Samsung & iRiver vs. iPod (Apple)

Just until a few years ago, MP3 market was in the grip of South Korean companies, such as iRiver and Samsung. However, as we all agree, Apple, dominates the MP3 market in most of regions.

But still, Apple cannot top in Korea, and here is a reason.
"Koreans do not think about designs of MP3 players, but also functions as well."

And I believe the reason for the iPod's success is the smartest way of marketing.

iPod has become an icon that young people (at least in North America) should have. It functions as a fashion icon, too.

However, iRiver and Samsung, they only believed that they could win the market with high technological skills and creative designs. Which means that they did not put a mind to people that their MP3 players are necessary to live (sort of in a sense).

In addition, Apple's iTunes was another great marketing success, so that even more people have become to use iPods.
However, iRiver's iRiver Plus 3 and Samsung's unknown music studio were clear failures. Only users of iRiver and Samsung's Mp3 players use these softwares.

Because of these clear differences, iRiver and Samsung and many other well-going companies had to yield their profits to Apple.

SAY GOODBYE BYE
OH MY LOVE
DON'T LIE LIE

SAY GOODBYE

English Translation

Leave
Yeah, Finally I realize that I am nothing without you
I was so wrong, forgive me
Ah ah ah ah~

My broken heart like a wave
My shaken heart like a wind
My heart vanished like smoke
It can't be removed like a tattoo
I sigh deeply as if a ground is going to cave in
Only dusts are piled up in my mind
(say goodbye)

Yeah, I thought I wouldn't be able to live even one day without you
But somehow I managed to live on (longer) than I thought
You don't answer anything as I cry out "I miss you"
I hope for a vain expectation but now it's useless

What is it about that person next to you, did he make you cry?
Dear can you even see me, did you forget completely?
I am worried, I feel anxiety because I can't get close nor try to talk to you
I spend long nights by myself, erasing my thoughts a thousand times
[Chorus]
Don't look back and leave
Don't find me again and live (on)
Because I have no regrets from loving you, take only the good memories
I can bear it in some way
I can stand in some way
You should be happy if you are like this
I become dull day by day (eh eh eh eh)
Oh girl I cry, cry
You're my all, say goodbye...

If we pass by each other on the street
Act like you didn't see me and go the way you were walking to
If you keep thinking about our past memories
I might go look for you secretly

Always be happy with him, (so) I won't ever get a different mind
Even smallest regret won't be left out ever
Please live well as if I should feel jealous
You should always be like that bright sky, like that white cloud
Yes, you should always smile like that as if nothing happened

[Chorus]

I hope your heart fees relieved
Please forget about me and live (on)
Those tears will dry completely
As time passes by
It would've hurt less if we didn't meet at all (mm)
Hope you will bury our promise of being together forever baby
I pray for you

[Chorus]

Oh girl I cry, cry
You're my all, say goodbye, bye
Oh my love don't lie, lie
You're my heart, say goodbye

English Translation

“I will never do something like love again”
there was a time that I pledged these words
the memories of being cast aside,
my faith and trust crumbling down
I erased the pain in my solace.
But on the day when I first saw you
I gathered my courage again
Because whenever I lean on your shoulder, I am comfortable
I want to stay with you just like this babe

This time things will be different my love
It will be okay for me to trust you
I pray that the feelings that you have for me
will never change
I love you baby and I need you baby
Without you I live in continuing days of solace and sorrow
Don’t ever change
My all, I will be the same

Though I trust you and have no suspicions
I get nervous when you are not here.
When a dark night passes
and the sun shines again in the sky,
if I do not see you here, I may cry again.
In the days where I passed you by
casually passing you just like other guys,
I pray that those days will not be painful memories
Hold me closer baby just like this

This time things will be different my love
It will be okay for me to trust you
I pray that the feelings that you have for me
will never change
I love you baby and I need you baby
Without you I live in continuing days of solace and sorrow
Don’t ever change
My all, I will be the same

You are my one and last hope
If I live in a world without you
It will be a darkness too harsh.
Please know my feelings of expectation
My love

This time things will be different my love
It will be okay for me to trust you
I pray that the feelings that you have for me
will never change
I love you baby and I need you baby
Without you I live in continuing days of solace and sorrow
Don’t ever change
My all, I will be the same.
