Block B - H.E.R. MV Review


Block B made a comeback with the mini-album H.E.R. with three videos: H.E.R., Jackpot and Very Good.
Now, I dont know these guys, but this comeback was very very funny. Not in a bad way. All the three videos were funny though the last two were a little...not scary but senisters. And the girl in Jackpot seemed really scared at first and pissed off at the end.
My fav video was Jackpot though maybe H.E.R. is the leading song(?). The raps were really good on the three videos and the dances were fun.
Overall, though I like Jackpot more, H.E.R. was very colorful, fun to hear and see and counted with the presence of a funny comedian/MC in it.
I don't have complains if that is the leading song of the mini-album. ^^

miwa - Kimi ni Deaeta Kara MV Review


miwa's Kimi ni Deaeta Kara is happy song, perfect to distract us from the sexy summer songs of k-pop.
In the beggining of the MV, the sea appears, before a couple or two of photos with a group of people posing in the beach.
The MV is about a beach party where miwa is playing for a bunch of people with her band behind her, beside the beach. It also shows the band building the stage the day before and how they rested in by the sea at the end of the day and ran across the beach, smiling.
It ends again with the photos.
As always, miwa's voice was clear and she seemed to be having fun, while singing and jumping on the stage with her friends.
With tons of baby-blue that goes well with the sea behind the stage the MV is just perfect even if there are fewer outfits changes and all that compared with k-pop.
miwa always delivers a stady voice so the song is good too.
Overall, 7/10 because, as I said miwa's voice is stady and there is now "eargasms" as they call them when a great singer hits that note that surprises you in a good way. I'm not saying that miwa can't eat good notes, but in this song she chose not to do it.

San E feat. Raina - Midsummer Night Sweetness MV Review


San E came back with the MV Midsummer Night Sweetness with Rania from girl group After School by his side.
As the name says, it's a sweet, sweet song. Addictive and a little funny. Not a lot. Just the fair amont of fun. It tells the story of a couple getting throug their day until they meet at night. The sweetness don't stop when they both go to bed at the same time, like they were in sync.
The only thing I would complain about would be his annoying hat that the image above shows. Would you go on a date with a hat like that?
Nevertheless, the song and the video made me smile and, if the video didn't made you smile, try to see them perform on music bank. They WILL make you smile and, even watch your favourite drama again.

Fiester - One More MV Review


Fiestar's One More MV it's a really sexual song. Not sexy. Sexual. Personally, I don't like the concept. Maybe they were aiming for another thing but it ended up bad.
The only outfits that I liked were the black and white ones with the red shoes.
The fighters don't make sense to me, unless the girls were trying to convey that they were strong enough to beat them up.
The rooms were a mess and the rest of the costumes were rediculous. I saw a few videos of Fiestar before and this one doesn't make justice to them.

Girl's Day - Darling MV Review


Girl's Day Darling is yet another summer comeback with a summer song.
It's a relax song with a relax dance. The girls appear in the video, having fun near a pool with bikini and washing a car. They dance with little skirts and lovely shirts.
There was no rap or, if it was, it wasn't very present. As all k-pop groups, every girl had a line. It was a very composed song with a lot of colors a lot of cuteness and little clothes.
Nothing really stands out but it's not a bad song.
I don't really know the girls, but I don't think any of them standed-out, as the song seemed to be meanted to be that way.

SISTAR - Touch My Body MV Review


SISTAR came back on the 21st with the mini-album "Touch&Move". For the leading music, they chose "Touch My Body". For the music video, they did a summerish concept, with a pool, a club and a plataform where they performed the main dance. There was big letters spelling "B.O.D.Y." where the four girls often walked and posed.
The music itself is quite adictived, even if you're not a SISTAR fan.
What seemed to displeased most of the people was the dance and the skin exposure. As the girls said in their recent showcase, their objective was to do a fun and witty dance, so the fans could have fun, while watching them perform.
The skin exposure comes with the concept of a hot summer. It's not big news that korean girls like to show-of their legs so I don't see the problem with their outfits.

Conclusion: The music is really good. Not like "Loving U" but a more "agressive", "in your face" song. It's really addictive, as I said before. The video is fun. From the begining to the last second. Dasom proved that she really improed vocal-wise and Bora did an excelent job with the fun, jumping rap. The swing part is beatiful, even with the little fake birds XD The girls looked amazing

Fan Special
Album Review:

WoW
Wow, the first track of the mini-album is a chill-out song that makes you want to sit in a chair, close to the sea, with the sun-glasses on until the sun goes down.

Touch My Body
Touch my body it's the second track of the cd and one that makes you want to go party with your friend in the beach or even dance in your room while hearing it. It's a up-tempo, fun song that really brings "Touch&Move" to a new level.

Naughty Hands
As the girls themselfs said, the song it's about fresh lovers trying to experiment new things. It's a "SISTAR typical song", to say the truth. Bora doesn't have any special lines, what boders me a little. She sings when Soyou sings, what mades a really good effect and made think that maybe SISTAR19 should be composed by Soyou and Bora.

But I Love You
I really like the beginning of the song. In fact, it's one of my fav song on the mini-album. Bora (my bias) has her little calm rap. It reminds me of J-Pop, somehow. Maybe is because of that that I like it. Has a lot of "tradional asian sound" to it.

OK GO!
OK GO! might be my last choice for the cd. It seems a 2NE1 song where everyone wants to be a rapper but Soyou and Bora (that only has one or two lines of her own). For me, this song should be the one that made Bora shine. Instead, is Dasom with their unnspected rap that shines.

Sunshine
Sunshine was writen by Hyorin, making the 2nd song that she creates. There are rumors that this song was to be chosen to be the music video song. I like it, but not that much to be the leading song. This is where Bora shines for some seconds because, in here, her rap rocks.
