Light, airy and very funny: KARA Best Clips, Koda Kumi Live Tour, Brett Ratner - Tower Heist & more! - in Weekly Music and Movies Update!

Welcome to this week's Movie/Music news roundup, containing new Japanese and Hong Kong Video and Music releases from this week listed at Play-Asia.com.

Skipping between Japan and Korea, the best selling girl group KARA releases a Blu-ray Disc edition of their music video clips selection. Cute, fun and very pretty, but at the same time strong and mature, the group brings in some very intricate dance steps and moves that the audience has never seen before.

The Blu-Ray disc edition comes with all their early hits such as Honey. Since they are hugely successful in both Korea and Japan, there are MTV's in both languages. Watch both Japanese and Korean versions of Jumping to see which one you like best.

Koda Kumi went to 31 regions in Japan in 2011 for her spectacular Live Tour. Play the concert on your HD TV and feel the beat. The singer closes the distance between the performer and the audience in this event. The DVD set includes all the touching and comedic MC scenes and the three MTVs taken especially for this tour.

What do you do when someone cheats you of your retirement fund? Steal it back of course. Join Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy in Tower Heist. There is a large sum of money in a luxurious pent house and some incriminating evidence, but can a troop of clumsy amateur thieves get them? Cue stunts, laughs and justice.
