Korean Artist and their Japanese PV's: Part 2

As more and more Kpop stars try to become hallyu stars, kpop entertainment companies are eager to produce music for their Japanese fans.
This week we saw a couple of PV's released.

SHINee with "Replay"                                                                                                

On a different topic, I have to say I love the PV !!! This may be my inner fan-girl speaking but I just can't help it. SHINee is awesome. Seriously who wouldn't date a guy like that, they are so cute. I specially like Jonghyun cleaning the windows, and the way the boys returned so easily to their old images, although a lot more polished after 3 years of experience. I also noticed that this PV has a focus on Taemin, he will probably be the new face of SHINee in Japan, the same way the image of SNSD changed for Yoona (Korea) to Sooyoung (Japan). SHINee will probably do very well in Japan becouse they have a very different image form other male idol groups who have recently debuted in Japan (ex 2PM, B2ST, Super Junior).

    Expectations: U-Kiss

    VIPS expect the greatest out of their beloved Big Bang. Yet some who are not VIPS comment that they are overrated. Another group that has high expectation from the public is SNSD, even though they have little or no control what they will be singing next, the stakes are still high. 
    In fact, U-Kiss can be seen as improved with "Brand New Kiss" as they changed their focus of genre. In your opinion, has U-kiss reached your expectations, or are you upset at the course they've followed? They have certainly changed, but for good or bad is the question.
