Han Geng 'Clown Mask'

This has to be one of the best MV's like ever. 
I don't understand Mandarin Chinese but I understood what was going on in the MV without the aid of  English subtitles; that is something I treasure. However, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like an English translation. I was so grateful that the translation was there with the video so I didn't have to go scour the Internet trying to find a translation. The lyrics were poetic and symbolic; such deep meaning.

There was so much symbolism going on in this MV, when I was watching it trying to piece things together it was like being back in English class and I had to figure out what a certain piece of poetry was saying.
I really respect Han Geng. To see what he went through and where he is today is moving for me. He puts so much of his personal experience and feelings into his music that we don't see a whole lot of in k-pop, but I crave that. The only group that I can think of off the top of my head who managed to put their personal experiences in their music is BIGBANG especially with their latest album Still Alive.

I can't help but point out that this MV was released on the same day as Super Junior's "Sexy, Free, & Single." That really got the gears turning in my head.

Putting that little bit of info aside, this was an amazing song and an amazing music video. This makes me really look forward to what he has next in store for us.

BIGBANG 'Monster' and TEEN TOP 'To You'

TEEN TOP 'To You'
OK in this song I, and many other fans, were all trying to figure out what they were saying. I heard 
"Hey,do you, do you, do you now" 
"Hey, do you, do you, do you know?" but never "to you" 
either: 
1)my hearing is weird 
2)thier pronunciation is off 
i think it's a combo of both
As just a song, I love it, vocals seemed to sort of compliment one another, in a way . 
Chanjo's opening part is in my head.
Really liked Neil's ''it's like maeil maeil  every day-ah.'' And when he says "Babo ga dwaesseo ireohkena honja" esp the ''na honja." Which make the little voice inside of me say "we were just talking about how we don't like Neil getting these uber long vocal parts, so it looks like the group is Neil and Co. Now we have him share the spotlight with the others and all you have to say is you like Neil's chorus part? you freakin' fickle person!!!" 
Yeah that's me.
Loved L.Joes rap at 2:23 and his facial expressions. During this part, I was like "that's right L.Joe you beat up that cheating scumbag" (yes i still have hard feelings from the 'Perfume" MV)
Come to think of it I was also fond of CAP's rap. When he got rejected i was like "ooh, dude, that's gotta hurt'' and he delt with that pain by what looked like flicking her off. Yeah, like a boss CAP, like a boss.
That girl looked very manly, esp. when she went to grab the couple ring. Are you telling me that this girl managed to play ALL the members of TEEN TOP? Like actually date them all? It kind of threw me off when all the other members walked around all angry and depressed (great opportunity to show off their acting, nice) but L.Joe and Chunji looked like they were about o throw down. Very disappointed when i didn't get to see the cheater guy's guts spill out but if we did there would be a whole mob of upset fan-girls with pitchforks and torches waiting to murder the person who thought that up. Oh well, you can't please everyone, esp the minority (being just me in this case).
Ah, that hurt me when L.Joe put the couple ring on the table at 3:24. Oh, that hurt, cue the tears.
At 3:33 i got so excited like " o daebak they're all in the room and she's going to get confronted, Where's my popcorn? This is gonna get good'' Only to have my hopes crushed when she walks into an empty room. So close to getting on my list of epic MVs. 
At 3:44 L.Joe held up that necklace saying "To You" i was like "hold up, he was wearing that the whole time? Then i watched the video over and saw that Chanjo and CAP also had rings saying "To You" boy, did i feel stupid then.
Really digging Chunji's red flame haier and facial expression at 1:22.
Also how L.Joe rocks that checkered suit at 1:22.
The way they all rolled their jackets down and did the shoulder moves as well as Neil's body roll made the church-girl inside me go o_o only my eyes were much wider and my mouth was in the shape of an 'o'.
Really like the dance sequence at the car- parking- lot- place...at 1:47. Favorite location out of the whole MV.
Neil's note was in ENGLISH not KOREAN. MUST READ. But I can't  because he only shows part of the note and penmanship is very poor. 
But here's what i got so far:
True (but is probably, hopefully "Give") me on chance, it right?, and is...
And that's all i'm gonna get cause the dude crumbles it up before I can see anything else.
Overall I think this is the best MV TEEN TOP has come out with and I liked it a lot. There was a plot line which you could follow most of the time. They changed their image a whole bunch for this too so, thumbs up from me. That's the whole purpose of a comeback: to recreate your image. TEENTOP really accomplished that so i stand behind them in that respect 100% (unlike some concepts they went for in the past like transforming- spy-boys with waay too much makeup in 'Supa Luv', that concept made no sense to me, but this one does). We also got to see the other member more so now we know it's not "Neil and Co"
And there was a note that was in English major points for that, even if i could only read part of it and what i read didn't make too much sense.
In the dance version I rather enjoyed 2:02 when L.Joe punched Neil. On purpose. hehehe I know, I'm evil. I also noticed there a was a Ferris wheel and a carousel at 2:22. Could that be the same Ferris wheel from B1A4's 'Beautiful Target'? Do they just keep these things in huge storage rooms or something? 
I'm very curious now.*rubs chin while pondering*
Other Comments:
Oh wow, L.Joe is using an iPhone. *shock it's not Samsung*
The red suits during the dancing sequences reminded me of U-KISS 'Forbidden Love' (loved that MV soo much).

