Introducing #30: GREATGUYS

안녕하세요! ^^

So today I found a boygroup called GREATGUYS (멋진녀석들). They debuted 2 years ago but this is the first time I've heard of them. They just released a new song a couple of days ago and it showed up in my recommended list on youtube. Because I was bored I decided to check them out.

Let's check them out together!

Debut #4: Rocket Punch & Fanatics

안녕하세요 ^^

Rocket Punch - BIM BAM BUM

I accidentally came across this music video and decided to check them out since I read about them. I haven't watched Produce 48 but I liked IZ*ONE's debut song so I've kept an eye on them.
I haven't been really impressed by any recent debuts so I wasn't expecting much. But I was proven wrong. I'm really glad I watched this music video because this song is really good. It's different but in a good way.
So this group has three members that was a part of Produce 48. At first I only heard of Takahashi Juri so I checked out their profile and it turned out they have a total of 3 members that was a part of Produce 48. Juri, Suyun and Sohee, with Suyun being the first one that I noticed in the music video.
But this group is a 6 member group and the other 3 members haven't disappointed me either. Yeonhee, Yunkyoung and Dahyun. While being the maknae Dahyun has gotten me interested, she's really cute and a great singer as well.
I love the choreography and I love the live version as well. If I like a music video I almost always go to watch a live version because I love seeing the dance choreography and see how good the groups perform. Sometimes the live version make me fall more in love than the music video. They really showed me how good they are at performing already through their live performance.
I've come to realize that this group has been really hyped up because of Takahashi Juri and I'm happy that this group haven't started out as a "Juri and the girls" kind of group.
I'm looking forward to what they have to show us next.

Fanatics - Sunday

So this is apparently another Produce group with Chaelin from 101 and Doah from 48. I read an article about them before watching their music video. So one day when I was bored I checked their music video out. And it seemed like a good song, although a little lacklusterless. But Sica and Doah really impressed me.
I liked the choreography as well so I decided to check out the live performance in hopes that it would make me more impressed. But it actually did the opposite. Maybe it's because they just debuted (although some of the members did already debut through a subunit) but their voices was really thin and it fell short for me.
I know they haven't gotten as much hype as Rocket Punch (and it seems a lot of people think it's because they're from a smaller company) but I'm not sure they were quite ready to debut.
Maybe they'll improve over time but I think I'd rather keep an eye on Rocket Punch than Fanatics..

As always this is only my opinion so make your own by watching their music videos.

Comeback rant: Major update

Annyeong ^^

It's time for some MV updates ^^ Click on Yejun for music videos by Block B, Jung Joonyoung, IU, Tiny-G, Teen Top, Pure, VIXX & Okdal, FT Island and MYNAME

Some updates ^^

Annyeong ^^

This post will just be a little update on stuff like my B1A4 In The Wind album, 100% autographed album, Seo Inguk's new Japanese single, my sent CDJapan packages, my dentist appointment, Min's pre-debut time, LEDApple's newest music note and album, Cross Gene and MYNAME Bonus Material.


1. I finally got my autographed B1A4 In The Wind album from Kpopshopper which I ordered last december. As soon as my sister finds her charger to her camera I'll give you a proper update.

2. I've ordered 100%'s new album autographed from Soompi. It got sold out really quick so I'm lucky I had another way to get a hold of it since I didn't have enough money on my paypal account T_T At first I was kind of hoping that it would be available for a while so I could order it when the money arrived but I decided to try and pay without paypal and it actually worked xP

3. Seo Inguk will release a new Japanese single T_T I got really nervous because I don't have money for it but it won't be released until October xD So I can calmly wait before ordering ^^ (although I hope that the first press is still available by then).

Pre-order your copy here:
We Can Dance Tonight [CD+DVD] [Type-A] / Seo InGuk

We Can Dance Tonight [Type-B] / Seo InGuk
Do you guys know which hugh help you do to me if you click my CDJapan links and then buy something there or come back within a month to buy something? You don't have to buy what you click just if you're planning to buy anything from CDJapan I would be deeply thankful if you could go through my links :) ♥

This mainly applies to my links posted after 11/5 - 2012 althought I will change the links I have on my Collection post ^^

4. My Hello Again CD's hasn't arrived yet even though they were supposed to be here yesterday T___T I'm hoping they'll come this week at least and together with my other package from them.

5. I went to the dentist today and got there about 15 minutes before my appointment. Then I got out of there 5 minutes after my scheduled appointment ^^ This is why I like dentists more than doctors. I spent most off my teenage years at the dentist always getting braces and pulling out teeth. So I guess I'm used to them. I definitely don't like them but at least they aren't as bad as health centrals and hopsitals and doctors. They don't have a clue of what's wrong. At least dentists can see what's wrong and fix it. Doctors can't. I went there recently cause I hurt my knee and they don't know why I'm hurting. It's been a month and it still hurts. >_< I'll never like doctors!

