Thank you so much for posting the MV! As expected, the song translates beautifully in Japanese. I like how the storyline and choreography differs a bit from the Korean version yet the storybook she's reading seems to reference it and video doesn't stray too much from the original storyline. I also love the "jigeum jiguem" in the chorus, it's a very cute and catchy.

IU - You & I [Performance ver.] (short ver.):

I'm looking forward to seeing this in full as the choreography differs a bit from the Korean version.

IU, along with her labelmates Sunny Hill, Zia, Ga-In, and upcoming girl group FIESTA, will be releasing a summer album under "Loen Tree" titled "Summer Story". The title track will be titled "Sea of Moonlight(달빛 바다)" which is set to release on the 26th of this month. The teaser is posted below:

IU is planning her Korean comeback in March or April of next year!

Quote:

IU to return with a more mature concept around March or April of next year

It seems like IU, who has been keeping a relatively low profile these days, will be back promoting on music stages once more with a new comeback in store for March or April of next year!

The singer’s last official release was her ‘Spring of a 20 Year Old‘ single back in May of this year, so the comeback will be her first in almost a year.

Having gone through an image change recently as many felt that perhaps she should not be considered the “Nation’s Little Sister” anymore, it is said that IU will be focusing on the theme of ‘maturity’ with her comeback.

Although she may look young, remember, IU is into her 5th year since debut and will be turning 20 (international age) next year so it comes as natural that she begins to shed her former image for a more mature one.

But not to worry, for the bubbly and energetic IU you know, will still be there as she will be maintaining her energy but showing her growth and maturity through her sound and image.

As mentioned previously, IU was in consideration for some upcoming dramas, and it’s been revealed that while she is still keeping her options open, her main focus for now will be on her new album.

Tip: S.Lee

According to IU's Official Japanese website, she will be releasing a mini-album on March 20th!

Which are te new songs lol..I'm lost.

I'm lost too, lol.

I reformatted the post so it would be easier to read. I copied it directly from the website and have no idea why they would post the song titles horizontally rather than vertically. The mini album contains all new original songs (all of her previously released Japanese single songs are excluded) with the limited edition CD+DVD containing 6 songs (the last song is a bonus track) while the CD only has 5 songs. The DVD contains IU's history in Japan wihle the CD only has a first press bonus of a sticker.

New music, thanks for the info
