back! =D

I'm sleepy, but since I'm computer-deprived, I watched videos right after I came back. So here they are, but I'm lazy to type, so it's gonna be short.

DBSK on The Star Show (1 2 3 4 5 6) -- The boys look awesome, but because I'm biased I had to force myself to tear my eyes away from Yunho. xP Anyway, Changmin got a lot of screen time in this, and he was so cute throughout. Yunho was being adorable; I knew all along that he is actually a kid at heart. =) For the dancing part, I thought Yunho's was funny and cute, but Junsu's is too much for me to take. Like, the rolling hips thing, is so suggestive that I find it dangerous. lol.

Star Golden Bell ep 184 with Brian, Epik High (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) -- Brian is cutee to the max (and friendly too!); it was hilarious when the MC said that Julian Kang (one of the guests) said before, "Brian is so cute, I want to carry him on my shoulders", and he even elaborated by saying, "Brian is so short, he probably can't see anything in the middle of a crowd." hahahaha. And the small kid Dong Hyun said that a duck has a sexy behind (butt), but when asked said that Brian's is sexier, which led the MC to ask Brian to show it. LOL. (he actually has a nice body xDD) Epik High members are cute too. I think Mithra is adorable (he kinda failed at addition in the beginning lol) so I don't know why they were teasing him about his face. It was quite saddening to hear the nicknames Tablo has got because of his looks, but whatever, he's cute. I wish they'd show more of DJ Tukutz, though. The whole show is funny, by the way.

Star Golden Bell ep 186 with Dongwan (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) -- Same show as above^. Dongwan's smile seriously KILLS, okay. It was so funny when he gave out weird health suggestions after being called a "walking pharmacy". He's just so witty and humorous throughout; once he answered "Junjin" when asked who is sexy, lol. And he looks good; you totally can't tell that he's 28. SS501 was also there, and the leader, Kim Hyun Joong, is really good-looking. I've seen him quite a lot of times and every time I wanted to say that, but I forgot. yeah, he's cute. (I predict that I'm gonna go into another fandom soon.. shucks!) I like how some of the guests there said Dongwan's name as "Kim Dongwan sunbae-nim." ^^ And I've said this quite a lot of times, but Dongwan is a good actor. =) And and I LIKE DONG HYUN! He's so cute, guh. His favourite singer is Andy and he said Dongwan is "a kind person", plus he's smart and is a fan of Shinhwa. xD


Lastly, after Suju-K.R.Y, Suju-T and Suju-M, it's Suju-H!














It stands for Happy. (LSM, you're a genius, but what's up with the name? lol) Shindong's hair is explosive! I'm liking Yesung's haircut; it makes him look young. I never said this but Kangin reminds me of a teddy bear, 'cos he is adorable. =)


I'm still watching, but for now I'll stop here. Sorry if I sound dead, I'm just tired. haha.

I'll be awayy.

As you (whoever is reading this = myself. xDD) have known, I'll be taking part in Pre-U Seminar, which is a 5-days residential in NTU, from Monday to Friday next week. So obviously, I won't be blogging 'till next Friday/Saturday. Don't miss me! =D

But before that!

