Confessions on October - November K-Pop songs

I'M STILL ALIVE.

Just not as active..
mianhe mianhe mianhe mianhe TT.TT
so much good music, so little time.
SO I shall compress and express it all in this one uber massive post!

BEHOLD.

LUNAFLY: HOW NICE WOULD IT BE

 ok so pretty much every Lunafly song is fantastic baby~
like seriously, as a vocal group they make beautiful music.
REALLY similar to Phantom who made their debut a few months ago with Burning.
It's kind of refreshing to hear k-pop without the typical dancing and doof doof sounds but rather real and soulful notes that make good music and a song with meaning.

AKJFHAKJLHLDSA
AYO LUNA. OMG.

SO I MEMORISED THE ENGLISH VERSION (Superhero) OF THIS SONG AND LISTENED TO IT LIKE 10457920578203750982 ON REPEAT K.

OK SO (from left) YOU HAVE YUN, TEO AND SAM (who's half British)
Not gonna lie. The first time I watched this I was all like OHMYGOD.
REN (Nu'Est) IS THAT YOU??
but then I was like lol no. ur not ren. or hoon in stop gurl.
Teo pls.
That hairstyle already gives me nightmares.

Question though..
Why are these guys not being marketed? Why are they not on music shows? Why do no one know them? Like WHAT?

I'M ACTUALLY SO HAPPY THEY'RE COMING AROUND TO AUSTRALIA NEXT YEAR BUT JK IT'S IN SYDNEY (like always)
SO THE PROBABILITY OF ME GOING TO ANOTHER STATE AND PAYING $200+ TO SEE THEM ON STAGE FOR 3 MINUTES IS LIKE
0.01%

BIGSTAR: THINK

I only got into Bigstar after this mini album and it has been one of the best albums songwise this month. Everything is just composed wonderfully.

CHINCHA AWESOME.

I don't know much about their live performances, but I can always listen to song no matter what.

EXID: EVERY NIGHT

 

I don't understand this MV... at all.

I don't get the gas masks

or the spitting

or the pepper/chilli whatever

or the test tubes

 

but I love the song :D

Probably my favourite female rookies omg LE's rapping sooo so so good!

 





RANIA: STYLE

THEY'RE BACK.

ok ok ok Rania were awesome with such tracks as Dr Feel Good and Pop Pop Pop.

Now we've got STYLE.

Down to 5 members, they are still a pretty strong group.

The MV and production is all YG with seriously blunt lyrics courtesy of Mr Tablo.

I actually really liked this song, the 'Runway Runaway' part is sooooo damn catchy :)

 

AILEE: I'LL SHOW YOU

 Ailee won her first award  recently with her comeback song I'll Show You.

The MV features MBLAQ's G.O who plays her love interest and is sort of a retard for rejecting her and then wanting her back after she transforms into the sexy stylish diva Ailee...

the song is decent but it took a very long time to get used to the disco chorus bit... I think I'll stick to Heaven.

Also check out her new song Evening Sky which is currently promoting the movie 'Now is Good'!

MISS A: I DON'T NEED A MAN

 honestly... this song is annoying D:

It just wasn't as powerful in choreo or concept as Touch, nor was it strong vocally.

It had potential, but even the live performances didn't appeal to me very much..

idk I LIKE Miss A but this song felt inept and a little clumsy in composition.

Songs that I really love though in this 5th project album is Time's Up and If I Were a Boy.

TOXIC: LONELY

 I LIKE IT LIKE IT LIKE IT.

It's so nice having real bands in K-pop omg

ok this duo are HOT.

and TALENTED.

and SEXY.

THE WHOLE FIRST ALBUM IS JUST SO PERFECT. TAIWANMEI.

I just recommend everything, seriously. It's so so so good!!

 

B.A.P: STOP IT

TS. 

IS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO HAVE LIKE 1309472309582 COMEBACKS?

ok so

HAJIMA.... It's very similar to Crash (although I preferred Crash over this)

Like yeah I was genuinely surprised when Crash came out because I thought it was a one off thing for their repackaged and the closing to the end of the year but nooooo.

They come back with this.

And yes.

I mean, it's cute the first time.

But really, just go back to your DOKRATHI MAN VORRIOR ARGHHHHHHH days.

No more cutesy.

