  1. Hi everyone! I romanised the lyrics of her song and added a really rough English translation... Hope it's okay to post here  :gemnoway: 


    Her live of the short version of the song can be seen here   :gemhoho: 


     


    JY | 好きな人がいること Lyrics


    Moshi go fun mae ni modoreru nara nani wo shimasu ka?


    Watashi wa sakki no henji mou ichido shitai


    Doushite anna ni sokkenaku suruu shichatta no?


    Anata no mae da to nanda ka umaku ikanai


    Jinsei wa koukai bakari


    Demo naite waratte sukoshi zutsu susumu no


     


    Moshi go fun mae ni modoreru nara sunao de iyou


    Anata no soba ni itakunaru sonna hi deshita


     


    Nee, jikan wa maki modosenai kedo


    Nando mo nando mo yari naoseba ii yo ne


    Konya wa namida de afuretemo

    Me wo tojiru yo


     


    Moshi deatta ano hi ni modoreru nara nani wo shimasu ka?

    English Translation (Rough)


    If I could go back five minutes, what would I do?


    I would want to change my previous reply


    Why was I so cold?


    Somehow, I can’t say things properly when I’m with you


    Life is full of regrets


    But crying and laughing, we go through it bit by bit


     


    If I could go back 5 minutes, I’ll be honest


    It was one of those days when I wanted to be by your side


     


    Hey, we can’t turn back time but


    We can just start over again and again


    Even if I’m overflowing with tears tonight


    It’s fine if I laugh tomorrow


    Until I can touch that gentle hand


    I will always be dreaming of you


    Goodnight for tonight, I’m closing my eyes


     


    If I could go back to the day we met, what would I do?


    I’d probably smile a little more kindly


    And if we caught each other’s eye I would smile more


    Then from the start I would be more successful


    But life is a combination of miracles


    Even if one thing was different everything would change 


     


    If I could go back to the day we met, what would I do?


    Even so, it’s fine if things were left they way they are


     


    Hey, we can’t turn back time but


    We can just start over again and again


    If we walked in the same place tomorrow


    Will you be next to me smiling?


    Until I can touch that gentle hand


    I will always be dreaming of you


    Thank you, and goodnight


    I’ll see you tomorrow


     


    Even though I can no longer go back five minutes, I’ll ask honestly


    Do you have someone you love?


     


    Hey, is it wrong to love you?


    Can we be more than friends from now on?


    Is the way I am now enough?


    Will you be next to me smiling?


    Having someone you love is bittersweet and painful


    Goodnight for tonight, I’m closing my eyes

  2. I just got mine ^_^ It's so gorgeous you guys should buy it!   

     

    In her bucket list she wrote:

    1) To be independent

    2) To star as a heroine in a hot romance film

    3) If I find the right place, to shelter abandoned cats and dogs

    4) To meet a dolphin in the sea

    5) For about a month, to distance myself away from all my stress and work

    6) Trip to Italy and Switzerland!  

     

    Thought I'd share more previews: tumblr_oa6m3enN161rplnm4o4_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m3enN161rplnm4o5_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m3enN161rplnm4o8_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m31Lgdx1rplnm4o1_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m31Lgdx1rplnm4o3_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m31Lgdx1rplnm4o5_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m31Lgdx1rplnm4o4_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m31Lgdx1rplnm4o2_1280.jpgtumblr_oa6m31Lgdx1rplnm4o6_1280.jpg

  3. Hi! Here's a super super rough translation of the main parts of the interview: ^^  

    They asked her what kind of things she did when she produced her album, and she said her opinions were taken into consideration when it came to choosing songs, the plot of the music videos, the styling, the lyrical content and the design of the CD.   

    Then she explained the meaning of 'bliss' and the differences between the 3 different versions of the albums, and they asked how she chose the concept images for each version, and she wanted a relaxed image befitting of the spring season. She said it was more difficult that she expected because she wanted a feminine image that wasn't too cute or too sexy, and if it was in between it was in danger of looking sleepy  :gemhoho:  B version looks like a milk commercial to her hehe.  

    Then they said her Japanese was perfect and she said she's concentrating very hard, and that sometimes she has trouble clearly pronouncing the differences between 's' and 'z'. While in Korea since she can't practice Japanese she learns passively by watching dramas. They were talking about how it's amazing that she's fluent in English as well and she said she always gets it mixed up in her head, and accidentally spoke in Japanese during her beauty segment on a Korean variety show.   

    They had a segment where fans guessed which answers Nicole would pick from the following questions:

    1) Are you more of an indoor or outdoor person?

    The male host was guessing that since her skin is so fair she can't possibly go outdoors that often, and the female host said that she seems like the kind of person who enjoys going to theme parks and walking her dogs.

    Nicole's answer: Indoors! Eating junk food and watching TV on the sofa with her 3 dogs is the best thing.  

