I went ahead and placed a special order at CDJapan for the type A version. The URL is http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-13600 With their service fee and the 2000 yen EMS shipping to the USA (only option), the total was around 60 USD.

I've been a fan from the start. I had already been listening to K-Pop and girl groups for about four years. At the beginning of 2007, there actually weren't too many girl groups around (at least, none that I listened to), so when four of them (including Kara) debuted within a few weeks of each other, I was paying attention to all of them. Kara stuck as my favorite mostly because their first album was really good, and they gave great performances.

I went with the original version, only because of the call/response section in the bridge. They really need to perform using that version. Audience participation is always fun. That being said, I never noticed any difference in the vocals. I always thought the only difference was that the special edition version was shorter. BTW, the MV uses the version from the special edition.

I wasn't sure when that would happen....turns out my Youtube account was suspended a few weeks ago. I re-uploaded the video to Dailymotion [link]. We'll see how long that lasts.

2009-10-17 - she's wearing a black military-type jacket. I don't know what episode number it is, though.

Thanks. Sometimes favorite because Gyuri is a goddess

Watch I've been working on this on and off (mostly off) for the past 8 months. This is my first time making a video like this, and I was at the mercy of the KBS editors at some times (don't switch the camera angle so quickly when she does something cute!), but I think despite some rough parts, it turned out well. Enjoy. Note: Apparently, Youtube thinks it's violating copyright to use "Can't Help Myself" as the background music, so the audio or video may come and go. Even though I think this is fair use, they should just put an advertisement under the video and called it a day edit: my Youtube account was suspended, so I uploaded the video to Dailymotion. I'm not really familiar with any video sites other than Youtube, so we'll see how it goes. edit: one more try....

090404 with suju. She was super happy and bubbly that day.

Gyuri's my favorite because, in her own words, she's a goddess. Nicole's been moving up, though, since she started appearing on "Star Golden Bell".

"Two of Us" is absolutely, far and away, my favorite Kara song. It's just pretty. For the first mini-album, it's "Good Day". Nicole's raps for the song are great. And even though it's not on the poll, my favorite track from the 2nd mini-album is "Honey". It wasn't at first, but since they started performing it, I've really taken a liking to it. I especially like the "hooo, hey-hey!" part in the middle.

Seung-Yeon was the first member to get my attention. I really like the bandanna that she always wore during "Break It". That and the fact that she barely smiled on stage the first month they performed the song :-P

I've been into Korean girl bands since 2003 or so, so I was paying attention to the little explosion of groups that debuted in early 2007. Kara impressed me because they were what I think is the right age to debut (~17-19), they weren't dressed too provocatively, and of course, their music is excellent.