070508 Sang Sang Plus with Dongwan and Junjin (1 2 3 4 5 6) -- Solbi is one of the MCs, Lee Hyori too. (I've been watching We Got Married with Andy and Solbi, and they make a cute couple! Solbi is straightforward and cute. Andy is sooo nice, I wouldn't mind having a husband like him!) Dongwan's looking as good as ever. A few highlights for the Q&A part: the funny stories where the two of them almost laughed when singing 'cos a fan shouted "Oppa, you're tall!" to Dongwan (LOL at his "Please refrain from saying that I'm tall"; seriously I'm okay with 171 cm xD) and the fans were chanting Junjin's real name (Park Choong Jae), Hyori being Dongwan's ideal type (she said it herself lol), Junjin being called an "exhibitionist", Dongwan's "All of us in Shinhwa are players" (he said it on purpose), Junjin being a conservative boyfriend, Solbi saying that he would agree if Andy asked her out (after considering for a long long time), Dongwan and Hyori's unpleasant first meeting 12 years ago but now they wouldn't eliminate the possibility of dating each other if they were to for a blind date one more time (I think they'd make a cute couple, but she's slightly older than him lol), and Junjin beating Dongwan in arm-wrestling in 1 second (I knew Junjin would win haha). Next there was the "singing in English" segment where they were dressed kiddishly (Dongwan looks like a little kid with that face and that outfit, while Junjin looks like a clueless big kid hahaha), and it was just so HILARIOUS; there were funny "engrish" conversations, the 2 MCs "harmonizing" as Dongwan was singing the R&B version of a kid song (he sound soooo good, I love his voice like omg), Dongwan was so confident all the time even though he was wrong (he misheard "patty-cake" as "party cat", and "wrinkles" for "rainbow" LMAO), Hyori being accused as a mole even though she was right (she's the best out of them. I actually quite like her after this; she's very very pretty and quite humorous), and the funny dancing at the end. And of course, Dongwan's ADORABLE laugh, smile, whatever throughout. It's repetitive, I know, but still, he's just that cute. xDD

xP

David Cook was just crowned the American Idol. Congrats to him! =) I totally didn't follow this season's show, but I heard the two Davids (the final two were both David, lol) sang before (you know my brother is an avid fan of AI, right? haha) and I thought they sounded good. I saw the last moment of the finale just now, when they announced the winner and Cook were moved to tears. I think... I'm gonna watch the whole season online, just the two Davids' performances. 'Cos it's interesting (to me) how the two of them have the same first names, made it into the finals without ever being in the bottom three, but one is 25 while the other is 17. I think the age had something to do with the results too, actually, since Cook must have more experience than Archuleta. yeah, I'm gonna watch the performances. Soon. One day. lol. xD

blonotes.

by Tablo.

boooo.

Watch this. Like, fantards really need to disappear from the face of the earth. It's just a freakin' rumour, and even if Junsu and Taeyeon are really together, why not just wish them well? I know that I'd be happy if any of them has a girlfriend, 'cos it'd mean that they have a life. Heck, I wish Jay and the Shinhwa members will find the right women (they're at that age already xP), and DBSK will sooner or later will too. Whatever it is, be happy, guys! =)

About Jay, his blood vessels are showing signs of hardening, and it's apparently caused by build-up cholesterols. Exercise more and work less, Jay! (I'm being serious here) I nearly had a heart attack when I read the title of the article, so take good care of yourself, please =)

Moving on to happier things. Read a couple of reviews on the Hollywood Bowl; it sounds awesome. So many artists performed (DBSK 1 2 | FTTS | Minwoo 1 2 | Suju-T + Yesung), how I wish I was there! Yunho looked really really good, danced totally awesome, plus I really love his superr cocky expression when he danced, especially in Rising Sun. Jaejoong's been working out! Yoochun finally cut his blond highlights, lol. Changmin's hair is niceee. Junsu - the part where he knelt down during Purple Line was just hot. Fly to the Sky never disappoints, okay. Minwoo's performance was as usual, energetic and hot. But is that a big ribbon on his pants' ass? It sure looks like it LOL. xD













Yunho + Brian = happy me. xD

flyy.

Time for more videos! xD

Brian singing and dancing on Xman -- At first he sang Like A Man (one of my favourite songs FOR REAL); sounding awesome. Then Chae Yeon asked him to do a sexy dance. At first he looked like he wasn't willing even when he was walking to the center, but suddenly his facial expression changed 360 degrees into the YOU-KNOW-WHAT expression, shook his booties and hip and danced with the ladies, who looked pretty flustered. I bet their heartbeats were going DOKI DOKI lol. Actually, he IS sexy. xP I think he's either really very confident about his sexuality, very open-minded, or is aware that he's sexy. Or all three. xDD