    2) What are you best at when it comes to cooking? Western/Korean/Japanese

    Nicole's answer: She's good at making things like avocado toast, steak, frittatas, cakes, cookies, and muffins.   

    3) Which season do you like? Summer/Winter

    Nicole's answer: Actually it's autumn, but between those two she hates the bugs that come out in the summer and she gets red patches on her skin from allergies and gets stressed. In the winter there are no bugs at all.  

    4) What kind of guy do you like? Wild/gentle

    Nicole's answer: Gentle!

    Male host: That's me then!

    Nicole: I've always liked someone who will treat me well.  

    5) Are you the kind who will confess your love or the kind who wants to be confessed to?

    Female host: Girls usually want to be confessed to don't they

    Nicole's answer: She wants to be confessed to, but if she's sure that they like her but they never confess, she'll do it herself because she can't hold it in.    :gemflower:

    I just got back from an amazing night and thought I’d share my experience :gemwin: For those who don’t know me I’ve been a diehard KARA fan for the past 8 years and Nicole has always been my favourite member (but I love them all so much). I’m finally in Japan on my year abroad and I’ve been waiting for a KARASIA concert but that’s obviously not going to happen, although this was still a dream come true. On the 1st of May she held 2 concerts at Theater Brava in Osaka, one at 14:30 and one at 18:30. I went to the later one.

    
    

    tumblr_inline_o6i3q4p9of1r7fbxm_500.jpgtumblr_inline_o6i3lyVr8m1r7fbxm_500.jpg

    
    

    I really wanted to get a concert T-shirt so I arrived 2 hours early but they were already sold out. The towel, large fan and tote bags were sold out too so I got the pen light, key holder and badges (set of 2, you can’t choose the designs). 

    
    

    tumblr_inline_o6i3cj5kgs1r7fbxm_540.jpgtumblr_inline_o6i3de0dTM1r7fbxm_500.jpg

    
    

    Since I arrived early only a few people were hanging around, and when the afternoon show ended some stayed because they were rich enough to afford tickets for both shows. I then heard some commotion nearby and realised that people were winning a chance to actually get to meet her :shocked: , and felt even more exasperated when I realised all I had to do was bring this paper that came together with the album I bought yesterday (it just says to bring it along to a sale event and I didn’t know they’d be selling the albums at the concert too):      

    
    

    tumblr_inline_o6i3l7VBrh1r7fbxm_500.jpg

    
    

    I think 3 people won it. This one guy actually ran to the ATMs to get more money and buy as many albums as he could to stand a chance to win, and he won an extra meet and greet ticket and gave it to his friend who started crying. I would too if I were her haha. An hour before doors opened they dragged out a board where we could write down questions we wanted to ask Nicole on post-it notes, and one of the staff members wrote down instructions to surprise Nicole by doing the ‘Crayon Shin-chan Dance’ during her title track, HAPPY. I wanted to ask Nicole if she’d be doing a tour around Asia but felt that they probably wouldn’t have time to answer all the questions anyway. And sure enough, they only managed to do 3 before time ran out.

    
    

    tumblr_inline_o6i3sw8Ws51r7fbxm_540.jpg

    
    

    It was really cool seeing what all the J-Kamilias were wearing as well. There were Bliss concert T-shirts, Chanel No. 5 inspired Nicole fanclub shirts, ‘Crazy About Nicole’ shirts, KARASIA gear, self-made designs (like the Damaged Lady one in the bottom left) and there was even one guy with a lanyard around his neck that carried a clear pouch with cut-outs of Nicole’s pictures and all the tickets to her shows.

    
    

    tumblr_inline_o6i4383VSJ1r7fbxm_500.jpg tumblr_inline_o6i49q33J71r7fbxm_500.jpg

    
    

    And then the doors finally opened~ I was pretty close to the stage considering the fact that I bought a lottery ticket. A staff member started handing out this pamphlet:

    
    

    tumblr_inline_o6i4flSFLE1r7fbxm_500.jpg tumblr_inline_o6i4gz1Hyr1r7fbxm_500.jpg tumblr_inline_o6i4gzLwS41r7fbxm_500.jpg

    
    

    It opened up into that big sign that said “Let’s walk together always” and at the back were instructions to give her another surprise by holding it up during her encore. Ngl, I teared up when I read it lol. First a few staff members came on stage to teach us the Crayon Shin-chan dance (the dance she does during the "Up and Down" part of HAPPY's 3rd chorus). When she finally appeared on stage I felt my fangirl heart burst into flames but had to control myself since majority of the Japanese audience (save for the overexcited fanclub boys singing HAPPY at the top of their lungs before it started) were very contained and calm. Most were middle aged men so there was a more serious, less crazy vibe. I just felt so proud, seeing her come this far after all these years. 

