KARA’s classic and popular songs

Let me introduce songs by the South Korean girl group KARA.

Speaking of KARA, they’re idols who helped support the K-pop boom in Japan around 2010.

Their upbeat songs, sexy dances, and the members’ beauty are all very appealing, and they’ve gained tremendous popularity.

They’re known for being very good at Japanese, and it’s said that Seungyeon studied Japanese by watching the anime Gundam SEED.

They also seem to have gone through a lot of hardship at the time of their debut, as they didn’t sell well at first.

Now, please enjoy a playlist of KARA’s songs—by a star idol group that rose to fame through great effort.

KARA’s Classic and Popular Songs (41–50)

Valley of VoicesKARA

Many people associate artcore with a stylish image.

In fact, most artcore tracks do have that kind of tone, but KARA’s famous track “Valley of Voices” is known for its extremely intense sound.

The beat is particularly unusual, with sections built around irregular rhythms.

Compared to typical artcore, it’s a highly unconventional piece, so be sure to check it out.

KARA – Mister M/VKARA

Although KARA effectively disbanded in 2016, their hip-sway dance from “Mister,” whose Japanese version was released in 2010, was hugely popular.

Many people across generations probably know it.

The cute lyrics that start with “la la la la…” and the unforgettable dance you can’t get out of your head after seeing it once are truly charming.

Give it a try!