FTTS on MusicCore Star Paparazzi -- This is sort of like hidden camera, and the target is Brian; to discover his 'secrets' while recording. In the beginning Hwanhee was recording and when he saw the camera he waved like a kid (cute!). Then Brian who didn't know that he was the target saw the camera later and he looked so excited and literally hopped over lol. Then he started imitating Hwanhee (again!) and Hwanhee heard and came out of the room to reprimand him. They started "bickering" and IT WAS CUTE. xD Then Brian started recording and I went o.0 when he took off his accessories, shoes and later shirt before he recorded. The screen was blacked out, though, so you can't see anything lol. Hwanhee revealed later that Brian never eats before recording or a performance. And then it was revealed that in 8 years of FTTS, they never recorded a song together 'cos it "feels weird". The cameraman asked them to record together and while at first they sounded fine (fsdfjskgh the harmonization kills!), in the middle they glanced at each other and burst out laughing LOL. So the answer is that they record without each other. -.-"


Brian speaking English on Love Letter -- I can't believe I didn't post this cut on the previous video post! It was before the wrestling game between Brian and Myung Hoon, and I forgot why but they started speaking in English. Brian's English is hot (he spoke gangsta-ish here lol), but as expected Myung Hoon's was such a failure. It was SO HILARIOUS.

Brian: You have no chance against me dawg
Chun Myung Hoon: Yeah I know
B: Why you trying to fight me for then?
CMH: Yeah Sure!
B: You have something to say against me?
CMH: Sure!
B: what?
CMH: Sure (couple sec. later) Yeah you want to die? huh?
B: You gonna kill me tonight?
CMH: Yeah
B: let's see this happen, let's do this
CMH: You sky Fly, You no fly, You down to the Sky. ok? You know what? You back to the sky ok? You down.

ROFLx1000000. xD


Lipsynching to My Angel at SBS Radio show -- Remember Dongwan lipsynching to Handkerchief? This is on the same show. Cute dorks. xD LMAO at Dongwan throwing toilet paper at the back! At one point Brian just pushed Hwanhee and climbed over him, lol. Then Hwanhee took revenge by pushing Brian away by the head, which was so hilarious 'cos Brian suddenly swung out of the camera. And next Brian decided to hit Hwanhee using both hands, looking like an ahjumma. xP And poor Hwanhee was singing to the wrong camera half the time 'cos Brian was being a cam-whore. haha.


Hwanhee fan video -- Some events where Hwanhee was feeling naughty lol. He was like a little kid who was bored and ended up doing random, CUTE stuff. A lot of times it's got to do with touching Brian unnecessarily. xDD


Brian cut on Heroine 6 -- How Brian won over Hyun Young (one of the Heroine 6 girls). Look out for him acting cute (which is actually cute xP), dancing, and singing (one song I don't know, maybe one of his solo songs and Like A Man 8D). Lots of funny moments too! What the heck is with him giving her a "I ♡ Brian" tag thing, lol. Lee Seung Gi (he's quite cute too hehe) and Kim Jong Min are there too! Some guy dressed funnily showed up while he was singing Like A Man. Brian still sang the song seriously, but sometimes he'd just not sing and let that guy sing while he himself sway around like an idiot and OMG HILARIOUS STUFF. The title of the video, "How to win a girl's heart Brian Joo style", is very fitting. xD

YDH Love Letter Performance + Interview 062907 -- At first they sang Tomorrow and 가지마, Hwanhee's and Brian's solo songs respectively. Apparently this was the debut of their 7th album. There was an interview in the middle; I always like it when they come to this show since they seem very comfortable with the host. :) They talked about Hwanhee's plastic surgery, Brian being a clean freak (lol that story is funny!), etc. Then they performed My Angel for the first time. One of the best My Angel performances, ever (and I've seen A LOT of them, trust me). They performed Sea of Love too. ^^

YDH Love Letter dance battle + talk 090508 -- The dance battle is hotttt. I love their facial expressions while "mocking each other", Hwanhee slapped Brian's butt twice (lol) and they danced well! In the middle Hwanhee dragged (literally) a fan up the stage to be "sandwiched" between them (lucky girl!), only to find out later that her leg was hurt and she needed crutches to walk. Which explains why she was limping the whole time. Poor her, 'cos it must have hurt, but she was lucky as well, so I guess it cancels out? xP Hwanhee looked so guilty and lost (cute!), they both apologised and Brian scolded Hwanhee a little (not that I understand 'cos there's no subs). lol.

shinies.

