HYNA - The First Thread

[Kanzaki]

^^
I felt so bad after I'd written that because honestly she looks better than I'll ever do
The blonde hair and red lipstick was just a bit over the top for me, but it's the music that counts, so! And, well yeah, I really think this song is BUMPING It's not a classic masterpiece, but she's playful and it's a fresh beat. I love it!

Thanks for additional info Ayufan-!

^yeah the music counts, also i though in the pics I posted, she looked pretty hot, not cheap at all.
Though I prefer it little less ''sexyness'', i don't really like feeling uncomfortable while watching a musicvideo

edit: This is her name in Japanese: 坂東慶子
if you search this at google you find more photos of her

edit II: This is her official site: http://hyna.jp/
and her full romanized name is Keiko Bando
this si her official blog: http://ameblo.jp/keikobando/
and her twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/diva_keikobando

Here's a youtube rip of TARATIKA.

The tags are all wrong, there's no cover, and because it's from the video there's 16-17 seconds of silence at the start. But I'm sure someone will fix all of these issues later.

This blows my mind, because there's another Twitter of her too.

http://twitter.com/#!/DIVA_HYNA

It follows the one you posted, but has more followers and looks more official imo.

[fuawas]

The PV is great.. I love her facial expressions, they're so sexy and weird lol
I can't wait to hear the other songs!

Cover btw:

Why I instantly though of Lady GaGa when I saw this? XD

[Mirai Noah]

[Kanzaki]

I don't want to compare artists.

[toniayu]

^no,no,i'm not comparing they...just they are "similar" styles,but they are totally different.i don't like to compare artist

[Kanzaki]

^
I'm not saying you are, or that it's wrong, it's just my new policy :never compare. I'd hate that if I was an artist.

[toniayu]

^ oh..hahaha i did't understood too good ,sorry

[koumori]

I think it's inevitable, at least for me, that I'll compare to such artists such as the obvious: Koda Kumi, Lady Gaga. I think it is the first time I've compared an artist to Lady Gaga though. I think it's just because the long blonde hair reminds me of the hair Gaga started out with, back in 2007-2008. Also the quirky dancing style reminded me of her Bad Romance video. Obviously the Koda Kumi reference is to the catchy, sensual pop music and video that harks back to Kuu's ero-kakkoi days, plus obviously the style.

But Kanzaki88, I do agree that it can get annoying, but I also understand with why people are bringing up comparisons. But HYNA also seems to have a strong on-stage personality of her own, I'm looking forward to more work from her. Her image is really good, I'm tired of YUI-lookalikes making debuts (I love YUI btw. ).

[maddy1111]

OMG! this girl cant be hotter

[NintendoHTF1242]

I'm glad I was able to introduce her to some of you guys ^.^ She's really pretty! If she's not wearing too much make-up and whatnot. I kind of like the song now. The PV is still raunchy and addictive to watch though haha. The S&M part is so hot.

[TeamAyu2004]

It was rather interesting...
I think I like it, but the main part with all her eye stuff.. that was too weird. Also upon first look I thought of a porn star... lol..

But after, I keep getting this vibe that she reminds me a lot like ayumi, if ayumi were super sex up.

I think I will get!

[happiholic★]

My respect for her went way up when I saw that she turned down a major deal because she didn't want to change her style!
