SO HAPPY IT'S 20TH JULY! o wait...that means, i probably am unable to download it since i wont be at home O NOOOOO

im so happy Juyeon's the leader. I hope that means more parts :)

here's what i imagine and foresee
Verse1: E-young
Chorus1: Raina
Verse2: Juyeon
Chorus2: Lizzy

Last chorus: All together with Raina doing adlibs

^Raina is gonna do the adlibs for sure.

Kahi so sexy

"AS Red and AS Blue will be performing on MuCore (23 July) and Inkigayo (24 July) next week."

from fyafterschool.

If I'm more excited for their comeback than other comebacks...does that mean they are my favourite?? HAHAHHA
or maybe i'm just an avid supporter of the underdogs :P

^It's funny you say that because I feel the same way :laugh
I think I might suffer from a light form of ... obsession?

OMGGGG! SEE THIIIS! PROMO FOR BLUE
THAT LITTLE PART RAINA SINGS IS FROM THEIR SONG?!! :thud



lizzy:roflmao

^Yep thats for sure part of their song!!!! sounds so..soothing ahhaha..i wonder how the music will be like...
hopefully it'll be different because I can randomly insert a normal korean pop style to fit that tune ahhaha

and LIZZY IS SO HILARIOUS! She never fails to make me smile

:laugh I love Lizzy. She's awesome.
I couldn't understand a word of what Lizzy said (except for when she introduced herself :laugh) but it looked very funny.

Raina is so amazing with long hair :heart

Nana's taken over Bekah's rap in "Because of You."

also, we should get our first taste of the Japanese version of "Bang!" at their showcase tomorrow! I can't wait to see how they've changed it around to include Yiyoung, and what they do with the rapping.

^I could barely hear Nana though :laugh
Not sure how I feel about her rap... I'm glad Kahi took over Bekah's part in Bang!

o DEAR Nana's rap sounded quite awkward to me.i need time to get used to it. it lacked a certain strength our dear B had so....
then again, rapping may improve with time..i dont think her voice suits such a sad song though..

Bekah was definitely the queen of rapping in AS. Kahi's good, too, but Bekah put her own spin on things and always sounded so sassy. she will definitely be missed on upcoming releases. ="(

anyway! their Japanese showcase should be starting soon! I so hope we get to hear the Japanese version of "Bang" today - I'd even settle for a clip!

I really don't like bekahs rap *sigh*
I think ill like it when I get over bekahs departure.

STARTING! (or started :/)

a super short preview of A.S. Blue's title track was just aired on Inkigayo:

^Oooh the track sounds really good.

OMG THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE BEST K-POP SONG GOES JAPAN :thud

And the AS Blue promo thing is so cute lol Lizzy :heart

I totally dislike the new arrangement... :(

To be honest, I wasn't expecting the Japanese version to be this epic.
I thought: well they're just gonna stick to the arrangement and only rerecord the song in Japanese. But they didn't, god I love After School.

EDIT: I want a Korean version of the Japanese version :laugh

see koreans, this is how you do a japanese debut!
fuc*** epic :heart

cant wait for their comeback performances next week ;_;

it looks like having avex spending $$$ helps a lot :laugh hope we'll have a preview of the new song soon too!!! :heart

and now I need real teasers for both ASblue and red!!

I hope with avex spending $$$ they will have great sales too!

After School and 2NE1 are defenitely my number 1 girl groups~

sexy kahi :heart

^It was so funny when Lizzy and Nana were touching Kahi's body on screen. :laugh

^:roflmao

Kahi is perfect isn't she
:heart

uee looked really beautiful in that video <33

aaand...
According to a Japanese fan who went to the showcase, Kahi’s Japanese is really good. So good that she didn’t need to go through the translator to understand what was said.

ZOMG I WASNT EXPECTING THE NEW ARRANGEMENT!! IT FEELS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND A.S.B BLUE'S SONG IS SO FRESH AND WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

yay:heart

Ahh I want so much to order both of these mini albums but I don't have paypal D:
Heelp? :weep

wow wow I loooove the arrangements and the vocals are so far eh ok.
I know I'll love this song.

lol..so Lady is a ballad for Raina featuring e-young, lizzy and juyeon...lol...that's quite..hmmm

I can't even handle this. The video looks AMAZING and the instrumental sounds great. I'm sure I'll get more used to the Japanese lyrics the more I listen to it.

