There really isn't a point in me getting the LE version A, but I really like that cover...however version B DOES come with a photobook, and I'm definitely getting LE version C so...yeah, I might order all three anyways just cause I really like all three covers, but it's such a drain on the wallet...and Kara still has to release their perfume...

OMG the girls look absolutely stunning . I can't buy this single, since I've already spent all my money ;__;

[Goddess.Gyuri 3]

If they where to promote a ballad song then it's good. For a change.

And DSP's at it again, surping our monies Still buying this album and waiting for the Jap comeback.

ahhh they are so cute all dress in white . Usually i don't really like ballad, I prefer when they dance and sing at the same time. But Magic winter is okay.

[JJW 1]

omg, I love the album covers....especially album A!!!

I rarely ever buy Jpop albums. This is going to have to be an exception. So excited!!

[sweetofuu 6]

Is it me or did Gyuri get slimmer!!! She's sooo GODDESSY!!!!

[KARAddicted.01 92]

as usual they all look stunning.. but Jacket C gotta be my favorite one because it's different from the other too, it gives off a different feeling compared to the other 2.. Adding to that Nicole is in the middle, which rarely happens..

*crossing-fingers* for the PV, I don't want to expect a storyline just to end up a bit sad.. but still

I think it's a really great song, they do slow, mid tempo and fast songs all so well. With the Step album being so good and now this song, I think I became a fan of Kara at just the right time!

[Redresonance 5]

^^ I am actually hoping the PV of Winter Magic will turn out to be something like what YOBI posted. It'll be nice to have a PV having a good storyline to go with it, since the meaning of the song's so sentimental. And if it is, then we will get to see the girls' acting and expressions in a more serious kind of story, unlike in URAKARA, which is kind of more comical, not that it isn't good. I am just hoping to see a new side of the girls in PV story.

[harbag 3]

^ yeah me too..

for this song, i'm really hopeful the MV will have storyline and serious acting from the girls (+ cry/tears would be better)

because the big banner gives a lonely-romantic feeling and the "stay with me, close to me" lyrics also..

[Biscuit 0]

Let's all bow down to UMJ for actually making a decent cover this time *bows*.

They all look so flawless here. Usually in album covers, one member singularly stands out. But all of them lookg pretty here. Now I'm expecting the mv to be all soft and sparkly and the members looking ethereal and Goddesslike *__*

A bit WTH at the feathers, but maybe they're gonna be angels? Like winter angels?

[myhoneyclaire 0]

i think the song will do awesome in Japan!

its the type of song that would really be popular

and it has the perfect feel for Christmas and winter.

but yeah i hope the PV can have some sort of good plotline~

winter magic seems like the type of song to have a good PV

btw i thought kara was suppose to release a new full length album in Japan...

or are they gonna release one after this 5th single?

because they just released a full length album in Korea?

[reddumpling 206]

Love how Hara looks on the Jacket C, so winter-ish.

On that youtube video. Damn Kara's song is not even officially out and somebody made an amv with Makoto Shinkai's animated movie 5 Centimeters per Second. I love that movie to bits and know the storyline at the back of my palm and combined with Winter Magic...

Now I want to know the song lyrics..

I remember seeing somewhere that Winter magic topped the daily ringtone chaku-uta chart, while Step took over chaku-uta full. There were pics as well, but I'm on mobile now OTL. Can anyone do a double-check?

I think you're right, according to this : http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/index.html Step and Winter Magic are both No. 1. Great news.

I'm really excited for this release I know I'm going to buy all 3 versions I'm going to pre-order them tomorrow when I get paid

And I love how DSP is promoting them as JPop rather than Kpop stars singing in Japanese, I think that's probably why Japan loves them more than a lot of the recent Kpop groups promoting in Japan because KARA are actually making the effort to fit in and properly work for their success, whereas with other groups, you can tell that their companies are not serious about becoming established in Japan and just want to make more money while they can.

Anyway, I can't wait for the release, however I do hope they get to rest a bit before promoting and I LOVE all the album covers, they are really classy

[Solin 124]

All the covers of this new single is so beautiful !

It somehow makes me want to buy all the versions lol.

I hope that this new single will raise their fame in Japan even more

[minhtram 3]

i love all 3 covers. they are very beautiful and i like nicole best in covers, she' :eyelove: can't wait for PV :whistling:

I guess the middle one is how the MV will look like right?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SET!!!

[wjng 0]

Wow nice find there! Finally a preview of the set and a lovely one at that! I still can't decide which version to buy!

[neris 85]

WAHH~~~~~~ THAT SET IS HUGE<3!!! DSP has been liking the big set type, huh? XD

And the picture of the girls next to the set<3!! Looks like it won't just be close-ups and dancing.. Maybe just a little story line. Like that Honey video!! ^^ jing gets the hpone this time~ x3 Hehe, I loved her sewing the teddy bear part in honey though~ Now I feel like this PV is just an upgraded version of honey... Hopefully I'm wrong~ Kindof want something different from Honey mv.

but overall Idc, I just wanna see the preview already~!

btw.... that center... in the pv pic... who is it... O___o nicori~~!! where my cole~ >.< Okay so bias mode done! >.<

A winter magic billboard~~!!

cr: twitter

Yayy~ Cole middle ^^ OKAY, NOW I'm officially done with bias mode.

It's like dongsaeng line on the bench and then unni line ^^
