Someone sub this please? Haha. Jinwoon looked so handsome in those boots ^-^ Aah the two maknaes unite in an interview. Kyaaa ^-^ Anyway I will wait till someone subs this. JYP is a real hyung and oppa to them.

Waaa, I haven’t seen Miyavi in a while. He’s still the best in my book! Sorry to hear about his grandma passing away T.T He’s using the same guitar as always. Maybe that’s his favorite? I like his guitar. It’s Shinji’s (my guitar) uncle. Haha. Yeah I see Miyavi as my uncle got a problem with that? Come out here and I’ll crush you! LOLJK. Of course i’m kidding. But anyone can dream right. i look up to him like he’s my uncle. That’s better than having this major crush on him though. Plus he’s married so I’m totally hands off (nods). Miyavi is the coolest, yes? HELL YEAH \m/

I totally missed these updates on jrock revolution. Even though I follow MYV on twitter all I know is that he’s on his second world tour O.o

What’s he trying to do? Film your pores? Kekeke. Dara unni’s little brother grew up into a fine man didn’t he?

OMGee LUNA SEA is back after 3 years! Or was it? According to the video it’s been 3 years. When they went on hiatus I wasn’t a fan of Japanese rock yet. But I do know this. Luna Sea is a very influential rock band who has inspired a lot of other Japanese rock bands of today. And Sugizo the guitarist is the person whom Uruha (The Gazette) looks up to. They are really great and I have no doubt about that. I’m thrilled to find out they are playing together as a band again. From the video I see that they had difficulties as a band which is maybe the cause of their hiatus. I hope they don’t disband after this tour and continue to make Luna Sea music \m/ I wish can watch their concert but hello? like I can! Haha. That’s just sad >.<

To those who can watch them in play live again. Damn. I envy you! News like these make me more depressed I’m not in Japan right now >.<

This man is a certified legend. I haven’t listened to his new album yet >.< What a shame. Speaking of concerts his second world tour dates are as follows:
3/19　LONDON , HMV FORUM
3/22　Nantes, FRANCE – La Carriere
3/23　Lyon, FRANCE – Transbordeur
3/25　Lille, FRANCE – Le Splendid
3/26　Starbourg, FRANCE – Laiterie
3/27　Paris, FRANCE – Trianon
These are all in March and all seems to be held in France except the first one. French fans are so lucky!

WTF Jin Akanishi looks really old now >.< NG! He shouldn’t have left KAT-TUN KT-TUN. I mean why did he anyway? Good luck with his Yellow Gold Tour. Fight-oh OH! ^-^

OMGee 2AM’s You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls is playing  ♥♥♥ I love this song! LOVE IT!

Exist Trace ^-^ (L-R) Omi (gt), Miko (gt), Jyou (vo), Naoto (ba) & Mally (dr)

I had to put a caption because I still forget their names sometimes. If you don’t know them they are an all girl band. Yes. All-girl band. You. Read. That. Right. (nods) Even only one of them (Miko) looks like a girl don’t be deceived. Haha. They will be performing at Sakura-Con in North America. That means Canada right? Oh well, I guess Visual Kei is going global this coming year. They already are global but not many really know them.

Nothing is really happening in my life. Aside from the fast-paced 2nd semester which worries me that I should get a move on with things so I can end this semester better than the first one.

don’t know if I can make it to this event. The first Kpop Convention was a huge success even if wasn’t that big of an event. I wish I’ll have more money this month so I can go and buy some merch again. The second Kpop Convention is really something this time. The proceeds will go to Gawad Kalinga which is a charitable organization. And so this time Kpop fans will actually get to help and enjoy at the same time. I also want to see the cover groups who won last time. There was a bit of controversy surrounding that past event when some of the participants complained to the organizers that the judges weren’t fair in judging the cover groups. Well I wasn’t there and I’m not an expert so how would I know right? That’s all over and done with anyways. Cover groups are rising to fame as much as the original nowadays. I won’t be surprised if they get featured somewhere in Arirang or KBS.

Yesterday I saw this program on KBS where they featured Japan and tackled how big the Hallyu Wave is in Japan these days. Well it all started with Tohoshinki right? I think the Japanese are still crazy over Toho even though they already disbanded. But I was surprised to read an article in Omona that Toho is releasing a new single soon. I was confused since I thought they already disbanded but I guess Avex wants to squeeze out everything from Toho before all this craziness dies out permanently. Sooner or later people will accept that Toho is no longer around and that JYJ is the new trio while the other members (I don’t know all of Toho’s members) will engage in solo activities. It’s a pity that after nine years of being together they end up this way. I think that SME is really partly to blame with this matter. I hope this gets settled soon so everyone can move on from this controversy which has lasted about a year and six months already..? When news broke out that Toho was going through some trouble I was only beginning to be a fan. That was the time they released their Japanese single Doushite Kimi Wo Suki Ni Natte Shimatandaro. I really love that song and thought that Toho was finally reaching their full potential as singers. I didn’t like their past songs. It’s a little too cute and something about the videos looked ridiculous. JYJ’s Ayyy Girl is horrendous by the way >.< It really sucks. I’m still wondering how they got Kanye to collaborate with them. The group doesn’t suck it’s just that the songs they release do not fit them. Watch the MV and see for yourself. That was the type of video they made before. This is a new generation of Kpop they should be advancing like other idol groups. That type of MV was the reason I hated boy groups in the past. Seriously.