BIGBANG's  'Monster'
This is probably one of the most epic MVs in music history. That was what I thought when I first watched the MV. Then after watching the EatYourKimchi review over it, I decided to reexamine my thoughts. 
I agree with Simon that there really is no story within the MV but in the song itself there is. He's changed the whole world has turned against him and now she is too; that's the story in a nutshell. 
Maybe in the MV, it's supposed to be a supposed "monster" trying to find it's way out of a maze; the maze being representative of the judging eyes of society. Well, there's my attempt at playing English teacher.
This MV definitely had ''monster'' written all over it. I consider that a concept, and this MV did a really good job of showing that; through the wardrobe as well as hair/makeup. This MV gets high marks from me just for that in and of itself.
The song made me cry when T.O.P said "the thing that hurts the most is that you've become part of everyone.''I think this whole song tugs at the emotions a bit and BIGBANG's acting just adds to that. My favorite part, as far as vocals go, was Sungri's from 2:03-2:17, even though his English was a bit off. There's no history of YG songs that have misused English like some other companies, *cough SM cough* so I don't have a huge problem with it.
The song for me was a complete masterpiece and I felt like the MV showed one huge element in the story of the song. He's changed and people now view him as a monster; the MV shows him as a"monster." Which leads me to another thought. So my friend was telling me how this album really show us BIGBANG's feelings when they were going through their ''scandals.'' So this lead me to think that perhaps this was a song to all those people who stopped being fans of BIGBANG when thing started to look bad. Just like 'Still Alive' was a song to people who thought BIGBANG was going to disband but' that's just what I think soo.. yeah.
Other Little Comments:
While the other members take their frustrations out on the statue by either punching it like Senguri and Daesung or kicking like Taeyoung and GD, T.O.P just pushes the thing down and walks away. Like a boss T.O.P, like a boss.
What is this at 2:39? There has got to be symbolism in that, right?

F(x) 'Electric Shock', Dal Shabet 'Mr.Bang Bang', Boyfriend 'Love Style'

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, got caught up with other things and this blog just got neglected. heehee :)
But many new MVs have come out since my last post so now, as a result, i've got a bunch of reviews to write. 

