T-ara (artist of the year, 2012)

Jul 02, 2013 07:11

I remember in the second half of 2011, while 2NE1 were being my official, conscious favorite band in the world, T-ara were subliminally becoming my actual favorite band. This didn't really pour forth in my writing, though, until the year changed. 2012 started with Jiyeon, Soyeon, and crew dancing in a circle, and shuffling backwards in unison, ( Read more... )

My footnote about the Japan excursion was about the puzzling (to me) Bunny Style project, which I don't dislike but which is in my general J-pop category of "I don't really get it." But "Target," which I first heard right now, is definitely in the "I like it" category, though without the high pitch of emotion of their Korean stuff (though it's plenty high pitch) and so far not drawing the same love from me as "T-aratic Magic Music" from their 2012 sojourn into Japanese.

I'll also admit I'm grateful to YouTubers and others for the color codes - though I think I agree with the other color coders who think it's Qri rather than "all" at the start, those coders only doing the shorter video length, but providing Eng Subs. Pleased that Areum has found a style of rap that suits her, also that her remit now includes wit as well as wails. Also that Eunjung's given some lines of rap, though they're shorn from the PV ( ... )

And I just put Qri's "Do We Do We" and Boram's "Maybe Maybe," both from the Bunny Style project, into my half-year Top 50, so obviously I think some of it was good. And I may be seriously underrating "Do We Do We" at 27.

I don't know if that counts as prescient or ironic or what, but Areum is leaving T-ara to become a solo hip-hop artist and branch out into acting, or at least that's the official story.

Head smacks table. No comment.

I do note that not just the commenters but allkpop itself speak about T-ara being now down to the six original members (Dani's status being uncertain, though she was at the T-ara N4 fan meet in L.A.).

The five original members:

Jiyeon
Jiwon
Jiae
Eunjung
Hyomin

A couple links and embeds in the comments having now died, here are a couple of replacements. Can't find color coding for "Target," unfortunately:
