Is there a place that I can order their music from I tried Yes Asia but it came back with no results for KOtic

Try Ethaicd. I haven't bough from there myself, but it seems to be the best site when it comes to Thai CDs and merchandise. The prices aren't too bad either.

Ethaicd.com is where you'll find K-OTIC stuff and all of your other Thai needs ... i order from there all the time ... the shipping price is already added into the price and if your order 7 or more items you'll get free express shipping and they'll take the shipping price off of the products you ordered ... they're really fast and reliable .... and if they dont have that product that you ordered for some reason they'll tell you and will refund your money ...

you can find a lot of K-OTIC stuff on there - cd, vcd, dvd, concerts, magazines etc ...

Not sure if anyone has brought this up, but can you really take a name that was already in used before? There used to be a Dutch pop group called K-Otic, but they disbanded in 2003. Although the Thai group doesn't have a hyphen and is in a different country, the name is still pretty close. Anyway, I am not too sure about name rights and how it works in other countries because there were Kiss from South Korea and Kiss from the USA. What I do know is that if a band name is already taken, then the band must change their name.

Student Weekly: November 9, 2009 issue

High times

By Suwitcha Chaiyong

Tomo and Poppy have Deja vu?

Plenty of Thai teens go crazy over K-pop boy bands, but leading local lads K-otic whipped international fans into a frenzy at the Asia Song Festival in Seoul last September. The band also received the best Asian artist award at the event.
After their great success at the festival, group members Visava Thaiyanont (Tomo), 19, and Panu Chiraguna (Poppy), 18, made a special album together called 2High.

With Tomo's smooth dance moves and Poppy's powerful voice, it's not surprising that the duo's first single, "Dejavu," has hit big all around the kingdom.

Student Weekly recently caught up with Tomo and Poppy to ask them about "Dejavu" and their exciting experiences at the Asia Song Festival.

• Did you know •
Poppy can play the saxophone.

STUDENT WEEKLY: Why did you guys decide to work together as a duo?

POPPY: We thought about matching up with other members, but we ended up together because our dancing styles work well together. Our personalities are also quite similar.

TOMO: We're both pretty quiet, except when we're with close friends.

STUDENT WEEKLY: How did the other guys in K-otic react to 2High?

POPPY: They really supported us and gave us some useful comments about our songs. They also wanted to learn our dance routines. Jongbae already knows all of our steps!

STUDENT WEEKLY: What does the title 2High mean to you?

TOMO: Two means me and Poppy, and high refers to taking our careers a step further. It's about making progress.

STUDENT WEEKLY: What's the main difference between 2High and K-otic's albums?

TOMO: Our dancing style is different from K-otic's. With K-otic, we use a lot of krumping styles, but as a duo, we use more hip-hop moves.

STUDENT WEEKLY: Why does the music video for "Dejavu" feature snow, even though it's set in Thailand?

POPPY: We're meant to be guys with mental problems in the video, so the director wanted to make it a bit surreal. We made it look like it was snowing by blowing foam with a fan. We got heaps of foam in our mouths during the shoot!

STUDENT WEEKLY: How did you feel when people questioned the decision to pick K-otic to represent Thailand at the Asia Song Festival?

POPPY: K-otic were invited by the people who arranged the festival in Korea, and we felt that we were ready to perform there. Between us, we can speak Thai, English, Japanese and Korean, so we felt that we could communicate well with the audience and represent Thai culture well.

STUDENT WEEKLY: How did you come up with the idea to perform a Thai khon dance to open your performance?

TOMO: We wanted something to represent Thai culture and we felt that khon was a good choice. Our dance instructor suggested that we use the Hanuman monkey character because it suits our personalities.

STUDENT WEEKLY: Is performing khon much different from hip-hop dancing?

TOMO: It's harder than hip-hop. I was so worn out that I couldn't get up after practising khon for the first time. It requires a lot of energy and emphasises perfect balance. It becomes even more difficult when you wear the masks because you can't see clearly, and it's hard to breathe.

STUDENT WEEKLY: Did you guys visit Jongbae's house in Korea?

TOMO: No. Unfortunately we were too busy. I hope we get a chance to visit Seoul again.

STUDENT WEEKLY: Do you have any special message for your fans?

TOMO: Our "Dejavu" single is available now. Have a listen, and if you like it, please download it legally!

The Thai group does have a hyphen in the name, it is K-Otic.
The band name is only copyright in the country they're signed in, I believe. I'm not sure how it works in Europe...
But I do know in Japan, there's several groups that have the same name in the country, and throughout Asia there's many groups that share the same names as American artists. I think that only presents a problem if they want to debut in the US under that same name, and then the American group can file a lawsuit if they want, like the American group Rain did against the Korean singer Rain

Now I see how it works in other countries. It must really sucks to lose your name if you debut in another country along with lawsuits. Thank you!

2High's single "Deja Vu" is No.4 in Thailand


Monkey Hero's single "Tah Tur Mee Jing" is No.6 in Thailand


CONGRATS

Waah! They're all younger than me! Lol... JK, that's how the majority of the groups are anyways...

But uhm, I'm currently obsessed with their "Blacklist" album... went through my things and found it again! I really like that album! I can actually listen to all those songs over and over again...
