[Interview] 13.08.10. JILLIE Magazine
Hara: It’ll be “HANABI” for me. This is also a mature
love song which describes the pain that the girl is experiencing. The
lyrics are sad and heartbreaking. You’ll be able to hear each member’s
voice clearly; everyone has beautiful voices.
Nicole:
“HANABI” for me too. I feel that this song also relates to people who
are single, including me. (laughs) Please listen to it as you spend your
summer alone. Translation: melllllly@tumblr / _breakit@twitter

Cole emphasizing she's SINGLE haha.
[Interview] 13.08.28. TV LIFE - Gyuri
Q: If the members were animals, what would they be?
A: Jiyoung will be a dog. She has a dog-like face which makes her attractive. Nicole will be a bird. Her nickname was originally “Tweety”. (laughs) And she gives off the image of moving very fast at work so she’s like a bird. Since Hara is cute and has good reflexes, she’ll be a rabbit. I guess Seungyeon will be a chick. She’s small and cute and gives you the feeling that you have to protect her.
The memory of this summer that I spent with the KARA members will be the time when I went to Jeju Island with Hara and Nicole. Hara and I went actually there to film our short drama. Nicole came along even though she didn’t have any filming to do. The 3 of us went for a meal together. The most delicious item was the specialty; the pork belly of a black pig. We grilled the pork with shiokara (made from various marine animals that consists of small pieces of meat in a brown viscous paste of the animal’s heavily salted, fermented viscera) on a hot plate, wrapped it in lettuce and ate it. It was so delicious that it became a good memory!

[Translations] 13.08.29. Oristar Interview
O: The album “FANTASTIC GIRLS”, with the song “Thank You Summer Love” inside will go on sale on the 28th. You have challenged various styles of music that you haven’t tried in the past. Not only just pop but rock, electro and R&B, you managed to sing them well. KARA’s charm is jam-packed into 1 CD.
Seungyeon: I don’t want to do something similar to others. Even amongst ourselves, rather than sing the song in a similar fashion, we want to incorporate different styles. In this album, there are a variety of songs because the 5 of us carry the feeling of wanting to challenge new things. Even if we are unable to write songs, we will give positive opinions if we think it’s good.
Nicole: This time, we expressed ourselves fully through music. I would like to try a little in producing the songs next time. (!!!)
O: It has been 3 years since you started your activities in Japan. In what ways do you think the members have changed in maturity?
Nicole: Jiyoung has recently come to understand the meaning of being sexy. For example, during the song “Lupin”, she would raise her chin and give an intense look. But now, even by tilting her head a little, she’ll give off an amazing aura.
Jiyoung: Really? I’m glad! The hard worker in Nicole unnie hasn’t changed a bit but she feels more feminine and delicate now.
O: I see. In this album, there is a song called “Rescue Me”. Tell us about a time when you were rescued by the members.
Nicole: I can’t dress myself properly. I can’t tie a ribbon properly, button my clothes wrongly or my bangs would be in a mess. At those times, Jiyoung will definitely correct me by saying, “Nicole unnie, that looks weird.”.
Jiyoung: During interviews, the unnies will help me in their own way when I’m unable to answer correctly.

[News] KARA Prepares Fans For Japan And Korea Album Releases
K-Pop girl group KARA is getting fans excited for their comebacks - a Japanese album Fantastic Girls on August 28 and a Korean album Full Bloom a week later on September 2.
On Sunday the ladies revealed the sexy teaser video for "Damaged Lady," the promo track for their upcoming Korean release.
Last week they pre-released "Runway" to give everyone a taste of what can be expected for the seven track and two instrumental Full Bloom album.
There has been a lot of talk about the new release since July when the plans were first made public. The group is set to take on several different concepts for the new songs and their September 2 showcase as seen by the variety of teaser photos revealed in the last couple weeks.
The first set showed the KARA members in androgynous suits then, about a week later, they were shown in feminine dresses. Finally, August 23, a photo album was uploaded to the group's official Facebook page titled 'Queens' and in the pictures the ladies donning royal attire and tiaras.
With a group of talented composers behind them who have a lot of experience working with KARA already, KARA and their agency are ready to take the charts by storm.
Additionally KARA's new Japanese album, their fourth, has already had success with the release of two singles earlier in the year.
"Bye Bye Happy Days" was officially released back in late March and the song debuted at number three on Japan's Oricon daily singles chart. It also made its first appearance on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 in second place.
The second single, "Thank You Summer Love," came out late last month and KARA achieved their highest first day sales for the song, selling 48,479 copies.
"Thank You Summer Love" debuted at number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and number two on the Oricon daily singles chart making it another big success for KARA in Japan.
In the meantime, attention is focused on the "Damaged Lady" teaser video that hints the song is going to be full of funky club beats and charismatic swag.

[News] KARA ranks #1 on Tower Records' pre-order chart with 'Full Bloom'
Ahead of its release on September 2, KARA's 4th Korean album 'Full Bloom' crossed overseas to Japan where it rose to #1 on Tower Records' pre-order chart. As if they don't have enough on their plate already with their upcoming domestic comeback, KARA will also release their 4th full-length Japanese album 'Fantastic Girls' on the 28th.
The girls will then go on their second 'KARASIA' arena tour starting off on October 8 at Yokohama, where they'll perform in front of 140,000 fans in 7 cities across Japan.

Awesome.
[Blab] No Schedule Cole... so far.
DSP has just updated KARA's calendar with 3 new schedules and Nicole isn't included in any recordings. The other members have recorded 2 shows already without Nicole.
Hello and Quiz on Korea are only the 2 shows Nicole has or will record for.
I'm not placing blame on anyone, just that we don't even know what's going to happen to KARA after this year. If we can see all of them more on Korean shows, it'll be the best.
Hopefully, we'll see Nicole besides performances.

[Info/Rumor] Damaged Lady's Possible Sound?
According to someone who has listened to 'damaged lady' song, it doesn't sounds like a dance track but it sounds like a band song.. it has powerful drum, synthesizer, electric guitar sounds.
숙녀가못대 음원 들어보신분에 의하면 댄스곡같지 않고 밴드음악 같답니다.. 드럼,신디사이저,일렉기타의 사운드가 강력하데요.....

[Translations] Kara – Runaway (둘 중에 하나) English Translations
Where are you? When’re you coming? Again today, it’s me who is waiting
No, it’s alright, I’m sorry for tactlessly pushing you
I wasn’t strong enough so I couldn’t let you go
I know it’s my foolish greed
But I’m erasing my tears and swallowing my words, I can’t watch myself anymore, I can’t watch
You’d better walk away, I’m all alone, what to do?
Of the two of us, I’m the only one who can’t live without you
But what more is there to do? Now I’ll let you go
There are so many girls like me in this world
Let go of my hand, look, your heart and my heart are so different
Now I finally realized, I’m sorry it’s so late
I wasn’t strong enough so I couldn’t let you go
I know it’s my foolish greed
Though it’s a fake love, I swallow it because it’s sweet but I can’t take it anymore, I can’t do this
You’d better walk away, I’m all alone, what to do?
Of the two of us, I’m the only one who can’t live without you
But what more is there to do? Now I’ll let you go
There are so many girls like me in this world
Oh oh oh oh oh (x3)
Just go, it’s not too late
Love will make you run away
I can’t let go or hold onto you
My lips dry up and tears keep flowing
Just one way but wrong way, it’s already ruined
What is love that it ties me up? Why?
Back then, when you looked at me, back then, just for one minute, one second, you shoulda stop that
I only knew you, I didn’t know the beginning or end
I’m so pathetic for horribly falling for you without fear
Don’t you say my name
Please don’t tell me that you loved me
What’s so great about love?
I don’t wanna do it anymore
You’d better walk away, I’m all alone, what to do?
Of the two of us, I’m the only one who can’t live without you
But what more is there to do? Now I’ll let you go
Forget a girl like me and live well
Oh oh oh oh oh (x3)
Just go, it’s not too late
Love will make you run away