Alright...I officially LOVE After School haha.

I'm blazing through their discography right now.

footage from their Japanese showcase has been released:


the new version of "Bang!" is really fantastic. I canNOT wait to hear the full thing!

oww I wish they included a japanese version of Shampoo on the single. I think japanese people would LOVE it.

YES I KNOW RIGHT! there's money put into it!

welcome to the playgirlz club :P

the mini-preview of the song of AS BLUE sounds good!
the new version of Bang! was really unexpected to me ! It's good, but i prefer the original version. But the pv looks really really awesome!
I hope we can get the full pv soon !!

And about Shampoo, i hope a japanese version too. Maybe it could be their second single !

HOOLYYYYYYY---!!!!!!! THE NEW ARRANGEMENT IS EPIC AND THE MV IS 2345678 TIMES BETTER THEN THAT CHEAP KOREAN ONE!!! i liked their voices in the korean version better though, much more energetic

its really easy to make a paypal account :yes and trustworthy too :D i pay all my online stuff with it~

i love how everyone was like kakkoiiiiii when they started playing the drums :roflmao :roflmao

2:15 omg Kahi's abs... I want her abs~


:yes Yes it is.


EDIT:

source: allkpop

meeeh, too bad I can't sing (or dance)

I'm still amazed with the drums even after a year

the news clip said they practiced 8 hours a day to get the routine and DAMN E-YOUNG REALLY IS TALENT hahah

Wow, this MV for bang! is 100x's better than the Korean version!

Can't wait to see the whole video once its out.

They are pretty talented with those drums. I'm amazed by it.

ahhahaha they got so surprised when they started playing the drums.
I think I saw UEE playing the drums!!!!!

^ yeah, UEE finally trained to learn them not too long ago. I guess Yiyoung learned to play the drums when she was training to join After School.

I don't care about the Happy pledis auditions, but I'm glad we've got some confirmation that Dambi will be having a comeback soon! it's been far too long since she released her flawless "the queen" mini.

also, the Red and Blue tracks will be out in less than twenty-four hours, so shouldn't we have gotten some teasers by now???

no teasers still!!!!! :(
will there even be an MV for the songs???

and omg..i didnt realize UEE wasnt in Let's Do It LOL!! it felt to me like a given that you know how to play the drums for Let's Do It if you were a members HAHAH

I can't imagine there not being videos for the units, but we've had no confirmation that there will be, so who knows... if Pledis is to be believed, the groups weren't even chosen until about a week ago, so I guess it wouldn't really be that surprising if they didn't have time to shoot two new videos.

edit: they DID film videos according to energywenkahi on Twitter, and (s)he's usually pretty reliable when it comes to After School news.

Ooo..going by that...we'll probably see their concept outfits in the videos itself..and hopefully a few other scenes..
Hopefully it'll all debut in about 14.5hours time :)

I don't have any doubt that we'll have videos. If they shot videos for Let's Do It and Let's Step Up, then we're DEFINITELY getting videos for Red and Blue.

teasers are out!

A.S. Blue:


A.S. Red:


OMG!!!!!

SERIOUSLY THEY HEARD MY PRAYERS!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trust them to tease at THIS hour of the day...12 more hours!!!!

omg, they are so promising !!!
i can't wait

EPIC *__________*

omg~~ I loooove the teasers~~ I want the full thing now.
Lizzy with glasses is soooo cute. I can't wait to hear more of AS RED's song!

A.S. Red's full single is out:




edit: Blue's is out, too:

^OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGG GONNA LISTEN TO IT NOOOOOOWWWWW~~

EDIT:

I love Wonder Boy. It reminds me of a Sailor Moon song~~ I love Sailor Moon :heart
I was expecting a bit more of In The Night Sky to be honest, not a song that I see with a sexy concept. I wish they would promote Hollywood instead because that song is awesome~~

Red's teaser was so misleading! that part of the song featured was just the middle 8, haha. I do like "In the Night Sky" a lot, though! "Wonder boy" is really sweet sounding without being overly cutesy. I lovelovelove it! I think "Lady" and "Hollywood" both have the full group singing, because I can definitely hear Jungah and Raina (and others) on both songs; both are really great.

also, how are you guys going to tag these tracks? After School Red/Blue, A.S. Red/Blue or just After School? I don't know how I'm going to do it yet... =/

^I'm gonna tag them as After School RED and After School BLUE and then I'll put them in my After School playlist :yes

the videos are private now D:

I'm gonna use AFTER SCHOOL RED / AFTER SCHOOL BLUE like on the covers xD.

they've been removed because the songs leaked seven hours earlier than they were supposed to; it's only quarter 'til six in Korea, and the songs weren't supposed to be released until midnight. they'll be reuploaded in a few hours... actually, someone will probably reupload before then.

