AFTERSCHOOL / New Single「Heaven」

[@LincolnSouzaful]

2019 and this continues one of the best Japanese songs ever made by a Korean act. just iconic

[@ashtonshota5243]

This and Shh by After School MASTERPIECES best Japanese songs ever made by a Korean act

[@dennousan5636]

Agreed. This, along with 2NE1's "Scream", SNSD's "Mr. Taxi" & "Paparazzi", Twice's "BDZ", Crayon Pop's "1,2,3,4", and Pure Boys' "Wedding Day".

[@kwanzdesigns]

Check out f(x)'s cowboy too. It's great af.

[@sakurachristineito6428]

boa made japanese masterpieces also

[@PedroHenrique-ii6mc]

ai meu deus eh a lincolna

[@JoeySikora]

I hate how underrated this and SHH is! They are both gems!

[@yehudabenhs_]

same thought! :((((

[@Entropy3ko]

Yeah, their 'Dress to Kill' album was amazing.

[@lanhod]

I'm so frustrated..ughh

[@JoEl-tw1rc]

And don’t forget Shine! ^_^

[@qa_raidah]

Yesssss

[@christinawilliams9305]

K-POPとか関係なく、曲としてすごく良い。 何年も前の曲なのに、全く色褪せて無い！ 全員の魅力も素晴らしくて、また復活して欲しい。

[@jinxieunlucky]

I'm glad they used pole dancing for more than one video. It would've sucked if they'd spent all the time practicing only to stop using it completely after First Love.

[@joeybryt4021]

I agree, but this is through the record label Avex, and "First Love" is through the record label Pledis. So, the video director probably took the skills as a plus, but did not part in training them. I would have too! lol

[@beth7343]

i was obsessed with this song and choreo in 2014 and i still am now, in 2022 truly ages like fine wine

[@Jaz348]

Can I find it in Spotify? With the name Heaven it’s unavailable 😭

[@euntro40]

@@Jaz348 nope it's not on spotify

[@leesem2427]

Period

Ive just noticed i still have eyoung pfp

[@55banananbananan]

これは本当に完成されたMVだと思う！ 今でもたまに見たくなっては戻ってくるけど、発表から10年も経つとは思えないほど色褪せない！

[@JordiVanderwaal]

I found a new and sealed copy of the 5 track CD single today, and I bought it. It's still one of the most iconic Jpop releases by a Kpop group.

[@jnd_jnd]

Talk about underrated bops this is top 1 best Japanese releases ever

[@kohapink]

i miss them so much......

[@65FreeSoul]

トラッックがめちゃcool!!　日本語も違和感ないくらい発音良くなってるし こういうのを聴かされると最近のJ-POPに不足してるものが解る。 かつての日本はICEとかの曲もちゃんと売れる市場があったんだけどなぁ。 日本ではほとんど売れてないみたいだけど、曲もダンスも歌も高いクオリティを ずっとキープして作品をリリースし続けてるAFTERSCHOOLというグループは K-POPの良心であり、本当に誇るべき存在だと思う。

[@5utch353]

たしか大沢伸一がプロデュースしたんだよね この路線も曲も最高だった。after schoolしか似合わない感じで。大好きだった。自然消滅の未来なんて想像してなかったな

[@migoreng15]

To all the new Playboyz and Playgirlz: 1:00 Jungah (Leader, Main Vocalist, Main Dancer) 1:12 U-ie (Vocalist, Face of the Group, Visual, Lead Dancer) 1:17 Jooyeon

[@イヨカン-m8m]

This song reminds me of the days AFTERSCHOOL resumed their activities in Japan in 2013. It came suddenly. One day I got an e-mail from the fan club that a fan meeting would be held. It had passed almost a year since they went back to Korea after they finished Japan concert tour(and graduation ceremony of Kahee). I felt extremely happy, and fortunately I got front seat(the 4th row from the stage). I could see members very closely. When they came in the stage and walk through the audience, I was filled with excitement, deep emotion and happiness.

[@stormi7069]

u lucky asf

[@抹茶カキ氷]

大沢さんとコラボして大成功だあああ Shhとかも何回も聞いちゃう アルバム全体が素晴らしい😭

[@ココ-n8v]

この曲はいまだにプレイリストに入れている！！

[@emanuelyestevam5032]

SAME

[@ark358]

この曲、定期的に聞きにきてる

[@tarkovsky97]

This is one of the best AS songs, and I definitely want Korean version of it!

[@めんたいまる]

この曲なかなか思い出せず1日かけて調べてやっと出てきて感激してる懐かしい

[@habatakidashita8050]

It would be great if they made a comeback with a Korean version of this song. It is catchy and maybe it would bring them back to the top. It's sad how they keep on promoting in Japan when they aren't that successful there and as they remain without promotions in Korea they are starting to lose popularity there too.