Boyfriend 'Love Style'
Was really really looking forward to their comeback cuz i really really, really liked 'Boyfriend.' But I was severely disappointed with their comeback MV. 
I think i was a bit too harsh on the boys at first, so i forced myself to re-watch the MV and reconsider.
Wardrobe:
Floral jumpsuits and floral suit jackets. Were we going through a wallpapers when we were coordinating their outfits? Answer me coordi Noona and makane stylist! It looked horrible, childish, and really outdated. Speaking of which, most of the members had up-do's that looked they they were from the movie 'Grease' or something. The only article of clothing i liked was that long white jacket that either Youngmin or Kwangmin(the twins) was wearing during his solo shot at 1:11. I hated just about everything else they were wearing. To contradict, while most member are trying they're best to make that whole floral mess look good, one member has on a plaid(?) jacket with spikes on the shoulders. Yeah. *Face Palm*
Song/Lyrics:
The song had a really upbeat feel. I watched a subbed version and i tear up a little, i'm like you're willing to change that much for the person you love? That's soo sweet. No, that's more than sweet it's love.(ok that just sounded really cheesy). Oh, the things that k-pop can do to me.
Choreography:
The boys were still the cute lovable guys i loved so much form 'Boyfriend.' Their moves were simple, fun, and cute. But maybe it was too simple.
At 2:03 i was like what the.. why the back-up dancers just use the other member like you've been doing. Why pay these guy to appear for less than 10 seconds in your MV? That just irritated me. We have 4 other very goo-looking boys to do this dance. Why would you not not use them and have some like nerdy looking guys in their 30s dance with this boy? I don't understand the minds of these directors. *sigh*
What Irritated the ---------- Out of Me And I Don't Know What Category I Should Put It Under So I'll Just Write About It On Its Own 
During most of the solo shots the members were against a green screen. So usually you would have some cool background going on behind them that's somewhat but not really related to the MV right? And we expect the same thing here right? Wrong. 
So in the first few seconds of the MV they had "Boyfriend", "Love Style", and "First Mini Album" on the screen. I was completely ok with that, in the beginning. Then during their solo shots (ex 1:15, 1:18,1:25) stuff like
"DISTRIBUTEDBYLEONENTERTIANMENT,INC.
MANUFACUTUREDBYSEO(1:25 his head's blocking it so i can't read it)IA,INC.
2012.06ALLRIGHTSRESERVED
UNAUTHORIZED" written just like that all caps,no spaces, not kidding, well minus the () of course. That just tells me that the company wasn't really going to go all the way with this MV and didn't even try to hide that. That infuriates me, Boyfriend deserves better than this slacker effort by their company. They probably spent all their won sending SISTAR to Las Vegas. I think this is where budgeting comes in. But hey,  I'm just netizen who's a of fan of this group, what would I know compared to the company that owns them? Oh, there are times.......
Conclusion:
After my reconsidering these are my feelings:like the song, but seriously despise the MV.

Dal Shabet 'Mr.Bang Bang'
When i first saw this MV, i hated it. But like 'Love Style' i re-watched it and re-considered.
Song: 
Fun, catchy, and totally something Dal Shabet would do. The English makes complete sense and fits the situation perfectly. DAL SHABET THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR USING ENGLISH PROPERLY!!!! *applauds while a tear falls* (well u know there was that one grammar mistake when she says ''how longer is it gonna take?"instead of "how much longer is it gonna take?" but that's ok cuz the rest of the English was used so well). This song is totally something I'd want to dance and sing along to.
Dance: 
Cute-ish, considering there was a lot of...hip movement going on here.Love how at 1:01 they start dancing with their guns in hand. 
Wardrobe:
I see we're still stuck in the old west from B1A4's 'Baby Goodnight'. In a way the outfits seemed to combine the old west and modern dress.The hat at 1:50 the denim, and the boots put together with the... shorter modern styles(see the tops and bottoms they are wearing) made me think that.     
Other Comments:
At 0:44 they just get up from being scared by that one shot and start chasing people and pointing guns at everyone like psychos. I don't know but for some reason that made me laugh. Maybe i'm just twisted like that.
At 1:29 yes, use your gun as a mic because that's not dangerous at all. Oh, hun i hope your finger's not on the,.. oh it is on the trigger.I really hope your finger doesn't slip.
Conclusion:
It's a funny MV that fits the song pretty well in my opinion. All in all, this was a good comeback for Dal Shabet. FIGHTING!!!!