Damn i missed all of it!!!!!!!!!! Now im totally freaking out =.=

^ check your PMs.

Here are the songs on tumblr if anyone wants them :)

After School RED


After School BLUE

Still listening to Red's song ~ I expected much better but this is okay too .. I'm on the Blue Team anyways :laugh

u rock!!

I LOVE A.S.BLUE SO MUCH !!!! WONDER BOY IS SO AMAZING!!! that cliff-hanger at the end was such a tease
A.S. RED'S song is NOT sexy at all...and it reminds me of SISTAR's Shady Girl..which im not very fond of..but still i'll listen to it more..AS bias :P
HOLLYWOOD AND LADY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think these an AFTER SCHOOL complete song :)

So which tag are you guys using ? I'm going with After School BLUE/RED because I use "After School" for the whole group

^ ooh so do I tag Lady and Hollywood as After School songs ? /confused

here's how I tagged mine:

Hollywood and Lady are sang by the whole group.

I think I'm going to go for After School Red/Blue for the title tracks, and After School for "Lady" and "Hollywood" since all eight members sing on those tracks.

Gonna change my tags right now :laugh

Will probably do that too..its by the whole band after all...songs in their other minis like Raina's solo, i tagged it as her..haha

I usually tagged the solo's on Virgin like this:

-시간에 기대어 (레이나 Solo)
-My Bell (정아 Solo)

As for the artist I tagged those as "After School" xD Maybe I'm just weird...

EDIT:

What is the best way to translate this Orange Caramel song? "이곳에 서서"
It's that remake of "the day you went away" but I'm not sure if that is what it means...

^ I have it tagged as 'Standing Here' but I got it from the wiki so it may not be right.

A.S. Blue's video has leaked, but it'll probably be taken down pretty soon, so watch while you can!

^It's a private video :(

Okay thank you~~ Google translator said the same thing :D

dang, that was faster than I expected. maybe Pledis will rush release the videos now that they've leaked. =/

edit: hopefully this one'll stick around for a bit longer:

omg I love E-Young's voice :heart And Joo sounds amazing too~~
They all sound amazing... omg I love it. The MV is so cute, I love their outfits. E-Young is so pretty.

ooooh I like these songs...

im so dissapointed with Red :weep :weep i expected a real upbeat, fun, FIERCE song but this is like shampoo part 2 D:

gonna watch Blue's mv now, hopefully i'll like that one better ;_;

i was expecting something different from red too but i don't mind this song . it's a little too similar to sistar's shady girl but that's what they get for using brave brothers :no i still like it enough tho :yes

ah no I don't like either omg T.T

Blue's Single > Red's Single imo :yes

HD "Wonder Boy" video:


A.S. Red's video is supposed to be released tomorrow.

Wonder Boy sounds identical to a song from DDR and i can't put my finger on it!
someone help! its a great song i love it! but it's familiar

WONDER BOY >>> IN THE NIGHT SKY (seriously...im still TRYING to get into the song..hopefully the MV will change my imrpession...Nana's voice doesnt suit the song)
makes me wonder if Brave Brothers are just keeping their better songs (if any) for Brave Girls...zzzzz

both songs (the promotional tracks) are ok. Honestly i was expecting more.
Anyway both singles are available now in the Downloads section

I wanted red team song to be super sexy

^ me too. I was expecting something like "AH" :p. I still like the song though, but imo AS BLUE's Wonder Boy is way more enjoyable. maybe the video for In The Night Sky will make me LOVE the song, I hope.

:yes Agreed. I'm quite dissapointed with Brave Brothers :bsigh

I'm downloading the singles now, yay!
so we're gonna use the After School RED/BLUE tags for the a-sides and After School for the b-sides right ? :D

the Wonder Boy MV is soooo cute :luv2

yay:heart ASBlue owned totally their concept
not impressed with ASred :( it sounds like something Sistar could do. i wanted something more fierce and sexy.

ah yesss so it's sistar! I always think AS Red's song reminded me of something XD
