fyafterschool also reported that Kahi was not involved in this upcoming mini album at all..so..I guess Kahi will end her After School career in Japan. Really weird i feel.

and LOL BEKAH IS SO HILARIOUS!!

credits: fyafterschool

Lol Bekah :roflmao She's hilarious!


Also, if you wanna send a message to Kahi, read this: http://fyafterschool.tumblr.com/post...oject-for-kahi
Be quick though, the deadline is June 10th!

Sad to hear Kahi is graduating from the group. She a good leader for AS. Its definitely will be weird not seeing her as part of the group anymore. I wondering if her age has anything to do on the decision. I think Jungah would be a good leader.

^ how old is she?

32 years old I believe. She was born in 1980.

^I'm pretty sure that her age is one of the main causes. SK idol industry is extremly youth-oriented. I guess it was okay as long as they went for a sexy strong concept, but with all these "softer" concepts (Shampoo, Lady Luck), her age somehow mattered again. Tbh I'm kind of happy that she goes solo. I liked her first effort and would personally love to see her putting out another strong release where she can make full use of her dancing skills :yes.

Yeah, she'll turn 32 years old this year (on December 25th)

Ah yes..but in Korea, she's 32. From the way they count it ahaha..

2HUNDRED39 MORE HOURS PLAYGIRLZ N PLAYBOYZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST TEASER PIC
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5...o1_r1_1280.jpg

omfg eyoung :thud:heart and kaeun looks perfect!!

HOLY OMGGGGGGGGGGG

AFTER SCHOOL BRINGS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NANA, LIZZY, JUYEON, EYOUNG!!!

Kaeun's face is kinda funny here HAHAHHA...and Raina's too
but OMG IM NOT COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!

OMFG SO PERFECT PERFECT! :heart
NANA <333333
It's just so... I can't even find the words to describe :laugh

(Raina and Ka Eun's faces do look a weird, but who cares!)

juyeon's forehead FINALLY makes its debut appearance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stunning picture of those stunners. But btw, what is it for? I'm a bit off. xD

:roflmao

For their Korean comeback on June 21st :yes

anyone able to name them from left to right on the promo picture? I know some of them, but still hard for me to put a name on every girl :D
I wanna learn their name before the comeback! I'm so hooked on them lately.. bought PLAYGIRLZ, Lady Luck/Dilly Dally, Virgin and RED, I'll get the rest next month ♥ as well as the new album for sure!

... little bit strange seeing them without Kahi.

Other than that: They look stunning. There's really no other girl group that is this hot and fierce. Now if the song is equally awesome, they might finally get popular again :luv2.

from left to right:
Jooyeon, Eyoung, Nana, Raina, Lizzy, Uee, Kaeun and Jungah

Looks super amazing!!! Can't wait for it!

OMG, Nana :heart
And Jungah looks so sad (maybe for Kahi, or because Kaeun is in front of her)

THE FIFTH MAXI SINGLE TITLED "FLASHBACK"!!!!!!!!!!!!

full tracklist

1. Rip Off
2. Flashback
3. Eyeline (透視) * Performed by 나나
4. 손목시계
5. Timeless *Performed by 정아, 레이나

So a Nana Solo and a Jungah and Raina duet?? :heart

korean version of Rip Off? Interesting, even though I would prefer only new songs, but it sounds nice so far!

Nana feels like the new leader O.O

I cant wait for the duet and Wristwatch which is a sad ballad!! After School's ballads have always been very very nice and Im looking forward to that.
I have no idea how Flashback will sound..I did a check on TEXU KIM the composer and found NOTHING lol..The choreographer on the the hand is VERY PROMISING..and he choreographed NU'EST FACE too :)

it would be nice if Nana was the new leader, but kinda unfair to the others no?
Well I must say I'm really looking for Flash Back ♥ Already pre-ordered it along with f(x)'s new release :)

One valid reason I can think why Nana is the leader could be that JungAh, Juyeon, Uee would probably be graduating in the next 2-3 years and Nana could very well stay on much longer to about 4-5 years...she's only 21/22 now. It'll be terrible to keep swapping out leaders. And Raina herself has Orange Caramel to lead..so...I guess..yea

^ that makes sense I guess :)
Well that would be nice, since Nana is my favorite now that Kahi's gone, followed by JungAh !=

i want Jungah or Jooyeon to be the leader :(
or maybe Uee? having the most popular member as leader could be good for AS

ugh, i need a mv teaser soon:laugh

who's the most popular by the way? I know a lot of people like Nana, but Idk.. I would be happy with either Jungah, Uee or Nana as the leader so I don't mind ♥

^The most popular is Uee. And after her i think it's Lizzy?

The teaser pic looks great.

Is the Jungah/Raina duet song "timeless" the same remake of Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini song that was remade by Zhang Li Yin and Junsu?

Im sure its an original song. I dont think they would cover a SM song lol

Really? I always thought the popularity was in this order

(Kahi)
Uie
Nana
Lizzy (she's gonna have a big popularity boost once she gets back on to Running Man in July)
Juyeon/JungA
Raina
E-young

it just feels to me that way..or maybe its largely because of my social circle.

and guys, do you think there will be more teasers coming daily??? I would love some individual concept photos or something entirely different too. Virgin had about 4 teasers of the generations of AS along with a tapdance teaser photo. Bang!...barely had any teaser cept the one where Lizzy's was an unknown. B.O.Y. had countdown D-7,D-6 teasers...I wonder what Pledis will do.
For Bang! & Shampoo, we got the MV teaser 3 days before.

==================

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

some of his songs:
Sunny Hill - Let's Talk About (feat. Zia)
IU - Cruel Fairy tale
Brown Eyed Girls - Love Action
Brown Eyed Girls - YOU
Brown Eyed Girls - My Style
Brown Eyed Girls - Candy Man
Ga-In - Nitchell (Baby-G Mix)
Ga-In - Ga-In

Also the guy making the choreography, Kyle Hanagimi, worked with Black Eyed Peas and other western artistes. In K-pop, he collaborated with NU'EST for Face.

Davichi and SG Wannabe cover the song also and they're from CCM. Either way, original song or not I'm pretty sure it'll be a good song from the two best vocalist of the group.

I think your popularity ranking is correct. Seems like the ones with acting and modeling skills the populist and the ones with musical talented is the least popular. lol.

^Uee is the most popular in korea because she's in a lot of CFs (she's on the top 5 of highest earning from CFs in korea :laugh) and in dramas too.
Kahi and Nana are the most popular among AS fans, but not with the general public.

OMG THAT GUY COMPOSED MIDNIGHT CIRCUS??? OMFG THEN I'M EXPECTING A FLAWLESS SONG

I just did a check. I dont think he is involved in MIDNIGHT CIRCUS but he composed "Let's Talk About" by Sunny Hill. I amended the above post.

^oh.. well it's ok:laugh he did cruel fairy tale and candy man :heart___:heart

LIZZY'S INDIVIDUAL FLASHBACK TEASER

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5...k5tao1_500.jpg

GURL ROCKS THE PRINTS OMG...she's become so modelesque!! and there i was thinking blonde doesnt suit her
and cleavage! gosh..

Nana is my favorite too~ Although I really want to see JungAh as the new leader, I think JungAh would be the best choice... but who knows. :D

Really? I thought UEE and Nana were the popular members.
I do know that Nana is really popular in Japan, right?

This. I love all the songs he composed!

:thud FLAWLESS~

wow :heart Lizzy looks so good :Q___
i'm so happy sexy AS is back ;A;

Lizzy looks amazing. I really love her hair :heart
I can't wait to see the pics of the other members!

She does look gorgeous! :o :o Love her hair ♥
Can't wait to see the others already!

edit: the verses of SLOW LOVE make the chorus really beautiful. The bridge is nice too. And Nana sounds sooo kiddy here. but..its definitely not a WOW song. Dilly Dally is just epic :)

^thank you! finally i can listen to Dilly Dally nonstop :heart
SLOW LOVE is nice, i like it <3

^I know right, only reason I've been waiting for this single is because of Dilly Dally!! "Ima sugu kiss me, mou ichido love me!!" Ahhh I love it!!

UIE'S TEASER

^OH MY GOD GODDESS UEE WHY SO FLAWLESS
PERFECT FLAWLESS AS ALWAYS THE BEST :heart___:heart

OMG UEE = FLAWLESS :heart :heart

I'm glad we finally have Dilly Dally in HQ. Can't wait to hear SLOW LOVE!

HOT.

I only hope that her right ankle and arm are photoshopped. Nothing against skinny, but there's a thin line between being "skinny" and "too thin".
(I'm saying that as someone who sometimes has to remind herself that idols have to be thinner than normal people and it's not necessary to be as thin as them to look good.)

My goodness. Uie teaser is hott.

They should just come out with a photobook for this single.

Tell Me really made me want to cry. I was tearing at the end already. Dear Kahi..her dreams came true. She'll end her Japanese career this Sunday...but definitely taking a step up in her Korean activities.

THIS IS SO GOOD

0:05 JUYEON HAS KILLED ME...
FIERCE IS TOTALLY RIGHT...DAMN
AS GONNA KILL (PLEASEEE >.<)

this is so perfect!!! I can't awiat!! XD

I wonder if they are gonna release anything for the next 3 days...just to tease. Anyone remembers?..and i have a feeling the single will leak a few hours before the official release but I'll wait for the epic video!

Lady Luck @ Music Japan

OMG THEY PERFORMED ON A PROPER MUSIC PROGRAMME FINALLY?!

edit: lol..wonder if there's a proper wan with no adjusted audio. nana sounds like a chipmunk HAHAHA
and i LOVE the closeups each member got!!!!!!

i loved all the closeups :heart and eyoung got a lot of screentime!!!!
still, i hate the purse choreo:o

I'm not sure if I like them with the overly cutesy J-pop songs.. not hating on cutesy stuff since I love a good cutesy concept and it's nice they're trying a different style than their usual but I don't think it works as well as their sexy/fierce concepts. soo excited they'll be returning to being sexy in Flashback :D

AFTERSCHOOL releasing a cute song and After School releasing a sexy song. I love them !!

Another music performance, now on Music Japan (the other one was not Music Japan, it was Happy Music!)



You can see a little clip with the girls making fake cupcakes or something like that, XD.

that clip was so nice to watch!!

IT'S AFTERSCHOOL's ENCORE CONCERT IN JAPAN TODAY!!! where Kahi will bid farewell to Japanese fans with her solo stage special. T.T