[@kindmonbebe3190]

Pledis has a fetish to Japan. I start to believe that Pledis is Japanese from the beginning. See those graduation system and MVs? Now, I'm confuse where you say they are not very succesfull in Japan. Well, Kara is the top in Japan, I think

[@notdny]

Wu Lan it's because the japan market is one of the biggest and best music markets, just behind the US. SM even tried to do a rotational system with super junior but it didn't work.

[@kindmonbebe3190]

yes, Japan is number two. and I still think Korea is better than Japan

[@kindmonbebe3190]

***** yes, Japan is number two. and I still think Korea is better than Japan

[@aiman7282]

+Dan Rei tbh i dont understand the graduation or rotational system?

[@RomanticYumii]

These mv’s seem fresh and new. The Japan mv’s seem like something new. Now I think they have unreleased mvs in Korea that was never released… I want a mv from them one day

[@mnu624]

この曲は今でも聴く、大好き😭💞

[@tchekiah]

who is here after their reunion? this was my favourite song by them hehe

[@sneakyninja05]

Still watching in 2017! MOST UNDERRATED KPOP GIRL GROUP EVER!

[@kethjasondee5592]

they are not underrated but their company ruins them

[@Shishuuu47]

the intro of this song needs a longer version.

[@DaftFanPunk]

YES!

[@ZoeliA]

shishizash4 agree, it's my fav part of video.. love AS

[@bravetherainbow]

shishizash4 oh lol, I read this before I got to the main part of the song and so I didn't realise the intro is different to the rest of the song. And I thought "really? the intro's really long already!" XD

[@lavinder11]

+shishizash4 Go listen to Daft Punk

[@Shishuuu47]

***** any song in particular?

[@shopaholicpals]

One of the best Japanese tracks by a K-pop group till date. Period.

[@sone4life784]

Truly one of the best kpop tracks ever. So smooooth!

[@まずいパンくず]

AFTERSCHOOLさんは本当にプロフェッショナルなグループだと思います✨ 全てのクオリティが高い！✨👏

[@semiprotita]

i'm not even a stan but their japanese releases are all gold not even my bias 2ne1 can beat that

[@g0gin0]

I kinda wish this and shh were Korean singles instead. Probably more people know those masterpieces

[@awekylen]

too bad there's no HD version for thisss!! but OMG Nanaaaa, why so gorjjjasss,, dat hair,, i love her hairrr

[@carlosmunoz8789]

just so euphoric

[@rowie92]

still one of my favorite kpop songs ever japanese or not, I've loved it since it came out and it has remained a timeless classic

[@esmeril555]

I like the style they have for their Shh MV as well, but i like this song more

[@zacbolick528]

Both are by one producer, Shinichi Osawa. He's basically a fucking pimp ass G that makes dope music

[@ryochansekaino4248]

”Heaven”は、アメリカのディスコバンド ”Chic” の代表曲のひとつ、1977年作品 ”Good Times” を始めとする一連の “Nile Rodgers”（ ”Chic” の中心メンバー）プロデュース作品を彷彿とさせる、懐かしの70年代ディスコサウンドである。 リズムセクション、特にサビ以下のベースラインやカッティング奏法を多用したリズムギターのパートは、まさに“Nile Rodgers（氏自身もこの奏法で有名なギタリスト）” プロデュース作品のそれである。 振付も70年代ディスコサウンドを連想させる、どこか懐かしいものとなっている。カヒが いたらきっともっとキレキレのダンスになっていたとも思うが、昨今のK-pop GGの中 では出色の出来で、さすがダンスパフォーマンスに定評のあるASと言えるものだ。 誤解のないように言っておくと、なにも大沢伸一氏（ちなみに氏はベーシストでもある）は “Nile Rodgers” 作品を模倣したわけではなく、今回のプロデュースに際し、70年代 ディスコサウンドを追求する過程で、無意識のうちにインスピレーションを得たのであろう。

[@fridanianoname4560]

this song never gets old. it will outlive every each and one of us

[@benjivitorio32]

HOPE AFTER SCHOOL RELEASE A KOREAN VERSION OF HEAVEN

[@psymike]

480px being the highest quality for this mv will always feel criminal to me

[@ChrisBrengel]

One of AFTERSCHOOL's best songs!

[@ぴぴ-b7h]

AFTERSCHOOLはbangくらいしか知らなかったけど、この曲は大好きでよくMV見てたなあ この頃はカウンのことも知らなかった… プリスティンもだけど、もっと早くしれたら良かった

[@cakredi4132]

*this is waaay ahead of its time.*

[@TeiouRenato]

this really should've been a korean comeback! its so flawless~

[@only900more2go]

The Japanese audience deserves the same high quality as the Korean fan base, there shouldn't be any bias.

