  3. I'm opening this discussion for us to have a guide to help KARA for this comeback: : 카라 : KARA : 숙녀가 못 돼 : Can't Be A Lady (Damaged Lady) : 둘 중에 하나 : Runaway First two are no brainers: #1 - Buy the album (!!!) If you plan to buy via YesAsia, please use Karaholic's link. It would also be nice if you refrain from sharing download links for the whole album. Check to see if the sales will add to Hanteo (YesAsia and GMarket does). That's quite important. Physical sales may not have a big bearing on the Music Shows, but it does earn more for KARA and DSP. #2 - Watch the MV on Youtube - create a playlist (F5, Replay, Youtuberepeaters DO NOT WORK). Refresh your browser cache after about 50 repeats. Clear/Remove from your YT Watch History. Also watch it thru iMBC and Gaon. If you have a blog, add this to the top. It will autoplay the video for every visitor. It might be annoying so don't hide it so that visitors can pause the vid. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_vHw17-zFa4?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> #3 - Vote! - I know, we're one of the laziest fandom in terms of voting. But if they lose because of the lack of votes, we have no one to blame but ourselves and we don't want that, do we? Let's make our votes count on the charts that matter. SMS Voting is counted per phone number, so it really doesn't cost much for that one SMS to M!Countdown (text "카라" to +82-2-2566) and one SMS to MuCore (text "KARA" to +82-2-0505) and one SMS to Inkigayo (text "카라" to +82-2-1245). #4 - Build the hype by searching on Search portals - by having them trend on Search portals, ordinary Koreans will be curious and might download the song adding to the Digital sales. It will also help if we unanimously search at certain times (i.e. after a music show performance, after a tv guesting, every 12noon lolz). Check the shoutbox for the term that's trending for the day/event. ~ Naver | Daum | Nate | Melon ~ If you want to be lazy, use this site and have it cycle for 301-400 secs (That's roughly every 5 mins, but it's nice to not set it too exact lest you be tagged as spam). #5 - Build the hype on SNS (Twitter, FB, me2day, IG) - use the tags #KARA #카라 #숙녀가못돼 Twitter: Do not use a tag after another (ie I like #KARA #숙녀가못돼) because it'll be considered a spam. Instead write words in between (ie I love #KARA and their latest song #숙녀가못돼 is the best). Gaon Social Chart: Sign up to Gaon and add points to KARA's Social Chart (tutorial and tips from another site). me2day: Make sure to click the me2 for all KARA official me2day post. Let it make it to the top stories. FB: Follow KARA's official FB page. Like their posts. FB now has hashtags, use it. But after this, what else can we do? Please add what you know we can do to help. (Unsure - if anyone can verify please do) Streaming Music Online (the 1 minute sample) every hour for Digital Streaming points - some say it adds to the digital streaming, some say it doesn't. It doesn't take much of your time, so it wouldn't hurt to do this. Clear cache before/after doing this for the hour. Bugs | Melon | Olleh Music | MNet | Soribada | Daum | Monkey3 Korean proxy sites: list 1 list 2 - some say to use a Korean proxy to make the streaming count. I've read somewhere that if you stream on Naver with a foreign IP, it'll be a deduction instead of adding to the points. This Streaming on Bugs using Facebook acct tutorial shows you need to change your IP. And if you do it this way, the streaming will definitely count. But it's 1 FB account for a 1-day pass, so use it wisely. I'd say use it for CBAL than Runaway.

  4. Jiyoung was the main reason why I became a Kamilia. I first noticed her in Idol Show Season 1 with Super Juniors. I couldn't resist her loveliness and innocence so I ended up searching for more. Too bad, she was sooo underrated at that time so there was less fangirling materials available for me then. :< I was so happy when she's finally garnering attention but I had that I-don't-want-to-share-her-cuteness feeling somehow. haha Jing will forever be my bias. <3

  12. Who's not ready? Is there EVER a Kamilia who's not waiting for the KARA Comeback? If there is one of you who's not ready for the comeback, then tell him to comeback here so that the maintenance team will fix & adjust him/her to be ready for the comeback!! As for me, I'm getting old while still waiting for the comeback!

