And Raina looking as bad as ever. That black hair has got to go. Her pictures look like early AfterSchool pictures as if that's what she started out as before she grew up, matured, dyed her hair a light color and got sexy. Well in a world where Raina ever turns out to be sexy.

Ka-un? Is that how you say chick's name? Well she looks amazing with her hair here. Love it.

Nana is looking a little basic here too. That hair. Lighten that up.

and NO. Raina looks better with dark hair. Nana looks so not Korean it dont matter her hair and Lizzy looks skinny as ever and love her natural appearing blonde. They did the whole unison concept with Flash back I like this messy style. God knows why they never released FB in Japan buttt...

[visionfactory]

Raina looks ok

I love the covers!! well... just the CD only ver. which I plan to buy, the others are not that good

[freedreamer]

After School Raina & HELLOVENUS Yooara perform acoustic renditions of After School's tracks
Absolutely amazing!

First Love:


AH:


Because of You (with Daybreak):

[adantatu2]

Ara's voice is so sweet and beautiful <3

[visionfactory]

I laughed so hard with AH rendition... it was not the best choice for an acoustic song

[freedreamer]

Heaven's PV



wow so different from what I expected!!!
LOL at the ending! It's really like giving everything back to Lizzy for what she has missed.
and why dont I see this level of choreography and dance in their kpop works ><

[Kouyou]

Uh-- I freaking love this! I wasn't expecting this type of song or music video at all but I'm really in love with the '70s vibe of the song and the fact that the video isn't just cuts of them dancing. Also, wow this PV is long! It faded out to black at the end; was that the actual end or is there more? The video was already five minutes long. Ahhh I'm so happy the girls are back in Japan!

[Utena]

it's not a-side material to me. The choreo is nice though, PV is boring and doesn't really help the song.
I like it though, but I don't feel it's strong enough / addictive enough.

I think this song would have sounded a lot better with stronger vocals. The song itself sounds good, however, the way they sing it brings no life to it. I think whoever made this song thought that using soft vocals throughout the whole song would make it sound sexy, however, it comes across as boring sounding. Had they incorporated a range of both strong and soft vocals used in the right places, this song would sound a whole lot better in my opinion.

The PV is perfect. I absolutely love it. All the girls look gorgeous, especially Nana and Ka Eun. And the ending was amazing as well. Lizzy

I'm not a big fan of the song, but maybe it'll grow on me.

I agree.

[visionfactory]

I can't believe the PV lasts 5 min because I didn't notice this at all, I just press play button and can't stop watching till the end

The song is not that good, it's not what I expect from After School, sounds like a nice b-side song from Namie Amuro or LISA

I feel they are trying to do something different this time, they are breaking the mold from kpop MVs

PD: the end is the best thing of the PV XD

yes, that's exactly what I thought. That's a shame coz' the production is really good. It'll probably grow on me anyways

[adantatu2]

I'm glad they are trying something different. The song sounds a bit like the sexy version of "Get Lucky" IMO. I like it (not my favourite), but i'm not sure if this is going to be great for their japanese comeback.

And i don't think this is the real full version, but maybe i'm wrong.

[visionfactory]

Anybody here willing to buy the single? We could make a count

[freedreamer]

I think when played in the right context, this song would sound better?
(somehow I did imagine Namie singing the verses HAHA)

[CoriKaru]

It Sucks.

And the reused concept is LAME.