F(x) 'Electric Shock'
Okay so this MV was basically a dance with solo shots. And I loved every second of it.
Song:
Fun beat and very addictive; as is the rest of the album.
Choreography:
To me it looked like the  music cued when and how they should move. I love when groups move according to the music, let the music tell them what to do.
Sets:
I loved how the purple and pink set had those lights spinning around like crazy and the white set had lights pulsating like, well an electric shock 
Things the Members Did That I Loved:
Victoria at 1:20 she looked so pretty and had a voice to match her image
Sulli at 1:28 holding the paddles asking 'Doctor what are these?" hee again with the shock
Luna the whole time
Amber girl's got it goin' on 
Krystal when she lead the dance at the start of the MV

Of all the MVs I reviewed in this post, 'Electric Shock' is my favorite.

B1A4 'Baby Goodnight' VIXX 'Super Hero'

Okay, i gots a lot to say. Here we go!

Let's start with B1A4 'Baby Goodnight"
Plotline
Let's talk about what's going on in the song first. So in the beginning with the phone call, Jinyoung tells the girl on the phone "You go to sleep first to day and I will go to sleep after you." When really he's gonna dress up all fancy after hanging up the phone and go out, without anyone knowing (that's a translation of the beginning lyrics).Then they go on to say "For tonight i'm gonna play tomorrow i'll be back to you. If you find out,even if it gets award will you just let it go. While you sleep i'll be dancing in the moonlight. Today you aren't in my head." (i'm not thinking about you) "Sorry, you're not here."
So basically they're saying tonight i'm gonna be a play boy but  tomorrow  i'll be faithful (let's hope) to you. And don't get all up in my case if you find out that i cheated on you.
So, with this being said i LOVED in the end when the girl was with another guy. I was like, Ohh CNU boy, you got played. You thought you were so sly but look it, she's doing the same thing to you.HA!!!! 
This reminded me of TEEN TOP's 'Perfume', and i HATE that song/MV. But the reason i don't hate 'Baby Goodnight' with a burning passion like i do 'Perfume' is because
1) i didn't feel like CNU was forcing it(i say that for lack of a better term, forcing) like Chunji (ex when he freakin' winked at his gf when she saw him cheating with the noona)
2) the girl got payback
3) at 1:41 there's a little regret when Baro says " What's this uncomfortable feeling?" but then he says "Oh well. I don't know. Let's just go out." But at least we know that he felt a little bit guilty, even if it was only for a second. Also we see at 1:02-1:04 that CNU is still thinking about his gf.
Song
The mere sound and vocals of the song i like. It's a type of song i'd expect from B1A4. And i love just the sound, really catchy and fun. But then we also have to look at what the lyrics are saying too, so then here, i'm torn. 
The mild cheater song. 
Image/ Times i Fangirled
Ok, i don't understand how they even come up with a western theme for this MV. But B1A4 still make it work, somehow. B1A4 has done things like this before, whimsical images that don' t make too much sense( see 'O.K.' and 'Beautiful Target' for reference). I think we took a few steps backward from the 'Baby I'm Sorry" comeback. This frustrates me because why bother to even attempt a more mature image if you're just going to go back to the cutesy image. This makes me question if they really are experimenting with their image or they're just plain out of ideas and took a chance on the first thing they thought of.  
This is why i really appreciate consistency with k-pop groups.
I was basically fangirling though this whole MV. How do they wear cowboy duds and still manage to look so good?
It's either:
A) they really are hot by any standards
B) i,along with many other fans, am fangirling too much
I think it's a combination of both.
Sidenote: Before this i read comments on YouTube saying that Gongchan was very attractive, but i just didn't see that. But like T.O.P in 'Fantastic Baby', in 'Baby Goodnight' i saw the allure and charm that is Gongchan. Jinyoung is still my B1A4 bias though. At 30 seconds into the MV, that is Gongchan's signature move, that head tilt he does while saying "Ah", cue fangirling.
Dance
Very simple, again something i expect from B1A4. I think it matched the song ok too.
English
I am very proud of B1A4, for their English has improved dramatically. Unlike "city love light" in 'Baby I'm Sorry', the English in this song actually makes sense. (insert applause and slight tear streaming down the cheek here)
Conclusion
Overall i like the song and the MV. Even if the MV theme was really random (cowboys, of all things). But maybe it makes a little sense because they had saloons in the old west and that's like the old west version of a nightclub and in the MV.
I have mixed feelings about this song/ MV so i can't love it. The BANA inside of me tells me to like it no matter what, but the practical side of me is very put off by what this song is actually about. 
WHY, B1A4 why must you make a cheater's song so fun and catchy?!!!???!!!

