A.S. Red’s “In the Night Sky” MV will be released on 25th July.

from fyafterschool.

freedreamer 20th July 2011 02:48 PM

that's terribly long later.. =.=

y_nathz 20th July 2011 02:48 PM

I wish it could make me love the song more then

AyUta 20th July 2011 03:32 PM

omg, after school is awesome :luv2 bang in japanese is :heart and the four new songs are awesome too, especially red.

kahi! <3333333333

mobius 21st July 2011 02:18 AM

Out of the two singles I've listen to, I really digged the AS Red single more than AS Blue single. "In the Night Sky" is probably the best song of them all cause it sounds like something I'll listen to at the beach sippin on some pina colada. "Hollywood" was pretty descent. The downpoint is whers's the "sexy concept" at? lol. Its probably just going to be MV from watching the teaser.

As for AS Blue, the songs are a little too cutesy for me. I'm just not digging it.

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 21st July 2011 06:39 AM

Oh my freaking gosh. My favorite songs are In The Night Sky and Lady. I think both groups absolutely OWNED. They did soooo well, and I am so happy.

Quote:

Pledis responds to accusations of AS BLUE copying Fin.K.L.

After School’s new sub-unit AS Blue is caught in a controversy that allege they copied old school K-pop girl group, Fin.K.L.

AS Blue released their new song “Wonder Boy” on July 20th, and the song quickly garnered accusations of how it was too similar to Fin.K.L.’s 1999 hit song, “Forever Love“. Not only does the song have a similar concept, but the last line which states “Promise me” can also be found in Fin.K.L.’s work as well.

Pledis Entertainment explained,

It is true that we set Fin.K.L’s ‘Forever Love’ as the concept, since it had a huge ripple effect in the ’90s. However, we were only paying to the innocence and bubbly feel of ‘Forever Love’. We did not intend to cause a controversy over plagiarism.

‘Forever Love’ was able to receive much love because it had easy lyrics to sing along to and a fun melody. We wanted to recreate that positive effect through ‘Wonder Boy’.

‘Wonder Boy’ is a pop song that can be joyfully listened to, and is easy to sing along to. If you watch a performance, you will see that AS Blue has a own charm totally different from Fin.K.L’s.“

Unfortunately for AS Blue, their connection to Fin.K.L. isn’t the only controversy they have to face. The girls really sought to exude a sense of innocence in their image, but netizens were thrown off by how they donned white garter belts in the music video.

Many people are expressing that garter belts, often considered to be a sexy, if not racy fashion item, are inappropriate for AS Blue’s innocent and cute concept.

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 21st July 2011 09:01 PM

Omfg, seriously? Making a big deal out a concept, the words "promise me", and garter belts? Some people are just stupid. There's no reason for netizens to freak out. I liked the garter belts. Lol.

4minute Girl 21st July 2011 10:50 PM

the little pinky promise move lizzy does at the "promise me" part is the same move ok juhyun does in forever love too. that one part was really famous, kinda the way sohee's "omona" in tell me was. it was the first thing i thought of when i watched the wonder boy MV but to me it was obvious that they were paying homage or whatever you want to call it, and not plagiarizing anything. i'm pretty sure the article was just written based on 4 or 5 troll comments like most "netizen opinion" articles lol

JackieRos 22nd July 2011 12:37 AM

the garter belts look super cute to me

drewbilation 22nd July 2011 01:08 AM

a short, two minute segment on After School aired on Mexican TV yesterday:

adantatu2 22nd July 2011 05:37 AM

^i love that tv show, they show 90 seconds of some random kpop group or artist every wednesday. When i saw them, i was really excited, but he said wrong info about them.
In the comments of the video, a fan said that the Pledis leader saw the video, and he wants to know what the tv show said! I can imagine After School in Latin american countries, it's a dream, but who knows !
sorry for any mistake with my english, i hope you can understand what im triying to say, lol XD

AyUta 23rd July 2011 04:48 AM

Wow, that's cool. I wish america did something like that. one of the tv shows here at least.

