1. BTS - 'Run'

There is still plenty of running going on - don't worry. However, the Japanese version features a lot more dance shots and close-ups of each member which just creates better eye candy in my opinion.

2. Girl's Day - 'Darling'

Girl's Day offered a little more Summer fun in their original MV, but the cutesy close ups and charming sets they dance alongside make the Japanese version peppy and simply adorable!

3. EXO - 'Love Me Right'

"Love Me Right" is revamped with a cute dating simulation like game concept The boys are handsome and more suave without the football uniforms.

4. Girls' Generation - 'Genie'

This version may upset fans or wow them as it is quite different from the original! The male lead magically stumbles upon the girls who are now in a circus-like stage. The original concept offered a lot more glitz and glamour but this version is just as whimsical and enjoyable. Depends on your taste - but still a great song!

5. BTOB - 'Wow'

New wardrobe and more dancing. BTOB didn't get too creative or go the extra mile in this MV, but it still has a unique charm that makes it fun to watch just like the original.

6. AOA - 'Mini Skirt'

Different clothes, same feeling! The sexiness doesn't fade or change as AOA continue to strut their stuff in a sultry manner to the Japanese version of "Mini Skirt."

7. B.A.P - 'Feel So Good'

The Japanese version is a lot more fun, uplifting and attention grabbing as the boys of B.A.P can be seen frolicking on the tennis courts in their active wear! The MV has a real feel-good vibe as it is more refreshing being outdoors.

8. f(x) - 'Hot Summer'

Somehow Japan managed to make "Hot Summer" a little less daring and a little more charming. The bright pink colors are sill there but in a more cute, sunny day vibe rather than the edgy, fierce heat of the original MV.

9. B1A4 - 'Baby Goodnight'

The boys look a lot more dapper and well dressed as they act more casual and less-Westernized as they secretly go out for a night of debauchery without their girlfriend knowing.

10. A Pink - 'No No No'

A Pink manage to maintain the same girlish charm through their Japanese version of "No No No." The girls can be seen dressing up and cutely preparing for their day out with an overdose of aegyo. Eat your heart out, Japan.

11. INFINITE - 'Man In Love'

"Man In Love" doesn't steer away from their original concept. The artsy, gentlemen of INFINITE can be seen doing their best to win over the girl in their well-dressed suits. Their dance highlights are still attractive and dazzling as well.

12. After School - 'Bang'

After School continue to slay the stage as this MV purely highlights their sexy figures, intense choreography and their unique charms. If you ever wanted a close-up version of this catchy song, this MV is just for you!

13. SHINee - 'Lucifer'

Despite the minimal changes, the new outfits are a lot more stylish for the Japanese trends. The stage set is still very futuristic and dynamic and the MV wouldn't be complete without a lot of epic dance shots. Just like the original, this MV is winning.

14. Wonder Girls - 'Nobody'

Talk about extreme glamour! The Wonder Girls are living a high-class life in their revamp of "Nobody." The girls look classy as they travel through the skies and straight to the disco stage to perform their hit song. The Japanese version also features member Lim this time around.

15. 2NE1 - 'Lonely'

2NE1 continue to bring up our feels as they walk through the empty streets and plain white backdrops with random graffiti. The setting feels empty and matches the songs sentimental mood to a T.
