Hiya minna-san! It's been a while since I updated just about anything in the cyber world...and yes, I'm still alive and kicking. LOL RL has been super crazy and busy...I know I owe messages to some [you know who you are ;) ] and will get them out soon, I promise. XD In the mean time, I restarted my amateur writing so go and enjoy the newest chapter to my Arashi fanfic - Fragmented Reflections at Episode 8.

Also, my Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan fanfic with Hijikata and Chizuru titled Beyond Dreams. Modern, alternative universe.

Did anyone see Jang Hyuk in the CCTV3 reality show - Ding Ge Long Dong Qiang (叮咯咙咚呛 / 딩거룽둥창) - with his buddy Kim Jong Kook along with Jay Park, Kangta, Jo Seho and a few others. Absolutely no advertisements, I just fumbled on it last week and soo glad I did. Wonderful show, they were absolutely amazing in learning and performing traditional Chinese opera. I am not sure how long they were at the schools, but it was a very short period of time and they were required to compete in front of a large audience in full makeup and costume. Opera is not everyone's cup of tea, but all of artists were fabulous, especially the Korean ones. I applaud their professionalism, it was difficult enough with the language and culture barriers, but to comprehend it in such little time, takes much sedulousness and dedication. Excellent program that entertains while bring new light to traditional arts, even my mother enjoyed the episodes and she is not into reality TV.

Full episodes on Youtube, In Mandarin Chinese, no English titles though. For stunning performance of the three groups, you can watch the last episode.

Themesong - I wished Jang-oppa had performed with them too, but Kim Jong Kook and the others were great:
