vancew90 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Love 'old'/retro T-ara concept. Really looking forward to this! Actually looking forward to any future comebacks, new concepts etc! Although I'm not familiar with Korea's music history (I believe many of us don't know much about it either), but the fact that T-ara wants to bring the 'old' flavours of the music industry, seems like T-ara want to infuse traditional music elements into contemporary music, which is actually quite unique in the industry (I guess?). This might actually be as successful as Roly Poly!!! lillollipop12 and IreneSHINee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renar Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well this has gotten me curious. I do hope they can pull it of, with their latest promotions doing well I really hope they can keep this positive flow going. After the hell they went through last year they so deserve it.

MimaDZ Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Omg Im so excited! AND they still havent concluded their promotions for No. 9! How exciting! This definitely shows how hard working our girls are. T ara Fighting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearwater Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Wow I'm so excited!!! More of T-ara!!! Yay!!! T-ara = simply going stronger and stronger!!! I think it's nice that they take advantage of the success they are having now and follow it up with another promotion instead of letting it subside. Show them all what you've got! Slay it! Push and push! (But please take care of your health and bodies, please eat and rest well, get more sleep, and don't get injured!) Looking back and counting the blessings, they are so much active this year than I expected, with so many song releases (Bunny Style, Countryside Diaries, Like A Wind, Painkiller, Target/Treasure Box album, Bikini, Number 9, What Do I Do)... What year! Considering the scandal last year and all the hate still going on, it's just so overwhelming and inspiring to see them fight on. I'm so happy and proud of them for them! While there will be so much competition in December... I am still optimistic that they can still do well. Looking forward to hearing this song. I heard the original/cover in Youtube and it sounds promising enough to be converted to a modern/T-ara song. With the CCM-Shinsadong Tiger partnership, I do hope the music quality will be consistent or even surpass our expectations. Crossing my fingers that it will be a hit, and hopefully, top the charts. T-ara Fighting!!! IreneSHINee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scatter_88mil Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 It's a typical move on CCM's part of their promotional cycle - release something during autumn, and back it up with another in winter. Nothing surprising, though the most concerning issue is that the girls will not be having an easy time here. 2-3 hours of sleep on a daily basis is a sh!tty condition alone to work in. I hope they are not overworked; they seem to be quite busy as of late. Sadly, chances are very likely (if not absolutely) they are overworked. It's always been like this.

Qrieen Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm awaiting for my Qrieen to slay this song with her daebak vocals. I hope this song becomes huge so that those netizens and fake fans who switched sides purse their lips and once again buy T-ara songs out of their guilty pleasure addiction to them. T-ara is the band you wish you could hate, but can only love. I love them and I literally cannot control myself until December. I thought it was a long wait back in September when they told us they were coming back in October. Cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchang Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 This good news, I like retro. I'm waiting for preorder *_* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahri1969 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 oh CCM why am i not surprised? Your hunger for money while paying no attention to the girls health is really exasperating ! But in saying that, T-ara does do justice to remade songs. I liked how they remade Bingeul Bingeul after listening to the original, which was good as well but the remake was more lively and enjoyable. But still couldn't CCM have waited for next year to release that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aoikage Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 So this song won't be in the AGAIN album? Instead, CCM will suck up our pockets deeper by releasing this song in a repack album? Why didn't I smell this earlier... I can't believe myself for believing that CCM was doing genuine favor LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GVK Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Looking forward to this! Another retro song. But I'm just not too happy about the jacket image. It's basically the same as Pink Tape by f(x). They should have done something a little different to the tape or the way the picture was taken. Besides that, yay for new release!!!

CptFantasy Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Here is an example of the Sand Pebbles sound. They're pretty slick. T-ARA 's composers re-imagining this sound with the girls performing it makes me very excited! Here is what we can look forward to. Looking forward to this! Another retro song.But I'm just not too happy about the jacket image. It's basically the same as Pink Tape by f(x). They should have done something a little different to the tape or the way the picture was taken.Besides that, yay for new release!!! That might just be a teaser image but even if that were the album packaging, it's not a big deal to me because I don't spend much time looking at the album art comparative to listening to the tracks.
