but the staff thought the song wasn't good enough to be released so they cancelled it

- Raina says that AS may not be making a korean comeback this year

- Ex-leader Kahi wants to re-join AS (Rumour)


adantatu2 12th September 2014 11:11 PM

^Thanks for the new thread and for the news !!!
I thought they were over in Japan, but I can't wait for a new single (I hope isn't something like Shh).
And new subunit ? I hope E-Young is in that subunit !!!!

freedreamer 13th September 2014 04:45 AM

omg new subunit!?!?!? I hope its not just restricted to Japan ><

and i hope they release the song they practice as a 2nd A-track

visionfactory 14th September 2014 06:34 PM

I've never seen the Crazy Driver live!


They're actually singing live in Diva

freedreamer 14th September 2014 07:28 PM

Kaeun owned Diva! HAHA

AyuHamasaki01 14th September 2014 07:48 PM

A new subunit?! omg.

I hope Kahi will rejoin After School :heart

Gustavopc 14th September 2014 07:51 PM

Yeeees, these are great news :heart

Celaphorce 15th September 2014 06:02 AM

The only thing I'm really crossing my fingers for is the rumor of Kahi wanting to come back to After School after all it really is "HER" group and I'd love to see her back in the leadership role not that anything is wrong with Jungah I just feel like a Korean comeback with Kahi in the mix will bring After School back to what it was!! And hmmm a new subunit not sure what to think but I'll be anticipating it, they just need to give me something new...and fast I wasn't all that impressed with Dress To Kill.

visionfactory 26th September 2014 06:12 PM

I'm suspecting the name of the new song might be SHINE because the staff just tweeted "SHINE" and you know the title "dress to SHINE" too

AyuHamasaki01 28th September 2014 05:58 PM

Raina will be releasing a solo single!

Nana next please

adantatu2 29th September 2014 01:33 AM

Her collaboration with San E was really good and succesful, I can't wait

ayu_ready? 29th September 2014 05:50 PM

omo

inthezone 29th September 2014 07:04 PM

Korean comeback please...

visionfactory 30th September 2014 01:26 AM

JungA, Uee and Kaeun are rehearsing together, it's possible that they're the new unit

If that's so it will be a sexy unit like A.S. RED

adantatu2 30th September 2014 06:05 AM

If that's true, poor E-Young : (

visionfactory 30th September 2014 07:14 AM

^And Juyeon! XD

AyuHamasaki01 30th September 2014 07:24 PM

Why do they even bother with UEE?

Poor Jooyeon and E-young indeed.

visionfactory 6th October 2014 11:54 PM

Dress to SHINE promo (Ms.Independent & rock it! live extract)

freedreamer 7th October 2014 03:40 AM

NOOOO Kaeun and E-young should be in the unit omg..what r they doing to E-Young!!! honestly if they promoted her well enough, i think she can be like JUNIEL or a more subtle IU

adantatu2 7th October 2014 07:07 AM

Korean companies are a mess with their idols !!!

ayu_ready? 7th October 2014 10:07 AM

New Raina MV teaser is out. I guess it's a hearbreak ballad

AyuHamasaki01 7th October 2014 02:07 PM


visionfactory 7th October 2014 06:21 PM

^Poor Raina, maybe I will listen to the song now :P

ayu_ready? 8th October 2014 10:38 AM

I like the song and the MV but I doubt she can win any shows with it :)

AyuHamasaki01 8th October 2014 02:42 PM



Nice song. I'm not sure how I feel about the rap parts though...

Here's the other track from the single:


freedreamer 8th October 2014 02:44 PM

i kinda like the song?? hahahah they are totally building her solo from the Midsummer's duet with San E. The relaxing style is so similar and we know Raina has done solos far more pop than this

Utena 8th October 2014 03:33 PM

I like the song but it's not really doing it for me.
I rather prefer the other single song, much better IMO.

visionfactory 8th October 2014 06:11 PM

The rap ruins the song for me :/

RikkuK 8th October 2014 07:41 PM

The rap was the worst part of midsummer whatever. She has had so much surgery tho Asian music is so sad plastic surgery is insanely rampant

visionfactory 9th October 2014 02:01 AM

【AFTERSCHOOL JAPAN TOUR 2014】

From Staff

AFTERSCHOOL will reveal a new song during our Japan tour this ★ November

Now UEE is on the studio in recording process for that song!

Everyone, please look forward to it

edit:

Another post about Jungah making some decisions, there is this unreleased picture on her back (Tried to get a clearer pic with photoshop)

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps4ad27e24.jpg

Cover?

freedreamer 9th October 2014 07:46 AM

decisions :O
o dear...

