For KAT-TUN's upcoming world tour stop in Seoul (August), KAT-TUN dropped by Korea to visit fans and do some promoting for their album and concert. KAT-TUN-minus-Akanishi performed on Mcountdown and I'm glad that out of the tracks on the latest album, they performed THE D-MOTION (with some vocal changes to accommodate the five members), because at ( Read more... )

Fukuhara Miho's latest album has the nicest covers! I can't pick which, so posting both here. <3 When I first saw the cover, I was completely reminded of Lim Jeong Hee who has an album of the same title and Miho kind of looks like her on this cover (plus Miho really sounds like Lim Jeong Hee when she's singing R&B style)! Kind of? XD The best ( Read more... )

Love yourself ~Kimi ga Kirai na Kimi ga Suki~ is the theme song for Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge drama, while THE D-MOTION is a Decotomo★DX CM tie-in. Though both are auto-tuned, THE D-MOTION sounds like someone left the autotune button relentlessly on max. It's a fun and catchy song, but I laughed so much the first time I heard their voices. But ( Read more... )

endohmiyako asked for this so here it is. :) The style of the whole album (only 9 tracks?!) is very much like BANGAGE (check the post if you don't know what the temporary unit "LANDS" is about) and very electro-rock and synth-rock. The movie opens on Saturday, so all the build-up is finally going somewhere. :D Actually funny thing when I first listened to ( Read more... )

LANDS is a fictional band that appears in the movie, Bandage, screening from January 16, in which Akanishi Jin is leading and ( Read more... )

Without meaning to, we accidentally ended up posting our 2009 rankings on the exact same days that we both did 365 days ago! Scary! XD Again, my time range is December 2008 to November 2009. All tracks are at 320kbps. The first five were hard to rank. The last 15 literally danced around like in musical chairs. But this is my final decision and I'm ( Read more... )

★ Just want to announce that my popsicle partner, oct23ria, is currently LIVING IN KOREA and totally adding to the awesome of Korea. I'm so proud of her and she's going to achieve great things there for sure. ♥ And as Korea goes, her Internet connection is also crazy as hell and we're all very jealous. So she's going to pick up the pace of uploading and if ( Read more... )

(I swear they just released ONE DROP like yesterday...) I FREAKING LOVE RESCUE. IT IS SERIOUSLY LIKE THE BEST THING KAT-TUN HAS RELEASED IN YONKS. <3 RESCUE is the hothothot theme song for the currently airing drama, RESCUE ~Tokubetsukodo Kyujotai~, starring Nakamaru Yuichi. Did I mention that RESCUE is awesome? <3
