So, today I got my U-KISS album in the mail and I decided to record myself unwrapping it. It's pretty dull because there isn't a huge photo booklet for me to gush over or anything, but whatever, it's money well spent. Also, I didn't mention it, but the lyrics are all in Japanese which makes me upset that I can't read Japanese characters anymore OTL

I've generally always liked KARA's Japanese releases because the jpop sound fits KARA incredibly well. It's almost frustrating that it fits them so well because I hate how being in Japan makes getting a hold of their appearances and performances 10x more difficult. That said, Speed Up is amazing. I'd kind of forgotten just how amazing Gyuri looks ( Read more... )

When I first got into kpop, like really got into it, it was basically boy group season with SHINee, 2PM, U-KISS, BEAST, MBLAQ...basically all those groups that had just debuted or had debuted the year before. I was a really big 2PM fan...I thought they were funny on their variety shows and their music wasn't half bad. For me, they were like the ( Read more... )

I was randomly thinking about this the other day, and idol rookie groups have really surprised me in 2011. I can think of at least ten who have done well or who I want to keep existing into 2012. So, I figured to break up the monotony that is college, I'm going to write about all the 2011 rookie groups that I particularly liked ( Read more... )

I like a lot of music. It usually goes through stages and I've been through basically every music stage someone can go through at this age and I'm completely fine with that. Sometimes I just like listening to one artist or group for an entire day and with the ones that have a lot of music, it's completely okay. I'm doing that right now. I've got ( Read more... )

So I listened to Teen Top's new mini album and let me just say this: HOT HOT HOT! I bought Roman and loved it- First Kiss is my jam~ so I'm most likely going to buy this too if it's not outrageously priced. The songs aren't as good as Roman, but the boys look so freaking good that I'd buy it just for the album photo booklet. I'm so glad me and CAP ( Read more... )
