☆135♪ [BRIAN JOO ft. SUPREME TEAM] My Girl MV
2009/12/10 at 8:58 PM | In fandom, news and current affairs | Leave a CommentTags: brian joo, [video] MV/PV
Nothing really special with the MV. The song is pretty good, except, what’s with the auto-tune? (;_・)Brian’s voice is lovely as is; no auto-tuning required.
I mentioned in an old post that although I never got into Fly to the Sky, Brian was one of my first Korean crushes. (^ ^;) I like FttS but it’s just so hard to backlog that much history lol. Anyway, Brian is awesome and funny and you have no idea how absolutely ECSTATIC I was when I saw the picture of him with Shindong, Jo Kwon, and that dude from SS501. Kwon and Brian? On the same picture? I should not have to explain the awesomeness of that. (*≧▽≦) And I posted this too before but if you haven’t seen Bracademy vs. Boom Academy yet, go watch it NOW.

☆133♪ [TOP COMBINE] 齐天大盛 MV Teaser
2009/12/08 at 11:51 PM | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentTags: 至上励合, [video] MV/PV
Last post for tonight, I promise!
WOOHOO! FINALLY something from Top Combine after 99402831 years of waiting. They’re returning with a new album this coming December 13~ YouTube won’t load the video for me so I had to look for it in Chinese video sharing websites. It took me too long to figure out how to embed from youku.com so I can post it on my Tumblr.
SO! It’s not very clear in the teaser but from the pictures I’ve seen, Kenny-bb had his hair dyed black and he looks absolutely gorgeous. I thought I liked him better with a tamer shade of red but I love him with black! (*Q* ) Xiao Wu is so behind the maknae-bowl-cut trend lol. (*≧▽≦) They have almost the same hairstyles with varying shades of brown, which suit them well enough. Had a hard time recognizing Zhang Yuan who looks younger but still behind everyone in group pictures.(;_・)Their outfits are like U-Kiss’ black and white 만만하니 costumes.
Still with the weird English and the strange monkey laugh sound during the intro but, yes, I’m liking what I’m hearing~ Looking forward to their comeback.(*^^*)♥
☆132♪ [U-KISS] 만만하니 Live @ 091120 MUSIC BANK
2009/12/08 at 11:28 PM | In fandom | Leave a CommentTags: u-kiss, [video] performance
The most recent performance I could find that didn’t return any errors (YT hates me) is their 091206 performance at Inkigayo but it doesn’t do them justice.( ̄へ ̄)You can only hear Soohyun’s voice clearly and the auto-tuned layer is still there. I don’t dig that set of costumes either.
Considering the heavy auto-tuning of the song, they pull off the live well. Alexander keeps catching up with his breath but the whole performance is generally good. (^_^)b I like how you can hear their real voices, even if it’s just Soohyun, Kibum, and Kevin mostly. You’ve got to give these guys credit. It takes a lot to jump and dance on stage while singing. (*≧▽≦)
Also, Kiseop never gets enough screen time (or any at all). Poor boy.
As much as I’ll always prefer his dark hair, I like Kevin as a blond. There’s this picture that made him look like a Final Fantasy character and I love it. (*.*) Blond suits him well. Eli too. I didn’t like him the first time I saw him (although that doesn’t count because he barely had screen time there) but he looks pretty good with blond hair. I hated Dongho’s braids before so I’m glad they got rid of that but I really liked him with the bowl cut. Of course, it wouldn’t fit their current concept haha~(^ ^;)
☆131♪ [BRAVE BROTHERS ft. U-KISS] Finally MV
2009/12/08 at 10:44 PM | In fandom, news and current affairs, verbal diarrhea | 2 CommentsTags: brave brothers, u-kiss, [video] MV/PV
Apparently this features only Kevin Woo and Alexander Lee. Although the song sounds happy, it’s a very very depressing MV. They say it’s gruesome but it’s nothing like Kill Bill, Ninja Assassin, and Hot Fuzz so if you can stand any of those movies, you’ll be fine.
You may be wondering why I’ve never written about U-Kiss before. Well, you see, they debuted the same year as SHINee and their debut MV, 어리지않아, is not exactly something I can take seriously if I compare it to 누난 너무 예뻐 (Replay).(-┏)I’ve heard a bit about Kevin and Kibum before but I wasn’t a fan of Xing so I didn’t pay attention to them. Also, the fact that most of U-Kiss’ then six members were younger than me turned me off. It’s enough that I’m noona to three out of five in SHINee. ( ̄へ ̄)
The next I heard of U-Kiss is their Bring it back 2 Old School comeback early this year but I didn’t pay attention to them still. When I found out that Kevin started hosting with Isak on Pops in Seoul, I took more interest but only because Kevin was so pretty and gentle I wanted a sister like him lol. p(*^w^*)q I only like Isak as a performer but not as a VJ Her English is kind of annoying. and having Kevin around made the show only a tiny bit more interesting since Kevin was more feminine that Isak. (*≧▽≦) It’s only when Xander came to join them that the show became livelier.
My interest in U-Kiss extended only to Kevin and Xander. I’ve seen a bit of them around (I think in Star Golden Bell with SHINee?) but I didn’t really make an effort to know more about them until their most recent comeback with 만만하니. They’re now a seven-member group, with Lee Kiseop who is still younger than me. Dammit.(-┏)
Anyway, what really got me was the drastic change from children to grown-ups. Bring it back 2 Old School was only nine months ago and yet the transformation was astounding. I started searching for more videos about them on YouTube but I think they don’t go on shows very much–that, or YT deleted a lot of their videos. I found their cover of As Long As You Love Me and since Backstreet Boys was part of my childhood, I fell harder. These boys are wonderful and talented but like many of the idol groups in Korea today, their talents are handled poorly.
The Auto-tune abuse in 만만하니 was kind of annoying but the song itself is addicting. If 2PM can abuse Auto-tune, so can U-Kiss. Haha~ ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ
Although I’m still not following them very closely, I’m much more interested in U-Kiss now. Mostly just Xander and Kevin but, yeah, whatever. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t have checked out Finally if it wasn’t for the two and I’m glad I did because it’s a really wonderful song. Give it a listen. ^^
☆130♪ [SUPER JUNIOR + SNSD] Seoul Song MV
2009/12/08 at 10:09 PM | In fandom, news and current affairs | Leave a CommentTags: 슈퍼주니어, snsd, [video] CM/CF, [video] MV/PV
Leeteuk, Shindong, Sungmin, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and blink-or-miss Eunhyuk and Yesung of Super Junior with Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Sooyoung and Seohyun of SNSD. Out of the five girls, only one of them I don’t know by name. So much for not being a fan of the girl group haha. This is a really sweet and adorable MV, though. I like Shindong’s and Kyuhyun’s parts best. (*^^*) The kids were so cute!

