After recently signing a solo record deal in Japan with Slavex Trax, Korean idol Tiffany Taeyeon has released the details of her first solo single, "LOVE!"/"HAPPINESS", which will be released in Japan as a double A-side single on January 11th.
"LOVE!" is an urban-dance ballad featuring Japanese rapper Wise, while "HAPPINESS" is an electronic club song with a European sound. Both songs were made available for streaming on Avex's official website earlier today, delighting fans who had been waiting patiently to hear Tiffany's long-awaited solo debut.
Along with the new music, Tiffany has also made a shocking transformation for the single's release, leaving behind her trademark sexy image to showcase a bold and colorful new look that highlights her previously hidden charms. According to Tiffany's agency White Entertainment, the official title for the new concept is "Future Space Color Disco", and it was specifically designed to showcase the bright and vibrant side of Tiffany's personality that the public have never seen before. However, some detractors have been quick to point the finger at White, accusing the agency of ripping off Seo In Young's Ellythm concept and trying to reinvent Tiffany's image for Japan after her old sexy style and rude behavior gained her a negative reputation in Korea.
In an interview with our sister-site Tokyo Dive, Tiffany had this to say about her first single release:
"I am nervous to finally begin my solo career, but I am also confident and determined to do my best so I can please the Japanese fans for all the love they have shown Heathers. My new songs showcase many of my unique talents, such as singing and rapping and beauty, so please support me."
Tiffany also spoke briefly about her feud with Kawaii icon Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, which first started last September at Tokyo Fashion Week after Kyary criticized the Heathers' red carpet style.
"My single will be released on January 11th, the same day as Kyary's "Tsukema Tsukera". I know that she is a hot trend in Japan right now, but I am looking forward to charting much higher than her. I ask that you show my new single lots of love and purchase multiple copies so I can beat Kyary. Arigato."
