Wow! There's A Cell Phone You Can Eat!
Wow! I'd never heard this before! Writer Kenzie* and producers Bloodshy & Avant take a dramatic "Reach Out I'll Be There"-type melody, throw it into waltz time, and make it a funny, bumpy promenade. [EDIT: I meant to say they throw it into SWING time. My brain went herky-jerky there for a second. In any event, this most certainly isn't a waltz; it'

So, of course, mashups were made. This one has cleaner mixing (with f(x) and Rachel's arrangement mixed with SNSD's vocals), but I rather like this one for featuring some Rachel vocals,(it also includes Amber's "rap") especially because it plays the last choruses of the two songs over each other, and I'm a a sucker for that kind of thing.
The Anycall CF seems to be a long tradition.
Anyband with BoA, DBSK's Junsu, Epik High's Tablo and Jin Bora.
4Tomorrow composed of Brown Eyed Girl's GaIn, Kara's Seungyeon, Hyuna, and After School's UEE.
Hyori again, with Anyclub, featuring Teddy, and Anymotion.
Rain's Anydream
But yeah, Kpop groups doing endorsement MVs seems pretty common. We all had a laugh when we realized this is the American equivalent commercial to "Chocolate Love." I think conversation devolved after that from imagining if SNSD did a similar style CF until "SNSD pole-dancing in a subway train." Yeah ( ... )

Not really apropos of Rachel Stevens, or of much of anything except that, because of the way my mind free associates, I never fail to think of this when I hear "Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex": there was a Mya record I quite liked back in 2000, a mesh of barbed-wire synths, the radio DJ's identifying the track as "K City X," or so it seemed, anyway. I liked the title for (I assumed) Kansas City's casual nickname and for the intrigue of simply referring to a mystery paramour as "X": "the K City X." (I suppose I could have listened to the lyrics more carefully.)
Where I hear "Reach Out I'll Be There" in "Chocolate Love" is the vocal descent on "neol gamchugo isseo" and "nan ppajyeo beoryeotjyo," the melody reminding me of Levi Stubbs and crew singing "With a love that will shelter you" and "With a love that will ( ... )

The storyline for "Kiss" resonated with me in thinking about how there are different types of fans, and how two of the same fandom may not even be able to connect because being different types reflects on their respective personalities. Hence why although there was that initial connection at the concert, as concert energy tends to sweep differences away, they wouldn't necessarily carry that connection over to the rest of their lives, possibly even within fandom.
Of course, the epilogue thoroughly debunks this and makes it clear that the boy being arrogant was his own false front that he needed to outgrow, rather than his problem being that he assumed Dara to be a fashion kind of girl despite her attitudes being made clear at the club, but without dubious intent.
