    Don't know what to think about Violetta yet... but Really like you is my favourite song of the mini album so far... Hiichan and Minju seem to have worked on a really good song...
    The other songs sound good too...

    Edit: after listening multiple times, I think that the beats and the drop in Violetta are better than in LVER

    I think the girls have definitely found their sound with this. I can see this fit in well with COLOR*IZ and to a certain degree also with Suki to Iwasetai (and Neko ni Naritai and Gokigen Sayonara do actually fit with the other songs), but it's still an improvement; with that being said, I've loved COLOR*IZ from the start and I've been listening to it a lot the past few days again. Airplane is probably the most different but it's still great and I'm suuuuuuuuper excited for this release :cute:

    I can't wait for all the different outfits they will be wearing on music shows. That's actually my favorite part.

    The main track sounds really good and is kinda LVeR-ish.
    And the costumes look even better this time.
    I like all the songs except for airplane I think. Which one was the one that Daewhi wrote?

    Seems like I'm the one who am not particulary fond with the previews :^^;:

    IDK why but Violeta sounds like one of Lovelyz's B-side :fear:

    IDG why everyone debate over girlcrush or cute concept while IZ*ONE is literally Lovelyz 2.0 :fear:

    I can see Lovelyz doing the first and maybe second track on the album, but Violeta, Highlight, Airplane and Above the Sky are too upbeat for them in my opinion (at least judging from these short clips). I can also see the visuals, like the Violeta version photos do remind me a lot of the aesthetics used in Lovelyz's Lost N Found video but we already had the flower and soft dresses aesthetic for COLOR*IZ and that came out before Lovelyz's Sanctuary EP (on which Lost N Found is).

    What I think is an upcoming trend is elegance now, which is what I think both Lovelyz and IZ*ONE are going for.

    However, you could argue for any groups doing the same concept to be copying one another. If you look at it, most cute concepts are the same (girl meets boy music videos, slow motion eye contact, bright colours, dance choreo during the chorus), most girl crush/sexy concepts are the same (red and black colours, dark or intense makeup, short outfits (most likely body suits or crop tops)), fantasy themed concepts are also often the same (wear a witch hat or some vampire fangs, some mystic fog somewhere in the video, some floating, purple or pink sky). I think elegance is just an emerging concept now and those two groups are probably the most known groups doing the elegant concept.

    But don't fear, even if Lovelyz don't have many international fans, they're doing great in Korea.

    First MV teaser for Violeta! :worthy:

    I'm glad to see Wonyoung actually looks like a child for once [hehe] She's very mature, also considering the fact that she's fluent in English and speaks Japanese fairly well, and then the fact that she has a job and makes money... she always seems older to me than she actually is. Her sitting in a bed of flowers and playing with the petals makes her look very young and innocent. I like it
