While I still like (love) the original more, the Japanese version is really good too.

I like how they’ve changed up the video a little. Not keeping the choreography would have been just wrong, so I’m glad they kept it. I liked the outfits in the original more too, but it would have been extremely boring if everything had looked the same as if they had just made a Japanese voice over of the original video.

I’m not sure about Tae-yeon’s hair style where they’re wearing the green outfits though.

You might want to put on your shades or the colours of the girls’ pants might be permanently etched to your retinas .

This is another good performance of Mister. This one sticks out a bit with the colours though .

Here’s a nice performance of Chu~♡ by f(x).

One thing that I find a bit unfortunate is that they show close-ups of the members during the, in my opinion, coolest dance move in the choreography. It’s the part when they step in place and move their shoulders during “do it, do it Chu~♡” and put their arms out and then point forward. I thought it looked cool in the music video, but I guess they had to put the close-ups somewhere .

Re:ache is HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR’s final single. It’s a slower song.

As of this release I guess the band is officially broken up.

Here KARA makes an acoustic performance of the song Gil (길, Road) by G.O.D.

This live performance takes an ugly turn when a floor panel gives way and So-hyun trips and has to grab a hold of Ji-hyun to avoid falling to the ground (at 1:23).

The girls are extremely professional though and continues with the performance, which was being broadcasted live.

Luckily no one was injured.

Hurricane Venus is the title track of BoA’s new Korean album.

It’s a pretty “normal” music video, but I like it more than Game. They got better use of the “Matrix” photo rigg in this one.

I really dig the “angelic” outfit and makeup.

I recently posted a couple of live performances of this song. Now it’s time for the music video.

The DVD I took this from actually has English subtitles for the dialogue in the video, but I think you can understand what’s going on without them .

Perhaps Ji-young’s character in the video should work on her communication skills a little, so that she doesn’t have to pull a Misery and break the poor guy’s leg to be able to confess her love .

Here’s the higher quality version of Game that I promised.

I’m not a big fan of the “80s workout tights”-outfit. She uses it in Hurricane Venus too.

I also thought I’d post a little teaser for the Hurricane Venus PV. […] there’s more! »

This is another KARA song that I’m sure that I’ve heard before. I don’t have a clue as to where I’ve heard it though. Perhaps I caught a glimpse of it at Mnet M!Countdown or Inkigayo when they won over SNSD’s Gee.

KARA ~ Honey

It’s their first #1 single.

Just a random thought: who came up with the set design in the video? “We need something to smack up behind the girls in the Honey video”, “How about some hearts and stuff?”, “No no! It has to be original!”, “Um, honey…comb?”, “Brilliant! That’s just the kind of radical thinking we need. You’re promoted!”
