Orange Caramel and Kahi failed to reach Oricon top 100...

Ouch...

Kahi: 720 copies
Dress to kill: 561 copies (New total: 4,813)

^Ouch indeed...

Poor Bekah she was great in PLAYGIRLZ (song)

^I always thought Playgirlz was sung by Kahi and Bekah... until I found out Bekah only had 5 lines and it was mainly Kahi and Jung Ah singing/rapping the song.

LOL for reals. Stop talking about it and just GET OUT.

I still can't believe Orange Caramel doesn't have it's own thread still. It's so disappointing.

I downloaded "Dress to kill" some time ago but finally decided to give it a listen today and it exceeded my expectations! I really like the album, however, I'm saddened to see it didn't do so well on Oricon (but it seems as though female kpop groups have seen a decline in sales in general in Japan). I ordered the CD+DVD edition today and will be ordering the regular edition (for the Japanese ver. of FLASHBACK) at another time so it will give their sales a very small boost at least, lol.

Although Orange Caramel is just a subunit, I think they are deserving of their own thread as well. I typically only visit this thread to post and read information about them so it would be convenient to have a separate thread for them. I'm just too lazy to make it myself, lol.

I think is OK to post info about OC here, i'm to lazy to check another thread, XD

^^ Please upload FLASHBACK in lossless format!!

I was going to buy the Taiwan/HK ver. of the album but it seems they're not releasing it o.O

I bought the CD Only edition of "Dress to kill" with the Japanese version of FLASHBACK today, but as it is coming by SAL mail, it may take approximately two weeks to arrive. However, if you are unable to find it in lossless format by the time it arrives, I would be more than happy to upload it for you.

They are so epic to be wearing orange juice and fries and set meals on stage XD
Girls have been in the top 10 for the past month! AWESOME!

Is this their most popular single ?

They deserve to win, but APINK is getting all the awards now :(

Dress to kill (Taiwan Edition) debuted at #10 in Taiwan (This week)

visionfactory: I received my copy of the CD only edition of "Dress to kill" with FLASHBACK (JPN Ver.) today and uploaded it in lossless format for you and anyone else who would like to have it.

thanks AyusakiFan !

You're welcome! I also have "Lucky Girl" from the mu-mo edition that I can upload in lossless as well if anyone needs it.

OMG!! that's so nice of your part!! :D Thanks a lot I really love FLASHBACK :love

I cant believe how horrible that flashback is compared to the original. Which made me fall for after school. So sad they kipped so quickly. its because they beat the shit out of those poor girls. And Uee. :c

Flashback sounds better in Korean tbh.

When I overplay a song, the song gets boring, if I alternate between Korean and Japanese version I don't get bored of the song so fast

I'm assuming they mean May 19th? Which is today :D

Pledis is doing an audition in Japan!!!!
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...type=2&theater

This means one of two things
1) New group
2) New After School/NU'EST members

OMG !!

They don't know what to do with After School and NU'EST imo.
I think maybe they want to create a group with members of different asian countries.

And why didn't they mention Hello Venus ?

Orange Caramel CF song"Abing Abing" for Baskin' Robbins

Orange Caramel never fail. They're amazing. Maybe they'll put out a summer album? I'd definetly buy it!

^^Omg I love it~ The song is so catchy and they look really pretty.
Nana's Orea ice cream looks delicious!

Thank you so much for posting the music video! I absolutely love the song and I think it's perfect for summer! I was all excited about Jiyeon's 'Never Ever[1분1초]' MV (which I still like) but when this dropped, it stole all of my attention! Orange Caramel never disappoints! I wish this song would be on their next album but Korean CF songs rarely (or never) are put on an album. I guess we'll have to wait and see if it will though because it would be an injustice if it wasn't included. Here's the CF:

It's true, CF songs are always underrated. Many are horrible, but some are good, like this <3

So glad that OC is becoming more active!!

^Yes, I think they are more active because Catallena was a good single with amazing digital sales.

Baskin Robbins Korea has released individual MV cuts of Nana, Lizzy, and Raina on their youtube channel.

Nana


Raina


Lizzy


Also, Orange Caramel has gotten another endorsement deal!

^That's great news. I wonder why they're wearing their LIPSTICK outfits? Unless it's an old photo.

Now release a thing in japanese! Please!!

In other news the japanese mini concert of After School will be held soon

Orange Caramel is killing After School, they don't need their unnis anymore. j/k

I'm happy for them

I hope After School makes a comeback soon with lots of CFs and promotion. Imo they are so underrated.

Im not sure if these have been shared
but ORANGE CARAMEL appeared on Picnic Live a while ago
They performed acoustic versions of all their songs and the programme also showcased some of the most amazing OC fan covers :)

^That's great!! it seems that everyone likes OC ^_^

There was quite a scandal days ago because fans of After School are mad at them because they didn't pay much attention to them in an event.. now 2 of 3 After School fanclubs are closed (?) and Pledis made a public apologize to the fans. Raina personally made a tweet apologizing about the incident but the fans got even more enraged and later she deleted those tweets...

So much drama going on (Sorry for my bad english)

I think it's a temporary closure. To show their displeasure. Pledis has indeed officially apologized. I hope this wont impact too much on them in future >< sigh

Those acoustic version sound so good. They should release an acoustic album.

Ms.Independent LIVE!! :heart :heart :heart

E-YOUNG PLAYING THE BASS!

