Kara♥ Mister MV: The Butt Dance That Causes Blushing
It was too late.
On that very same night of browsing, the earlier discovered Korean music had piqued sutiben’s interest. Seeking more songs like it, the finger already went click on the next related Youtube video.
And what did suti find? The “Mr.” song?!?! hehe, such a weird name but kk.
Unlike with “Rock U”, where mistook beginning slow tempo as the whole song’s, this time suti is ready for Kara’s tricks. Sutiben will not be surprised! (^^ )
♪ Mister Breakdown ♫
This is a cheerful song, right?
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeew, goes a strange background sound, starting off the song.
Yet, the Korean girl band appears in fixed positions, holding still like timid students.
Moments later, they start chanting, “♪ la la la la ♫” and swerve their whole body, beginning with their hips. Left. Right. Left. Right.
*mumbles* Ooh, looks like a happy cheery song like the previous one.
Each Kara member then moves their body differently and a bit suggestively but when you see them as a whole, they move as one. Looks very much like a snake dance actually. Hehe.
Who stuck the “cute” label on the Mr. song?
The forbidden dance that makes the song popular
The girls swiftly walk closer towards the public.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
*widens eyes*
Just as quickly, the Kara girls turn around and shake their *stares at floor* butt. ( o_0 ) The shake is accompanied by “♪ la la la la ♫”. It almost seems like they’re saying, “look at this”.
*covers eyes with both hands*
Suti didn’t peek at this part. ‘Twas all skipped forward. You believe sutiben, right?
The butt dance lasts for about 5 seconds but seems soooo much longer. If you keep watching Kara’s Mister performances, you’ll also notice they always have straps or something around their hips… probably for emphasis.
But there’s more to notice than shakes
Throughout the song, Kara keeps singing “Mister”. Not knowing what the whole lyrics mean, sutiben is confused how this all comes together. Maybe song is about telling guys that girls are strong too? *scratches head* They do keep showing their arms. suti no know.
But the lyrics are pretty simple to sing along. Mister. Mister. La la la la. Hehe. The dances are different, they have a few different styles to them.
Coordinated dances
Although short, each Kara member gets their time to shine. Watch as all the members freeze except the one with the temporary spotlight on. They take turns. Probably the best part is when the girls circle one (Gyuri?) while raising their hands.
Suti really likes how organized the steps are. Nice choreography.
The two points of emphasis
When the girls face you, the main focus is on the hands, with the hips a far second. Suti keeps following their hands as it’s a lil’ hypnotic. They direct your eyes up, down, left, right and even diagonal. The lovely part is when Kara shake their fingers at you, as though they’re saying “don’t do that”.
Otherwise, the emphasis is on the *looks at floor again* bbbbbbb… butt.
How does “Mister” stack up?
The dances in “Mister” seem similar to gypsy style: suggestive 1. Whenever suti plays the video in the head, the second image that comes to mind are curves. Maybe that’s why the girl group tend to show their belly or at least their tummy area.
Hehe belly button. What a funny name.
Anyway, the Mr. song isn’t cheery cute and cuddly like Rock U. No, *shakes head* ‘tis more sexy, 2 but cheery sexy. Overall, the song is upbeat and suti likes it but no sure if it’d be the same if first heard it on the radio. Suti imagines yes. Everything that Kara comes up with is gold ^_^
Either way, this is great for live performances. Just know if you miss out on the butt shake the first time around, you have a total of three chances to watch it… oh wait, never mind (⌒.−)＝★