Say HELLO to my new wallpaper. *.*

















^ain't it gorgeous? The colour, I mean. And THEM TOO. xD

I just finished surfing 400+ pages of Fly to the Sky's Soompi thread, and I got some pictures (erm, just 400 actually, which is too little considering they've been in the industry for 9 years, I have to find more!). ^^ But before the pictures, let me say something about them (not musically -- that will come later, I'm working on it!).

Brian - he's a CRACK. xD I've spazzed about him a few times, and so you should know that he's really just such a humorous guy. He's very vocal and confident, which is why he's hosting a number of music shows now. He acts cute a lot in variety shows, but the thing is, it is freakin' cute when he does that. xP Looks-wise, I think he's not bad-looking, he's got a nice face structure, buffed body and very long eyelashes. And! he's a clean freak too. More than I am. xD

Hwanhee - he looks good even before the surgery, which is why a lot of times I feel like smacking him in the head for feeling insecure about his looks. But I must admit that now he looks even better, more manly and perfect. *.* He's so shy, it's cute. Sometimes when he doesn't smile he looks kinda pissed, but that's actually not the case. He's just quieter. But his smile seriously KILLS, okay. Even now, when he looks like a Caucasian ('cos of his super straight nose), his smile never changed and he still looks like a kid when he smiles. =D

Somehow I like the pictures where they're looking at each other and smiling, especially often Hwanhee would look away and smile in that very adorable way of his. xDD Smiling faces are always the best-looking, in my opinion. Anyway, it's ridiculous how there are always rumours of them being gays, since Brian is probably one of the straight-est celebrities I know (even though he acts gay sometimes, on purpose! xP) and Hwanhee is like a chick magnet. It's funny how some hosts purposely bring up this topic, since they will have such adorable reactions. That's why they hardly look at each other when they sing; to prevent misunderstandings. lol.

On to the pictures! These are cool and cute and some of them are LOL-worthy and blahblahblah and I should stop here. xP Click to enlarge! =D






























































































































^lalala you know what I wanna say. xD


I'll post individual pictures on their birthdays. ^^

17/02/06 [diary] Dongwan - The reason I have to quit smoking.

I have an irregular pulse.

It smells.

I have to pay money to get scaling and whitening.

The chance of going senile is higher.

Hands get colder.

Abilty to exercise gets lower.

I feel suffocated..

When I smoke I feel suffocated..

aaahhh~~ why do I smoke?

aaaaaaaaackkk!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
His reply on a comment on 17/02:

Dont say anything about how I always change my mind! please.. It drives me crazy too.ㅜㅜ
At this rate I'm going to turn into a fickle old lady.

I'm glad that now he really has quit smoking. I have to admit that I look down on smokers, but I realised that I didn't think about how hard it may be for them to quit. Well.. for all smokers out there who are trying to quit, fighting!! But if you aren't, I still do look down on you.

I shouldn't be here..

Dongwan's new album, The Secret, was released on the 8th, and the title track is 비밀 (Secret), featuring Tiffany in the narration. I haven't listened to the whole album yet (only listened to 3 so far, will listen to the whole thing soon!), but I'm starting to like this song. It's a new genre for Dongwan; kinda techno-ish. He sounds good as always. The LIVE performances are perfect too! (1 2) The production videos are adorable too (1 2 3); there's him fooling around as usual (with Junjin in the first one), being his ADORABLE self, and working hard! Maybe that's why he looks like he lost even more weight. Rest well, Dongwan! D:

Click! for the MV. He cut his fringe short this time, looking reallyyy good and the haircut makes him look younger. ^^ I really will watch his dramas (one, at the very least) one day 'cos his acting, as has been proven again and again, is very good. His facial expression! Anyway, in one scene, it showed Dongwan with a cigarette on the table beside him, but I know that he quit some time ago. He's the most health-conscious out of the members, and I remember reading one of his diary entries that once Eric went into a refrigerator to smoke because Dongwan said he hates the smell of cigarette (lol!). Seriously the members who still smoke (which is like, everyone? but I don't know whether Andy smokes) should learn from Dongwan. -.-

One day I'll post pictures taken by Dongwan himself. He likes to take pictures of scenery and such and honestly, they're so beautiful! =))


random extracts from Shinhwa 10th Anniversary site production notes:

The member that you've really wanted to apologize to for the past 10 years
ERIC - Hyesungie. Don't ask me for the reason, it spoils the mood
HYESUNG - Eric

[LOL I WANNA KNOW WHY. xDD]


What message would you write on each other's copy of the 10th anniversary album?

