Tracklist
1. Tick Tack
2. Forbidden Love
3. Show Me Your Smile
4. We Set off!!
5. A Shared Dream
6. The Sound of Magic
7. Orion
8. Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe
9. Man Man Ha Ni (Japanese version)
10. Bingeul Bingeul (Japanese version)
11. Shut Up!! (Japanese version)
12. Believe



Does anyone else think that Japanese U-Kiss songs sound much better than their Korean songs?

OK I have a massive love for Forbidden Love.
a) because I seeee more Kiseop

b) this move:




I really have to laugh at Hoon who is the last person to the right. He just looks incredibly awkward whilst thrusting O.O

c) Kevin has less man-liner. really, Neverland made him look like a woman. However I do see some Kevin swag coming along fu fu fu~

Blink and you’ll miss dat ass. 
I recommend not blinking.

But Forbidden Love is genuine a good song besides my stupid reasons. Next title track is A Shared Dream:


Don't like this song as much, probably because it's so ballady. But I've found some behind the scenes photos which are quite amusing that I've added at the end of this post.

Almost all the other songs on the album sound the same as typically Japanese. The remake versions of Bingeul Bungeul and Man Man Ha Ni made me cry as a Kiss Me... these songs are now eternally ruined! ... Well, not really, but it still frustrates me.

Apparently U-Kiss will return to Korea for their next album in April along with B2ST, CNBlue and SHINee. It seems like another bad timing if U-Kiss is to win their first award since their 2008 debut T.T

Confessions on Big Bang's Alive Mini-album


BIG BANG IS BACK AHUH MOST DEFINITELY INCREDIBLE HEY MOVE!

Tracklist:
  1. Alive (Intro)
  2. Blue
  3. Love Dust
  4. Bad Boy
  5. Ain’t No Fun
  6. Fantastic Baby
  7. Wings (Daesung Solo)
  8. Blue (Instrumental)
  9. Fantastic Baby (Instrumental)

Truthfully, being the old cynical me, Big Bang's 4th Mini Album impressed me more. Yes I love this album, but after their recent events, I can feel their music is drifting into more dark and sad tones. Blue is undoubtedly an amazing song, but this MV put me off completely. I waited all night to watch this and I was disappointed to see practically a tourism video for NY with Big Bang trolling around with wierd hair. And yes, let me rant about their hair... WTF IS GOING ON.

Individually, I'll tackle GD first because it is just shocking. I mean LOOK at him!


I don't really mind the rest, I mean Taeyang hasn't changed in years; I expected TOP to go few with a few more colours of the rainbow... but seriously, his hair looks like play-doh. Seungri reminds me of Minho Hello Era... You know, the ugly half fringe short cut thing? but oh lord Daesung looks incredible, right? :D





Favourite song and MV HAS to be ... WOW. Fantastic baby!

I just love it to bits. I have a theory that because BB won MV of the year with Love Song, they are trying to recreate that same atmosphere and setting, but really, I miss their uber-awesome-high-production stuff LIKE what YG is giving 2NE1 at the moment.

Big Bang is already topping the charts in Asia and has already won on Music Bank, which poses as a threat to every group out there that's set to debut this month or is performing at this moment. In a way, I find Big Bang ultimately overrated, but I will still support them with this new album.

Big Bang fighting!

ANNOUNCEMENT

I wanted to say thank you to faithful viewers and, well viewers in general - this is the fifth month of Confessions in the Cube and I am working hard to keep up-to-date despite my busy life. We have also hit 5000 views which makes me scream with joy considering my first month had just a little over 200 views. Please look forward to some confessions on Big Bang, U-Kiss, EXO and B1A4 scheduled for this week. Also, I aim to bring back Battles and Member confessions later this month.

Keep K-Popping and I leave you with a yummy good-bye stage performance of TEEN TOP with Crazy remix version.

Somehow, I feel that their mic stands and choreography just makes this performance even dirtier.. fu fu fu! Please enjoy these 3 delightful minutes of glorious Niel , especially at 1.10!


TEEN TOP GO GO PUT YOUR HANDS UP HIGH!!

Confessions on my K-Pop Life Episode 14

One day, I was casually scrolling on Facebook and my eyes dropped down to this:


My reaction:

HOLY SHIT. INFINITE DOING TROUBLE MAKER? HOMGADFKL

I fangirled for a good half an hour. I always thought it was L and Sungyeol who was preparing Troublemaker but OH MY SUNGJONG. SO MANLY, MANLIER THAN HYUNSEUNG!

I feel that Sungjong is losing his trademark girliness. It was the only thing that defined him from the rest of Infinite. I'll be a sad Inspirit if he starts getting abs and all... ON THE OTHER HAND What on heaven happened to Sungyeol? It's like the two switched places! If they were going to do Troublemaker, I would have thought Sungjyeol would be Hyunseung and Sungjong would be Hyuna!

Have you guys seen other fancams of the concert? It is so damn holy brilliant!


Yo Woohyun, I’m really happy for you but Sunggyu x Microphone is one of the best OTPs of all time.

Can't get over this moment.
