Kara Collection (KARA コレクション KARA Korekushon?) (stylized as KARA Collection) is a special album by South Korean girl band Kara. It was first released in Japanese on September 5, 2012 in four different editions: two CD+DVD, a Regular edition and a digital Deluxe edition. A Korean edition of the album, under the name KARA Solo Collection, was released in November 30, 2012 digitally and December 4, 2012 physically, including the songs in the Korean language.
In January 15, 2012, it was announced that each members of the group were planning on releasing their own solo material. However, these songs were instead included on the setlist for the Karasia tour.
On August 17 it was eventually announced on the group's official Japanese website that a solo collections album would be released which contained the songs. The album will be released in three different editions: two CD+DVD, Type A will include the CD, a DVD with music videos of all solo songs, behind the scenes of the music videos and a 28-page photobook, Type B will include the CD and a DVD with all music videos only, and a Regular edition with only the CD itself. CD+DVD Type A comes in a keep case, while CD+DVD B and Regular edition comes in a jewel case. Both CD+DVD editions will include a lottery ticket that comes with different goods that the girls used in their music videos: from Gyuri a hair accessories, from Hara an ice cream cone toy, from Nicole a yellow VHS tape, from Seung-yeon a book (that appears in the opening of the music video) and from Jiyoung a polaroid camera. The buyer can only choose one of them by ticket.
The solo songs were released as ringtones on the music and mobile portal Recochoku, one song per day. Jiyoung's "Wanna Do" was the first to be released, in August 22, Nicole's "Lost" was released in August 23, Hara's "Secret Love" in August 24, Gyuri's "Daydream" in August 25 and finished with Seung-yeon's "Guilty", released in August 26. The album covers and teasers of all music videos were revealed on August 30.
