Discuss!

I saw their "Brightest Star" PV yesterday and I just loveeeeed them! I can't find any music of them online though. I really like their music style and voices. The music style is a bit sort of like Yuna Ito but better! I hope avex is going to promote them well. They have so much potential!

^ I uploaded their second e.p. earlier today =D

I saw Brightest Star for download in J-KPOP Blog.
But I didnt download it.
I think I will try them.

They have such great voices <3 I also just say the Brightest Star PV and I loved the song!! Although that one members teeth..=|

^ Yeah, one of the members doesn't really have nice teeth... Oh well. At least she can sing well! :yes

I will try, they look hot! I'm so shallow. :x

BRIGHT have a couple magazine appearances coming up in the next month:

Sound samples are out for the album:

01. Theme of BRIGHT [ listen WMP ]
02. Brightest Star [ listen WMP ]
03. Girls Party Time [ listen WMP ]
04. Eternal Love [ listen WMP ]
05. Tears [ listen WMP ]
06. ORANGE [ listen WMP ]

I loved the PV and her voices are really amazing!!

They remind me the original lineup of Destiny's Child...

^ Really? I don't see it, haha.

Anyway, a pal sent me "Brightest e.p. 01" and it's so much better than the second e.p. imo. The "Brightest Star" on there, though, is a little different than the PV version.
