KARA, preparing for co-promotion in Japan and Korea, has revealed their new track, "Jumping." The promotion for Jumping will take place simultaneously in Japan and Korea.

In Japan, Jumping is included in KARA's second Japanese single, to be released on the 10th, and first original album, to be released on the 24th. In Korea, Jumping is included in KARA's 4th mini album, scheduled to drop on the 17th.

KARA will show two different personalities in the two versions of the song, and fans are anticipating.

On the 3rd and the 4th, KARA revealed the teaser pictures for all the members, officially initiating their Korean comeback. The style of "Jumping" utilizes monochromic geometric patterns, showing KARA's mature image.

DSP Entertainment stated, "KARA's image exudes cool and urban chic, with a tinge of modernness. KARA is able to show their individual mature charm with this image."

The image of "Jumping" revealed in Japan is vastly different. Whereas the Korean image is more cool, the Japanese image emphasizes more on the style of contemporary women.

KARA will have different promotional activities in Korea and Japan, which are still being planned. The Japanese Jumping PV is more focused on the choreography whereas
the Korean MV puts emphasis on the storyline, and fans have been eagerly anticipating Han Seungyeon's crying scene
.

Even though KARA has merely started their activities in Japan less than three months ago, they have received numerous invitations from local TV shows, but they have been unable to attend the majority of them.

KARA has been absent from the Korean entertainment scene for a long period of time, and fans are anxiously awaiting for their comeback activities.

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I need my teaser now!!! :D :D :D

Gonna have to wait until both PV and MV are out to choose which version and concept I like better though. This will also be the first storyline MV for Kara right? I'm not too sure how a song like Jumping will develop a solid storyline since the song is bubbly and short, but will be looking forward to it nonetheless.

PS: Wanna MV does not count as a storyline lol.

Promotion for the same song, just different form of the song, so jumping in japan, was more focused on the choregraph, so it was more upbeat. Cause they would need it to me upbeat so they would be able to dance to it. Well I think the korea was is going to be more like sad, since DSP say that the mv is more focused on a storyline, which song that are like ballad usually have a storyline. So the japan is more upbeat and focused on the choregraph, the korea could be another transform by KARA to a ballad song. Since most ballad have a storyline. If you heard the song jumping with eng sub, you can tell it could be a sad song, if you just take away the beat of the song. Oh man I can't wait for the teaser to come out, I do hope it a ballad, because it would show KARA vocal, and that KARA can sing. Also can't wait for seungyeon crying scene, that would conform my predication tat this song is going to be a ballad song. If it a ballad it another great transform from KARA, cute(rock you/pretty girl), beautiful angel(honey), sexy diva(wanna/mister), dark mysteious/mature(lupin), now sad and emotionous(jumping).
