Orange Caramel - "Catallena"

The women of Orange Caramel have returned!


It's been awhile, but they have finally returned, and they have returned with one of the weirdest concepts ever: sushi/fish. I don't know why, but I never really reviewed anything by them, but I really love them. They are hilarious and unique. Their album, "Lipstick", was really good, and I'm still on the fence about buying it. I recently bought "Catallena", but I don't know if I want all of their CD's - Japanese and Korean - or should I just buy the Korean album, "Lipstick", and call it a day? Difficult decision...mostly because I really love them. But for sure I'll buy their Korean Album. Anyways, Orange Caramel have gone and did something that I'm not sure many would have thought of. And while the song has an actual deep-meaning, I question if it was necessary at all. Like no one's going saying, "Wow, OC new song actually relates to me". I feel like people are more focused on their concept than the actual song, "Catallena". I like that Catallena is considered the "popular fish" - or maybe popular girl - and how the OC women are just average and are nothing special - hence why they are marketed for "3 for 1" sales and are just your basic sushi options. While Catallena is the octopus, a rather expensive and delicious option. I like that the concept focuses on what people think of Catallena - being more popular and such - to what she/he really is - arrogant and egotistical.
She/He represents that mind-set that people have when they see someone popular/famous and don't care for their attitudes because it is not important, while the OC women are like your average everyday person whom doesn't get noticed because Catallena is more noticeable. It's really relatable to the idol-world and how so many great groups get shunned because - for example - SNSD released a new song (which is awful by everyone's standards, but doesn't matter because they are Catallena). Very interesting, but like I said, not many are really paying attention to this part of their comeback, which is not really a problem because of how they are marketed anyways, which is something I love and hate about OC. Oh well, I really do love this group. I always found it weird how popular they are compared to AfterSchool - odd, but not too harmful. Anyways, as for the actual style of the song, it's very...uhm...how do u explain this? Pop-ish? With a lot of cuteness and high notes? Well I guess this is Euro-pop, but I'm not well diverse into it myself, so I can't call it 100%, but I believe so. The MV is very creative and really well-produced. I don't have a lot to say about it because it's pretty darn perfect. Pledis went all-out for this comeback, even though it's just a single-album. Orange Caramel really proves once more that they are very creative and even though their concepts are weird, they are really refreshing. A nice break from sexy/sensual song's. I personally can't wait to see how Crayon Pop will out-concept Orange Caramel because OC has had this pat down for awhile and no other group was able to out-crazy Orange Caramel. Also, shout-out to the mini-homosexual/Bi-sexual reference in the song. 4.7/5.

ENJOY! Side-note: Oddly, Raina is my fav AfterSchool member. Also, I love their outfits! I don't care how old-fashioned they are, I want all of them and I would wear them proudly.

   

Dance-practice: A.K.A funniest shit I've seen in awhile! Love Nana! Also, I love how this has almost the same views as the MV.