     

     

    I might’ve forgotten the order of songs already, forgive me! She started off singing Something Special and sang a bunch of songs, including Precious Timewonderful babySay Good bye, and Need A Love from her new album. They played a few VTRs in between and she came back with her Game Corner, which surprised me because she invited 3 people from the audience to dance with her to KARA songs STEPJumpin’Jet Coaster Love, and Mister. It was hilarious because she’d forgotten everything, and understandably so since she had to learn so many new routines for her new album. She even admitted that during the afternoon show she did the butt dance facing the wrong direction :gemsorry:  I thought it was really sweet because she gave all three of them gifts that she had handpicked herself. She picked her favourite scented candles and bought them personalised candy.

     

     

    I flipped out when she did LUNAR because it’s my favourite song on the album other than HAPPYDON’T STOP, and Something Special (unsurprisingly, all are Sweetune songs haha). She mentioned that she felt awkward at first practicing it since she had to dance and sing like she was a moon goddess. She also performed the Japanese version of Mama (I prefer the Korean one) and sang a beautiful live rendition of Memories (she said in the afternoon show she was so hungry that her stomach made a noise in the middle of the song and shocked her) and Nakashima Mika’s Glamorous Sky (she killed it and I had so many emotions). Her live voice was really good! I thought she would be exhausted after doing 2 shows in a row but she had a lot of stability and power.

     

     

    During her Question Corner she begrudgingly accepted an audience member’s request to perform Gwiyomi, and then talked about her favourite hairstyles and, of course, food. She was super sweet and funny and exactly like how she is on TV, and she kept having problems with her Japanese (I completely understand lol) but of course the audience were really supportive. She said that she prefers brown hair, but she dyed her hair lighter colours because fans requested her to. Even though she bleached her hair thrice she couldn't get rid of the pink dye, so some of it is still left on her hair. When asked when she was the most happy, she said when she's in bed :gemshout: She also did FANTASYrecallBEST MAN, and 7-2=오해 from her First Romance album.

     

     

    Then she sang HAPPY, came back with DON’T STOP (where we held up the red sign and I swear I saw her tear up slightly) and then did one final encore of HAPPY. She introduced her dance crew, who I have slowly started recognising after watching her solo performances. She said she's really good friends with them, and then added "I think that way, at least" and then complained about how they sometimes eat delicious food without her ^_^ Then she took a picture with the audience in the background, said she knows that there are people who came to all 4 shows, and also some who are completely new faces, but she appreciates every single one of us, and then said her final goodbye.

     

     

    I ended the night wondering what might’ve happened if I had brought that silly event paper with me, but all in all it was an amazing night finally seeing her live ♥ One day I’ll get my picture and my life with be complete.

     

     

    This is my first time posting in a forum so I got really confused with the formatting... My apologies! I posted this originally on http://karatastic.tumblr.com/post/143684182082/2016-nicole-the-1st-live-bliss-in-osaka

  5. Nope, I've been to Kpop Night concert during 2010 and Kpop Heal the world concert at 2011 and they will not confiscate your camera. They'll just give you a warning. And if you're caught taking photographs, it's up to the security whether he/she would like to kick you out or not.

    Alright, thanks! Guess there's obviously no point in trying to sneak a DSLR in LOL.

  6. So many miscommunications on VizPro's part, sigh. For people who aren't concert noobs like me (only been to Sundown and F1), do you guys know how to get around the 'no photography/videography' rule? Will people actually confiscate your cameras or make you delete the photos you take? /:

  7. I loved Jiyoung's short hair in STEP, but I really wish they didn't shorten it and curled it in Winter Magic. She's our baby maknae, why try to make her look so mature? It's unnecessary.. Wasn't a big fan of Gyuri's Rock U hair but her Lupin hair, although similar, suited the concept..

    Hara wore a short hair wig for KARAdise recently.. I think she looks pretty cool!

    tumblr_lfo8il161W1qzjftho1_500.png

  8. She is so blur and dorky and I love that, it's really entertaining to watch her and her reactions to things. Her facial expressions are also the best! I also love the fact that she's a strong person and doesn't cry easily, i.e. when they got their first win for Honey. This makes me even angrier thinking about the guy on Nicole Goes to College who chided her for not knowing Chinese or anything about Chinese medicine and made her really upset about herself.

    I also love the fact that she's so sociable and is good friends with so many idols.

  9. To be honest I wasn't a KARA fan at first because cutesy songs weren't my thing. Got sucked into K-Pop by YG groups and I started watching KBS since I have that free on cable. Star Golden Bell was a must watch for me and that's when I first saw Nicole on variety :D

    She was so charming and her hyper personality was adorable. Then I saw Goddess as a guest and was taken in by her wit, and then my fangirling for KARA began and has lasted strongly til now ^^
