MissElin_ 7th March 2012 09:09 AM

I like it that they kept Shanghai Romance just like the original. It's really addicting and fun as it is!

miroro 7th March 2012 10:41 AM

i still don't understand why they remade shanghai romance ;_; they should have make aing:luv2
i hope we get a leak this weekend <3

y_nathz 7th March 2012 12:36 PM

^well maybe because it's the most recent anyway xD

bondingo 7th March 2012 12:50 PM

Wow. This album is frive million times better than the crap that was Virgin. I'm so happy I preordered this. Why can't their ratio of good Korean songs to bad ones be as good as with their Japanese releases?

I personally love Virgin and think that this Japanese album, except for the Japanese remakes and maybe one or two original songs, is complete crap. I wish the album WAS more like Virgin. To say the least, I'm disappointed.

Exactly. I loved them from their debut with AH! and that was the group and style I fell in love with. They've been changing it up over and over again in Korea until that mid-tempo ballady mess of an album, but now we have the true AS back for their Japanese debut and I'm happy to say this will definitely be the Korean album I never got from them.

I agree with you and am disappointed as well. The songs are nice but there is nothing exceptional or standout about them. Although I kind of expected this, I was still hopeful as I've found myself wanting to be a fan of them because I think they're talented in more than just singing (like their drum playing and tap dancing). The album sounds very average. I'm not very impressed with their Korean discography (I like a handful of songs) so I was hoping that I would like their Japanese music better. Unfortunately that didn't turn out to be the case.

CoriKaru 14th March 2012 04:26 AM

I haven't listened to the Album yet. Not in a rush. But I am rather disappointed that my gateway drug (After School) into Korean Music is slowly but surely getting pushed to the back burner in lieu of other acts that I have exponentially become way more fond of. They've become so disappointing.

And what kind of promotion has this bloody mess been? 1 performance and that was chopped up into pitiful giblets and bits and lip synced to Perfume proportions.

It's like, how long can I not like what you're doing before I have to face reality?

*COUGHAreYouListeningPerfumeCOUGH*

dreamland2.0 14th March 2012 05:16 AM

I think both their Korean album and this new one are great LOL

adantatu2 14th March 2012 06:08 AM

I really like this album, i love almost every song :heart

freedreamer 14th March 2012 06:17 AM

Tell me is so gorgeous!! I wont compare their Korean and Japanese works because it's bviously kept seperately. thats the idea with all the korean remakes sounding different anyway. But yes, I thought with these music, they'd sound more edgy but their vocals are still on the softer side. I tihnk AS needs more unique and less girly vocals LOL...but i cant hope for much. I still love them!!! (suprisingly Miss Futuristic is entertaining)

I have to agree.... I keep going back to their first 3 songs which have been their best everything else is just so average, except in the night sky T_T that was a small return to thier amazingness

CoriKaru 14th March 2012 07:14 AM

^YES. Even though "In The Night Sky" belongs to After School RED, it IS the last best thing they did AND the last thing that I bought from them. I've started listening to it again after a break from wearing it out. It was THE SONG of Summer 2011 and would have been THE SONG of the entire 2011 until "The Boys" came out. Now had I known about "Mr. Simple" back then, "The Boys" would have had some steep competition.

freedreamer 14th March 2012 07:41 AM

haha..for me, i didnt enjoy In The Night Sky because it sounded too similar to SISTAR's Shady Girl which I didnt like..and i wondered by Brave Bros is producing songs like that compared to the amazingness he did with AH, Diva and Because of You >.<

+1. I personally didn't find "In The Night Sky" amazing, but I did enjoy it a lot more than their other songs. They have yet to top or even come close to their very first songs. If their music had continued to go in the direction they started with, I would have definetely been a fan.

miroro 14th March 2012 03:13 PM

ugh, japanese album was fantastic :thud
all the new songs are GREAT (specially miss futuristic and tell me)!!! and i loved all the singles, so for me the album was perfect:laugh

