OMG finally the rip of A is out. Been waiting on it since Tuesday when on I saw it on iTunes Japan. Was replaying the previews every day since. Can wait for them to be on Music Station, Happy Music, etc. The live here was cute and all but too short. I think it would look a lot better on a bigger stage.

at their handshake event today, Jisook said "Mach" would be their next Japanese single.

^ gah~ I thought it will be To Me..

Btw, congrats Rainbow to enter top 3 of Oricon chart :D

really?? i've never listened that song, it's gonna be something new for me!!! =)
or maybe not, i'm going to listen the korean song now, i'm so curious !!!.....edit.... I don't like Mach, i mean, it's ok, but Gossip Girl, To Me, Sweet Dream are so much better

REALLY? MACH?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg, yes yes yes yes yes yes yes ASDFGHJKL!!!

finally! this song deserves a MV:luv2

Oh yes! MACH is awesome. And for B-Side, JPN version of KISS please :blove

YES!!! I love Kiss so much :heart

I'm just relieved Sweet Dream wasn't the next Japanese single. It's the only RAINBOW song I don't like.

BTW what are you guys tagging their Japanese releases as? I know the correct tag is RAINBOW, but I've been doing it in katakana since there's already a group (of ugly old men) named Rainbow and they have way more fans on Last.fm.

they ranked third for the week, and sold 24,082 copies. they now have the highest-ranking first week of any of the kpop girl groups who've debuted in Japan. their first week sales are only slightly lower than KARA's "Mister" (29,238, no. 5) as well.

^ That's amazing! I'm so happy to hear that :D

I hope the single's sales have longevity too, and that they only continue to gain momentum, rather than lose it. Hopefully Mach is even more successful.

Glad they ranked so high :D

I'm hoping for a Japanese version of To Me in the future :yes

^yes i want "To Me" too !!!!!
Oe oe oe oeoeeeee oe oe come come come to me!!!!

CANT WAIT FOR MACH PV!!!!!!!:luv2 :luv2

WOAH! im really happy for them :heart

did you guys know that woori got rapping lessons from outsider?? how freakin awesome is THAT! :laugh

yay! new perfomance of A in japan

I finally loved them :luv2:laugh

^^thanks, they are amazing and they look cute when they drink that milk ?

i am so happy for their success in Japan. they really deserve it!

HEY!³ 2011.10.10

NEED A PV PREVIEW SOON PLZ

love the 2nd and 3rd covers :heart

the covers are really cute :)

the 3 covers are pretty good !! I need a pv preview too

the Japanese "Mach" video teaser is out:

^omg, woori :3
pv looks quite simple, but still im glad we're getting one:heart

song sounds fantastic in japanese

the full video's already out!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! It's all just flash, like A, but that's exactly what I was hoping for. Their Japanese debut is just as good as KARA's was (the first two singles that is).

Really good PV, and is more sexy than A (at least for me)
I didn't like the song, but with the pv is growing on me a lot

So fast, i hope is an original japanese song or "To Me"

ORIGINAL SONG PLEASE!! :) OR TO ME OR SWEET DREAMS :) both are amazing songs

new teaser for rainbow pixie

gonna luv this sfm

^what is that ??
edit.................
It's a sub-unit trio from Rainbow (Jisook, Seungah and Hyunyoung)

I have a feeling that they'll invade my brain in orange caramel way XD

Hoi Hoi MV released
loving it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oUtxee1QM8

though the wigs and the white dresses SCREAM LADY GAGA old school badly T_T

Woha that was very Orange Caramel-esque .. The song is okay but it still has to grow on me.

the song is OK. And they look cute

Cute MV, and song is okay :yes
the part in the girls' room reminded me about secret's shy boy lol but that's just a coincidence I believe

so i'm the only one loving the song?:laugh omg specially the bridge part:thud

^ no no! I'm digging the song as well :)

^My very first thought while watching the MV.
The MV is really cute, I really like these three together. My favorite scene must be the one with the white & pink wigs.
The song itself is OK, I can't really say much yet. :)

New Japanese single "GONNA GO!" on March 7th:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B006GHC2UC/
http://blog.visualglow.com/post/1746...se-information

Excited :)

I don't know much about their Korean discography, but I've never heard of a Korean GONNA GO before so is this an original Japanese single ? do correct me if I'm wrong please :)

Yeah, it's their first original Japanese song, they might have a remake of one of their Korean songs as a b-side but only the a-side has been announced so far.

yes, i think is a new original song !!!
i can't wait !!

^^woah cool, so excited now, I hope it'll be a great track! I don't mind the remake b-side lol GONNA GO is all I need XD

new song? great:heart finally they make a brand new song

WOOT BRAND NEW SONG! :D yay

Covers for GONNA GO! are out:

http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.co....html#comments

Not bad, I think I like the 2nd one the best.

