B.A.P 'One Shot' MV



The boys are back!!!.... oh wait they never went away. I’m starting to think their going to be more like an American band since they don’t do goodbye stages. They just simply come out with a new song and album. Since their debut last year,  they have released 8 songs as a group, all of which, I liked. I love that they try new things, their MVs usually have a story, and that they can be gangsta and cute depending on the song and video.

This video is all about being gangsta, as they play a gang that has one of their friends held for ransom. The story for this one is the best yet with thugs, robbery, yachts and girls, and a shoot out. Even the choreography for this was bad-ass. The floor work was animalistic and hot, and Zelo’s back walk was crazy. The whole MV had my eyes bugged out and glued to the screen.





But behind the great story-line of this MV was a great song. ‘One Shot’ as a song is about taking charge of you life and choosing to live in a good way since we only get to live this life once. Some lines from the song:
“Shout your voice to the world”
“Even if the world abandons you, protect yourself”
“Shake your head and say no to being a slave to laziness…all those who don’t try, wake up right now”
“Like Martin Luther King Jr. shine the light”

They type of song that makes you want to look at yourself and try harder every day to reach your goals.

The combination of ‘One Shot’  and ‘Rain Sound’ has finally pushed me into the official fan category. By that,  I mean that I not only like their songs, but I want to find out more about them, watch them sing and dance as well as other variety shows that they took part in. In short, I’m in love hehe.
Unfortuntely all the stages so far have been one member short. Himchan broke his ring and pinky finger on his right hand, and had to get surgery. I would love too see all six of them together for this song, but more importantly I hope Himchan gets better.

Here are screenshots from the video:

















Last thing, seriously. Bang's acting in this MV was pretty damn good. The range of expressions that he went through during the shoot out scene was good, I think I see a few dramas in his future :)






What did you think of the video greatness or just okay?

B.A.P 'Rain Sound' MV

2013 is still very new, but the boys of B.A.P are back with a new single. 'Rain Sound is a track from their up-coming mini-album.
The teaser wasn't much, just a small snippet of the song and a metal chain with green rain falling down on it. I had no idea what to expect, only that this might be a slower track than anything they have released previously. My guess was correct, but B.A.P has continually surprised me, and this time in no exception.
Everything from the song and vocals to the video and images. For starters this is the first single that was neither fast nor forceful. This was a smooth, slightly sexy mid-tempo tune. Sweet and clear vocals from Young Jae accompany the sound of rain drops at the beginning of the song, before the bass line and Yong Guk's husky rap starts... So well done. I love that everyone had a decent length part in this song. Himchan was finally singing, not randomly yelling, although he's pretty hot when that happens... but this time we get to really hear how deep his voice is as he subtely says 'I'm drawing you again today, will I be able to erase you?







I loved the rich reds and purples before the black and white at the end. I loved the fact that there was barely any dancing in this video, it makes me look forward to their live stage. Although I'm not sure if or when they'll have one since this was a pre-release not a comeback. Obviously, I want to see a live stage for this one, but right now, I'm so happy with this video, that I'm too busy re-watching it to look for live performances.
There were just some shots in the video that I couldn't resist taking shots of. I even tried my hand at my first ever edit...