After School’s album “PLAYGIRLZ” debuts at #6 on the Oricon music chart, with around 13000-11000k via @Tabo0
not bad for a album that has not much promotion on the music itself..no performances >.<

adantatu2 15th March 2012 05:15 AM

PLAYGIRLZ #6, not bad at all, i hope a top 5 for AS.
I don't see them performing on music shows (like Coming Soon!, Happy Music, Music Fair, CDTV, etc). I wonder why

miroro 15th March 2012 08:30 AM

^because avex is using AS as models and not as singers. All the promos they do are in fashion shows and magazines :o
i wish the signed with other company :(

y_nathz 15th March 2012 12:18 PM

oh Avex, these girls are good live performers to me *though uee sounded off in lives, kinda* give them a chance to prove it to Japan!

#6 is not bad! I hope they could climb up to #5 tho! :D

AyuHamasaki01 15th March 2012 08:19 PM

I'm gonna listen to the album tonight.

mobius 18th March 2012 03:51 AM

So far to me, Playgirlz album is good but I don't think its as good as Virgin album. I'm so use to listening to the Korean version so the Japanese remake songs still sounds a little odd to me. The other songs that weren't remakes has some Ami Suzuki vibes to it. lol. I have to give it little more plays for me to get use to this album.

CoriKaru 20th March 2012 11:24 AM

It sounds boring, but is just a preview.
I hope isn't an a-side of a single

at least it's nice to see kahi rapping with her normal voice again!!

adantatu2 5th April 2012 09:50 PM

Honestly i want a japanese version of Ah! :innocent
instead of girly and soft new songs.
Or at least a new korean version with the 8 girls

REXENA BTS AND CM AT THE END
DILLY DALLY SOUNDS REALLY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much better as an A-side than Rambling Girls imo..
and the dancing in the CF looks fierce :)
lots of Nana hahaha..she popularity in Japan is skyrocketing


love in music 8th April 2012 10:55 AM

they look awesome! especially Nana. she is so beautiful.
btw, i actually prefer Nana's voice over all of them. i know it's not close to being the strongest but it is just so cute :D i like that we can hear her more in the teaser.

freedreamer 8th April 2012 12:19 PM

With Nana's popularity in Japan now, I think they'll allocate more liens to her..esp from that teaser, she's singing the CHORUS over Raina.. O.O
and maybe this will be the best time to cash in on Orange Caramel in Japan..lol

miroro 8th April 2012 01:03 PM

the song sounds promising!!! i'm glad they' changing a little not giving raina the chorus :luv2

freedreamer 8th April 2012 01:24 PM

E-young and Lizzy needs more lines. it's not like they cant sing or have a weak voice. We've heard them belt higher notes

AyuHamasaki01 8th April 2012 03:30 PM

I actually miss UEE and Lizzy's long hair. And Nana is so pretty~ I can't wait to hear the full song in HQ, it sounds awesome!

dreamland2.0 8th April 2012 05:51 PM

Sounds like it's going to be really good!!

CoriKaru 9th April 2012 10:55 AM

1. Armpits are so nasty. What a way to promote it though. Opening shot: Armpits in my face.

2. Like the song.

3. You can't even see U-ie's armpits in this commercial she's pushed so far into the back. Mistake.

"Hello all PLAYGIRLZ, this is Pledis.

Girl group After School debuted in 2009, and has constantly put on fierce performances, developing and growing as a group with the addition of UEE, Yiyoung, and as sub unit Orange Caramel.

With each new member, After School displayed various different appeals and did not fall short of our expectations of them.

This coming May, After School will be welcoming a new member. Detailed information will be revealed tomorrow morning at 7AM through media outlets.

But as a way to thank PLAYGIRLZ for all of your continuous love and support, we wanted to make sure we broke the news to you first before it was released in the media.

We hope that you will warmly welcome our newest member who will be attempting her newest challenge as a member of After School, and we hope that you will look forward to a new and transformed After School.

We Pledis will work hard so that the girls will be strengthened by your love, consistently showing improvement as artists.

Thank you.“
