Covers of 'Jumping', due next month, revealed
"Will continue the blast in Japan with the belly fashion"
'SNSD with their legs, Kara with bellies?'
Kara's continued persistence of their 'belly fashion' in the new single 'Jumping' to be released on Nov 10 in Japan is drawing attentions.
Kara recently revealed the covers of their 2nd single 'Jumping'. They are in 3 versions with 3 different fashion: in leather clothes, with long boots on, and in suits. But one thing is common in all of them: that all 5 members revealed their navels; they are wearing the crop tops in Jumping's MV too. Kara debuted with 'Break It' in 2007 and has released 7 albums up to 'Lupin' in Feb so far, but it's only in the summer of the last year while promoting 'Mister' when they wore clothes with their navels revealed.
Compared to this, they started their promotion of their debut single 'Mister' in Japan on Aug 11 in tanktops and loose sweat pants with their navels revealed, and has been persisting in this outfits.
Their agency DSP media said that the belly fashion "was just chosen to help Kara look cute as that's what appeals to the Japanese fans; it wasn't meant to mean something that they wear it again."
Although it isn't specifically intended, Kara's belly fashion is affecting even Japan's local girl groups too. 9nine, a Japanese female group, appeared in the cover of 'crossover', their new album due in Dec, in crop tops, loose pants, and snickers that look similar to Kara's outfit at the time of 'Mister'; people are speculating that they might have copied Kara. They debuted in 2005 and have been wearing school uniforms or clothes that look cute so far.