I like the second cover a lot,
the last one reminds me so much of Kara's Jet Coaster love pictures

http://www.google.ca/imgres?q=kara+j...t:429,r:15,s:0

I never have anything negative to say about RAINBOW, but those covers are pretty awful. They look cheap and tacky and actually make me scared about how the song will sound. I like RAINBOW because they've always put out great sexy dance songs, but these covers have me scared DSP will just turn them into a KARA clone to increase sales. The "RAINBOW" logo looks hideous too.

Looks like the tracklist is out now: http://store.universal-music.co.jp/f...ow_um/umck9467

I think "Hello" is a new song. From what I can tell Hoi Hoi will be a bonus track on the CD only version.

omg exactly! .__.

and well at least we're getting an original Japanese single, with a new b-side as well.. I just hope it'll turn out good

ガナガナGO! (Teaser)


I'm glad isn't a cute song !! It sounds nice

it sounds just ok to me, thanks for sharing :3

Yeahhh this is pretty much my take on Gonna Go so far, it sounds ok. I guess I'll judge when the full song leaks.

ガナガナＧＯ (Radio Rip)


The quality isn't the best, but i like the song even in bad quality, XD

it's a good song! but I'm kind of sad their going into the sort of obvious k-pop genre they used to still do really catchy and commercial music but they always had something interesting and new with it, now it seems very generic, catchy none the less

video's out:


also: they'll be releasing their first full-length album, "OVER THE RAINBOW," on 3/28.

What ???? A japanese album !! So fast !
Yay !!!! So happy, i hope they can release an OS press

The PV is really good, they look so beautiful !! :heart
And i love the song already

I like the music video, I feel like they didn't go the cute route like Kara but went for a stronger image, and I like that! but as a T-ara stan I can't help but feel that certain moments and moves remind me of I Go Crazy Because of You lives and MV

covers and tracklist for their Japanese album are out:

http://i42.tinypic.com/t0i62a.jpg

06. Alright
07. ノット ユア ガール (NOT YOUR GIRL)
08. エナジー (ENERGY)
09. Hello
10. ゴシップガール (GOSSIP GIRL)

cr: visualglow

Only 10 songs, oh well, i hope the songs are good.
And the CD+DVD cover is really nice, the other cover is just boring and a typical Rainbow cover,XD (The outfits are from GGG! PV, i guess)

Their Japanese album covers are just not my thing lol

That's a short tracklist with lots of old tracks eh, the new songs gotta be good, I wish.

so just listened to the album. Touch me, Feel me, Love me is such a beautiful ballad. Alright & Energy are also fantastic. Kiss! Kiss! Disco! was kind of bland, but still listenable. out of all the tracks the only one i'll skip is Not Your Girl. this album has so many fun tracks~

I hope there are still Rainbow fans active here :D

They recently made a comeback with a new mini album, Innocent, and the title song is called 'Black Swan'.



MV making



Jacket shooting



Comeback performances:

^Do you like the song and MV?
In my case, I adore the MV, they're so sexy, dark and classy and fits the song well.
The song is good, but isn't catchy at all.

Anyway, this is better than Tell me and Sunshine.

^I'm glad DSP decided to drop the cutesy concepts... I love the MV, it's beautiful, like you said: sexy and classy :yes Imo Jaekyung looks beautiful here. I do wish they gave Woori a bigger rap part but maybe that's because she's my bias :laugh

Love the song as well, though it's not as catchy as A or Mach imo.

[sorry for the double post]

They will release their 4th mini on February 15th. It's called 'PRISM'

If its anything like Black Swan, I'm in. I don't like their cute stuff.

MV teaser


EDIT:

It's already the 15th in Korea right now, but no MV or album yet. I wonder when they'll release it.
Maybe around noon (Korean time)?

We have to wait maybe another 2-3 hours.

At least it's not as bad as Tell me tell me and Sunshine. The MV is nice though. Yoonhye and Noeul. And Woori's rap :heart

At first I didn't like it, but now I think it's a nice release, something that isn't very cute nor very sexy.

If we compare Black Swan MV to this one, this one is very cheap.

:weep

But honestly, maybe it's for the best. DSP never cared for them anyway.

^Exactly, I'm sad, but I'm happy too because they left that horrid company.
They didn't lose a single member in 7 years, they were talented, beautiful and very loyal.
Good luck girls !!
Jaekyung you were one of the best k-pop leaders.

I was pretty shocked but relieved that they decided to leave DSP. :headache

It reminds me when Jisook mentioned in Y-STAR Rainbow Special that if their album did not do well, She and Jaekyung will open a nail salon :laugh but that was around the release 'A' and they did very well.