  22. Review of the song "One of Two (Runaway)" This is a quick translation of a review on the song “One of two (Runaway)” that was posted on the Karaboard by writer Nezo. I thought it would be interesting to read what K-Kamilias are saying. Nezo is a graduate student studying in Japan right now who is also a musician. Before I go into the translation, I want to also add my short comments about the new single. I think it’s great. In fact, it’s best so far from Kara. They’ve clearly departed from their previous works and genre. And the sound is more mature and advanced. Here is why. The music is awesome. It is an R&B style really with some blues, hints of bossa nova and acoustic folk rock. I agree with Nezo, there are two acoustic and two electric guitars. Plus, there is a keyboard (I can hear it), a bass, a real drum, and there are one male and (at least) two female backup singers (they maybe Kara doing it but am not sure because I hear the faint bass tone in the combination). The snare drum sound is so real nice. It adds real punch, doesn’t it? I love it. And the guitar sounds are just amazing. Simply, the music is a real pleasure to my ears. It is a great arrangement. Then, we have KARA. They’ve grown. You can really hear it. The voices are more balanced, stable and mature. And you can hear emotions as well. Hara’s voice has more strength. You can hear that she’s been training. And Nicole’s rap is great. Jiyoung is getting better and better. And the sounds of Gyul and Ham’s voices have strength and balance. Overall, they’ve definitely matured and have reached, dare I say, at a level of artist. I can feel them breaking out from their idol stage to the now a real bona fide artist level. So, here to the translation… ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by: Nezo Introduction going in: This new song “Runaway” is very very good. It has a very desirable unfamiliarity! It is a great compromise of emotional gayos of the early 2000’s with the medium tempo boom before. Oh, damn, if this one track on the album is like this how high a quality will the title song be by Sweetune. Oh, man, ㅜㅜ, this is like the satisfaction felt from the “Way” on the album “Pandora”. Analysis of Genre: Rather than calling it blues, the genre is closer to R&B Soul, acoustic R&B Soul. Organic Soul! The sound is of style we are more familiar from foreign artists; however, we heard it more (from the Korean artists) in the past but harder to find now days. In fact, it is a style we rarely heard it for the last few years. In my view, it seems to be similar to a playing style of Adriana Evans acoustic soul plus a hint of modern country-style rhythm session. It even sounds like an opened and expanded feeling from the acoustic R&B sound of Nicole’s “Lost”. Charming Vocals: I see more sensitivity to popular appeal. It has the sound quality to appeal not only to the existing fans of KARA but also to the fans of emotional gayo (the Korean style pop ballads). The refrain section shows that one does not have to resort to screaming to reach an emotional number. The vocal abilities of all the members have increased. And their controls are great. And it’s a matured image! Finally, their vocals have completely broken out from the idol image. One more attractive point, the members have tried hard to make similar tone if possible. They have tried to faithfully assimilate to the song’s sound concept that it is hard to figure out who sang which part at first glance. The sound of instrument is magnificent: The sound of bass and even the tones of the acoustic guitars, they’ve done a great job. I wonder if they are the work of Hong, Joon-Ho and Lee, Tae-Yoon? The sound is not young (meaning the players are not young). And the drum part is so real. The fuzzy tone of the guitar part does not try to stand out but adds much pleasurable spice to the whole piece. What is interesting is that I’ve been repeating it for over an hour and still cannot hear the sound of the keyboard. How can they make this kind of sounds with a rock-band arrangement? Are they really going with a session band? If that is the case, I find it interesting that they’ve used various effects sounds from electric guitars to replace the previous uses of electric piano and synthesizers. To my ears, there are performances with two acoustic guitar arrangements in addition to two electric guitars which are using two separate tones each. Upon first listening, the tone sounds like an electric piano because the sound stresses punch tones; however, to my years it sounds like a guitar. (Ah, but it sounds like there is an electric piano as well in the background of the acoustic guitars. We will have to see the album flyers to see what instruments were used.). Satisfaction grade: To base “My Darling” as 100 points, I give 97 points. Note: I must stress that the review is not 100% due to my use of Youtube and the downloaded song from iTunes. (Meaning, it’s not a raw WAV file from a CD).

  23. I think the main point of their concept is that they're cold women now, from all the hurt they've gone through. So they were once innocent princess, got hurt by the relationship and become cold hearted queens, then decided to act like boys instead of being a lady and getting hurt. lol. Where do we buy the digital copies in order for it to count on music shows once they make their comeback?