Jebal 

 

GIRL'S DAY: DON'T FORGET ME

I'm not big on Girl's Day but this song is actually quite nice.

Just anything but Twinkle Twinkle or Oh My God or the sickly sweet pinky fluffy cute cute aegyo-ridden girly concepts is fine with me.

I love the verses even though they are heavily autotuned but still :D

TAHITI - HASTA LUEGO

I didn't really get into their debut song but Hasta Luego is uber catchy :D

the MV is a tad... how do I say, low budget?

very very dark lighting..

about 90% autotune but hey, autotune can sound nice  i think

HYUNA: ICE CREAM

Need I explain?

Just something else to contribute to Hyuna's repertoire of sexy sexiness~

NS YOON-G: IF YOU LOVE ME ft JAY PARK

Ok I found the ending super creepy in a stalkerish way.
like, I mean the whole gallery of guys on her wall..

It's sorta like Jay Park and all his pics of girls in Girlfriend...

Besides that it's a great song, always love Yoon-G and her awesome vocals.

 

 

Listening to: C-Clown - Young Love

Confessions on Miss A's Touch

The first Miss A album that doesn't feature a pair of legs making an 'A'...

Tracklist: 

1. Touch
2. Lips
3. Rock N Rule
4. No Mercy
5. Over U
6. Touch (Newport Mix)

It's unexplainably beautiful the way this MV is directed. Everyone looks stunning - especially Fei and Suzy! The choreography is slightly awkward with their gothic theme.. EFFF it's gonna take a while to learn the dance, so damn difficult... I really can't wait to see this performed live. This is honestly one of the best concepts ever.

In terms of the actual song, I was slightly disappointed at first. However it truly does get better the more you listen to it. I love the eerie introduction with all the projections. The way this MV is crafted is extraordinary with its haunting wardrobe and ominous stage sets.

The rest of this album is comprised of excellent songs as expected of Miss A. In a way, they all sound quite similar but they sound nonetheless fantastic. Mentions to Rock and Rule and Over U. The remix version actually sounds really nice so check it out and support Miss A and their comeback! 

 

  

   

The teasers for Touch are brilliant - if you haven't seen them, I urge you to watch! They're quite dark, yet beautiful; similar to Miss A's previous title song Goodbye Baby.

 

  

Miss A will be hold their first comeback stage on this week’s M! Countdown on Thursday, February 23.
I can already bet on these girls to win with Touch!

Listening to: 2NE1 - Stay Together

My K-Pop Song/Poem/Letter - Guess the Songs

 

Hahaha this might sound a bit cheesy, but I got bored in class a few days ago and decided to write my own K-Pop song/poem/letter with as many song titles as possible!

So how many song titles can you find?

Noona, you are so pretty, I like you the best.
Day by day, Your luv is like oxygen. Remember, I am your man. I know I did wrong, so I'll back off so you can live better. Someday, I'll take you away. You are my obsession, my beautiful target. Without you, I cry. I hope on one better day, I can make you smile. I'll be back on rainy days to be with U. There is no other love like this. I can't let you go even if I die.

You are number one, girl. Sorry sorry but I love you. You are a heartbreaker with your lies; a monster like the lucifer. My heart beats for you, it can't stop, won't stop. Around and around, again and again. I am not a lucky guy, but I am not alone. I can stay or I can change, but I can never let you go. Sorry I'm not Mr Simple, nor am I perfection or your superman. Please be mine. I'm calling you everyday. You are my virus, my beautiful hangover. I know I'll be in danger, but I don't care. In fiction and fact, black and white, up and down, little by little I will try to be the one. Baby don't cry, don't look so lonely. Everything will be OK. My shinee world would be lightless without your smile. You make my love, my kiss, my heart go ring ding dong.

Be my baby and marry me. I'll never be tired of waiting. Tik tok, tick tack I'm going crazy because of you. Why are you being like this? Before you go, just hug me once. You're a good girl, bad girl... just tell me your wish. Don't say goodbye, we always have tomorrow. Look only at me; you're in my head like a sweet dream. I want to be in heaven with you, let's fly to neverland. I can't breath; I don't want to be in love alone. I can't live without you. This might be our last farewell, but promise me you will do what is right. I can't get you off my mind. Good bye, good bye, my love.

How many songs did you find?