6. I found some pre-debut songs/videos from Min (Miss A) when she was preparing for debuting in the US that I wanted to share ^^

Min - Dance Like This

It's the song that is Min's ^^

Min - Go Ahead

Min - Boyfriend

7. Another episode of Gu Family Book is subbed and out :D

8. LEDApple has released a new Music Note this time with SPICA's Kim Boa and she's really proving that she's an amazing singer!

Pink - Just give me a reason By Led apple & SPICA(BoA Kim) Music note #23/50

Don't forget to buy their new album :D
It's on pre-order at:
Kpopmart $11.40 ($18.30)
Kpoptown $12.60 ($20)
YesAsia $14.99 ($23.96)
Soompi $15.99 ($20.98)
DVDHeaven $10.64 ($12)
What's inside the brackets are the albums with the cheapest shipping cost to Sweden. I haven't bought anything from DVDHeaven yet but if I only buy their new album I might buy it from them seeing how that one was the cheapest and I need to save money..

9. Cross Gene had their 1st year anniversary this June 7th :D I'm happy for them!

10. I've finally understood how to rip my DVD's so now I can upload BTS and such ^^
I've already uploaded the Hello & Goodbye Bonus Material from MYNAME's What's Up type B DVD :) But it's not subbed T_T If anyone wants I might be able to upload Kim Kyujong's interview from his DVD ^^ At least that one is subbed x)

That's it for this update ^^ It became a bit longer than I expected ^^

Review: Kim Kyujong, History, Seo Inguk & B1A4

Introducing #14: History

History

Although LOEN could've chosen a better name for this new boy group (seriously only history on different things come up when I search) I really love this debut. The song is really amazing and it's different from all the other Korean songs that is out there. I love the almost whispers in the song and I love that it goes from slow to fast and so on. These boys are really talented!

Read more to get to know more about the group ^^

Kpop rant: Youngsaeng, M4M, Timez, B1A4 & MYNAME

Annyeong ^^

Anyone that has seen Heo Youngsaeng's new music video Art of Seduction? It's super good but it ain't as powerful live.

And I was anticipating M4M because I really like TimeZ and would like to find more Chinese groups to like (although I know that they both have debuted in Korea x). But the song wasn't that good and it sounded like they where singing "Say Yes" instead of "Sadness" the whole song. It took me almost the whole song to realise that they didn't sing "Say Yes" since it didn't make sense. So I'm really disappointed.

Oh! And TimeZ leader ShuHang has taken a grip on me. I'm starting to like him more than GuanXi, MaoMao and Seonghwan T_T This is bad xP
I actually don't have many leaders as my biases. Cross Gene's Takuya is the only one. I used to have B1A4's Jinyoung as my bias but Sandeul stole that part later on.

Okay, one last thing before I go. I've gotten both my autographed MYNAME Message album and B1A4 Oyasumi, Good Night album with a group photocard. I'll upload it sometime soon :)

Bye
Cecilia

Debut 3: 2YOON

Annyeong ^^
This will just be a short post.

I've listened to 2YOON's album constantly (well, with the exception for when I was at a meeting) and it's just amazing! As I already said I love 24/7 and their other songs are in the same wavelength as that one. Although I was a bit sceptic for the song that Ilhoon is featuring in (I don't like his rapping) I love that one too.

Why Not is amazing!! Here's the live performance they performed today

Amazing :D Although I don't like Jiyoon's styling T_T

And I think I know why I wasn't impressed by B.A.P's new song. I've listened to it as well (I have a playlist that currently consist of 2YOON, B.A.P and VIXX) and I like the song. It sounds different and good BUT I don't feel like it really is a B.A.P song. It doesn't feel like their style at all. They've done different styles before but this doesn't fit. I do like their voices in this song and it fits their vocals but nothing more. I'm not sure if I explained it well or not.. And I'm not sure if I know myself what I'm trying to say (it's currently 1.40 am) so instead of trying to this anymore complicated I'm going to bed :P

Annyeong^^

The new years first new music videos ^^

Annyeong ^^

It's 2013 and now the new songs have started to come out :)
Check them out ^^

Comeback #8: Music videos ^^

Annyeong ^^

Lots of groups have had their comeback or debut and I haven't mentioned them at all. But here are three groups who've released something that I've liked ^^ Because it's so late (and I'm getting up really early tomorrow o.o) there will only be this three for today :] But don't worry I'll show you some other music videos later on ;}

