I recently became a fan of Orange Caramel so I'm looking forward to the single release as well! My boyfriend lost a bet on Saturday so he had to preorder the variety edition for me yesterday, so I can't wait to receive it. I really want to hear the Japanese version of "Milkshake" as it's one of my favorite songs from their album "Lipstick".

Why did they have to wear Uggs? :bawl (Personally I think Ugg shoes are really hideous, that's just my personal opinion, I apologize if anyone is offended)

ahtka-chan 11th December 2012 03:03 PM

Hey guys, I know I'm a little late and such but I first heard Lipstick yesterday and It's a really catchy song!

But I noticed that, when I listen to the song thru my earphones, seems like I can hear a kind of saxophone among the instruments, something that I can't hear if I'm listening the song on the radio or in my computer.

Is it just me?

AyuHamasaki01 11th December 2012 03:16 PM

^No, it's not. Some of us are having the same problem. When I play LIPSTICK on my cellphone or iPod (gen 5 with the microphone) I can't hear the saxophone.

Thank you so much for posting the release party! I watched the whole video and enjoyed it thoroughly! It was great to see them perform all of their Japanese songs as well as "Aing♡"! I'd really love for them to release "Aing♡" in Japanese even though I'm typically not one to encourage remakes, lol. Although it's a bit early to say this, I'm looking forward to their next Japanese single and hope that they can perform on music shows for their next round of promotions!

i believe it would be made in Japanese perhaps in the next single haha!


AND HERE'S LIZZY'S SOLO TRACK WITH ANDUP!!!
wow im really LOVING her voice!! It's so unlike the Lizzy we always hear...really awesome song :D

AyuHamasaki01 17th December 2012 05:35 PM

^Omg.... Her voice is just amazing. Amazing song!


EDIT:

You can download Lizzy's song here: http://dlkpopalbum.tumblr.com/post/3...upcake-project

EDIT II: How do you guys tag the song? As 'Cosmetic' or '코스메틱' or 'Cosmetic (코스메틱)'? :D

mobius 18th December 2012 12:31 AM

^ I normally tag it as 코스메틱 (Cosmetic). Problem with that is the ipod player in my car can't read Hangul. It reads like this "**** (Cosmetic). lol.

Lizzy's voice is pretty impressive. I really liking her voice in this solo and Clara's dream in the O.C. album. I was hoping she would do some rapping in this solo project. It would be kind of epic! lol.

On another note, really loving all these O.C. song titles, "Dashing thru the snow on high heels", Cosmetic, Lipstick, Eyeline....lol.

After School and Hello Venus attend the wedding ceremony of their CEO

The girls of After School and Hello Venus recently attended the wedding ceremony for the CEO of their company, Han Sung Soo.

It was previously reported that the CEO of Pledis Entertainment would be tying the knot on Christmas Day to a daughter of famous Korean designer Park Yoon Soo. The girls of both idol groups can be seen enjoying the festive atmosphere.

In a photo uploaded by After School member Jooyeon, the ladies of After School are definitely enjoying themselves on this special occasion. Notably, former After School member Bekah is also present in the picture, confirming the close bonds that exist within Pledis Entertainment.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the packed wedding hall, Hello Venus’ Yoo Ara and Lime snapped a friendly couple shot together, clinking glasses to commemorate the wedding.

Congratulations to Han Sung Soo!

freedreamer 28th December 2012 02:19 AM

I know right??
Theyre still so cute haha

I realized..OC's LIPSTICK is totally in the same vein as Ayu's LOVE again btw. They released Magic Girl and A~ing in the name of mini albums but songs from those all made it into LIPSTICK. (i still felt cheated at that time..but it was a good compilation of all their songs). So, well..I guess I shouldnt be so pissed about LOVE again. LOL..justsaying

AyuHamasaki01 28th December 2012 09:02 AM

^Well Magic Girl was released in 2010 and LIPSTICK in 2012, so there's 2 years between the release of the mini album and the release of the full length album. And Shanghai Romance was released in 2011. While Ayu releases 2 mini albums and a full length album in 4 or 5 months.

And all the songs on LIPSTICK are all full length songs (new and old songs). I don't think all the new songs on LOVE again will be full lenght songs (I suppose it's safe to assume that task'n'bass will be an interlude).

OC only included title tracks (and solo songs) on the LIPSTICK album while Ayu uses all the songs (of LOVE and again) on the new album...

... I'm just trying to find a way to cope with the release of LOVE again :scry ... Because it really feels like a slap in the face.
And no offense to you freedreamer, not at all, I guess I'm just trying to say that in Ayu's case, you have every right to be pissed :laugh

I Am pissed HAHA! I definitely feel that it's just downright wrong. Though the timing factor you mentioned made me wonder about something. and also the number of new full-length songs on LIPSTICK is equal to those in LOVE again.

Pledis did still market it as a Mini album for Aing and Magic Girl (which had 2 songs omg..lol). And actually...it feels worst thinking that...leading up to this full length 2 years later, you get almost everything (only The Day You Went Away -Chinese and Korean- was left out) that has been released for the past 2 years. Two years gives fans even more time to believe that material will no longer be re-produced. Whereas in Ayu's case, it was two months.

But ultimately its still how they marketed it. for OC it worked really well. since the full album was really to showcase every member and all their past hits, it was kind of like a compilation. Especially since they are a subunit and subunits RARELY EVER get a full album. 2 years gave people sufficient time to know them and hence LIPSTICK was a good compilation for newer fans. (seeing from LIPSTICK's chart longevity)

(seeing from LIPSTICK's chart longevity)

So if I get this correctly, you are saying that what OC did in 2 years, Ayu does in a few months?
If so then I totally agree. And yes, I do wish OC's album had more new songs (at least a new group song instead of Superwoman because Raina already had like 2 solo songs) however, like you said, LIPSTICK is definitely a nice collection of their songs and also because they are a sub unit.

I think for me the reason why I am pissed off by the release of LOVE again and not pissed off because of LIPSTICK is because TeamAyu staff said we would get 14 new songs. And we only got 5 (not counting interludes). They also put all of the songs on LOVE and again on LOVE again... Personally, I'd rather have a new mini album than a full length album of which half of the songs are already on two other mini albums. :scry

And LIPSTICK is just -:love- I dunno, I guess the release of the full length LIPSTICK album made sense somehow whereas LOVE again doesn't.

.... Oh I don't even know what I just said/typed or where my argument is going :roflmao

It does look like she somewhat slipped but it's also part of the choreography as you can see here at 0:35:



I think she wanted to duck and then somewhat slipped :D Just my opinion though.

I love Mystic White's song, is awesome, but the Dazzling Red's song is a bit boring.

mobius 31st December 2012 02:11 PM

After watching the SBS color of kpop performances I slightly like Mystic White song more than Dazzling Red.

Flashback remix sounds fanmade :no

AyuHamasaki01 1st January 2013 11:08 AM

After School performing Flashback at MBC Gayo Daejaejun.


CoriKaru 2nd January 2013 04:12 AM

These remixes really must go. So must this old song.

adantatu2 4th January 2013 06:30 AM

I like Flashback, but the remixes are bad

After School's meaningful hug on 311212
The girls are so close to each other. Proud to be a Playboyz :D


After School's 2013 Comeback update
Quote:

121212 : JungAh , the current leader in After School already hinted some time ago that they were busy preparing for their comeback album. [ mini / full ] is not known. She left a message on the fan cafe

121231 : Raina updated the japan playgirlz blog that AS is currently undergoing "RECORDING " progress.

130101 : Also On the 1st of 2013 in shimshimtapa (radio) jungah said "AFTERSCHOOL" is practicing a "PERFORMANCE"for their upcoming comeback [ PledisAStrans]
Video here[audio only] with ENG SUB http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-BY-nWEBU4

130104 : A fan tweets to TEXU Kim [ the producer of flashback] . He replied stating that he's 'trying' to work on After School's next release [ ADZ] [ unconfirmed ]

From the way I see, big chance that TEXU is producing a track for AS next album but whether it's going to be their title track or not, that still remains unsure.

