DSP Entertainment is slowly but surely entering Kara into the Japanese market. The girls are in Japan this weekend for a special showcase but before that happened, the girls did something special for the Japanese fans. DJ Miyu held a fan event titled "Kara's Beforehand Night Festival," a fan organized event where Japanese Kara fans socialize and have drinks before the special showcase. No one thought that Kara even knew about the event let alone expected Kara to show up... but they did. The girls of Kara surprised everyone and attended the fan organized event. Here's a full fan account, translated by Wewtf @ Karaholic:

"In my history of blogging, this is the day where I've had the hardest time deciding what to write about. I wrote this in an earlier post but, today I attended DJ Miyu's event, "Kara's Beforehand Night Festival." This is the first time I've attended an event with fellow fans, so to be honest I was half interested and half worried. I entered the place at 8 PM. A KARA song was playing, and inside there were many people with drink in hand having fun. I heard the press was covering the event as well, so I hid myself amongst the crowd and enjoyed myself. I also met up with oolt and xcorp (fellow KARA bloggers). This is no more than an account of my attendance of a fan-organized event but... Why did I title this "Legend of Kara in Japan?" Did a legend actually occur? At around 9 PM, just as the event had calmed down a bit, I heard a "kyaaaa" scream from a fangirl, and as I reacted and looked towards the direction of the scream, my legend began. Unmistakenly, in front of my very eyes, it was the goddess Park Gyuri! Everyone paused for a second and then a huge roar of joy erupted. I don't know what exactly happened at that moment but before I knew it, Gyuri, Seungyeon, Hara, Nicole, and Jiyoung were all present at the "Kara beforehand night festival." I couldn't believe that a fan-organized event for fans was actually attended by KARA themselves! But they did! They all stood at the front, the DJ put on "Honey", and all the KARA members sang it. You must call this a legend. However, after "Honey" ended, each KARA member gave a greeting in Japanese. In line, it was Seungyeon->Hara->Gyuri -> Jiyoung. I really can't say anything except that I'm lucky I was able to witness this scene. At the end, Gyuri said "Let's meet the day after tomorrow" and "have a good night" with a smile, before leaving the premise. I don't know exactly how they came to the meeting place but, I'm thankful to the KARA who were tired after coming from Korea, to DSP, and to whoever gave me the luck to meet KARA. Thank you very much. Today was the start of Kara's legend in Japan. The next step will be at KARA's showcase. I'll be doing my best to cheer them on as a fan, so I hope you all do as well."
