Random music notes
The VAMPS homepage has an attractive photo of the band...(vampire-mode, still?) But the new single's CD cover is absurdly ugly. The songs are pretty bad, too. Ahead/Replay
I'm fond of watching the kpop boy band, SHINee dance and sing. They are a really busy music group; 2 korean mini-albums and 1 japanese album this year already. Their music is fun and their choreography is energetic.
Also liking 2PM's newer stuff. Their choreography borders on cheesy at times or at least too theatrical. Btw, it's nice that some of the Kpop companies are putting subtitles on their youtube videos.
It'd be nice if Jpop companies would at least put full versions of their artist's videos online...or HD videos or both. They are slower at sharing their music. Looky, Mr. Children just opened their youtube page with full videos...<3 I still like this song.
