*e November 15, 2007 at 2:58 pm

    i like TSZX!
    congrats girls!

  14. 14 j November 15, 2007 at 3:18 pm

    i think they’re pretty and they can sing but the problem with them for me is that their songs are crap. i hated one more time, ok? and piranha. i kind of liked my everything but not enough to purchase the album for it.

    besides, i don’t know anything about them. the only one you see on shows is stephanie and her sexy act gets old after the first ten times you see it.

    oh well.

  15. 15 wt November 15, 2007 at 3:33 pm

    this blog has always been bias and this post, i have to disagree with wad u say.

    csjh is the few girl groups out there who actually HAVE talents. dance, sing, perform, looks. they have it.

  16. 16 SAE-BIN November 15, 2007 at 3:52 pm

    This is def not their first album -___-
    Their first album came out like long ago.
    Are you trying to say, first jap album or something ? o__O

    Anyway. I don’t like some of the songs in their jap album.

    oh and i agree with what sheepie said, lol
    i noticed lonnng time ago, popseoul seems to only love Honey lee. and maybe some others. .__.

  17. 17 Dovey November 15, 2007 at 6:11 pm

    I’ve never heard of this female group…so whatever happens to them, I wouldn’t really care. XD

    Pfft, and for the love of god, they only featured Hero to boost up their time in the limelight, I bet.

  18. 18 xxx November 15, 2007 at 8:33 pm

    i wonder why are some *not-as-talented* artists more popular than them. what exactly do the Korean citizens want to see in the entertainment industry?

    like any other talented and good artists from SM, they’d be better off with another agency.
    i never really liked Stephanie’s style, or the girl herself, for that matter. i dunno, like what some said, her sexy act only lasts for a few minutes then you’d get tired of seeing it.

  19. 19 YaHa November 16, 2007 at 1:09 am

    TSZX is rather talented. I don’t get why they aren’t popular. :( Maybe their songs arent appealing?

    By the way, isnt your picture of them wrong? I don’t remember their dress that color o_O Ah there we go:

    http://filearchive.wordpress.com/2007/11/15/36/

    Looks much better ^^

    from a few of songs that I’ve heard, I only like ‘The Club’ the rest a bit weird.

    Lina has a strong vocal. I think she’s the best singer in CSJH.

    The reason why they flop, I think because of SM mistake marketing them as the second DBSK. Even creating a name that’s in similar concept with DBSK. That got a bad reaction from the lovely(sarcasm) Cassiopeia. They hated them. Maybe that’s why SM try to keep low profile on them, so the once again lovely(bleh) Cassiopeia will forget about the ’second DBSK’ tactic. Maybe once the issue get pass their brains SM will try to promote them more.

    Stephanie is 20……gosh, I always thought she is 25-27 something…

    But except from Lina I can’t stand anybody else from this group. And their MV concept all too sexy and revealing. They can dance. Cover them up a bit please SM.

    Btw, that color of pink is ugly, super ugly. Stephanie’s dress looks cheap. -.-;;

    I’ve heard of the group but I’ve never really paid until to them until just recently when I found some videos of them singing a capella on youtube. I immediately became a fan of theirs. They are the most talented girls that SM can get. But yes, as Mut said, marketing them as the female version of TVXQ doesn’t take them far. SM needs to have these artist make their own mark and not as a copy of another group. After so many failed singles, shouldn’t SM realized that they need a change? Why waste their talent on mediocre bubblegum pop singles when they can do so much more? Release an a capella single or something different.

    i like them if i can get the album i would

  23. 23 Di November 18, 2007 at 6:57 am

    Hey, watch it PopSeoul. TSZX is actually pretty damn decent. It is the only girl group that I listen to and don’t get sick of. :p

  24. 24 ~sKye~ November 18, 2007 at 5:32 pm

    gosh~ the pink is blinding!

  25. 25 korean-do November 20, 2007 at 8:59 pm

    its their first jap album.
    i think you should judge a band too quickly.
    i mean, look.
    sm probably didnt think of diabanding them cos,
    history may have repeated itself.

    remember shinhwa days in sm?
    sm wanted to disband all the while after they were not that well received from their first album.
    sm didnt even intend to allow them to cut their 2nd album!
    and look at shinhwa now, EVERYONE KNOWS THEM!
    they are really talented. and sm regreted letting these talented boys leave her and go to another company.

    so, SM may have retain csjh cos they are really talented.
    they just need the right songs that appeal to the crowd and,
    SM should concentrate promoting csjh
    they have been left too long, SM should use them as actively as dong bang..

  26. 26 shdm November 28, 2007 at 3:20 pm

    the only thing i have to said, is that the only word that they don’t know is passion.

  27. 27 amai December 1, 2007 at 9:13 pm

    I LOVE THIS ALBUM. I don’t know with you, but I find them so talented. They’re music is good, they’re pretty, and they can dance.

    But seriously—The album’s good.

  28. 28 jihae December 29, 2007 at 11:59 am

    i know that they’re songs are good… but they have gong-joo-byung

  29. 29 Vicky February 14, 2008 at 5:28 am

    their japanese album so far sounds great

  30. 30 Terry April 2, 2008 at 6:04 am

    The 4 beauties have truly stepped out of time. CSJH sings as sweet as angles.

  31. 31 Terry April 2, 2008 at 6:06 am

    I really love the way CSJH dose the song FAITH

  32. 32 theamarie September 28, 2009 at 12:48 am

    What are you talking about? It’s not their fault they are not popular its LSM!!!!THey are one of the most talented girl groups in ASIA. They are called female Dbsk because they are like Dbsk although need some improvement. The girl groups that can’t compete with other girl groups today because you know why? because they are too good!! they have the personality(only need to be shown more because they are not promoted more) they have the look/charm, they are very very talented.

    Look when they are in JApan, Avex takes care of them so much they are gaining popularity singing OSt’s, going to popular tv show like Hey x3. Japan has higher standard in singing live you know can you SNSD, wondergirls, 4minute to that? When i look at korean girl groups today they rarely do live performances. I hate kpop scene today so much scandal, so much bad things sorry to say it. ALL excellent artist are gone they are overshadow by talentless girl groups who likes to sing repetitive song. What’s happening to Korean industry? WE all need changes you know. Repetitive song is fun to hear but sometimes people have enough listening to it/
    CSJH PLEASE COMEBACK
