FT Island - Be My Girl + Severely [20120202]

This was their first comeback performance which was in M! Countdown. I seriously love it whenever everyone sings.

Their albums are seriously getting good every time. I wanted to buy their Remake album but stopped myself with the excuse that it’s not really their songs. (But they made it theirs. Favorite was “That Person in Shinsadong”. It doesn’t sound too special at first, but when you get to hear the original version, you will really think that Hongki’s a genius for making an awesome version of a trot song.)

I don’t think I can stop myself from buying this new album. My favorite song is “Be My Girl”. I have at least one favorite song in each album they make, and those songs were mostly sung by all the members; not just Hongki.

And listen to their performances. They sing LIVE, unlike most Korean idols. I still think that they’re the best band ever. And in case someone points out that some band is better than them, then fine. They’re the best band in Korea. (Actually for me, they’re the best band ever. And not just in Korea.)

K, I’m sleepy. Night!

NewS - Cherish

Posting this cause I admit that J-POP is sometimes addictive. (Okay, maybe more than sometimes. I actually liked J-POP first before K-POP. AND I even like FT Island’s Japanese songs a bit more than some of their Korean songs. Shhhh!) And Nishikido Ryo is just too cute. Hahaha!

OKAY. SPAZZING TIME AGAIN!! I’ve been busy for the past month and I really haven’t opened allkpop (my ultimate source) nor my beloved’s Twitter, so I really didn’t have any updates. UNTIL LAST SATURDAY. A new song!! Well, a remake actually. But a new Korean album!! YAY! Since CNBLUE’s doing their activities in Japan right now, I guess it’s FTISLAND’s time to be active in Korea again.

(I’m one of those people who appreciates the 90s music more than the present. You can take a look at my iPod and you’ll find that I listen to more 90s/early 2000s music more than the music now. I’ve got a lot of new songs, too, but I haven’t listened to all of them. I just copied those songs from my friends without actually knowing the songs. I even have Lady Gaga’s songs and I don’t even like her. The present singers I like listening to, other than KPOP, are Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat, and the like.) 

So I really find that this song fits me. Though this was a song from the 80s, but still.. it screams me. Though I really don’t know what the words mean, since it’s in Korean.

I love the music, the rhythm, everything! Hongki’s voice is amazing as usual, but there’s that different feel to his voice that makes you want to feel the wind through your hair. LOL. His voice always had that really dramatic feel, and it still has that but now it feels cooler. I don’t really know how to explain it. Or maybe it’s just me. I don’t know. And Jaejin and Seunghhyun’s rap. AMAZING! They’re really getting better. And Minhwan’s cute. Haha! I don’t really know what to say about Minari. Don’t know much about drums. And last but definitely not the least, JONGHUN. Yes, capitalized!! He’s so good in playing the guitar. (And the piano.) And that’s what I like about him the most. No one could ever look good as him playing the guitar. WHY?! Hahaha! He’s the first person I know who is so passionate in playing the guitar.

And they look good in these shorter hair styles, except for Hongki. He now has longer hair compared to the time they were promoting RETURN. I liked that hairstyle better, but he still looks good. Especially compared to his BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY hair. I think Jaejin just trimmed his hair a bit. I don’t know about other people, but I think his blonde hair suits him. My friends don’t like it. And the maknaes clean cut suits them really well. As for JONGHUN (Yes, capitalized again. If you’re a new follower, you’ll probably know by now who’s my favorite in the band.), his new hairstyle reminds me of JUMP UP days. Back when they still had that boy next door image. But now he’s more manlier. It’s a boy-come-sit-next-to-me image. Whatever that means! Lol.

2NE1 “I AM THE BEST” (내가제일잘나가) Teaser_30 SEC. (by 2NE1)

2NE1’s so awesome! I still have to say that they are the best K-POP girl group! Because they are different from other girl groups who make pretty-slash-cute faces and that’s so cliché already. And also maybe partly because I’m forever a bias of Dara. :D But nevertheless, they are still awesome! :D

YG’s so awesome in handling their stars. They don’t overexpose them, which gets boring sometimes, and they have those special TV shows just for their artists.

I love how they are releasing one 2NE1 song every three weeks or so. It’s not boring. And you get to listen more to the tracks rather than just listen to the main song. 

I just have a comment on this song. It sounds awesome, but it sounds more or less like a Lady Gaga song. And I really don’t like it. (Sorry, Lady Gaga fans. Please don’t hate me.) I wish the full song wouldn’t be so Lady Gaga-ish. :)

EDIT.
But yeah, it sounds great for party songs! :D 

This post is about two weeks late already, but I still have to make this post.

If you still don’t know, I’m a big fan of FT Island and other, not all, Korean groups. And my biggest crush love would be Choi Jong Hun. Yeah, I’m almost obsessed. Haha! He’s a guitarist, pianist, singer, and songwriter. WUHOOO!

I love his latest composition which is “I Confess”. I wonder who he was thinking while writing that song. I mean, yeah, he’s “single” right now. At least that’s what fans think. He must have someone special in his life right now. Otherwise, everything just doesn’t makes sense.

But though this song isn’t for me, I still love him!! ♥♥♥