* Comeback date is still unknown but we're suspecting it on MARCH.
Earliest could be on February but considering them attending concert in AUS and FAN meeting in BANGKOK- slim chance.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM!!! (here we see OC doing better than AS definitely)

AyumiAi 8th January 2013 05:50 AM

^ lol how?? XD they only released flashback... or is that with japanese sales combined?

Kouyou 8th January 2013 07:27 AM

Since After School hasn't released anything new in a while, I wanted to get your guys' opinions on something. Do you guys prefer After School's Korean album or Japanese album? Just curious; they're so different.

freedreamer 8th January 2013 03:19 PM

Honestly I think in Japan, they each sing more? Like in Virgin, Juyeon and Uie kinda only sang in Shampoo..which is really sad. But they've improved so I'm really looking forward. I hope they would have more songs AS A GROUP rather than have unit songs and solos that comprise most of the album.

I think I'm looking forward to their Korean album more. I think they really NEED a Japanese single soon. its been 6 months and they havent really used KaEun's ability for the Japanese market, which was their intention when they added her. Kinda ironic.

adantatu2 9th January 2013 03:10 AM

The japanese album is really good, my least favourite is Miss Futuristic.
I need to listen Virgin again, i can't remember many songs

ahtka-chan 9th January 2013 02:27 PM

The only songs I like from Virgin (not counting the previous singles) is Let's Step Up and Virgin itself hahaha I tolerate Shampoo.

The japanese album is really good! Just in Time ♥

Based on the information provided in the link, it looks like there will be two limited editions with a DVD (Tsutaya seems to be selling them bundled together in that link). If it's anything like After School's Japanese album release, one will probably have music videos while the other one may have live performances. Anyways, I'm super excited about it and I hope that preorder links will appear on other websites soon!

Kouyou 9th January 2013 06:28 PM

Seems like the general consensus is that the Japanese album is better and I have to agree. The Korean album was good, but could be quite dull at times. I love the singles but it's hard to remember some of the album tracks even though I've listened to Virgin many times.

I'm happy to hear Orange Caramel is releasing a full-length Japanese album... but I would prefer to hear that After School as a whole is releasing something new. :laugh

adantatu2 10th January 2013 03:12 AM

To be honest i'm a bit tired of Orange Caramel, XD.
They released a korean album, 2 japanese singles, a single with NUES'T, and now a full japanese album, and what happened with After School ?? NOTHING !!!! That's a reason for hate sub-units.

Anyway, i'm sure i'm going to listen their album, and i'm going to like it, damn it !!

freedreamer 10th January 2013 03:33 AM

i dun really like the idea how AS's comeback keeps getting delayed. I understand Pledis wants them to branch out so that they would have something to do when they graduate and stuff but not focusing on music is also a bad thing. I tihnk they gotta find a balance. AS is definitely not at the stage where they can have 1 comeback per year...since their popularity really doesnt feel THAT high. but seeing how Flashback did, honestly, if they appeared more on MUSIC shows, they could really get somewhere big in 2013. I think 2013 will be the birth of a new subunit though...haha

freedreamer 10th January 2013 03:52 AM

AFTERSCHOOL 1st Japan Playgirlz Tour DVD/Blu-ray will be released on 27th MARCH 2013

adantatu2 10th January 2013 04:11 AM

^thanks a lot!!! At least is something new !!!! If they make an OS press, i'm sure i'm going to buy it !!

If it were up to me, the only previous tracks that would make it to the Japanese album would be My Sweet Devil and Lum no Love Song. All the rest would be new songs or new covers, but we all know that won't happen. :(

x-megumi-x 10th January 2013 07:55 PM

^ For sure that won't happen :no

CoriKaru 11th January 2013 08:23 AM

I haven't even listened to their Virgin Album. Something about it feels sloppy and fat free.

Even so, I still bet their Japanese Album is better than it.
