T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep Live @ Music Bank

4 Dec

:D <3 T-ara! And finally they're performing live with their new material! Wahoo! The girls sang Bo Peep Bo Peep on Music Bank today and I really loved the performance. Their management has said they're going to promote with both songs so I can't wait for them to perform Like The First Time/Beginning. The girls continued the kitten theme with fur skirts and a couple wore kitten gloves. How cute! The singing wasn't great live but the song is more cutesy singing.

4Minute & Mario & Amen – Jingle Jingle MV

4 Dec

Awww, how nice is Christmas? Everyone loves the festive period! It’s all so pretty and cute and lovely~ *sigh* ^_^ 4Minute have released the MV for Jingle Jingle. It’s pretty cute, a lot less sexy and has the concept of a comic book. Pretty cool!

2PM – Heartbeat Live @ Blue Dragon Film Awards

3 Dec

Following on from manager, JYP, 2PM also performed at the prestigious film awards night. They sang Heartbeat, which is definitely one of my favourite songs of the year and clearly shows that Korean artists can perform and make music just as well and if not better than their American counterparts. I wish the world could see how talented Asian stars really are ^_^ Anyways, check out 2PM’s performance complete with rather nice clothes ripping towards the end!

JYP – No Love No More Live @ Blue Dragon Film Awards

3 Dec

Ooo, JYP is making a great comeback! Who knew that he could still bust out moves like this and still sing? He has so much energy and so much love for his career. Definitely give him respect!

4Minute & Mario & Amen – Jingle Jingle

3 Dec

4Minute are back with a very cute Christmas song. Continuing their electro/trance style they’ve teamed up with Mario & Amen to release this festive little ditty. It’s really cute, Jingle Jingle~ but it’s not amazing. But still, I love Christmas so all Christmas songs are great ^_^

Namie Amuro – Fast Car & The Meaning of Us MV ~ PAST < FUTURE

1 Dec

Namie Amuro is back with some MVs for Fast Car and The Meaning of Us from her 9th studio album, PAST <3 FUTURE. Fast Car is a pretty slick pop dance song that reminds me of her work from PLAY; all dancey but not overly r and b. The Meaning of Us sees Namie on winter ballad mode and she delivers really nice vocals. The song has a very simple structure and production which highlights Namie's singing. I think sometimes Namie can be forgotten for being able to sing because she releases so many upbeat songs, but when she sings a ballad it's beautiful. Her song Wishing On The Same Star is one of my favourite Namie songs.

Namie looks amazing in both MVs!!! I've never seen her look so beautiful, she gets more beautiful with every year that goes by. Fast Car continues her dominance of dance/hip-hop dance routines, this time with a fan as a prop! I've always liked Namie's dancing, it's not trashy or over the top or too hip-hop, although she is the self-titled queen of hip-pop. Namie seems to be loving the gothic lolita style and can be seen wearing lots of Victorian and French 19th century clothes. Although, I have to admit, there is quite a big similiarity between this MV and BoA's Do The Motion… I prefer BoA <3 The Meaning of Us sees Namie looking very simple, yet really pretty. She looks so beautiful whilst not trying hard – it's something I've not seen before from her. I'm really pleasantly surprised by how cute she looks. Normally she looks a bit vampish or disco for her MVs, but here she looks really pretty.

Namie Amuro – My Love & Copy That / PAST < FUTURE Album Cover

1 Dec

Namie Amuro is back! Yep, she’s finally back with a full album, entitled PAST < FUTURE. It has Wild/Dr. and new songs My Love & Copy That which are being used as the new Vidal Sasson CMs. The new songs sound pretty cool so far. I like My Love more than Copy That. Sadly, neither of these songs are getting an MV but she is releasing MVs for other songs to be used for promotion of the album which I'm really looking forward to :D I've always liked Namie, she's like a less hardcore Koda Kumi, or a more edgier Ayumi Hamasaki. She's not my favourite, but she makes pretty cool pop songs.

JYP – No Love No More MV

1 Dec

JYP’s new MV is out for No Love No More. I’m always pleasantly surprised by how generous JYP is to his groups, giving them the best songs and dance routines and making them work really hard, but also letting them have a life and some free time. Wonder Girls always look happy even when they’re working really hard. I think all that credit goes to JYP. JYP’s new song, No Love No More, is pretty slick! He’s so talented!

T-ara – Like The First Time MV

30 Nov

XD The MV for Like The First Time is out! I <3 T-ara! This is definitely one of my favourite MVs of the year. The concept is really cute; everyone is helping Hyomin get ready for her date~ awww! Bless em ^_^ But! it's not all cutesy, the girls give a pretty naughty dance routine! It reminds me of Ivy's Touch Me dance or Chae Yeon's Shake dance O_o Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, because Chae Yeon and Ivy were both met with bans for their MVs… I hope there is no back lash against T-ara, as they are working so hard to become a success and I really wish they will be! Anyways, the MV is pretty cool and I'm going off to learn the dance routine now ^^ But, omg! Look at Boram! She looks pretty and she can sing! She's not just a little waste of space that most people thought she was! At least I did; I never quite knew why Boram was there…

T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep MV

30 Nov

T-ara are doing something a little different with their MVs for Bo Peep Bo Peep. They’ve released two versions – one for 19+ and one for 15+ age groups. The 15+ one is pretty cute and sees the girls in cute outfits dancing a funny little bouncey dance, and some fun close ups of the girls just being silly. The 19+ one is raunchy :o A bit of dirty dancing and some flesh on show? Oh dear Core Contents Media, what have you done?! This will no doubt get banned by conservative Korea. It’s not that raunchy, but compared to some of the MVs that have got banned recently, this is definitely going that way. Anyways, the 19+ one has an interesting concept about the girls being cats. Yeah-huh! I know right? Totally not going to get played in Korea~