Moving on to VIXX's 'Super Hero'
My Reaction
When i first saw this MV i didn't really care for it. My interest was sparked the 2nd time watching it and by the 4th time  i loved this mv and song and was fangirling like crazy.
Song
I liked the song, after a while it's very catchy and by the 4th listen i suddenly found their voices very dreamy. The song is basically it's saying "I'll do anything for you, I can give you anything."
I love how at the end they say "I feel fantastic" instead of "Achilachil fantastic" it seems like a very good way to end the song.
I loved at 1:41 what Leo did with his voice when he sang 'Fly." He did that during their debut stage and it did not sound good, but he is doing it while he's dancing and at live performances you can't rely on editing to fix your voice . But it was a good try and he didn't really dwell on it during the performance, or maybe he didn't consider it a mistake. 
I feel like Leo and Ken will be a kinda like a vocal couple. I like the way they interacted with each other when they sang together.
MV
During the MV i counted a total of 5 different sets and they wear different outfits at each set. That must have taken a long time to film. Of all the sets they had, the one at the very beginning is my fav, although the last set is a close second. And there was some ageyo in there esp. with Hyuk( guy with black hair that looks like it piled on his head) and N ( the guy who kinda looks like L.Joe), which, of course, i loved.
Members
I loved(i need to get a new word"love" is starting to get overused) how they acted during their solo screen shots.
People say that Ravi(that sounds like a very Indian name) looks like mychonny, i think sorta, but not really.
I think that every one of these guys have a talent that was shown at leat a little bit in the MV and during their debut stage.
VIXX's Name
Aigoo, that just, ugg. After a while i thought their name was a roman numeral and thinking what does that have to do with anything but I didn't realize that Ravi said when their name means in the beginning of 'Super Hero.' Their name stands for Visual, Voice, Value in Excelsis (excelsis meaning "in the highest")
So, if this were supposed to be a true acronym then it wold be something like VVVIE. I got really frustrated yet fascinated while trying to figure out their name. Fascinated because you are calling yourselves the highest? hmm, aren't we a bit arrogant.
Conclusion
I think it's safe to say i am a fan of this group. I went gaga for the song and vid but it had to grow on me.
VIXX FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apink Comeback, Hello Venus Debut, and Super Junior 'Opera'

