I've never been so excited for something from After School. Heaven is so nicely produced and the music video for it might be my favourite music video from this year. When is the single coming out digitally?

visionfactory 21st September 2013 06:24 AM

Heaven was already released on Recochoku (If you mean iTunes I don't know...)

Yeah I meant Recochoku. I can't find any download for it yet. I'd buy it myself but idk how to buy from Recochoku

taskinillusion 23rd September 2013 10:05 PM

I was just going to ask where a download for the single was... so it's not out yet?

Title and info on Kahi's 2nd solo mini album was just released :D

Quote:

Yes you read right, Kahi is finally making her return to the Kpop scene!

Word has finally come from Pledis, who announced, "Kahi will be releasing her second mini album 'Who Are You?' on October 10th."

They also added, "If her first mini album was her first step as a solo singer Kahi, then this album will be one that showcases the various charms of artist Kahi."

The singer has apparently been putting her all into preparing for this comeback by meeting with the composers and staff herself, and is ready to show you an even more upgraded performance with this album.

She's left for Barcelona to film the music video for her title track, so be on the lookout for more info on that as well as details on her return!

Source: allkpop
btw I've heard rumours that she's going to do a collaboration song with Bekah

freedreamer 25th September 2013 04:39 AM

I'M SO EXCITED OMGGGGGG
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!

btw:

adantatu2 25th September 2013 06:49 AM

^Thanks !!!
Crazy Driver is so different, sadly they have to use autotune in the entire song, it was unnecesary IMO.

AyuHamasaki01 25th September 2013 07:15 PM

Yes finally~ My body is ready for Kahi's comeback and for a collab with Bekah. I'd be so happy with a Kahi and Bekah collaboration.

That teaser. Much to be desired.

I expect nothing.

Celaphorce 3rd October 2013 11:43 PM

Ugh!!! Why can't I find a full single download ANYWHERE?! i don't mind ordering it but I don't have the money to dole out for that right now :( so sad, but on a good note looks like that Kahi & Bekah collab was no joke, I can't WAIT to hear it!!

adantatu2 4th October 2013 05:12 AM

Do you want the instrumentals and the japanese version of First Love ????

Celaphorce 4th October 2013 02:46 PM

^yes especially the instrumentals I love when singles have those I'm an instrumental freak >_<

adantatu2 5th October 2013 01:40 AM

Wow; really not what I expected from Kahi but still interesting nonetheless. That doesn't even sound like her voice!

THIS!! I know it's just a teaser but I'm not feeling the direction it's going in, and her haircut...omg just put some extensions in please cause that's not doing you any justice...hopefully the mini-album as a whole is something to look forward to cause right now this is definitely not what I've been waiting for...:(

Rottyful Sky revealed to be the composer behind Kahi's solo comeback song 'It's ME'

Many celebrities have been expressing their sadness at the passing away of singer Rottyful Sky, also known as Haneul (which is Korean for 'sky'). Among them, there's one artist whose upcoming comeback is closely tied to the late Haneul.

Kahi, who is returning as a soloist, recently revealed that Rottyful Sky had composed her comeback song "It's ME". She tweeted, "Rottyful Sky... Haneul is Alice Sky, the composer for my comeback song 'It's ME'..... It is Haneul's first piece of work... It has become her last ... For Haneul.... I will sing... Please remember Haneul... Haneul... rest.... Everyone please pray for Haneul and her family... rest in peace".

Kahi will be releasing her second solo mini-album later today, but has already released a MV teaser for "It's ME". Make sure you check it out here or below to see what kind of piece Rottyful Sky poured her talents into. The teaser has a very catchy tune and even whispers 'Alice Sky', so make sure you give it a listen and also anticipate the full release.
I hope everyone in Korea can apprieciate Kahi's comeback and late Rottyful Sky's first and last work ><

CoriKaru 10th October 2013 02:56 AM

Sounds like she's capitalizing.

adantatu2 16th October 2013 01:44 AM

Almost 20k, oh well, but the sales are still good :)
And i don't like Kahi's comeback song, it's weak, and her voice sounds so different. But she looks beautiful.

CoriKaru 16th October 2013 10:32 AM

Was she even moving her lips during that "live."

Horrible.

The "dancing", the "singing", the "song". No.

^which version did you order? :) oh and which photocard did you get? :P
I got mine as well a few days ago, got the Photobooklet version, not bad, I just don't like the blurry effect that much..

adantatu2 31st October 2013 03:00 AM

avex is so smart and evil, if you want more pics you need to buy the photobook edition.

I ordered CD only ver, I got Kaeun photo card

Kouyou 31st October 2013 11:23 AM

I bought the photobook edition of Heaven when it first came out and I got the Juyeon photocard.

Utena 31st October 2013 11:53 AM

Got Juyeon's card as well :)
Would have preferred Nana, Jungah or Uee's but hey oh, I don't mind :)

Heaven is officially out of charts (Out of top 300, because it sold less than 312 copies)

Total sales at the moment: 19,884

Maybe they will rise a bit to reach 20k in the yearly chart

visionfactory 7th November 2013 02:44 AM

This week performance


So they are back in Korea? Next comeback will be Korean I guess

I loved how Raina nailed the live with her vocals :3

adantatu2 7th November 2013 05:54 AM

I wonder why Lizzy and Nana aren't on the first song.