AA - AGEHA Dance

AA is gonna have their comeback soon and before that comeback they released this music video ^^ I'm happy to see them comeback but I hope Aaora doesn't have that hair colour! Watch and enjoy ^__^

100% - Bad Boy

100% debuted not that long ago :) I fell in love with them when I randomly started watching Teen Top Rising 100% and anticipated their debut ^^ I like this song and the music video (although they could have shown a little more of Changbum ^^)

ChAOS - Kiss Kiss

ChAOS released a digital single recently and it's really good. I love the music video (although it's a bit centred on just one member...) and the song is catchy ^^

Unboxing: Beast, C-Clown & DGNA

Annyeong ^^

So I did an unboxing video (but I was too afraid to talk T_T) hope you enjoy it ^^ (The bad quality is probably cause I recorded it with my webcam and had to use the lowest quality on Youtube to be able to upload it)

Just want to say that I love C-Clown's track called In The Car (The first song in the video ^^) It's amazing! I'm happy that I bought their album :D (But I have to say that I love their Smurfversion of Solo better than the original version ^^)

BTW, my Honki Magic from CDJapan came after two weeks as it did last time ^^ The poster came in a super thin cardboard tube so the whole package was pretty small :)



(Please ignore my gigantic pimple T-T)

B.A.P

Annyeong...

Today I'm sad.. People who follow me on twitter probably knows why (cause I let it all out there). B.A.P doesn't seem to like support since it's hard to actually get there album. Let me tell you the whole story.

Review: Yesasia Summer Sale

Annyeong ^__^

I got my package from Yesasia's summer sale not long ago today and because I'm still sad that my B.A.P album hasn't arrived yet I'll share pictures on the stuff that has arrived after the jump so click on the link to read more ^^ <3

Comback #5: Updating ^^

Annyeong :)

It's been a while oO I've been busy with baby-sitting and working and just lazy :P And tomorrow will another week start where I'll work all week long + my cousins are coming so I probably won't be updating (and the week after that I'll be going to my relatives). So I'll just give you a quick update for now :)

(Just have to tell everyone that South Korea's national team in handball (12 y/o boys) won their class at Partille Cup)
An update about DGNA, LEDApple, A-JAX, BIGSTAR, B.A.P, N-Train, NU'EST etc. will be found after the jump :) (the post got too long xD)

Debut 2: Cross Gene + "Sneak peek"

I've actually watched  this mv carefully a few times now because I don't want to do what I normally do. Like a song/mv because I like the members or one of them and then a few months later wonder why I even liked it the first time. But this song, I like and it sounds like something that could be played here in Sweden without making it weird (like how Big Bang tries to be international with their weird songs... I really liked them before and now I haven't even liked one of their new songs T_T). I think this genre (or what ever you'd like to call it :P) really suits them!

The dance is a dance I actually think is cool right from the beginnig. Sometimes it looks a bit funny but none of their dance moves looks weird to me. It fits this song and mv. I usually have a problem with kpop groups dances but this is really great ^__^ And I think they've really taken care of the members strenghts so that they each can shine both on their own but also together. I've often felt that some groups either don't co-operate so that all members can shine or some of the members gets more shine when they're suppose to shine together (does it makes sense?)..

I love the fact that Takuya, the only Japanese guy, is the leader x) or maybe not.. I'm not sure if I want him to be the leader... I usually don't like the leaders oO I think the only leader I've liked is Jinyoung from B1A4 but he's not my bias anymore... But I bet he can do a great job ;) But the reason I found that fact funny is because he already stands out as the only Japanese guy (is he the first one ever debuting in a kpop group??) and now he's the leader too ^^

Oh well.. Should head to bed but first I'm just gonna share a "sneak peek" on my package from Kpoptown ^__^ Thought it would come next week since they sent it last friday but it came today :D :D
My TVXQ Mirotic comes in an really awesome album package :D It has a normal CDcase but it comes in an outer "box" too and that is what is awesome :D You'll see in the pictures ;)
My MBLAQ BLAQ Style also comes in a awesome outer "box" styled as a M ^^ it's hot and it came with photos of the members (like photo cards) :D a bad thing with it is that it can't stand on it's own T_T Wanted to display it but that's kind of impossible now...
Yeo Hun Min (or Hoon) is the same as his album is called; Pure & Love ~^^~

Terada Takuya

Annyeong~

My baby Terada Takuya are going to debut in the Korean-Chinese-Japanese boygroup Cross Gene :D :D  I can't wait to hear it ~^_^~

(can't stop spazzing and it's already 2am oO)
Going to bed know.. Well, at least try to sleep xP
Annyeong ^^
