Videography: Part I

B.A.P’s hard-hitting video debut was in suport of their single “Warrior.” The video highlights  the group’s unique concept (blonde hair, Alien Bunny, urban environs) and each member’s personalities. In “Power,” B.A.P. are artificial intelligence. The group continues to show off their synchronized choreography. In “Crash” we see a more relaxed side of B.A.P as the video shows behind-the-scenes footage of the group enjoying an overseas trip. In “Stop It,” the group acts out an interesting angle regarding being ignored by one’s love interest. In “One Shot,” B.A.P returns to their more obvious hip-hop roots, albeit via the use of smoother concepts (fitted clothing, stylized hair, etc.); however, familiar totems of the group are intact (e.g., Alien Bunny). “Coffee Shop” is a true departure from the hard-hitting concepts that B.A.P indulges in - the video is filmed on the East Coast (New York City,NY) and West Coast (Hollywood, CA) of the United States, and the jazzy feel of the song matches well with the casual American prep concept that B.A.P members employ.  Not ones to stay jazzy for long, B.A.P brings back the hip- hop (and related imagery) in “Hurricane,” which takes place in Las Vegas. In “Badman,” B.A.P. bring back images of dystopia and unrest.

In 2013, B.A.P also began their Japanese language music promotions, releasing Japanese versions of the videos for “Warrior” and “One Shot.”
