3007106, Red Velvet - #Cookie Jar (EP, J-Pop, K-Pop)

Full release of their Japanese debut EP/mini-album. We previously early access to the lead single "#Cookie Jar" (https://youtu.be/rRgTMs_bGuI) and another track, "'Cause It's You." I understand why they went with "#Cookie Jar;" it's catchy but maintained a K-Pop sound for their Japanese debut. However, although it's a really good song, it didn't feel that new to me given its similarities to "Rookie."

"Aitai-tai," however, is an electro-pop song that sounds very Japanese in the vein of something that would be from Nakata (more Perfume than Kyary), but honestly it sounds better than anything Nakata has done these last few years.

There are also Japanese versions of their Red title tracks, "Dumb Dumb," "Russian Roulette," and "Red Flavor." The transition to Japanese sounds a little odd at parts, but I think that's also just attributable to me being so familiar with the original versions.
