From youtube comments, K WIZ*One thought Vampire sounded like it was mixed by a senile trot song sound engineer, J WIZ*One thought it was alright. Thai WIZ*One focused on the fang scene at the end saying it was funny. A comment said the cat had more screen time than Chaeyeon and Hyewon.

 

nothing is wrong with izone, all of their songs end up sounds like that because of aki p, if you guys familiar with 48/46 G before izone was formed, he already being known to fans for losing her magical touch as a capable producers/songwriter, he seem can't produce songs like hebirote or flying get etc from akb48 golden era, we praised everything emi given to izone, they are surpassing otr in terms of managing and promotions, but, when in producing a songs and albums, otr is far ahead from them

yet again, the girls looks so gorgeous in black dress theme, but for the song, as a fans, i won't say i like or dislike it, and i prefer listening to 'love bubbles', imo, the only suitable and great songs from this single

 

I don't know why so many people are upset with this release, I really like it. It took me a while to get into Buenos Aires and some of the B-sides (especially Tomorrow), but I really like all of the songs so far. Shigaisen Nanka Buttobasen is probably the weakest song in my opinion, but Love Bubble is super cute (although I don't understand a thing 'cause it's Korean) and I like Vampire, especially now that I've seen the music video.

 

i hope they can perform the song w/ the fangs on
idec it's it's going to be lip sync
the overall visual is the best so far

 

I don't think its regarding the political issue though. TWICE is literally on the doorstep to make a Korean comeback and they have like 3 members.

But I think TWICE case is different because the japanese members belong to a Korean agency. In IZ*ONE there are members who also belong to a Japanese agency and there's the collaboration with AKS too.

 

Looks like Izone is aiming for 3 Kor/Jap releases a year. Kor comeback looks to be this October-ish seeing members getting new hairdos and they need to put one out before all the award ceremony etc... People can relate to politics all they want but the fact is izone simply didn't have time to do a month of hardcore Korean promotion amidst Japanese tour.

I think it's more that as well rather than the Korean/Japanese conflicts. Watching interviews of people on the streets of Korea, the general consensus seems to be that it is not the fault of regular Japanese citizens and the boycott mostly targets products coming from Japan (imports); which would not apply to a Korean IZ*ONE release. Also, quite a few people seem to think that it's not the best idea, since boycotting Japanese brands like Uniqlo probably hurts the Korean employees in the shop more than it does the shop/brand itself.

The last concert is the same day as the release date of Vampire, so it makes sense they'd be stuck in Japan.

I love Sakura and Yuri's hair colours

 

Sakura looks great with black hair

You might notice Chaeyeon mic accident from ~4:28 onward.

K WIZ*One at the airport commented Yena had magenta hair and Minjoo had short hair. Long hair on Music Station probably was extension as you could see the short layer.

The IZ*ONE/48Group Japanese members are also currently signed to a Korean agency under an exclusive contract. I highly doubt that IZ*ONE, Off The Record nor WIZ*ONE care about the current political climate with Japan and South Korea. AKS is less involved with IZ*ONE than Universal/EMI and Off The Record at this point.

 

Y...you mean Yena?