^That was great, she's so talented.

I love their school uniforms. And is that Jung Ah as the teacher? :laugh

YET NO THREAD OF THEIR OWN

Raina made a song with San e. The song is topping the charts in Korea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMAJOrybI6g

the song hit #1 on all charts :D

ABING ABING!

Ice-creams <3

AFTERSCHOOL Japan Tour 2014 "Dress to Kill" (Tentative)

11/21　19:00　TOKYO
11/22　14:00　TOKYO
11/22　18:00　TOKYO
11/24　15:00　OSAKA
11/24　19:00　OSAKA

Note: UEE will not be taking part of these concerts

^Is she busy with another drama ?

Anyway, Orange Caramel is having another comeback in this month, yay !!! You can check some MV pics on allkpop.

yay for new tour!!!
after so long from the album

and gurl, just graduate already...put ara and yoonjo into AS now

I love each AS member but UEE, please, it's like this all the time. So just graduate and focus on your acting and like freedreamer mentioned, just put Yoonjo and Ara in the group.

The thing now is that she's not recording any drama, I think OC members are busy too but they are always supporting AS unlike Uee who is always missed

^Maybe her graduation is before November ?

UEE is still in this group? Most passive member since Kibum from Super Junior.

Well, it's true, but After School isn't very active anyway these months.

which i honestly think is partly because of her too. and perhaps Nana. Both of them are the most active outside of AS..

Orange Caramel will release a new single on August 18th. It's called 'Do It Like I Do'.

Here are some pictures from the MV:

I love Lizzy's expression lol

^Me too, hahaha.

HAHAHAHA

^ZOMG love it!!! But honestly would have preferred something from AS this'll be their second comeback this year...;/ I love OC but damn girls let's get back to AS already!!!

I feel like Korea likes OC more and Japan likes AS more

It should be the other way around though

great cover

TEASER

Love the cover and the MV teaser. The dance is so cute.

Previous teaser is blocked.

a new one is up now hahaha



LIPSTICK FEELS OMGGGGG

I can't wait :D

I thought Raina was the girl sitting with the placard above the bear u.U

cute and cool

One of the most creative and original music videos ever :)
I hope they rock this

they're getting repeatable, predictable, and the same goes with their songs. so far I only liked the song with ping-pong

I love the song and the MV. I think the MV is really fun and creative. The song is really catchy :D

Hopefully AS will make a comeback soon.

I'm glad we have this OC's new song <3

I really like the new song, and it makes me wonder if there's a new OC album coming before an AS comeback

^I don't think so, Seventeen (another Pledis male group) is going to debut, after that, an AS' comeback is possible, but we have Kahi and Son Dam Bi too.

Talking about AS, "First Love" was a boring song the last year, and if they are going to release another song like that, I prefer another OC's comeback. I didn't have a problem with the concept (the pole-dancing was great) but the song is so SISTAR, ugh.

Dance version:



Raina and Lizzy were asked about After School activities during an interview, here's Raina's response:

source: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/...ool-activities

no AS comeback means no AS comeback forever

I love Orange Caramel so much. I miss Afterschool I loved First Love. Love Beat shouldn't been more. But those broads ain't getting any younger

I understand that they don't wanna make a comeback in Korea because First Love did terrible, their practiced a whole year for this comeback and it was their second worst selling single with sales just above their debut single

^I didn't know it had terrible sales, but I hope they can get a really good song to make a comeback.

^

#1 FLASHBACK (18,300)
#2 Because of you (7,800)
#3 RED+BLUE (7,800)
#4 Virgin (7,200)
#5 Bang! (6,600)
#6 First Love (5,800)
#7 AH (5,500)

Lizzy did the Ice Bucket Challenge:

Poor Lizzyyyyyyyyyyy-san

UEE also did the challenge. You can see her video here: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/...cket-challenge

Oh my Nana, I didnt know FLASHBACK had done so well :shakehead Such a fall from it to First Love, what a shame... I love both the song and all the pole dance choreography, not to mention the amazingness of Dressing Room

^Dressing Room was amazing indeed, I wish they used it as a follow up song :bsigh

^Yes Dressing Room was amazing definitely would have been a great followup, but during Flashback era I had really hoped for Nana to do Eyeline at least a couple times with some backup dancers I'm still addicted to that song.

I'm glad I'm not the only fan of Dressing room after all :laugh I even though they were going to make a Japanese version of it on Dress to kill, cause of the title of the album, they totally should have not wasted this :laugh

I love Dressing Room too!! I think it's as good as First Love and it would sound nice in japanese. I like Love Beat too (which I discovered today lol)

I loved the Michael Jackson oufit omg :laugh Wonder if they'll do this copycat-oufit for other artists also

^I really hope so!

Dance practice, the ending is hilarious :laugh:



EDIT:

Inkigayo:

Loving them so much! Their lives are so cool!!!! omgosh

I like their lives too

I want an instrumental for my copycat so bad

I cant believe first love did worse than virgin.

omg the dance practice :roflmao i love it hahahaha

Frozen *_______*

^ I died lmao

Love the little changes they made in the choreography to fit the Marilyn Monroe theme.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't like First Love :/ After Flasshback, I thought FL was a huge dissapointment.

But I really love their Dress to kill album, it's one of the best jpop albums of the year, in my opinion.