[@mitcheljoseph]

Nana slays always

[@rrroo]

i hope shinichi osawa produced their next korean comeback and give them another iconic bop like this. dress to kill was great 👍

[@jmrn7803]

My favorite part is the end with Lizzy dancing on that chair :D

Apparently Heaven debuted at no. 7 on the Oricon Weekly Chart with sales of 18,596+ Considering all of After School's Japanese releases, Heaven is their second highest debut weekly sales :)

[@kimliptraumatizedbycocomon2314]

holy shit. that intro. and that choreo. how have I not found this earlier. I'm in love.

Best. Song. Ever. By a Kpop group in Japan. It's 2020 and still remains my favorite.

[@nannybells]

i wouldn't mind at all a korean comeback with this song. this whole album is perfection. i just need an AS comeback ;_____;

[@uwasanosinsou]

とってもカッコ良い曲ですね。おしゃれ。

[@hermitinc8162]

Best afterschool song ever.

[@NezulOkashi]

2024, I am coming here because I loved this song when it was first released. Unfortunetly it is not available in other plataforms. I really miss After School, they were wonderful.

[@shmwg14]

Me too I really love this song

[@mellochoco10]

i never knew about this song?!?! after nuventeen I feel blessed AFTER SCHOOL DESERVES BETTER

[@milams___]

The prettiest girl group in kpop srsly

[@iAMaPlaygirlz]

from an interview Q: Isn’t the “Dance inside of me…until the morning” line in Heaven song too erotic? Jungah: I’m too young and so innocent. So I don’t understand the meaning of it. [laugh]

[@fooglez]

Nana's voice is perfect for jpop.

[@Umai333]

I live for that smile of Kaeun's at 2:55

Its 2021 I am still obsessed with the song

[@yeovolution]

its 2022 and I‘m still obsessed

[@yeovolution]

2024 and I’m still here

[@yeovolution]

I’m still here

[@nna_-mg6kq]

I'm here after PLEDIS released that mysterious teaser

[@donniejuanvaldez]

Lizzy has the best aegyo in kpop bar none, finally really understood why. She isn't "doing" aegyo, it's just her personality. Nothing fake about it, and doesn't need to see some toddler voice. Plus the fact she said her current obsession is playing GTA5 in a recent japanese interview is great because it seems so counter to her personality.

[@xtrnext]

Stunning Korean girls pole dancing and you fall asleep?! What's wrong with you?!

[@saiking79]

本当に日本のファンも一緒に応援することを願っています。

[@Tardis452]

Even thou it's taking longer then expected I'm still playing this MV on repeat to get its 1 million views.

[@queenyoung1920]

Me too, I made a playlist of all their MV's and I am listening to them every day!

[@jazlynn1887]

it got it

[@林栄良]

MVとして、すごいできだと思う。 編集も面白い

[@LilNivu]

I love this music video and song, I like how they incorporated the pole dancing in the beginning and it had a smooth transition into the actual song. The song itself gives off a nice disco feeling and the dance was on point. The girls were all beautiful and their vocals were nicely shown. In general I think it's a good Japanese comeback! After School fighting

[@user-il1jo3cz9z]

女でも惚れちゃうよ…

[@klaire0903]

[@rvlesbikas]

Weirdly i really want the first part of the song to be longer lol but hey the song is amazing and catchy

[@jirhsf]

is this the only time we've seen all eight of them doing the pole dance?

I love the mv, i like how the camera keep on shooting rather than cutting into different slides.

This song is so dam awesome this song need to hit a billion. So all you fans like me keep voting for this song and AfterSchool keep the good work up.

[@proeyebry]

Ok, I can't stop watching this Video!! After school is so underrated. Have they ever had a full album? A best but Japanese versions! The girls can dance and sing and they have NANA! Please do a South Korean Comeback! Time to get rid of Pledis. TS or SM would make these girls a household name again. I love AFTERSCHOOL! This groove is awesome!

[@musicforyou18]

Marty McFly they had full albums. One named ''Virgin'' which is korean and japanese album called ''Dress To Kill'' :)

I want to be able to LIKE this video! So mad. I still don't get why Japanese music channels keep blocking this option so often. People like JPOP/Japanese Music, you're not going to get millions of dislikes. Come on guys! Nana is flawless here, as the rest of the girls too.

[@JustysLife]

I'm back here, it's 2021 and I still can't believe they did not re-record this in Korea.

[@jayavanzado0927]

I'm so proud for After School for being #1 in Tower Record Chart. They deserve it. Besides AS is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE Kpop Girl Group & E~Young & Kaeun are my AS Bias. Well anyway, I'm so excited for their comeback in November. I hope they make it #1 in Music Charts.