JackieRos 23rd July 2011 05:00 AM

^they do that in mnet

AyUta 23rd July 2011 05:14 AM

^ well, something more easier to get to. like the good morning america or the today show :yes

drewbilation 23rd July 2011 09:08 AM

comeback stages:


maze 23rd July 2011 10:17 AM

omg all the girls are looking so gorgeous :luv2 In The Night Sky is growing on me a lot!

freedreamer 23rd July 2011 11:55 AM

WHY DID THEY LOWER THE KEY FOR A.S. BLUE'S PERFORMANCE?!?!?!? AND THE SONG IS EDITED BEYOND RECOGNITION! WHERE'S E-YOUNG'S PARTS?!

and RED's performance was quite awkward..the song REALLY DOESNT SUIT omg...

why m i feeling so letdown :(

AyuHamasaki01 23rd July 2011 06:02 PM

were those comeback performances pre recorded?

I still don't see how RED's song fits the sexy concept. The dance was nice though. I wish Jungah did more adlibbing.
I wanted to see more E-Young too~~

drewbilation 23rd July 2011 06:33 PM

^ yeah, they were. A.S. Red apparently performed in front of some fans, but A.S. Blue prerecorded their performance without an audience.

adantatu2 23rd July 2011 07:49 PM

i think we can see the full pv for Bang! this monday

AyuHamasaki01 24th July 2011 08:14 AM

omgggg I can't wait for the Bang! MV. I really want to know who took over Bekah's rap (Nana or Kahi, I'm hoping it's Kahi)!

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 24th July 2011 08:53 AM

can't wait <3

y_nathz 24th July 2011 12:29 PM

AyUta 24th July 2011 05:16 PM

unedited photos of AS RED, so amazing...look at those abs :thud

http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...5/untitled.png

thanks to ningin for the photo.

AyuHamasaki01 24th July 2011 05:22 PM

I want Kahi's abs :scry

drewbilation 24th July 2011 06:54 PM

where is A.S. Red's video? I thought it was meant to be out at midnight on the 25th... it's almost 3 a.m. in Korea now!

AyuHamasaki01 24th July 2011 06:57 PM

3 AM in Korea? That means it's 3 AM in Japan too~ which means only a few more hours until the Japanese PV of Bang! airs :yatta

drewbilation 24th July 2011 07:05 PM

I'm sure we'll actually see that one first then, haha.

AyuHamasaki01 24th July 2011 07:08 PM

^:laugh Yeah probably.

EDIT: oooh I just read on fyafterschool that Lizzy is an only child. *makes note to self* Yeah, I'm always curious to know if celebrities have siblings :laugh

drewbilation 24th July 2011 11:33 PM

the "Bang!" video will air anytime within the next thirty minutes. hope someone gets it on YouTube right away!

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 24th July 2011 11:47 PM

what TV channel is In The Night Sky going to be on?

drewbilation 24th July 2011 11:55 PM

^ it'll probably just be put up on Pledis' YouTube channel like "Wonder boy" was. it may debut on GomTV or Naver or something first, though, but those aren't really TV channels.

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 25th July 2011 12:22 AM

Would they put it on MNET?

drewbilation 25th July 2011 02:22 AM

I have no idea, but I would assume it would be released everywhere at the same time.

gifs/captures of the "Bang!" video are all over Tumblr now, but the video itself hasn't been uploaded anywhere yet =(

bondingo 25th July 2011 02:23 AM

WHERE IS IT?! :cry

drewbilation 25th July 2011 02:38 AM

trapped in the laptop of a very cruel person!

freedreamer 25th July 2011 05:25 AM

OMG BANG!'S MV!!! I CANT WAIT!!!! and of coz In The Night Sky's MV

adantatu2 25th July 2011 05:28 AM

i think i have to wait till tomorrow !!
good night

drewbilation 25th July 2011 06:01 AM

just watched the Japanese video, and the line distribution has been changed a bit; Nana now gets Kahi's line in the second verse, Lizzy and Yiyoung share a line, UEE gets Raina's first line in the middle 8 and Kahi does the rap.

edit:

AyuHamasaki01 25th July 2011 09:58 AM

I'm so glad Kahi got the rap part. The rap does sound a bit weird but oh well :D And Lizzy got the "Crisp, clean, original, new quality ......" part!