2PM for Samsung Corby
When I saw the pictures for this, I was horrified but it’s actually better than I thought it would be except, Taec, I’m not really digging your look. ( ̄Д ̄lll) Khun was pretty except for the weird lace thing and Wooyoung really pulled off the yellow. I think I like Junho and Junsu’s best. The dance moves are really cool, especially Chansung and his minions lol~ Not so sure about liking the song but it’s not really bad. You can never forget. (*≧▽≦)
☆128♪ Film Appreciation class is badass.

Signs that you learned something from Sir Bong’s Film Appreciation class: 1.) you notice a lot of loopholes and cinematic flaws, 2.) you stay for the credits, and 3.) you actually enjoy reading the credits. (≧∇≦)
Watched Ninja Assassin with friends today. It’s actually my second time because I already saw it with my mom and my brother. Last time I was too far away from the screen to see Joon’s name in the movie credits. This time I was stupid.(-┏)
Originally, I wanted to watch the movie because of Rain. I’m not a big fan but I love the “rivalry” between him and Stephen Colbert. I also like seeing non-Japanese-computer-geek Asians on my big screen. When I found out that MBLAQ’s Joon there too, I was even more excited. I wasn’t a big fan of Joon either (I’m not fond of guys with little to no clothing) but after watching him in Ninja Assassin and digging through Tumblr, I realized I like him more than Mir now haha~ (^ ^;)
There’s a part in the movie where Rain goes “Do you know who I am?” and the guy sitting behind me the first time I watched it answered, “My name is Rain.” lol. o(≧∇≦)o In a recent show, Joon talked about Ninja Assassin then for some reason he ended up doing a short skit thing where he tells the smoking dude, “You shouldn’t do that,” in the exact same tone as in the movie. Dork♥
Ninja Assassin was like Kill Bill, except it has pretty Asian boys. Gogo Yubari was cool but a girl on a killing spree is < Joon and Rain struggling with their English lines while on a killing spree.
After the movie, we went to the department store to look at random pretty things like we always do whenever we’re at malls.
I was able to do more Christmas shopping~ It’s my favorite part of the holidays, second only to the fulfilling activity of wrapping gifts. Haven’t done that in the past few years. It’s been a long while since I last gave proper presents to my friends because college gave my mom an excuse to not sponsor my gifts anymore lol.(^ ^;) This year I decided to be generous although I still wasn’t able to save up enough to buy Nhi something like I was planning to do so I got a bunch for my high school friends. Gotta take advantage of my last year with allowance. When I graduate, no longer will I have the right to ask for lunch money. ㅠ.ㅠ
I can’t wait to wrap these and give them out. p(*^w^*)q I will, of course, take pictures and shiz before wrapping although I won’t post until after I’ve given them away.
Off topic: Artwork should have smaller plastic bags or at least they should use paper bags instead. I bought a small item and they put it in a HUGE bag. All of the presents I bought from different shops fit in it.(-┏) They’re not helping the environment at all. I actually ask the bagging people not to bother putting my items in plastic bags if I can just put it in my bag.
☆127♪ We love all the world!

Whoever did the layout might have missed the mistake. Whoever decided to put it up anyway is not the brightest crayon in the box.
It’s a banner congratulating a bunch of Medical Technologists for passing their board exam. I guess it’s a (relatively) good thing these people are not supposed to be English teachers.
