| T-ara Diamond Edition Jewelry Box Set |
I’d been waiting in anticipation for my Limited Diamond Edition of T-ARA’s new Japanese album JEWELRY BOX to arrive, an edition I just HAD to get because it included not only a 100 page photo book, but a 90 minute DVD filled with PVs and a bonus MINI CONCERT!

| The Seven members of T-ara hit the stage! |
The Mini concert didn’t disappoint, and so for the first time I got to see T-ARA performing live onstage, what a THRILL it was to finally see them in action! Besides the joy of watching them dance through their hits, it was fascinating getting to know the girls’ onstage personas, as up until this point, Hyomin was the only one I really knew anything about! But now I know how much fun each and every member can be!

The girls ran through the eight-song set, and aside froma very strange interlude where Jiyeon came out to dance to “Maru Maru Mori Mori” (WTF?) it was as cool and rockin’ as you could want! I was even pleased to find they performed one of my very favorite songs “Naga Neumu Apa (I’m Really Hurt), which I TOTALLY wasn’t expecting! In fact, the only disappointment I had was that they didn’t do “Lovey Dovey, of course I was to realize that at the time ths concert was shot, that single hadn’t even been released yet! LOL Though they DID put the MV on the disc as a bonus, as well!

After lunch, I resumed my K-pop watching festivities, this time to check out the PVs on some of my other purchases including KARA and their sister group RAINBOW... Imagine my surprise, when opening up Rainbow’s Over The Rainbow album I found not only the PV for their single MACH, but an ENTIRE MINI-CONCERT AS WELL!!! WHOAA!!!!

Man, I had been watiign for weeks to see the T-ara Mini Concert, but this one was a complete and utter surprise!!! Stunned to find such an unexpected treasure, I immediately popped it in, and I have to say that for unabashed all-out girlish sexiness, you just can't beat Rainbow! From the get go these gals were onstage strutting their stuff, gesturing and posing like someone told them they were the sexiest group in the world (at that moment, they were) , belting out the tunes witht the confidence that they had the audience in the palms of their hands!

| Go, Woori, Go!!! |
Like I said, it was a mini-concert, and they kept the show short and sweet, performing 6 songs including one encore and then a short backstage documentary. Watching this concert, I’m stunned as to why Rainbow aren’t more popular than they are- they really deliver the goods! I’m not kidding around when I tell you, each and every one of these performances were fierce as HELL and those girls have NEVER LOOKED FINER!
Setlist:
1. Mach
2. Not Your Girl
3. Gossip Girl
4. To Me
5. “A”
6. Mach (Encore)
Ah, man, bonuses like THESE are the staff of life for an avid J-Pop/K-Pop enthusiast like myself, and I for one am going to be first in line when they get around to releasing a DVD Concert proper, I was SOOO satisfied!!!

After the Concert I popped in the Music DVD bonus for their Japanese single “Gonna Gonna Go”, and well, their beauty, sexiness, stellar dancing and adorable personalities continues to this day…!!! Funny how I started the day on a T-ARA high and finished it off riding on RAINBOW goodness! If these two Seven-Member groups are any indication, K-Pop is gonna be makin' its mark BIG in the coming years!
PS, if these concerts weren’t awesome enough as is, they ALSO have the added bonus of being REGION-FREE, so I was able to watch both of them on my Bluray player setup in my living room AS WELL AS on my computer whenever I want!!!
