Official U-KISS (유키스) Thread

[Starry Skies]

Miss him too, almost a year had passed since he went to the military.  

Idols change hair colors so fast that I find it hard to keep track of 

I can't believe it has almost been a year without Soohyun. It feels like time is passing quickly but at the same time it's not passing quick enough.

 

Exactly. Then you have those pretty hair colors that fade so fast they practically turn into an entirely new color. (RIP Kiseop's dark blue hair which is now grandpa grey)

[Starry Skies]

The members made it to Japan for Glory promotions! Looks like Hoon and Kiseop swapped hair colors

Jun left a couple of days earlier than Kiseop, Eli, and Hoon. The funny thing is, some reporters at the airport must have mistaken him as one of the artists attending MAMA in Japan. Turns out he didn't attend MAMA but he did get some extra media coverage lol

U-Kiss should get invited to MAMA in Japan  , I'm sure their Japanese fans will attend. 

I've got to agree   The only reason why I had the smallest hope of the rumor being true is because it was in Japan. 

[Starry Skies]

It's been 7 years since Ukiss debuted in Japan!!! Tick Tack continues to be one of my favorite songs from them.

So Eli has signed onto 50/50 Global Muzik, which is a sub label under BMG Music which houses a lot of very famous artists.

He will also be featuring in Chris Brown's new single out January 18.

 

 

This is great! I wonder how long he's been signed under this new label?  I'm excited to see more of his future projects Eli had significantly less individual schedules this year compared to last year when he was doing well on Mr. House Husband so I'm glad to see him get more music related opportunities as well.

[Starry Skies]

I feel like it's been awhile now. His wife has repeatedly talked about how Eli's career is just beginning, and how he's been composing a lot of songs. 

That's awesome. I've been enjoying Hoon and Kiseop's compositions so far so I'd love to hear Eli's as well.

Several of their songs from the album also occupied #1- #5 (plus #7) on K-pop Life chart!

 

 

[Starry Skies]

Wow they just started promotions and this is already the third live performance that Ukiss Japan shared through instagram live. Unfortunately the audio was super low throughout most of it But it improved just in time for their flawless performance of Sunset

I'm a little late but...

Merry Christmas!

or should I say KISSmas

 

In addition to Glory, it's time to revisit these classic Christmas/winter themed U-kiss songs!

 

 

 

 

 

[Starry Skies]

Good one 

So much of U-kiss discography is underrated, their winter songs are very nice for the season. 

Exactly. After 10 years they've really collected so many great songs for every occasion.

 

Side note: Congrats on reaching 200 posts!!

[Starry Skies]

Thanks, most of it is from talking to you 

Guess which badge I get next  

I'm guessing it starts with a U I'm hoping to collect some more badges myself .

 

I need some help with the marketplace request form. I want to add the Glory album  to the Onehallyu marketplace but I don't know how to do  a image. The form say I need a 100x100 image of the album cover.

Were you thinking of using the album cover from your DP? Usually when I post images here I have to upload the image to imgur first otherwise the picture won't show up.

 

I resized this one to fit the format if you want to use it.

[Starry Skies]

Yes, thank you so much  . I just submitted the form using that image, have to wait for the next award update.

I have never use imgur before, that's why I use twitter to share my pics. 

Glad I could help   I haven't gotten any albums from the marketplace yet so I'm looking forward to the next update.

 

This site is pretty much the only reason why I made an imgur account lol. Luckily it's been pretty easy and helpful to use when I want to post edited/resized pictures here.

[Starry Skies]

Here are a few updates I missed over the past week

So Avex is starting to put some full version mv of U-KISS older songs but it's only available to Music Premium members 

Huh,I didn't even know that was a thing. I feel like I've seen the full versions of a few of their older songs thanks to some uploads that managed to avoid being taken down by Avex. I'm curious about the full version of Glory though since the short version was super short.

[Starry Skies]

Yeah, Avex started doing that for all their groups recently. Also if there was already a full version for free, they just add a better quality mv for  Premium.

For Glory, we need to see them finish decorating the Christmas tree    

Yes! That tree decorating scene was such a cliff hanger

I'm just curious how they decide how short or long to make the short versions.

So I usually order albums from yesasia because of free shipping but they still haven't add U-KISS newest album. I might have to get it from CDJapan, so annoying   

That sucks I usually get their albums on ITunes but unfortunately it doesn't include the bonus track so I think it'd really be worth it to get the actual CD.

 

Thanks for the great recap.

Yay, more stuff to look forward too for this year 

Can't believe UNB is ending this month, I was hoping for one more comeback.

My reaction to Soohyun discharge in Sept will be  

My reaction to Hoon and Kiseop enlistment   

Making the recap made me realize how busy they've been this year.It is pretty disappointing though to see the lack of Korean activities after everything they've done to promote more in their home country. Since it was their 10th anniversary I was hoping they'd at least release a digital single but the only new Korean song they released this year ironically happened to be a bonus track in their Japanese album.

 

I'm actually still not sure what's going on with UNB. Some people think there is still a chance for them to comeback in Korea after their concert in Japan but I'm not sure. It would be kind of strange to disband them without some kind of last album though.

 

The only thing keeping me from worrying too much about Hoon and Kiseop's impending enlistment is the fact that Soohyun is coming back this year.  I'm hoping NH will at least let Hoon and Kiseop release some songs before their enlistment like Soohyun did with 'You'. Whether in Japan or Korea, I really hope they give Soohyun activities too when he gets back.

[Starry Skies]

NH uploaded a V-Kiss video from the night of the MBC Drama Awards

1st episode of their new show!

They really tried to fit as many Ukiss songs possible in the 24 minutes of the video I love it.

[Starry Skies]

Soon we forget they are a K-POP group 

I do really love their Japanese activities but wish they make it more even.  

For UNB, I'm surprised they haven't release a Japanese single since they were in Japan for awhile. 

Hoping NH will do their job right. It be nice if Hoon and Kiseop be 2U again.

Right

Even Jun's solo debut, which they spent the last few months hyping in Korean articles, will be in Japan. I get why they focus on Japanese promotions more since it seems to be their main source of income, but I just hate to see the members constantly express how much they want to do activities in Korea too. It just seems like a waste to not give them a Korean comeback after all the attention Eli got from Mr. House Husband and Jun got from his dramas/UNB. Plus Kiseop, Hoon, and Eli are composing now so the main thing they need is support from the company. If money is an issue, doing a Makestar project is always an option.

 

That's right. It actually makes me wonder what they're gonna do for their concert this month since they haven't released anything new since their last concert. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise fans with a Japanese version of one of their current songs 

Same. Yes, honestly I'm so glad 2U happened. I loved Train and Milk Tea so I hope we get to hear more from them too. I wonder if we'll get any more sub units this year. I know they've joked about Eli and Jun forming a sub unit (2Me lol) but I think it would be cool if they did. Especially if they kept the rock/rap sound from their unit songs in Glory.
