The cycle of teasers begins again, as�2NE1 launched their first preview of their Japanese single, "I Am The Best".

The girls previously revealed that they'd be expanding into Japan with a Japanese version of their current hit. This first teaser features leader CL, who simply states "I am the best" in Korean.

We were definitely a bit confused when we first heard the clip, but the chorus is supposedly going to stay in Korean. Hopefully, we'll get to hear the girls whip out some Japanese in future previews.

Check out preview #1 below:

2NE1 will release "I Am The Best" through mobile music site Recochoku on July 20th. Tip: Gyuri lee