I hope you liked it; it was actually really good fun. I think it got worse towards the end; you can tell I was getting desperate haha

listening to: CN Blue - Where You Are

Confessions on Debut Songs

Recently, Allkpop released an article titled "How long does it take for idols to reach #1?" after Teen Top won their first music program award with their song Crazy. Netizens calculated that it took them exactly 564 days since their debut back in July 2010 with Clap, which has got me thinking:

What are the best/most successful songs that a group debuted with?



CN BLUE - I'M A LONER (15 days after debut)

Oetoriya Oetoriya... Yes in first place is CN to the Bluee! Taking their award after 15 days took the music industry by storm which makes me and many boices very proud. I am yet to approach any one who hates CN Blue which is great because they are real talent without choreography or auto tune.

MISS A - BAD GIRL GOOD GIRL (22 days after debut)

Second place goes to the girls of Miss A. After winning with Bad Girl Good Girl, Miss A have proved to be one of the best female dance groups in Korea. They are expected to make a comeback later in February which are making many A Classes excited :)

G.NA - I'll Back Off So You Can Live (꺼져 줄게 잘 살아) (28 days after debut)

G.NA got a head start in the industry after releasing a duet with Rain. Her first mini album Draw G's First Breath is really amazing and her vocals are seriously powerful. G.NA's recent songs like Black & White and Top Girl don't impress me as much as her ballads but I hope Cube would do more collaberations with their artists.

WONDER GIRLS - IRONY (28 days after debut)

2NE1 - FIRE (40 days after debut)

Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi michigo shippeo! 2009 was the year of 2NE1 and after their unofficial debut song Lollipop with Big Bang, they have dramatically changed K-Pop with their unique style. Fire was not my favourite song, but YG chose his members well. With such an electrifying debut, these girls have had the world in their palms, winning Girl Group of the Year, Song of the Year, releasing 2NE1 TV and performing on stage with reknown US artists.

FT ISLAND - LOVE SICK (55 days after debut)

BIG BANG - LALALA

And look how far Big Bang has come! Starting in 2006, Big Bang has consistently surprised us all with their style and music. It makes me a proud VIP to know that they are recognised worldwide after winning Best Worldwide Act at the 2011 MTV Awards. I don't know why but I get really dizzy after listening to La La La haha but these boys are truly daebak.

SHINEE - REPLAY (NOONA YOU ARE SO PRETTY)

SHINee's debut song Replay remains as one of my favourites, showcasing every member's talents. They really captured the hearts of noonas left right and centre after this track but they made great success with their recent albums. It really strikes me how young Taemin was at the time, being just 15 when promoting Replay... makes me realise what a failed 15 year old I was...

SUPER JUNIOR - KNOCK OUT (TWINS)

TVXQ - HUG

U-KISS - NOT YOUNG

Not Young made U-Kiss seem like such an innocent boy group, right? Then came Man Man Ha Ni. Then came Bingeul Bingeul. Then their innocent boy image became rare and almost non-existent. Truthfully, their 'cute' side never appealed to me. Except Dongho. I can never see him grow up hahahaha

SS501 - WARNING

2PM - 10 POINTS OUT OF 10

This debut made me feel somewhat uncomfortable. Oh that's predebuted G.Na by the way. These beastly idols have changed the least in comparison to other groups, but I didn't like Shipjeom Manjeome Shipjeom. I miss their I Hate You and Without U days...

B2ST - BAD GIRL

BEST. EFFING. DEBUT. EVER. Kikwang, let me marry you, really. They all look so ridiculous, it's absolutely brilliant. But I genuinely love this song and all their other title tracks from their mini albums. I love Yoseob's blonde hair. I love Dongwoon's "C.O.M.E". I love Junhyung's rapping and how it's the exact same as the Japanese version. I love their baggy pants. I love how Kikwang dances in a bathroom. This is top stuff, nuff said.

MBLAQ - OH YEAH

OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH YEAH YEAH. I wish I could meet their stylist and give her a big hug. It's like Lee Joon is shirtless, but not shirtless, understood? It's great. But I truly hate their coloured costumes because it's just outright atrocious. In all truth, I hated this song. But it slowly grew on me to the point where it is now acceptable.

SNSD - INTO THE NEW WORLD

KARA - BREAK IT

AFTER SCHOOL - AH

F(X) - LACHATA

Listening to: Wheesung - Insomnia
