The only thing I was wrong about was the time as they've released the robot dance version today and they announced yesterday that "Little T-ara" will be featured in a music video to be released next week (sorry about that).

[12.09.04] T-ara to perform at comeback stages and release a music video with "Little T-ara"

Girl group T-ara released their new mini album "MIRAGE" through online music sites today at noon.

T-ara released their mini-album with the title song "SEXY LOVE" and the ballad "Day and Night" today through all music websites. In addition to this, T-ara will have their comeback on the 6th at Mnet "M!Countdown" with "Little T-ara". Little kids wearing the same outfits as T-ara will be present with the T-ara members wearing the same outfits and performing the same robot dance.

T-ara also plans to release a new music video next week with the "Little T-ara".

Yesterday, T-ara released "SEXY LOVE" in three versions (drama, dance and BTS) as well as a music video for "Day and Night", all of which are receiving a lot of attention.

^I loved that robot dance version PV so much. <3 Their outfits for this MV are so amazing.

[bondingo]

Besides Eunjung's atrocious and completely unfitting vocals immediately following the chorus, the song is amazing. I don't exactly love Ahreum's rap either (why is rap mandatory in every K-Pop song?), but I don't think it really detracts from how great the song is.

As for the PV: I don't give a crap about these boring drama PVs they've been making since Cry Cry, so I only watch the dance versions, and this one is mostly good...although I'd rather they had just stuck with the original doll scenes and added sexy closeups in those, or similar costumes. The clown costumes are just tacky, and the masked guys and the girls' outfits and haircuts that accompany those scenes just need to disappear.

Yeah so? I wasn't talking about the video. There's no opening in a video as far as I know..

Same for me. I also don't understand, why there has to be a rap-Part in so much K-Pop songs. I don't really like rap.

BTS means "Behind The Screen"... now I understand.

I found an other version of the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FjCT54nEFQ
.. but I think, it is the same, AyusakiFan has posted befor. But I can't watch the Video AyusakiFan has posted.
So.. this is a bit different. Why an other version again? I like this one more than the normal Dance Version. Because now you see them more sitting in the box with Clown-Costumes. And we also can see Boram sitting there.
But why this Version to? It isn't very different from the other one.

I thought when you answered Mari-chan's question regarding the music video and performance, you were referring to the kids only being apart of opening stage and not the music video instead of you just letting her know that children will only be performing in the opening of the stage and not the whole performance. Sorry about that, it was a bit of misunderstanding on my end.

^ sorry I was a bit rude, I was kind of in a mood, no problem

Oh by the way, so there's only SEXY LOVE on the repackage? Hopefully the photobooklet will be nice then

That's okay. I apologize if I came off that way as well although it wasn't my intention (I guess that's the internet for you though as tone can easily be misinterpreted as well).

In addition to "SEXY LOVE", "Day and Night" is also on the repackage album.

[adantatu2]

I check bestfiction, and according to some fans, Day and Night is not in this repackage mini album, is another digital single (i guess,i'm not sure)

I just checked US iTunes and I saw that they have "Mirage" and "낮과 밤 (LOVE ALL)" sold separately just as they had it listed on bestfiction (although it said they were both unavailable to purchase in the US iTunes at the time I checked) so they may not be included together for the digital release. However all of the websites that are selling the physical album have it listed as the second track so I'm unsure if they are handling the digital release differently from the physical release or if a change has been made regarding the tracklist and the sites have not yet updated to reflect that (the sites selling the physical album). If there is a change to the physical album checklist, hopefully they'll let us know soon so people won't be under the assumption that "낮과 밤 (LOVE ALL)" is included when it's not going to be.

T-ara's opening stage with "Little T-ara" has been cut due to the controversy it caused.

[12.09.06] T-ara completes M!Countdown comeback recording, "Because of controversy, opening stage was cut"


T-ara completed their comeback prerecording today (6th) for Mnet M!Countdown.

T-ara was supposed to having an opening 35-second stage before they performed "SEXY LOVE" with "Little T-ara" showcasing T-ara's robot dance concept.

But because of the misinterpretation and controversy that arose via the Internet after the announcement was made, the 35-second opening stage with "Little T-ara" was not performed and cut-out from their comeback stage.

T-ara performed "SEXY LOVE" for their comeback stage and also their ballad track "Day and Night".

T-ara's new song "SEXY LOVE" is done by Shinsadong Tiger and written by Choi Kyujong, the same team who made t-ara's "BO PEEP BO PEEP" and "ROLY-POLY" and "LOVEY-DOVEY". "Day and Night" is the combination work of composers Cho Youngsoo and Ahn Youngmin.

T-ara's comeback can be seen through September 6th's Mnet M!Countdown at 6:00 PM KST.

To be honest, I'm not surprised this has happened but I can't say that I'm disappointed. While I wouldn't have minded the children performing (especially since it was for such a short period of time), I wasn't particularly interested in it. Plus, this situation brought more controversy to an already sensitive situation involving T-ara so I think this was the best decision for them to make. I do, however, feel sorry for the children as I'm sure they worked hard and were looking forward to performing for the opening.

[Mari-chan]

They cutted the children from the Performance? Ah.. sorry for the children.. but I'm also have to say, I don't really mind it.
But i thought, the bulling story has endet. Don't seems so.

By the way.. which songs are on the Mini-Album? Sure... Sexy Love and Day and night. But I read, that there are also Day by day and Hue and other from the "Day bay Day" Minialbum.
Why they do the same song's on it? Or are these Version without Hwa-Young?

[AyusakiFan]

EDIT: I've added the "낮과 밤 (LOVE ALL)" performance.

Repackage albums typically have all of the same songs that were on the preceding album as well as newer songs, so all of the songs from "Day By Day" will be included on "Mirage" in addition to "Sexy Love" and "Day and Night". They should have the same songs including Hwayoung unless they decided to re-record them for "Mirage" which is highly unlikely (though not impossible) as doing that would be a lot of work and they haven't done it in the past when they've had members leave the group.

[Utena]

love the comeback stage ♥!! Missed them, but not a huge fan of Eunjung hairstyle somehow.. Hyomin is fierce as usual.

[Minttulatte]

Live performance was awesome. I really love the choreography for SEXY LOVE. ^.^

[AyusakiFan]

I'm really happy to see that Boram has two solo lines in the song (it's not as much as some of the other girls but it's better than what she's gotten in previous songs). The performance was excellent and I loved that they wore both outfits from the music video for the performance. I can't wait to see their next stage although I did hear something about their Music Bank comeback stage being cancelled (I hope this isn't true though).

[Utena]

They won't be performing on Music Bank it seems, they said the song was too 'suggestive' lol

Since they won't be performing on Music Bank tommorrow as originally planned, I guess we can look forward to their next performance on Saturday at Music Core. The lyrics are quite suggestive though so I can understand their concerns but I don't that it's their sole reason for cancelling the performance (I think part of it was due to the controversy just like many others things have been).

It's "Behind the scenes" so yes, just like "making of"

SO.TRUE. HAHAHAHAHAHA When I heard that part for the first time I was like:



Well, I think that after all the controversy, T-ara (in MY opinion) should have been disbanded. Not only because of the girls, but because their management sucks and I can't respect T-ara anymore.

As for the song, they should have cameback with a REALLY strong bubblegum pop song instead of Sexy Love.... Of all the songs Shinsadong Tiger made for them, SL is the weakest.

[adantatu2]

The performance was already deleted, but i found another one