ERIC
Dongwan - Look at Minwoo's copy
Minwoo - Look at Junjin's copy
Junjin - Look at Andy's copy
Andy - Look at Hyesung's copy
Hyesung - Look at Dongwan's copy

[erm.. Eric is as weird as ever. xP]

MINWOO
Eric - Sa
Dongwan - Rang
Hyesung - Hae
Junjin - Chong
Andy - Mal

[means "I really love you" or something along that line ^^]

DONGWAN
I want to write each of them a very long letter.
And give it to them 10 years later...
(The contents are secret.)

HYESUNG
Junjin - Saranghae
Dongwan - Saranghae
Minwoo - Saranghae
Andy - Saranghae
Eric - 2008.5.9

[ROFL again, Ricsyung rule! xDD]

JUNJIN
Hyesung - You have to become a true little prince...ㅎ
Eric - Don't always stay in the 4th dimension, come back to reality~ㅋ
Dongwan - If I need to go to the hospital, I will ask hyung first.. ^^
Minwoo - When are you writing me a song?? -.-
Andy - Let's not cry when the hyungs go to the army, we'll go and play...

ANDY

Making-of video of Minwoo's If You (old!) -- He seemed so bored, tired and lonely without the members here (he was the only member who went solo at that time). But the whole video is CUTE; he made fun of his own small eyes, etc. I love his laugh. =) And here's the real MV, if you haven't watched it already. The song is sweet and the MV is CUTEx1000000. LIKE, FOR REAL. xDD


080329 MBC Manwon Happiness Ga In Ep. Mindy Cut -- Andy is SO GOOD at that guessing game! Minwoo's part was funny (poor Andy getting told to back off 'cos the one the girl was looking for was Minwoo). The thing used to transfer solutions in science experiments = spoon? sponge? ROFL. Apparently Minwoo isn't very good in science. xP Minwoo then told the PD to give them another chance, otherwise his expression would turn scary. His 'scary' expression totally got me LMAO-ing, though. Dork. xD


We Got Married Ep 7 - Shinhwa cut -- In this show, Andy is "married" to Solbi (a female celebrity), they live together and show how their "married life" would be. They are cute as a couple. ^^ It's been pretty popular and I'm suspecting that she really likes him (she's a fan of Eric too), haha. But anyway, Shinhwa was on this episode, and it was during their 10th Anniversary day. Solbi came to the press conference site and bring food; it's cute how the members called her "sister-in-law" and Dongwan even hugged her at one point (he kept cracking lame jokes and was being so hyper, too adorable omg)! Andy and Solbi were very comfortable and natural with each other, that the members got jealous. Then they asked him to kiss her since she made food for all of them (Minwoo did a demonstration by kissing Hyesung on the cheek xD), and he really did, twice (under the members' bugging)! The members' reactions are funny and adorable! =D In the end Minwoo got Solbi to bite a strawberry which Andy was holding with his mouth, and asked her to "do it as far as you love him". Then Dongwan pushed her and they kissed on the lips LOLOL. All the members took the picture and their mouth fell open, haha. Naughty Dongwan! xP


Last but not least, an extract from Dongwan's diary entry from last year:

p.s. yesterday Oh! Person I Love most funniest line
“Like me, don’t even need to eat and can still grow tall, don’t even need to study and can still become smart.”

don’t even need to eat and can still grow tall.... don’t even need to eat and can still grow tall
don’t even need to eat and can still grow tall
don’t even need to eat and can still grow tall


Me, who ate properly and still didn’t grow tall ...-___-;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

HAHAHA DONGWAN <333

DBSK+SNSD Haptic CFs!

