The vocals and overall mood is way better here; however their dancing is not that good. For me they could have dropped the entire group dancing parts. It's awkward and misplaced. Either you have to do it all the way through (like SNSD) or don't do it at all. This was "trying too hard to show that we have skills". Catchy song though

Did you guys all hear their new song? It's the theme song for the horror movie "Bilocation". I really like it!

avex probably decided to go that route when they discovered nobody gave a fuck about them.

But don't care, "The One" is an absolute guilty pleasure. But idk how it fits the themes of a horror movie.

I just noticed they released a digital mini album... downloading it right now.

Oh and there is this message on their official website:
Spoiler:

New and Revamped “FAKY” to be Announced in Early 2015

First and foremost, thank you for your continuous support for FAKY.

As a result of extensive discussions amongst the members of FAKY and the staff, it has been decided that FAKY will undergo further development, including the possibility of reconfiguring the members of the group, in order to enable delivery of a more powerful form of entertainment and music that is truly unique to FAKY.

In light of this decision, FAKY’s debut mini CD album (CD+DVD : RZCD-59537/B, CD ONLY : RZCD-59538) which was slated to be released on April 9th, 2014, will instead be released digitally for a limited time starting July 2nd, 2014. We extend our sincerest apology to those who made reservations for the debut mini CD album but hope that you understand that the girls need to undergo this process in order for FAKY to become a more cohesive and united group.

More info about digital release.

FAKY in its current form with Anna, Lil’ Fang, Mikako, Diane, and Tina will temporarily cease their activity as a group, but will continue on with their individual activities during this process throughout 2014.

FAKY is currently planning to make their comeback in early 2015 so please be on the look out for updates regarding the new and revamped FAKY.

Thank you always for your support.

Sincerely,
From all the FAKY staff

A Message from FAKY:


Thank you for all the love and support you have given us throughout the past year.

We are truly sorry for this sudden announcement but hope you understand that this is a necessary process for us to improve as a group.

We will continue working hard in hopes to share with you, once again, the excitement and our passion for music in early 2015!!

Thank you truly for all of your support and we look forward to seeing all of you soon!!

Sincerely,
FAKY / Anna, Lil' Fang, Mikako, Diane, Tina

To be honest that's the whole point of boygroups and girlgoups and the reason why they are popular in the first place. I'm not trying to bash them, but the formular behind those groups is always the same, especially when they are popular. It's all about the marketing, nothing more. I don't like to admit it, but I really like Momusu. Are Momusu's members more special or unique than of other girlgroups? No. Is their music more special or unique than of other girlgroups? No. They're just catchy, that's it. And I got to know them when I discovered J-Pop back then, I guess that's why I like them in the first place: nostalgia.

Avex just failed regarding a great marketing strategy for FAKY and how I see it they also didn't wanted to spend much money on them. Little promo = little success.

Personally I have to say I find FAKY way more interesting than most of those groups. FAKY after all was based on the image of cool and somehow tough girls, what was great considering all those girlgroups based on cutesy.

I think FAKY was more appealing to you because it's more westernized than the other japanese groups we have, so it's more easy for you to be listening to them ^^

I always felt like FAKY was a copy of 2NE1. So if even 2NE1 can't succeed in Japan FAKY doesn't even have a chance

I don't think the Japanese public cares for this type of girl group at all in general, so. I'd be really surprised if anyone truly thought they'd be highly successful there.

They aren't even that cute...And they certainly aren't cute by Japanese standards either. They're in a weird place lol
