couple teasers

[shirenuファクトリー]

Speed Up looks delightfully sexy :3

The song clips haven't convinced me yet

[shirenuファクトリー]

Might as well start a new thread ayeh?

MV teasers:





(I tried to quote storyboard but it seems quotes automatically switch off the YT embedding)

Basically, it looks like the songs are split SEXY/CUTE

[Flyp]

Speed Up PV is out!



Don't know if I'm digging this song (too much autotune for my tastes), but damn the MV is hot.  Nicole's long hair is back <3 and man, Seungyeon is smokin' here too~

Looking forward to seeing the other video, the song seems more my style... but I haven't really been feeling their Japanese releases.

[shirenuファクトリー]

Yeah not warming up to the song, but...

DAMN, SEUNGYEON!!!!!!! 

[md007]

So basically Kara has to faces: sexy and cute. Interesting...

Anyways, I like more 「GIRL'S POWER」one.  I guess that's because it has a certain "anime" style    . 「SPEED UP」is good,
but I dont think its as good as its B side. But its likely more people will think the other way around  ....

[md007]

For a song called Speed Up, I think it has a slow beat, I dont understand Also the autotune thing is 

The B side. I like it more, but, of course, it fits my taste better. I like that "anime" kinda style it has 

Thanks for the clips

T___T

[md007]

What can I say? Autotune, abit but still there is. And very nice dance/music/outfits 

Reminds me the Honey MV, but with a lot of colors 

I liked it 

[Kamesan]

Speed Up



Girls Power

I'm still not sure what's funnier, Hitori's utter dedication or that Yaguch is utterly confused by it all 

[md007]

Wow, I didnt even know about those videos. They're good 

And if I was in his position, I would had done the same

I'm still not sure what's funnier, Hitori's utter dedication or that Yaguch is utterly confused by it all 

Yaguch was great, and everytime he mentioned his wife Akane, and what Akane would say or do, was really funny as well- Hitori is surrounded by two practical and smart ladies! And Hitori sums up how many fans feel about whoever their idol(s) is.

Did you downloaded it?  I do not know for sure but this one looks a lot better than my previous version of MR that was 1440x1080, 350MB . With VLC media player looks bad though, all interlaced, and with MPC home theater there are sound problems. With Pot Player, de-interlace setting to frame double  is really nice on a HD TV.
