Well, my first rant after starting my blog a few days ago.
Well, DBSK is going to release their 4th Korean album soon, I remember seeing a tracklist on AsianFanatics but I don’t know if it’s real or not. From my poor hangul reading skills, I managed to decipher that one of the korean titles might be Kissしたまま、さよなら. It also said there was going to be a korean version of Beautiful You, looked interesting, but if it’s the real one I would just die. Ah well, when I get my money staright I will buy a copy of this album.
Big Bang just released their new mini-album, I thought it was okay, I didn’t like Oh My Friend much, it was okay, not my type of song though. I love Haru Haru of course, but the thing is, the lead songs from all three of their mini-albums have the same concept, lots of rapping, then a catchy chorus. It works great but that makes me think they have no new ideas for making good music.
Get ready battle of the idol groups in Korea this fall, DBSK, Big Bang, Wonder Girls, So Nyuh Shi Dae, Super Junior too I believe. There was a SHINee first album teaser released so I guess they’re going to be a part of it too. SS501 also came, so did Kara so I guess there’s a chance they’ll be in it too. Lots of new boy and girl bands have been planning their debuts in the fall, not such a great idea, they’re going to get whopped. Ah well, I can’t wanit for this fall, I’m a big fan of all of these groups and I’m pretty excited to see the turnout.
It’s almost SM Town Live ‘08. I can’t wait for that, personally, I am big fan of SM Artists, great catchy music and lots of different concepts…well, for a majority of them at least. I just wish they would stop amking their artists stay in Japan so much. I’ve missed BoA for a while, she’s been confirmed to be performing at Seoul and Shanghai but not for Beijing or Bangkok yet. Ah well, I wish I could see more of her performing Korean songs, or releasing a new korean album at least. Like 3 years in Japan and she still hasn’t made any real improvement. In stead hersales have come down. Come back BoA! Her latest japanese songs have just been total flops for me.
I guess my first rant will end here, all about Kpop, but ah well, I guess my next one will be about Jpop then. For the MP3, since this is Kpop, then it’ll have to be a Kpop song, since it’s day after day I keep pushing back taking care of this blog, I guess I’ll share Big Bang’s Haru Haru MP3 with you guys.
