Something about the Express Bus Terminal, and a Meme
Who would expect find an extansive shopping belt above the Express Bus Terminal Station?
I didn't expect to! But it turned out to be a treasure trove of good items and good prices. Of couse, I had to undergo this process:
1. Employ eagle eye vision to spot the good item. Or a discount rack for the matter.
2. Dart over to the store and grab it. In korea, most stores have only one of each item, so its vital that you hold on to whatever catches your fancy. Better to be stumbling through the shop aisle, in reality a tiny gap between rows of clothes, with tons of clothes draped over your arm(s) then to leave it there only to come back and realize that its taken!
3. Check the price tag to see if it was substantially cheaper than what I could get nearer my school. If it is, then proceed to number 4. If not, put it back, or wait for number 5.
4. Try it on.
5. If 4 works, then buy it. As for the part on moving from 3 to 5. Its always no harm trying to haggle in such stalls in Korea, if the item is not already discounted.
I bought so many things, it scares me now. This is about the most I've ever spent in a single day in Korea. But I trust all my purchases have been thoroughly worthwhile. Expect maybe for the October issue of Spring, which i bought mainly for the cute Jill Stuart tote.
Anyway, I've spoken enough without a picture. On to the meme!
Today's question: Most underrated J Rock Band.
To me, without a doubt:
Kra (katakanified as Keraケラ, not Kura クラas I originally thought).
Ok sometimes its hard to think of them as JRock though, cause to me at times they just scream blatant J-Weird.
But I do think they have the techinal expertise to deserve as much recognition as the frontrunning bands in PSC.
I really like this song from them. Mutaku to Mutaku to. It isn't the most techincaly of their songs, nor does it run with a mainstream melody, but there's a certain groove to it that I find so catchy.
And of all of the 4 of them, I feel that he (yuura):
Is the most underrated.
And its not because he kinda looks like Hide here, or that I actually want to learn how to play the bass (i'm serious), but really he's earned it with:
Check out the Bass solos at 3min +!
And,
So, speaking of which, is there anyway I can get a copy of:
Haha I think Alice Nine as a whole is thoroughly overrated. But I could still watch them just for Saga, or Tora. So, a SHOXX issue with Yuura, Rei and Saga? LOVES!
I knew I had a lot more to say about the most underrated band as compared to my succint comment on the most overrated, but I didn't expect this post to wind up this long! Its been a tiring day today, from the gym, to the laundry, to the Express Bus, then back with tons of bags of clothes to unpack and prepare.
Goodnight!
