full pv of speed up is out!
|
While I do think that the video is nice because it is a completely different concept from their previous Japanese songs, I do have to admit that I am a bit underwhelmed with the video and even more so with the song. The song sounds very average and is quite boring compared to their previous releases. I hope that the MV and song for "Girls Power" is better. Here's the official teaser for "Girls Power"
|
usually KARA's songs grow on me after being underwhelmed at first listen, but I can't see Speed Up ever growing on me. i can't get used to that amount of autotune. there's so much it reminds me of the autotuned-to-death debut song by Girl's day.
but also if you try to ignore the autotune you're still left with a bland song that isn't catchy at all. if this is how they're going to do their sexy songs from now on i definitely prefer cute KARA. girl's power sounds a lot better and more fun, even if their voices are like the highest pitched ever lol. so i'm looking forward to that more, and hope they'll promote it more than Speed Up. |
Loved the PV!! And I really like the song it sounds great to me!
Ji Young is so gorgeous!!!!! |
lol forever cheap looking covers, and I think the song will grow on me later..
|
i'm liking the song more after listening to it again, but i don't think i'll love it because all that autotune in the chorus keeps annoying me
looking forward to girls' power, cute kara = perfection |
girls power PV!
one of their best PVs ever IMO! it's so cute and bright and fun. idk about the song in full, it's really cute but not sounding as good as their other cute songs. hopefully it will grow on me. it's a lot better than speed up though! |
nah they had better singles, not feeling Speed Up :(
|

|
I love the whole single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:love
|
Girl's Power is really nice! I like the bridge especially.
This single is really good! |
This is such a weird single for me
I like the songs but then I don't I guess I'm on the fence? On a more positive note, they all look beautiful in both PV's. I like Hara's bangs and Nicole looks hot. :luv2 |
Both songs are OK.Too much autotune on Speed Up and Girl's Power is a simple cute song, maybe they can grow on me later.
The pv's are really cool anyway |
KARA - Step (Japanese Version) Audio
While I typically prefer the Japanese versions of their Korean songs, this is an exception. The original sounds A LOT better than this version. It definetely did not transition as fluidly as songs such as "Mister" and "Jumping". I now understand why this is just a bonus track and not even a b-side track at the least. I personally don't see myself listening to it nearly as much as the Korean version. I'm sure it will grow on me in time because I love STEP but in my opinion, they could have left this in Korean and not made a Japanese version at all. Even if I had listened to the Japanese version first, I still think I would have prefer the Korean version. Overall, this single is not doing it for me at all and isn't nearly as strong as any of their previous Japanese singles. |
^Not really bad!!
But korean version is obviously better |
Does anyone know what's going on with KARA? It feels like forever since they released something. I miss them! :(
|
Me too! It's been too long since GP/SU and Step was forever ago. I think they're touring right now.
|
^ :yes, 1ST JAPAN TOUR 2012 「KARASIA」
There is a rip of the concert on the net now |
^Oh yeah I recently watched that! It was really entertaining :) I mean their live vocals really weren't that great but oh well, not that I was expecting them to be or anything :P. I really liked Speed Up live without the autotune though.. wish the normal version was more like that. Seungyeons "guilty" was sooo good! You guys have to see it if you haven't:
Probably my favorite besides Nicole's solo performances. Anyone know who sings that song originally? It is a cover, right? Either way that song is really awesome :yes I also loved their Jet Coaster Love/GO GO SUMMER outfits too, they were so cute! All the videos of the tour are on youtube. If you guys haven't seen it GO GO! You won't regret it! |
KARA will be releasing a Japanese mini-album in Japan on September 5th!

Apparently they are having a Korean comeback on August 20th!!!
I'm so excited! |
I can't wait !!!
|
am i the only one excited for their comeback?
i'm loving the teasers, especially nicole's one |
It looks really good, Nicole looks hot!!
|
No miroro, I am excited too :P
Complete teasers. JIYOUNG HARA GYURI NICOLE SEUNGYEON Only the group teaser to come :P |
I can't wait for Pandora :luv2
2 more days!! |
the teasers are really promising, they look really sexy
|
sd;lfkds;l i'm so excited for their comeback!! :D all of the teasers are awesome but nicoles was definitely my favorite. she is so hot! hope the song is something along the same lines as STEP in terms of fun and excitement and doesn't have much autotune or any at all.
|
yeah the teasers are just great!
|
I hope isn't another Speed Up song
|
^ I doubt it'll be as crap and uninspired as Speed Up. The bits we can hear in the teasers sound amazing! I think Pandora could be even better than Step.
|
Group teaser
2 days!! |
^asdfghjkl ;A;
omg it sounds so good |
I'm lovin it
|
wow, the group teaser is gorgeous
|
PANDORA is due to be released on 22 June 2012, 12.00PM KST (in 12 hrs time)
|
grrrr...WHY RELEASE IT WHEN IM IN SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!
anyway, this song is gonna slay so bad...im sure. It sounds so amazing already |
^ It will be 4am when it is released here in the UK
|
KARA(카라) - PANDORA(판도라) Music Video
|
I love the music video and the song :blove
|
Song wasnt what I expected but its not bad..LOVE THE STYLING!!!
|
Music video is great, expected but styling and colors are gorgeous ♥ As for the song, I really like it, it seems like it's a grower!
But the rest of the mini album is bad bad bad... :/ still buying it coz the girls look gorgeous and Pandora (song) is awesome. |
^ I Have to agree, unfortunately. All of their previous minis have been like this (poor album songs, amazing, addictive title song)
|
the album is dull and usual, Pandora is actually like the best song out of it. but it's not anything memorable or as cool as Jumping/Lupin or Step :(
|
I really liked the music in all of the teasers, but... it's not the same in the actual song haha.
i don't dislike it, and it's definitely a grower, but Step is still my jam. |
The video and song didn't impress me. They have done a lot better. It's not bad though, and is at least better than Speed Up. The rest of the mini album is a lot better imo. Idiot is cute lol
|
Quote:
I love the MV, is gorgeous, they look pretty and the song is growing on me (thanks to the MV) |
Korean teasers are horrible. I really wanted the album to include the music from this teaser, specifically the first 5 seconds:
I will include some other teasers that have better tracks than the actual song: |
According to fan-net, they will release a new Japanese single on October 17th :)
|
^thanks for the info, I want a surprise from them
|
^ Don't expect too much. Just saying, it will probably be PANDORA (Japanese Ver.) b/side Idiot (Japanese Ver.)
|
Honestly i'll be happy if the single is a japanese version of Pandora (i don't want cute songs)
|
I actually think KARA are better at cute songs than their sexy songs. With the exception of Jumping and STEP I think their cute songs are a lot better and a lot more fun.
|
Im so excited for KARA COLLECTION
but i wonder when they will release the Korean version of the songs as well... |
So 4/5 of the Kara Collection PV's are out, but I have no clue how to embed Dailymotion videos, so I'll just post the links below
Jiyoung - Wanna Do Gyuri - Daydream Hara - Secret Love Nicole (feat. Jinwoon from 2AM) - Lost I love them all :luv2:luv2:love |
Damn it!!! I don't have enought time to watch the videos now T____T
|
|
Love Jiyoung's song SO MUCHHHH
|
Anyone knoes the composers, arrangers for their new songs...coz these songs are really amazing. (more specifically to Jiyoung, Gyuri and Seungyeon)
|
Gyuri's song is my favourite.
Anyway, the new single is a new japanese song, and it's called "Electric Boy" The covers and more details here http://www.karaweb.jp/news/41416469.html And they will releasing the DVD/Blu-Ray for KARASIA More info and covers here http://www.karaweb.jp/news/41416471.html |
I love the font that they use for the KARASIA DVD/Blu-Ray covers. Is there a name for the font they used?
|
^I really want to know, the font is really cool
|
Electric boy teaser
So far not impressed by the song but the video looks nice, hopefully the full thing is better. |
The song sounds really nice so far and the video is cute!
|

I'd just like to point out for anyone who's interested that Girls Forever is now available on iTunes Japan. :)
Also, I saw Kara live at the SBS K-Pop Super Concert on Saturday and they were awesome! They really surprised me, I honestly didn't expect them to be as good as they were. The crowd went wild when they got on stage and they performed with so much energy and their dances were flawless. Nicole's family was in the audience, too. :heart |
Anyone has the MP3-320KBPS version of the album? All i can find are M4A rips ><
|
Try on KMC
|
Gonna download the album now!
|
I'm debating on whether I should buy Girl's Forever or Super Girl, any suggestions?
