Davichi – Don’t Say Goodbye & Love Oh Love – Inkigayo

4 Sep

Power vocal duo, Davichi made their comeback on today’s Inkigayo performing two songs from their new release, Love Delight.

Love Oh Love is a very sweet ballad that is perfect the autumn months. The cold weather is starting to come and everyone wants to feel warm and happy inside with their loved ones – this is a song to listen to when it gets dark outside.

Don’t Say Goodbye is their lead single and is another beautiful ballad – however this one has more arrangement and production than the first performance. The girls really show off the powerful vocals on this song. Arguably they have some of the strongest vocals at the moment? Congratulations to Davichi for a successful comeback! Check out their performance here:

Welcome to K-Pop Peach!

A quick update post to let everyone know that this is blog has gone through some changes as I’m sure you can see!

There’s now a brand new domain – http://kpoppeach.co.uk so it’s easier for you to remember (and makes sense…). A new design and layout (that I will be working on over the coming weeks).

Work is super busy so unfortunately I don’t have as much time to post here as I did before but I still plan to post here frequently – hopefully with more consistency than as of lately.

So, what do you think of the newest changes?

T-ara – Roly Poly Live on Inkigayo 31st July 2011

31 Jul

My favourite band !ever! is T-ara! Today they performed Roly Poly on Inkigayo =] Roly Poly is one of my favourite songs and is now number 8 for most plays on my iPod/computer! Not bad considering some of the songs also on there are really quite old… If you are interested in the number one most listened to song… it’s Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain! Anyways, check out T-ara’s awesome performance below – especially Soyeon’s cute glasses ^_^

2NE1 – Ugly + Hate You Live on Inkigayo 31st July 2011

31 Jul

One of the hottest girl bands in K-Pop at the moment, 2NE1, made a comeback on Inkigayo today! Performing two of their new songs, Ugly and Hate You they set the stage alight! It’s nice to see the girls on a stage again (after YG Entertainment focusing on global online peformances). Gives me something to blog about!

I really like these songs, for me they are a natural prgoression of the strong 2NE1 sound that the girls have really made their own! Check out the performances below:

Ugly is really a beautiful song too and I love the slight nod to Beyonce’s Run The World =] 2NE1 hwaiting!

T-ara – Roly Poly Full Length MV

29 Jun

T-ara have released a very interesting MV for their comeback mini-album. It’s over 10 minutes long and even has a cameo from Boram-unnie’s father! I love the whole concept! At first I was a little skeptical because it… sounds so strange. But now hearing the song, seeing the dance routine and seeing the full-length MV – it makes me happy!

T-ara hwaiting!

T-ara – Roly Poly Short MV

29 Jun

T-ara have just released the short version of their MV to their hot new song Roly Poly. I’m addicted already! I definitely think that this will be a hit! Netizens are already saying that it will be a big hit – Triple Crown anyone?

I love the girls’ cute retro theme and the dance routine is so cool! Really gotta learn this one ^_^

T-ara – Roly Poly MV Teaser

27 Jun

Any long term readers of this blog (and people that know me) will know that I love T-ara. I know I know, most people don’t like them as much as many other idol groups (2NE1, Kara, SNSD), but there’s a soft spot in my heart for them. I think they just make the kind of music that gets inside my brain.

The girls are back with a new song – Roly Poly! Check out the MV teaser below – doesn’t it look awesome?! I’m very impressed with the concept. I wasn’t quite sure how it’d look but when I first started to see the promo photos I knew I would be hooked! Likewise, I’m still not sure on the album title… but Roly Poly definitely sounds catchy! Very much like Bo Peep Bo Peep. This wasn’t my favourite song when they started doing their promotions (it still isn’t) but I like pretty much every single T-ara song without fail. Normally I listen to one song on repeat over and over again. I still do that when listening to their songs but each song has some plays!

Anyways! Check out the the MV teaser below! I can’t remember when their comeback stage is but it is some time this week! I’m totally excited! Jiyeon looks fierce in the MV! Qri looks cute (Qri is underused!) but still Soyeon unnie is my favourite! Soyeon hwaiting!

2NE1 – I AM THE BEST – Live on Inkigayo @ 26 June 2011

27 Jun

2NE1 recently made their comeback with I AM THE BEST! A catchy new beat driven song that is completely different from Lonely. I loved Lonely, I thought it was a very different kind of song to the K-Pop norm. However, they’re back with a zesty new hit! What do you think? Do you think they will get chart crowns with I AM THE BEST? I think if they promote it for long enough they will – I know someone people were disappointed that they did not perform Lonely on many music stages so hopefully 2NE1 fans will have some more performances to look forward to!

Namie Amuro & After School – Make It Happen Song & MV Teaser

17 Feb

Japan’s undisputed Queen of Hip Pop recently announced that she will be releasing a special collaboration album (which is cutely getting called Amuro’s Collabo by fans). Amongst the news that she will be dueting with lots of famous J-pop stars was that After School will be making their official, Japanese debut on a track with Amuro!

Amazing right?! Namie is one of my favourite J-pop artists (definitely top 5), and whilst After School aren’t my favourite band, I do like their music and style so I’m super stoked for them! Check here for a brief teaser for the MV and you can hear a short clip of the song:

Everyone looks amazing right? Especially Namie and Kahi. The song sounds really good too so be sure to check back for the full audio!

For me, this represents a landmark development in the Korean, Hallyu wave. Of course you had/have artists like BoA and DBSK and in the past few months we have seen the surge in popularity of KARA and SNSD (Shoju Jidai), but to my knowledge, this is the first time a Korean idol girlgroup has dueted with such a huge star in Japan. It will be interesting to know why Namie selected After School – I think they have similar, punchy and fierce attitudes and stage presence.

With KARA’s future looking stressed, and SNSD following a cuter image, After School definitely has a chance to launch in Japan with a strong, powerful debut.