Let's start with Apink.They made their comeback with 'Hush' which was posted online by CJ E&M Music on May 8th.  Let me first say I am a Pink Panda who really disliked the teaser for this video but was singing along to this song by the 2nd listen. I loved just about every bit of this comeback.
The song was catchy, fun,sweet, flirty, cute. Loved it.
The way they pronounce "hush" reminds me of the Hindi word ''kush" meaning '"happy"( I used to watch a lot of Bollywood films). When I first watched the video it bothered me how they said it, but now it's not that big of a deal to me. But it is the title of their song so I have to note this mistake.
There were 3 sets in this video all of which fit together. The colors were consistent thorough this video. We see the pink in every set and the lights are bright and give off a cheerful feel.There's almost a party-like feel to the video (or maybe it was just the disco balls). There was no major jump in sets like we see in B1A4's  'Baby I'm Sorry'.
The dance was cute and flirty. I really like the whole hand flip thing they did at 2:54.It fit the song very well.
The wardrobe was, again, cute. I really liked all the dresses they had on during their single member shots. All had a sort of mature look to them. The outfits they had on at 2:43 were playful and bright.
I am really happy they decided to stick with the cutesy image for their comeback. That's what made me a fan of Apink.
They said "shh" in the video which reminded me of when JR said it in 'Face'. Maybe if he said it like Apink did they wouldn't have had such confusion and chaos over their debut song. just saying. I am still a TRU'EST.


Hello Venus debuted with the song 'Venus'which was posted by the group's official YouTube channel on May 8th. I think a good number of us saw this coming. Pledis releasing a girl-group after NU'EST I just didn't think it would be so soon.
The song was catchy. The first time I listened to it I didn't really care for it but by the 3rd time i watched the video I was singing along and trying (but failing) to copy the dance moves. I think I make a fool of myself every time I try to copy a group's dance. Sigh.
 In my opinion the dance was girly yet sassy.the set where the dancing took place looked like it had really bright lighting, but later I discovered it was because of the white backdrop.
Ok, I'll admit it, at first I wasn't really paying attention to the video but when I saw the extras-only the extras-from NU'EST's debut video I sat right up and gave this video my undivided attention. I feel bad that the extras had to come up in order for me to concentrate on the video. Once I saw the actual NU'EST members, that was it, I was just fangirling over NU'EST. I wasn't even paying attention to the video anymore, even though I tried really hard to.
There was a lot of ageyo going on in this video. I liked to plot they had going on. Thought it was kinda cute. The way the set is laid out has been seen in multiple k-pop videos like, 5Dolls 'Like this or That' (or like the last 3 Girls' Day MVs) Still, I like it.
In the end I really liked this group. There was this sass about them that I saw while they still managed to be cute. Pledis did a good job with NU'EST so expecting that they do an even better job with Hello Venus. Having said that I'll probably be falling all over this group within the next 24 hours and scrambling to find out any and all info on them.


Super Junior Opera. OK, when I first heard this song I heard it in Korean. I really liked it and was anticipating the MV for it .When I found out it was released as a Japanese single I was the tiniest bit disappointed.That's OK because the song sounds just as cool in Japanese, but I hope they release a Korean version too. Let's not get our hopes up.
Out of all the MVs that are just  SuJu dancing (see Mr.Simple or A-cha) I like 'Opera' the best.
I thought the concept came thorough in this MV (or in this case PV). 
In a nutshell, operas consist of flamboyant costumes and singing in a foreign language (usually Latin or Italian) and of course a plot-line (love and loss is a common one). In this case we have no plot-line but the other elements are there. The costumes consisting of capes and the foreign language being Japanese.
I absolutely love the outfits during the first dance sequence(as well as the set) and during the single-member shots. I just about lost it when Leeteuk flipped his cape out, replayed that like 5 times.I also loved the masks they had.
I see that SM wanted to give SuJu superpowers too. At 0:17, now Siwon is able to light up 9 candles with one look. Ooh, he's good.
Now they can teleport too at 1:32-1:56. Have they, just like EXO, been banned from their home-planet?
I have one complaint though. I really didn't like the set for the 2nd dance sequence. i thought it was too much of a jump from the lavish set we had a few second ago. BTW if you really look at this set it looks like someone burned down the lavish one, it looks destroyed. I wonder if this is intentional. I'm thinking it probably is.
Eunhyuk isn't my bias but I went crazy for his part. Moving his fingers and controlling the other members. His outfit made him look mysterious and powerful.I'm not a fan of jewels or paint on any k-pop person's face but the tear-shaped thing(can't think of a better word) looked sooo good. 
Overall loved this dance and song.