Anyway, Do you prefer First Love or Flashback?

I prefer Flashback, the song is catchy, sexy and the choreo is nice.
First Love without the pole-dancing is a bit boring.

inthezone 7th November 2013 12:21 PM

I am dead at e-youngs vocals

visionfactory 7th November 2013 05:34 PM

Yeah, I preffer Flashback over non-pole dance First Love

I think it was sudden and they didn't have time to learn the new coreography, a few days ago they were in Japan promoting on a radio station

What's going on with everyone changing their hairstyles lately :grumpy they looked way better during First Love promo

JackieRos 7th November 2013 06:56 PM

The vocals were kind of all over the place.


I really love nana's hair!

AyuHamasaki01 7th November 2013 08:05 PM

Lizzy, Jung Ah... what did you do with your hair? It looks aweful.

adantatu2 8th November 2013 12:19 AM

Lizzy and Jungah look like sisters.
And nana has dark hair again, i think i like it!

CoriKaru 8th November 2013 01:29 AM

I'm sorry, but.....

1. When did Jung-ah's vocals start to sound like the others'? $h!t
She better do what U-ie does. Pretend.

2. What is U-ie doing with that basic wig on? You can't be my favorite looking like a last minute addition they just threw a jacket on and let go. Hair and Make Up, Hair and Make Up. But especially your hair. Poor lil' E-young even stands out more than you and E-young.......

3. ......looks like a boy with a touch of down syndrome in it. She can thank her wig for that, then grasp it and "RIP OFF!"

4. I didn't even realize Raina had changed her hair until Nana came out and wowed me with how to really rock them dark locks. Then again, Raina never matters until the bridge where she screams.

5. Lizzy........you took the gimmic- poles away and now not even the live is worth it. This song now completely sucks.

6. Joo-yeon........don't do what Lizzy and Jung-ah did. I thought Jung-ah was you for one moment and nearly popped vessels all in my eye. This made me appreciate you all the more when I realized your hair still fell below yo' TEMPLES.

7. Nana.......YAS Girl.

8. The newest member that just got there.........do something to make me remember your name, know who you are on stage, and if you wasn't there, show up.

RikkuK 9th November 2013 07:20 PM

WHAT. A. MESS. I kept hearing the feedback from the microphones. Like did they even rehearse?

And Raina was like a a tick behind every time she sang. You could tell when they aren't lip-syncing because its a little late and sounds awful lol

and who's this new bish trying to upstage everyone? AINT NOBODY WANTS 2 SEE U

visionfactory 9th November 2013 07:32 PM

I think.....maybe.....there is a possibility they didn't know we can hear the mics XD and Raina was just singing because she loves singing (?)

JackieRos 10th November 2013 05:18 AM

Wait, whose new?

visionfactory 10th November 2013 06:13 PM

^Kaeun, I think..

I got information from stans that AFTERSCHOOL denied to have a korean comeback this year, they said their new comeback will be japanese

adantatu2 10th November 2013 10:26 PM

This isn't the best year for After School. Anyway, if they are planning release another japanese single, i hope is the Ms. Independent song.

Quote:

ORANGE CARAMEL to make a comeback February 2014

The girls of the Orange Caramel unit are planning to make a comeback!

For the eagerly awaiting fans, their reps commented, “It would be difficult to release an album this year. But we are currently preparing for their comeback planned for February of next year… We have already completed recording several tracks and are working to find an even better song… Orange Caramel will not lose their original color.”

As the girls are known for their cute and catchy concepts, it seems they plan to continue on that route to recapture fans’ hearts when they return next year!

Find even better song? It means the songs are not that good XD

I wonder if they are going to release it in Japan too, as they did with LIPSTICK

adantatu2 15th November 2013 01:43 AM

I'm glad is a Korean comeback, their japanese singles aren't really good

CoriKaru 15th November 2013 08:16 AM

I honestly can never remember what lipstick was and what language it was in.

visionfactory 16th November 2013 05:19 AM

Pledis is trying to expand overseas to China, they recently added a chinese member to After School's boyband counterpart and they are going to release music in chinese

Is After School going to release their whole discography all over again in another language? They've just performed Bang! in MTV China

AyusakiFan 16th November 2013 05:27 AM

I enjoyed Orange Caramel's Japanese album, however, I do prefer their Korean songs more so I'm really looking forward to this album. Plus, they'll most likely re-release their title track in Japanese like they did for Lipstick for their next Japanese single.

CoriKaru 16th November 2013 05:54 AM

Who is their Boyband counterpart?

adantatu2 16th November 2013 06:03 AM

I think (s)he (sorry i don't know if you are a girl or a boy) is talking about NU'EST. They add a new chinese member and they're going to promote as NU'EST M in China

freedreamer 16th November 2013 06:45 AM

I dunno what to feel if they add a chinese girl to the grp :/

That's what I thought too. I don't consider them a "counterpart". They look like babies and are completely different.

And they added a Chinese and are doing what Exo did? Kinda? Well that's ugly.
