T-ara – Breaking Heart
T-ara (pronounced Tiara, like the crown beauty pageant contestants wear) is a South Korean pop group formed by and signed to the Mnet label. Breaking Heart is the repackaged version of their debut album Absolute First. Does this album show they have enough to stand out among the pack of Korean girl groups?
BoA – Identity
After a brief and somewhat successful detour in North America BoA returns to the Japanese market with her seventh studio album Identity. This is the first of BoA's Japanese albums to not chart in the #1 spot on the Oricon charts. After listening to the entire thing it's not hard to understand why.

Shocking 5 is C-ute’s 5th album and the first as a 5 person unit. Many fans have been begging for more vocal equality now that the group has fewer members. With Airi & Maimi taking the leads for so long I didn’t think UFA would take that request seriously. Apparently I was wrong because now we have this album.
