2am, Kara, and just a touch of SHINee ;)

2am released their 1st full length album and two MV’s for “Like Crazy” and “You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls” . The albim is really good its got a nice blend of the beautiful ballads we have all grown to love from them and some more up tempo songs that a fun to listen to. Over all i think that if you are a 2AM fan you will not be disappointed with this album at all. Now the MV’s… “Like Crazy” it’s a good song i like it and the MV is really nice, clean, crisp, and simple. The textures and visuals along with the wardrobe in the video not being over done but IMO a tad (just a tad) under done really let you focus on the guys voices and the feeling of the song. It was quite nice. The Second MV for “You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls” Feels like a Long Scene out of an intense drama. You really get sucked in but unfortunatly you kinda so sucked into the story and trying to figure out OMG WHAT IS GOING ON OMG WHY! NO DON’T ANSWER THAT DOOR NOOOOOOOO! that you barely pay attention to the other three guys in the group or even the song for that matter it literally become like an OST to the MV its like 0.0 umm was there a really good song playing in the background?? oh crap imma have to watch it again cause my focus was on the drama the WHOLE time.

But anyways here are the MV’s maybe your own opinions about them and some tracks from the new album as well under them (pick up the CD from Yesasia.com or Whoever you buy your kpop goodies from if your liking what you hear 😛 and especially if your a big 2AM fan SUPPORT YOUR GROUPS GUYS AND GALS SUPPORT THEM!)

and this one is my personal fave… 🙂

Now onto KARA who released their new Japanese Single “Jumping” now imma about to rant real quick because i feel like this needs to be said now if you disagree thats fine you have the right to but hear me out for a minute. So obviously SNSD PWNS Kara in the korean market when it comes to popularity that is a solid fact. So solid that it is probably written in print in a book of kpop facts somewhere in South Korea. IDK but here is my point so KARA goes over to japan and starts promoting there and HOLY CRAP they are welcomed very well and find popularity in JAPAN. They seem to fit in very nicely over there and gather fans and intrest quickly and doing Dare i say it way better than they did in Korea and so they start climbing the charts and breaking all these records for a Korean Girl group in Japan and everything is going great they were on their way of getting a solid footing into the Japanese market and even quite possibly being the fave Korea Girl group in Japan but then…. oh what do you Know SNSD decides We are going to release Japanese versions of our Korean Hits as well and debut into the Japanese market as well and guess what happend they have OVERSHADOWED poor KARA again! i mean SHISUS could they have not given KARA some time to like at least build a stable fan base and got some of the recognition they deserved in KOREA in JAPAN but NOOO! SNSD plowed in and swept that carpet out from under them and was like “Sorry girls we gotta beat your asses in EVERY country not just our own.” I feel so bad for Kara especially now that SNSD is breaking all these records in Japan and KARA just released this new Single which is great and NO offense to KARA but they do some much better in the Japanese market 😦 but thier hard work is being shawdowed by their hometown rivals AGAIN and in a DIFFERENT COUNTRY at that. I just find it sad and had to say something about it. I have nothing against SNSD but like DAYUM YALL let some other people have the limelight too they work their asses off just as much as you do. Just saying. /End Rant

Now here is their new single it’s great and catchy not SUPER AMAZING cause honestly the only girl group i ever got really into is 4minute so yeah… My lack of enthusiasm is evident with all girl groups.