AyuHamasaki01 9th October 2014 03:33 PM

^My thoughts exactly.

visionfactory 9th October 2014 06:16 PM

It didn't seem any important decision by the way!! I imagine she was choosing like the setlist, the stage style or some random decision like that XD

visionfactory 11th October 2014 02:58 AM

Is it Kahi? She's with shortcut right now http://instagram.com/imisskahi

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps3ab83946.jpg

【AFTERSCHOOL JAPAN TOUR 2014】

In shock!!
Who is this person on the studio recording for our new song?
Ladies and gentleman guess yourself!!

Celaphorce 12th October 2014 06:48 AM

If kahi rejoined after school I'm gonna flip a biscuit!!! Maybe that was jungahs decision whether it not to let kahi rejoin...

adantatu2 13th October 2014 01:04 AM

I don't think so, she doesn't look like Kahi, I think is a new member

ahtka-chan 13th October 2014 03:23 AM

I love Kahi, but I really hope she's not rejoining After School.

That would be much of a retrocess...

New member!? :shakehead you know the tour it's the perfect time for introducing a new member, graduating UEE from Afterschool so she only has to focus on the activities of the new subunit

Both Kahi and new members seem interesting options for me :mischief

RikkuK 14th October 2014 05:13 AM

I'm so sad at how bad Raina's single is D:

Superwoman is so good I don't understand.

visionfactory 16th October 2014 05:52 PM

It was Juyeon :/

AyuHamasaki01 16th October 2014 07:56 PM

^ Oh :(

adantatu2 16th October 2014 11:04 PM

I thought it was E-young

visionfactory 30th October 2014 03:41 PM

Teaser

http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps638bb067.png

Seems like a slow song but the pics look promising!! :heart

AyuHamasaki01 30th October 2014 07:12 PM

^Looks like E-young, Jooyeon and Kaeun?

visionfactory 30th October 2014 08:03 PM

^The middle one looks like Nana's chin, don't you think?

It is sad that there is not a single trace of Jung-Ah...

adantatu2 31st October 2014 12:02 AM

Teaser for what, the new japanese single ?

visionfactory 31st October 2014 01:25 AM

Teaser for new single, new sub-unit, new floral aromatherapy tie-in CM

I don't know, they are just teasing us :yconfused

visionfactory 31st October 2014 06:30 PM

They made my day :D I freaking love this


Also! Watch till the very end

AyuHamasaki01 1st November 2014 07:52 PM

^Doesn't seem like the audio is live? Except for Raina's part at 3:13.

freedreamer 2nd November 2014 03:27 AM

what's with the upcoming? LOL

visionfactory 2nd November 2014 04:37 AM

^I think the audio of the "upcoming" goes well with the teaser pic

ahtka-chan 2nd November 2014 05:58 AM

^The audio of that part is from the outro of their last japanese album, it's not a new song

visionfactory 2nd November 2014 05:04 PM

Really lol I don't listen to the interludes

visionfactory 11th November 2014 10:13 PM

We know now that the lenght of the new song is 03:36

Thanks to their unprofessional staff lol

visionfactory 13th November 2014 05:24 PM

Song preview


Sounds okay so far, I'd love it if Raina gets more screaming solos

visionfactory 18th November 2014 03:36 AM

MARUKO CM feat. SHINE


freedreamer 18th November 2014 05:11 AM

that CM's effects were really nice!!

visionfactory 19th November 2014 05:02 AM



*dissapointed*

adantatu2 19th November 2014 05:12 AM

It sounds like a song from a generic British girlgroup, ugh !!

visionfactory 20th November 2014 08:41 PM

Juyeon Instagram Update:

http://instagram.com/p/vnQZlrLF9d/?modal=true
"Why is Uee and me crying?"

:tired

Uee is AS for korean
Juyeon is AS for japanese

What is left for AS if they leave?

thinkingoutloud89 20th November 2014 11:54 PM

^Nana <3

freedreamer 21st November 2014 02:14 AM

UEE has been so absent I dun even see her as part of AS anymore
Juyeon, image wise she is one of the faces for AS in Japan but I think Nana has overshone them on both sides handsdown

coz a double graduation (IF IT HAPPENS) could mean a double addition and Yooara and Yoonjo can finally be back at where they belong :)

Gustavopc 21st November 2014 02:32 AM

The new song is so "b-side-ish" :/ Not sure how I feel about it, the instrumental ain't that great and the verses sound a bit unpolished to me

new subunit called IYOKAN (?) sounds like a mash of Eyoung and Kaeun's name pronunciations LOL

https://scontent-b-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/...86&oe=54D76BD7

AyuHamasaki01 24th November 2014 02:41 PM

Kind of strange that the tour opens with Orange Caramel and not the whole group...

visionfactory 24th November 2014 04:08 PM

I thought it was a mix of their names too but...!

