  1. Sorry, I don't get what you said here. Hasn't KARA already in the "Big 3"? If my memory serve me right, Korea name the "Big 3" girl group was WonSoKa. And I think 2NE1 is not in the Big 3 yet.

    I believe the Big 3 is referring to SM, JYP, and YG. The companies, not their groups. XD

    This is going to be one epic comeback itNvE.jpg

    Is it too early to make this thread?! Well there really isn't much to spazz about right now since the MV teaser hasn't been released yet and all we have are two promo pictures but I AM STILL SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ALBUM sldkjfksdf <3 I really love Seungyeon's style on the cover, very reminiscent of Revolution's rich colours and Jumping's sophistication.

  3. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!!!111

    Everything looks very promising so far - the cover, the concept, the style, KARA channel, the promotional teasers, everything - it really does seem like a new promotional team is handling the activities this time doesn't it?! DSP is really stepping up their game!

    If I really must pick on something that wasn't outright perfect then it must be the tracklist of the album. I wish they could include more full songs (rather than intros, outtros, and instrumentals) but KARA's full albums have always been known to be quite short in length. Th up side to that is they rarely have filler songs (which I hate -.-), so the entire album turns out to be really solid and high quality.

    Can't wait to hear all the new songs! Rider sounds especially promising because the title sounds so badass lol.

  4. Did anyone notice that in the dance version of the video at certain moments Gyuri has long sleeves and then back to three-quarter sleeves. I just find it quite funny how it changes so quickly. And here I thought it was done in one take... hahaha...

    omg you're right! I never noticed it until you pointed it out.

    Now instead of the choreography, I focus on looking out for Gyul's sleeves when watching the dance shot lol. It's kind of distracting :sweatdrop:

  5. Awesome sales so far! (:

    SDN48's sales dropped to 5065 on the second day (T_T).. so looks like they're out of the competition for the #1 spot for the weekly chart...for now. Right now there's a 17k difference in sales between KARA and Tsuyoshi Doumoto so it's very likely that KARA will get their first weekly #1 for singles with JCL. :thumbup1:

  6. Very tentative translation (especially the underlined parts)

    Now, the "Thank You" that I want to tell you

    After meeting you

    Those words that I was not able to say

    It's not just a simple reason

    like I'm shy or anything

    Even though imagination and reality

    Are often not the same

    In the picture of future that you sketched

    And even now, am I in it?

    Ever changing, the world is colored

    Ever so fearfully, the page is turned

    But just by seeing your smile

    I'm able to believe in the future

    Wholeleartedly, I want to tell you "Thank you"

    Can you hear me?

    I'm not good at expressing it

    This feeling I want to convey to you

    I just want you know I always need your love

    It's you

    I love you

    I will be by your side

    Even after a hundred years have passed

    Such a beautiful song :gemadmire:

  7. Usually the rating of the first episode of a drama indicates the amount of interest in a drama. 4.2% is really high for the timeslot that Urakara is in, so that means the anticipation for this drama is pretty high. :thumbup: Hopefully the rating stays around that number for the rest of the episodes.

    The Amazon Japan page for UraKARA DVD is already out lol --> http://www.amazon.co.jp/URAKARA-KARA-%E5%87%BA%E6%BC%94-DVD/dp/B004HO51Y0 It's not available for purchase yet but I reckon the price will be around the same as AKB48's Majisuka Gakuen, which is ¥15,960. Since this is a bilingual drama, I'm guessing there will be a Korean release too, and that will probably be cheaper.

  8. it's been 8 weeks ever since the album was released and it's still charting in the weekly top 10, which is sooooooooooo awesome i think i can die :P

    ikr?! if this trend continues, i wouldn't be surprised if the sales hit 300k, or even more. This album is super sticky ;D

    And oh dang GT is so close to the #1 spot! It would be downright amazing if they can manage to get a daily #1 almost two months after the release date.

  9. Wow, I never thought my post would've generated this much discussion, maybe it's inadvertently a good thing because we're getting more people participating in this thread. :tongue: But chill, everyone, I merely said that I didn't like the drama judging from the first episode. Sure, it could get better, but so far I'm not liking it, and that's my own opinion. You don't have to agree with it. :sweatdrop:

    @KaraNice

    I honestly don't know how to reply to you. o_o If you managed to get to the conclusion that I'm not supportive of KARA's activities, then you're reading too much into my post. xD And I still don't know where the whole "I'm always expressing negative comments" thing come from. If you want to continue this discussion, PM me. This thread is for discussions, not for arguments.

    @aneaab - I guess some people are just more sentivie to others' opinions. :sweatdrop:

  10. hmm anyone heard anything about URAKARA being subbed :S ?

    i really want to see this drama gets subbed.. its only 30mins/ep too so hopefully not too much work :)

    SwtMel is subbing it right now~ I don't know when it'll be finished but it's in the progress. (:

    i have read a few comment from U xichigo..u always have negative comments..i wonder why???

    lol what? Since when do I "always" have "negative comments"? It's called an opinion. This is a discussion thread, not a mindless praising thread. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinions.

  11. @xichigo - thanks for the summary! It was really helpful.

    I'm pretty impressed with the drama so far... I think everybody whose dying of cringe-worthy scenes have not seen how bad it can get (and these are real real dramas that air at prime time) a classic example would be one of Jin's dramas (the name I can't remember) but you should check that out to find out what real embarassment feels like. This was surprisingly really good. [...]

    That would be Yukan Club, and yes that was bad, but I think Urakara is equally bad, if not worse. I think I'm the only voice of dissent here among everyone who loves Urakara, lol. I wouldn't even touch this drama if not for the girls, and, tbh, I'm not sure if I want to keep on watching the rest of the episodes. :sweatdrop: I'll probably just skim through them to check out the girls' actings, but that's about it.

    I don't want to write too much because someone will surely get offended, so I'll leave it at that.
