How are those A.N.JELL boys doing nowadays?
FT Island just debuted their first single in Japan. The PV for 'Flower Rock' features Hong-ki singing in Japanese which can't be as bad as DBSK.

CN Blue released their 2nd mini album, Blue Love. The MV for 'LOVE' features a playful sounding song. not much to say about the other tracks..And how about ( Read more... )

L'Arc~en~Ciel's Quadrinity (psst, terrible title) album was just released. 4 CDs, each CD with 7 self-written song picks from each member, and the best part is that they are digitally remastered (which sounds very, very awesome...or that could be just ( Read more... )

I was a little disappointed when it was 4 o'clock and the snow was still not sticking, but hey, plenty of sticking now!

Love, love, love performed by CN Blue. Well, after a dozen performances of Alone/I'm a Loner, it's nice to see them perform another song (it's a tribute show to a singer who died).

I wonder if he wanted to keep his acting career separate from his music career, both of which are in their beginning stages. His group, C. ( Read more... )

The worst part of watching an asian drama is that they'll play one or two pop songs so often that they get stuck in your head all day. Darn you, A.N.JELL.

Decided to spend some time looking into the charismatic actors of You're Beautiful.
Lee Hong-ki seems to have a big following. He plays Jeremy the drummer. He's actually in the boy band, FT ( Read more... )

Just read these recently...
Koukou Debut: Typical high school shoujo tomboy and good-looking boy relationship, but very funny and it's complete.
Aitsu no Daihonmei: An ugly guy likes a sadistic good-looking guy in a soft boy-love manga. Also funny.
Flat: A high school student becomes friends with his young cousin in a slice-of-life manga. Plain ( Read more... )
