  1. Covers of 'Jumping', due next month, revealed "Will continue the blast in Japan with the belly fashion" 'SNSD with their legs, Kara with bellies?' Kara's continued persistence of their 'belly fashion' in the new single 'Jumping' to be released on Nov 10 in Japan is drawing attentions. Kara recently revealed the covers of their 2nd single 'Jumping'. They are in 3 versions with 3 different fashion: in leather clothes, with long boots on, and in suits. But one thing is common in all of them: that all 5 members revealed their navels; they are wearing the crop tops in Jumping's MV too. Kara debuted with 'Break It' in 2007 and has released 7 albums up to 'Lupin' in Feb so far, but it's only in the summer of the last year while promoting 'Mister' when they wore clothes with their navels revealed. Compared to this, they started their promotion of their debut single 'Mister' in Japan on Aug 11 in tanktops and loose sweat pants with their navels revealed, and has been persisting in this outfits. Their agency DSP media said that the belly fashion "was just chosen to help Kara look cute as that's what appeals to the Japanese fans; it wasn't meant to mean something that they wear it again." Although it isn't specifically intended, Kara's belly fashion is affecting even Japan's local girl groups too. 9nine, a Japanese female group, appeared in the cover of 'crossover', their new album due in Dec, in crop tops, loose pants, and snickers that look similar to Kara's outfit at the time of 'Mister'; people are speculating that they might have copied Kara. They debuted in 2005 and have been wearing school uniforms or clothes that look cute so far. Translated by LVALUE@KH Source:
  2. Translations: You should've used 'ta' instead of 'だ'!!! You're such a lousy typist~!!
  3. Kara revealed the covers of their 2nd Japanese single 'Jumping'. Kara, who's swept through the Oricon chart and is leading the the Hallyu girl group craze in Japan, revealed the covers of their 2nd single 'Jumping' on 13. Done in 3 different versions in differing outfits and themes, they all give off their chic and strongly feminine charm; they all feel more feminine and sexier compared to the covers of their debut single in Aug. Also, their stark changes in their styling are fluttering the fans: Gyuri in blonde, Hara with partly bouffant hair, and Nicole without the bang. In particular, it's the first time Nicole has appeared in the cover with her forehead revealed, who's been always saying that her forehead is her inferiority. Netizens are tremendously affirmative of the new looks; they are saying things like "the theme this time is the best ever", "Kara will surely conquer the Oricon chart again", "it's too pretty a forehead for an inferiority", and "please show your forehead more often". translated by LVALUE@KH source: TVDaily
  4. Translations 1: I'm whizzing in the air 2: Maknae is the best, isn't it? (romanized: Maknae ga choego-jiyoung?) (Here the suffix -jiyoung is an aegyo form of '-jiyo' which is a questioning form of 'is', and her name at the same time. It's actually a form a lot of her fans are using online.) 3: Yeah, unnie!! Have fun while filming and see you when I'm back!
  5. Translation: The other gals might have already arrived in Japan... I feel somewhat empty to go there by myself in tomorrow morning ㅠㅠ ㅎㅎ I'm gonna do tonight's SSTP extra hard instead >_<
  6. Then I'm... a frog on top of that body? Ham tweeted that Kkangji has given all her unnies presents. It seems Kkangji gave Hara a frog as a gift. The previous one: I'm also at the beauty shop. Keke. See you later!
  7. She might relate better to her monkey, as she has the darkest skin among the members. And 'u-hung' is an interjection similar to 'eh?' or 'well' in meaning.
  8. Translation: Kkangji gave her unnies presents~~ I picked the monkey u-hung u-hung Now that I've picked it without much consideration, it turned out to have the darkest skin among them
  9. The article said that Kara would promote the album in Japan before the release, and then concentrate the promotion in Korea after the release. I'm not the expert but I've heard somewhere that most of the Japanese TV music shows are prerecorded ones so promoting the album before the release isn't actually not that difficult in Japan, at least as far as the broadcasting is concerned. Still, they should be flying back and forth between Korea and Japan to do any live performances.
  10. Kara has revealed the jacket cover of their 2nd single, to be unleashed in their raid on the Oricon chart. The single jacket revealed on 13 in Japan has 3 variations. In them, each member poses in different clothes and themes all under the letters of KARA. According to their management firm, Kara revealed these pictures anticipating their release of their 2nd Japanese single Jumping on Nov 10. Compared to their debut single 'Mister' on Aug, it feels more feminine and sexier. Each member's style has changed quite noticeably: Gyuri in blond and Nicole with her forehead open for instance. Kara has already been seeing tremendous successes in Japanese market; their debut single Mister, released on Aug 11, was ranked in the 5th place at the Oricon daily chart for example.

  11. Kara's Han Seungyeon wept her heart out. Kara finished their MV for 'Jumping' on 7 and 8 at a set located in Gyeongido, scheduled to be released in the beginnig of Nov in Korea and Japan. In particular, one of its member Han Seungyeon was reported to have cried in filming it, garnering interests. Someone involved in the filming said that "Han Seungyeon cried her heart out while filming the MV," and "All the staff were perplexed with it too." According to him/her, the reason she cried was because the MV needed it. The scene needed only a drop of tear but Han Seungyeon couldn't help but crying her heart out, being too immersed in the scene. He/she also said that "It only needed a drop of tear. But Han Seungyeon couldn't constrain herself and kept crying, surprisng the staff too. Some of the staff praised her and even said that she could become a good actrees." Kara is set to release and promote their new album in Nov in both Korea and Japan at the same time. They're planning to concentrate the promotion in Japan before the release and then Korea afterward, so they don't see the simultaneous promotion as that big a problem.

  12. Translation of the rest: It Burnt lots of energy, as was expected. Our Giant Baby has long arms too. Now we're heading for Japan. The long arms part seems to indicate the pic was taken by Jiyoung' iPhone.
  13. Translation: Transformed into a kindergarten kid!!!! Zomg they are cute! Especially Seungyeon! She's getting younger! At this rate she'll become a baby soon.
  14. Yeah it seems so. Uh, but why did you italicize again above? Did I do sth wrong?
  15. According to Korean netizens, "high tension" is a phrase originated from Japan meaning "high in spirit." so the tweet just means: I was so totally high yesterday [but today...]