IYOKAN:
A citrus fruit from Japan, with a more bitter taste than an orange

hahaha nice one :P

Gustavopc 24th November 2014 04:25 PM

Orange caramel and Iyokan, uh? I like that :laugh

That is pretty clever of them!

I have a very strong feeling now that we probably won't be getting anything cutesy from this subunit. I'm really excited to hear their song.

freedreamer 24th November 2014 06:36 PM

LOL MORE BITTER THAN ORANGE HAHAHA
omg that's super clever of them haha

adantatu2 25th November 2014 12:07 AM

I want a preview so bad !!!

visionfactory 26th November 2014 07:22 PM

Final day of Dress to SHINE
- Nana thanked Kaeun's mother for helping her mother to stay in Japan.
- Kaeun and Nana's mother were at the concert
- At the end they cried and couldn't sing Tell me properly (But they were lip synching so nobody could tell)
- The last parenthesis is not true lol

visionfactory 27th November 2014 09:00 PM

They performed....... with only...... 4 members

http://instagram.com/p/v3LwMtMmNK/?modal=true

lol

freedreamer 28th November 2014 04:27 AM

WHUT...JungAh, EYoung, Kaeun and Juyeon..?!

adantatu2 28th November 2014 06:01 AM

Well, they are the member without a lot of solo activities, lol.
UEE is always busy with her dramas, varities and photoshoots.
Nana is busy with Orange Caramel, Roomate and she is busy being perfect in fashion magazines.
Raina has solo activities as a singer.
Lizzy is busy with some varities and she is busy with Orange Caramel too.

thinkingoutloud89 28th November 2014 10:37 AM

where is that performance from. shampoo isn't on the setlist

freedreamer 28th November 2014 12:09 PM

true..those 4 are the most free at this point...

Nana is set to star in a full Chinese drama btw

visionfactory 28th November 2014 05:04 PM

^Really!? OMG I hope they become succesful in China

Anyone knows where I can download the Japanese ver. of Flashback?

adantatu2 6th December 2014 01:34 AM

I think I posted a link, but I can't remember if I put the link in this thread or on the 10th thread

Why? lol i heard it and thought it was a fan cover

visionfactory 10th December 2014 12:06 AM

It's in the past thread,

I'm so excited they started playing kpop MVs on my local TV and today Let's Step Up + Shampoo was aired :) :D :)

And it's the first time I watch those PVs cause I only pay attention to their japanese stuff :P

Last week they played First Love ^_^

adantatu2 10th December 2014 12:29 AM

^That's nice !!

Gustavopc 10th December 2014 02:00 AM

I'll take a look on the other thread then, thanks!

And I kinda get what you mean by a cover, the mixing is kinda bad in it lol But I'm searching for it for a group of friends who usually dance Japanese ver. of Kpop songs on some Japanese festivals in my home city (I guess they think they're tricking older people into thinking they are actually into Japanese culture lol) and they liked the dance routine of Flashback, and said they might give it a try for a cover

visionfactory 16th December 2014 06:02 PM

Lizzy will make a solo debut next year! :D

got excited but I remember now I don't even like Raina's solo lol

AyuHamasaki01 16th December 2014 06:25 PM

^Wait what....?

adantatu2 16th December 2014 11:07 PM

I loved Raina collaboration with San E and the one with Kanto is nice too.

The best part is that Lizzy is going to be a TROT singer

AyuHamasaki01 17th December 2014 09:30 PM

I love Lizzy's solo songs and I love her voice :heart

RikkuK 18th December 2014 03:23 AM

Trot?

visionfactory 18th December 2014 05:43 AM

what

Lizzy is going to be part of a new unit with G.Na, Youngji (KARA) and So Hyun (4minute)

not that I'm complaining but all this attention to Lizzy came all of sudden!!

adantatu2 20th December 2014 02:12 AM

^But it's part of a TV show with Doni and Defcon, or not ?

visionfactory 20th December 2014 02:50 AM

^I don't know! what does that means?

adantatu2 20th December 2014 08:25 AM

^Do you speak Spanish, right?
