KARA confirms their comeback for September

KARA has announced that they’ll be making comeback in September!

The idol group will release their new album in mid-September, and will resume their activities in Korea for the first time in over six months. KARA is reportedly very busy, carrying out activities in Japan as well, and will only be able to promote their new album in Korea for about three weeks.

A representative stated, “Because KARA has many things scheduled, including an album release in Japan in October, they will only be able to promote in Korea for three weeks.”

The girls are also in the midst of choosing their lead song.

DSP Media commented, “They are currently reviewing which songs to be their title song. Two songs have been chosen so far, and they’ll soon choose their title song for their comeback.”

Regarding their new image, KARA is facing the choice between maintaining their usual bright concept or transforming into something new.

The representative has also stated, “They are trying their best to live up to their fans’ expectations.”

Korean album in September and Japanese album in October. *exciting~!

omg, i can't wait !!!
thanks for the info

Two new albums :luv2! Hopefully they won't use some of the songs on both albums.

onmgggggg:heart can't wait!!

OMG two new albums in two countries :thud

I hope they won't get too exhausted!

Well since Korea's definition of an album nowadays seems to be 6 songs (with one being an intro and another an instrumental), I have a feeling we'll get a full Japanese album from them, with about 4-5 of the songs from it in Korean for the Korean "album". That's honestly so exciting though. I kind of hope we only get JCL and Go Go Summer on the album and the b-sides are excluded, so we can have more new material.

fan-net lists a new Japanese single to be released on October 12th.

【シングル】 2011/10/12 - KARA - ウィンターマジック (Winter Magic)

^winter magic?:heart sounds cute!!!! <3

Winter Magic? In October? Ok...

I'm disappointed it isn't going to be a hot song like Jumpin' (the title makes that pretty obvious). I'm sure it'll still be great though. I just can't wait for the actual album!

Reading the title, we can expect another cute/pop song, i hope is good
I hope they can release more songs like Mister or Jumpin'

Winter magic sounds like a cute title.. I have too much cute kara this year :laugh
but I'll be ok with it, kara is good with that kind of concept anyway :P

But we still have hopes that they'll have sexy songs for korean comeback aren't we ? :3

The album’s limited edition will be in stores later this week on the 25th. One hundred fans who buy the limited edition of the album will be chosen to attend a special showcase by KARA on September 14th.

actually, im so glad that by advancing to the japanese market, they finally can sing more ballads (which hardly get ANY spotlight in Korea..unless OST)