Taetiseo And Sunny Hill 

So Girls' Generation finally, FINALLY, came out with a sub-group. Just saw "Twinkle Twinkle", and I... didn't really like it. Okay before people start calling me a hater let me say something. The first k-pop song I ever heard was SNSD 'Gee' back in 2009 which was the same year the song was released. I loved that song then and I still do. To this very day I am a SONE (favorite SNSD song: Mr.Taxi). But I just didn't like the 'Twinkle Twinkle' song very much other than the chorus. To be honest I sorta disliked the video. There was too much flash and bling for me. I got the feeling that the members were trying to convey the diva image. When I think diva I think of a powerful,charismatic, fierce woman and that's not the feeling I got from this video. The choreography was simple and somewhat cute, but it just didn't feel right to me. I'm not saying that this video is bad, there was just too much frou frou for me to focus on anything else.

BTW Am I the only one who is now really annoyed with the Genie add?
I was wondering why the perfume was being used so much in this video but then ANOTHER add appeared at the bottom of the screen which reveled all. Suddenly the whole video just felt like a really long CF from then on.
I wonder how much won SM is getting form these companies?
Honestly, the Genie add was really starting to annoy me but then they add another one? Seriously?


Over the weekend I saw the music video for Sunny Hill's 'The Grasshopper Song' and 'Princess and Prince Charming.' Both of which I loved, song and MV. I thought that the music video 'Grasshopper' was great for the song and may have actually even helped the song. I really like the move in the dance when Sunny Hill has their hands at the side of their head and it looked like gears turning on a clock. This song had a good message, the song was catchy, and the video helped enhance the meaning of the song, I loved it.
For 'Princess and Prince Charming' I like the choreography, there was a good message. I liked how it was.. how should I say this- literal. For instance when they said "Please don’t compare and analyze, we’re not cows." the MV showed  a cow and when they said "Out of 10 points, how many points did you give me?" the video showed the members measuring themselves.
Loved both songs very catchy and both had good messages.
Unlike Teen Top's 'Perfume' which was extremely catchy but was like the anthem of cheaters.

U-KISS DoraDora and B.A.P Power MVs

Let's start with U-Kiss DoraDora.
I was expecting something more from this video than just U-Kiss dancing, but this video shows U-Kiss in such a way that I don't even care that there's no plot line in this video.
When I watched the teaser, I loved the camera trick/optical illusion where the rooms are turning, that was my favorite element of the MV. U-Kiss's dancing hasn't changed, it's just as awesome as it was before they went to Japan.
The song is catchy, the dance was perfect for U-Kiss, and the members themselves still look hot
However, I do have one complaint about the video. I don't understand what the concept was behind the graffiti sofa and glow-in-the-dark paint or was there even a concept behind that? Was that there just to be cool or something?
Overall, I like this comeback video and album, right off the bat. The KissMe in me is very happy.

Comments on the some of  the members' MV looks:
Kevin looked like the Asian version of Sherlock Holmes.
I dislike Eli's blonde hair.
Really hate AJ's uber short orange hair.

On to B.A.P. Power.
Well I didn't think that it could be done, but in my opinion this tops 'Warrior'. This MV was daebak. The choreography was powerful. The looks on the members' faces were full of rage and passion. And no matter how the sets changed, they just seemed to fit the video, nothing felt out of place.
B.A.P. stuck with the theme of people rising up and rebelling. I really like that they stuck with this powerful image and concept- it's consistent,which I really appreciate.

One thing that also hasn't changed, Bang Yong Guk and Zelo seem to be the dominant members of B.A.P. and get the most screen time. The fact that Zelo is 15 and he can rap like that amazes me. He's able to show his talent to others and that makes me truly happy for him and gives me motivation to work that much harder to achieve my goals. Zelo FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!

This MV begs me to ask one question-what will their next video will be like?
This one think will be extremely hard hard to top, and sets even higher expectations for B.A.P.
