"KARA", this time "Karapara Dance" has a premonition of a boom!


The Korean girl group "KARA" heralded the second hip (buttocks) dance boom with Karapara Dance.
　"KARA" will show off a piece of work depicting a beach resort. Parapara dance's cute and comical hand movements match the rhythm of pop tunes, giving it an image that goes well with summer. The members combined the names of "KARA" and "Parapara" and named it "Karapara Dance".
Para Para is a dance in which hands and arms are waved and two steps of the feet are the point. It originated in Japanese discos in the late 80's and became very popular in the 90's following the Eurobeat trend. Recently, the popularity of parapara has cooled down, but the karapara dance once again sparks a parapara boom in Japan.

"KARA" performed a cute hip dance in their Japanese debut song "Mr." released in August last year, gaining popularity to the point that it became synonymous with "KARA" in Japan. In the single "Jumpin" that was released in succession, the jump dance of skiing movements, and in the third single "Jet Coaster Love", the penguin dance that flapped the palms became a hot topic.
The members said, "It's very easy to dance to a pleasant melody. I hope everyone will learn and dance." .

In the morning, I saw "KARA" doing this dance on Fuji's alarm TV. It was a dance that mixed the cuteness of “Roller Coaster Love” with the refreshing image of sparkling carbonated popping, and it made me think of “KARA” as expected.
Para Para was a dance that was received by the older generation from high teens, but I feel that the "KARA" dance based on this would be accepted by the younger generation.
However, this summer, girl groups such as "T-ara", "Secret", "AFTERSCHOOL", and "Rainbow" are making their way into Japan.
"T-ara" and "Secret" have an atmosphere in which the fan base is likely to compete with each other.

From summer to autumn, the battle for leadership among K-pop girl groups is likely to intensify.
Among them, the performances of "KARA" Jiyeon and "T-ara" Jiyeon are likely to be the highlights.
Jiyoung, a familiar giant baby, and Jiyoung, who has a calm and sorrowful face. I see that either Jiyeon will be boiling in popularity this fall.
I would be most happy if both were evenly matched and became popular.