I am excited to watch Taecyeon and Wooyoung’s drama on KBS. It’s a good thing it’ll air on KBS but I don’t know yet if it’ll be on KBS2 or KBS World. If it’s on KBS2 then that would really suck because I won’t be able to watch it >.< i’m excited for Wooyoung since this is a first for him. And I want to see how much Taec has improved since his last drama. His character in Cinderella’s Stepsister was really adorable ^-^ His Satoori (accent ) was really great in that drama.Besides this drama features other idol stars like Suzy and Eun Jung so I’m eager to watch it. There’s not much to watch on KBS nowadays since the stars in the dramas now are all unknown. But I still watch them though because they have nice realistic stories. The good thing about watching these dramas is that I learn more and more of Korean culture, Plus, my grandparents also watch KBS now. Isn’t that amazing? First I find out my mum likes these groups I know from Japan and now my grandparents like Korean stuff. Haha.

2ne1 I beg of you to stop using autotune. Jebal! is it just me or is the autotuning going way overboard? You know Psy is right. When artists use autotune excessively it hides their true singing skills. I believe 2ne1 cansing. But why are YG and Teddy oppa playing with too much autotune? I get it. It’s the trend these days but excessive usage destroys the music >.< Lip-syncing is bad enough and now they use autotune to cover up what they are lacking. I’m disappointed I don’t even know what to say.

Not feeling Sistar’s new song How Dare You. First, the title doesn’t match the catchy-happy tempo of the song. It makes me confused as to what the song really means. Second, the MV is nothing special. Maybe if they really went for the pole dancing as everyone has expected it would come out strong. But this is not their fault since broadcast stations made it clear that the pole dancing concept will not make it on television. But you know pole dancing can be used for exercise. I mean shouldn’t be perceived as something dirty. i’m sure they could have done a great job at it without the sleaziness.

What’s great about some artists is that they really take their time to sharpen their skills and produce something worthy of their large fanbase. I criticize these idol stars because I had high expectations for them but I got less. I hope they live up to the publicity and popularity that they are getting because there are tons of talented people out there who don’t get the same attention even if they deserve it.

I can’t hate Big Bang because they always come up with something great. ‘Nuf said ^-^

This is the coolest support stick I have ever seen O.o

Too bad Defconn’s King Wang Zzang Mv eaturing Hee Chul is declared inappropriate for TV. As expected the video and lyrics were too controversial for korean TV standards.

Am back with more WooDara Ssantoki fandomness ^-^ This was taken after the MAMAs 2010. See? I am definitely not delusional. Udong was so cute trying to avoid looking at Dara but he just couldn’t help it. Lol. I ship WooDara because I believe Udong is a genuine person. The fact that he doesn’t know what dating is (so do I) makes me interested in how this will turn out. Take note of that part when Taeyang kissed Dara on the cheeks. The rest of 2pm was curious to see who Taeyang will pick and then he picked Dara and kissed her. Udong was the only one who didn’t look interested and I bet when Taeyang did that, inside Udong was probably thinking FUUUU >.< Haha. Also notice that after that the rest of 2pm looked liked they felt bad for Udong. I wish they’d get to work together or something. I want to see how that turns out ^-^

He definitely looked her way a couple of times!

Look at that part where they were dancing and Udong was getting closer to Dara. Haha. Then his reaction when Goo Hye Sun said that Kim Hyun Joong suits Dara. Udong was pretending not to pay attention. Haha. Then he suddenly asked if Dara liked a male celebrity recently. I had a feeling Udong was wishing it was him. I mean why would he ask her that?

I brought my new Fool’s Mate magazine and old Shoxx magazine for Humanities and used it as an example for design ^-^ See? I knew these things will have use for me in the future. Aside from that I used The Gazette’s song Taion for my MC102 subject in connection to gender issues. I’m so happy I can use my fandom for something useful. ^-^

I miss visual kei terribly T.T

A/N: I also like the song for the second video but I don’t know the title.

Hello December!

At last it is December again and Christmas is nearing. In two weeks I am going to have my break again. Haha. It feels like I just started my second semester. I guess the pacing is really just fast when it comes to college.

This is a new blog. I am transferring my old LJ blogs several at a time so if anyone wants to read my old rants back in high school then just click on the month you wish to check on.  I warn you that it is all pointless ranting. Haha. Read at your own risk. >.<

F(x)’ Krystal fainted O.o on stage… that looked bad :l poor girl she’s younger than me. And this is what I’m talking about how certain agencies don’t take care of their talents. =.=

This is what you missed at the MAMAs ^-^

Hi ya. So I decided to scan my friends page for awhile and found this interesting video. It’s a collaboration between Defconn and Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul. It’s interesting in a sense that the MV shows something which is not likely seen in the Kpop music scene. You know amidst all those boy groups and girl groups there are these rap musicians as well. Kinda like Eminem. Haha.

WATCH

Seems dark eh? I wonder what the song means. By the way, that F sign doesn’t seem like it’ll pass Korean television…? Just guessing since they are conservative, still. Korea has a long way to go when it comes to those things. Plus broadcasting stations like KBS are government controlled, right?

Therefore I conclude that Hee Chul-nim is not just a PRETTY face. ^-^
Now I must check on how our paper’s doing. Ja!