I love the MV. The new arrangement is awesome.

Someone please make a PV-rip :eyes

ハート〜ブレーカ♥ 25th July 2011 10:04 AM

I'll be honest, maybe Jung Ah should have done Bekah's rap. When she said "1, 2, 3" it sounded like her English was ALOT better than Kahi's. Don't get me wrong, I love Kahi and her rapping, but it should have been someone with better English.

AyuHamasaki01 25th July 2011 10:09 AM

^ Watch this video:



As one of the comments said "LMAO @ Jung Ah. As soon as she heard "this is everyday english" she bolted for the back of the line XD!! She was like, "English? Oh hell no!!" lol"

freedreamer 25th July 2011 12:46 PM

I love the PV so much!! yes Kahi does have an accent but OMG I LOVE LIZZY'S RAP PARTS!!!!!!!! >.<
Nana looks mighty fine in the PV :P

where is A.S. RED'S MV!!!!!!!!!!

Aspen 25th July 2011 01:51 PM

As already mentioned, Kahi's rap sound weird. I like the MV, not feeling the pink outfits at the beginning, I prefer the red ones (way hotter). Also, it feels like it was mainly Kahi, Nana & Uee, but not complaining bc they look great :love.

AyuHamasaki01 25th July 2011 02:24 PM

I'm trying to upload the MV now~ ^_^ Let's hope the uploadsites are nice to me today!

EDIT: They haven't been really nice to me so far (¬_¬)

EDIT II: Download the PV here: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...74#post2723174

^You'll learn! Don't worry. I took me a really long time to tell the members of kpop group Rainbow apart. It was so difficult for me xD

After School's Kahi accident on the motorbike. Avoid a crisis.

After School RED’s title song “In the Night Sky” MV was released.

After School RED’s title song “In the Night Sky” MV was released on the 26th through their agency’s homepage (www.pledis.co.kr). The MV had brought in explosive reactions and high view counts from the fans.

In particular, the members Kahi, Jungah, Uie and Nana’s Californian Hippie concept outfits and MV set of a vast desert during sunset was impressive. Kahi and Jungah had personally rode the motorbikes and sped down the highway, showing After School’s impressive energy.

An official from the agency said: “During the filming, when Kahi was filming on the motorbike, she almost crashed into a truck. But Kahi’s own swift reactions made her escape from the possible accident and finished the shoot without anymore accidents. The motorbike that weight 300KG left her slight abrasions after falling from it but after a short break, she is able to complete the filming.”

The official said “Rather than an usual MV filming, it feels like a cool and happy filming trip that the members enjoyed and had been wanting for a long time, a trip out to a vast field. After School is able to portray a relax and comfortable energy to everyone.”

After School is currently promoting in their new units, After School RED and BLUE. They will release their first Japanese single “BANG!” on the 17th of August. They will be carrying out promotions in both Korea and Japan at the same time.

After School to end unit promotions early

Although the two sub-units of After School, AS Red and AS Blue, have just started promotions for “In the Night Sky” and “Wonder Boy“, Pledis Entertainment has revealed that the group will be ending their promotions as early as next week in order to prepare for their Japanese debut.

It’s slightly disappointing for the members, but we will be promoting until approximately next week,” said a representative for After School. “We’re planning on a diverse range of promotions for their Japanese activities, including concerts and fashion shows. You’ll be able to see a new image for the track, “Bang!.”

AyUmIXx 27th July 2011 01:13 PM

wow..
i love AS RED more than BLUE hahaha..
BLUE is not bad though..they are all so cute..
good choices to place the members anyway...
and i actually hope that maybe pledis could just stick with these two sub units..
and orange caramel graduates as well haha..
i think BLUE is quite similar to orange caramel, right?

NANA is so freaking hot and sexy on In the night sky performance!

OH NO WHAT??
i just read it..
so there will be two weeks promotions for the sub units?
aishhh too badd~~~