I haven't posted anything on DBSK lately that you must think that I've gotten off their fandom, haha. But actually I've been scanning Soompi for new pictures and stuff. Just minimally, though, 'cos I don't have the time to read everything. =( But anyway! They did Samsung Haptic commercials with 4 of SNSD (female version of Suju, consists of 9 members, also in SM). Tiffany with Yunho and Jaeoong (hey she got two of them and now she's featured in the title song off Dongwan's new album - lucky girl!), Yoochun with Yoona, Changmin with Jessica, and Junsu isn't paired up. The girls are pretty. ^^ It was HILARIOUS how the fandom reacted to the pictures that came out initially. I'm not a fantard! :D By the way, these CFs are adorable. And the phone looks good. 8D Why don't they sell Anycall in Singapore?

Let's Haptic -- The boys (minus Junsu) were in a lift with Tiffany, Jessica and Yoona. Yunho's PRETTY here (in a good way). *.* Then the lift shook and you can see the boys hugging each other (Homin and Jaechun!). The lift then blacked out, and then Yunho took out his Haptic and they started playing with it. It was quite freaky how Changmin said "Something that is better than Jun Ji Hyun. Because you can touch it~" and Yunho and him started making "caressing" gestures. Then Yoochun said "Touch it. The body line~" (Jaejoong was hugging Changmin haha). I think if I were one of the girls I'd be quite scared, lol. Yunho hugged Tiffany! The last part in Junsu singing and sashaying to the lift, and when the door opened he was shocked to see the pairs and ran to tell the manager. haha! =D

Haptic Battle -- Yunho and Jaejoong fighting for Tiffany's attention. Yunho almost kissed Tiffany! xDD (imagine how the fans would react if it really happened haha) Jaejoong was acting like a dork, and Yunho danced 'cos she said he looked good when he danced (which is totally true xP), but he was too into his dancing to notice her leaving with Jaejoong. Poor him! Then Junsu walked in while he was still dancing and Yunho walked away embarrassed. xD I'm repeating this, but I still have to say that Yunho looks prettyyyy. His outfit+hair+long torso+slim body=pretty! xD

Haptic Scandal -- Yunho is acting like a jealous and self-absorbed freak here (why do they portray him that way?), but he's adorable. Tiffany ditched him for Jaejoong though. Yoochun+Yoona are sweet together! Somehow I burst into laughter every time I see Yoochun saying "..my heart vibrates too.." at 02:21. So funny and cute! xP Changmin+Jessica are kinda cute too. ^^ But my favourite part is the last part, where Jaejoong+Tiffany, Yoochun+Yoona and Changmin+Jessica plus Yunho (alone) and Junsu (he was holding a candy floss xD) walk from different directions and Junsu saw the pairs and went ballistic. I love how he threw his umbrella, shouted "You guys WOAHH came in sets!", whipped out his Haptic, took pictures and threatened to upload them. I keep LOL-ing when I watch this part. Isn't Junsu the most ADORABLE thing ever? xDD


Anyway, their Japan "T" tour just ended (they are gonna hold a concert in Taiwan today), and I hope to see the DVD version of it soon! I think the concert this time is a lot bigger, more audience and some of the costumes more... elaborate. They look weird, though. xP But the thing that has been bugging me is this fancam; it's of Yoosumin doing the 1 2 3 4 5 6 counting (all of them do it during the tour), where 1 2 4 5 are said in a normal way while the 3 and 6 are said in the "sexy" way. In the fancam, it was Yoosumin counting together, and they sorta touched each other (uhm, more like grope) at 6. I know it's fan-service and the fans may love it, but I find it kinda disturbing, really. I mean, I'm a big fan, and I can feel a bit disturbed, so what about people who don't know them at all and see this picture? o.0 Thankfully they didn't let Yunjae do this, or imagine the explosion of the Yunjae fandom. Or at least they included Changmin with Yoosu. =X


And! I said that Yunho looks pretty, but YAY HE GOT A HAIRCUT!! :DDD Too bad it's after the concert (the DVD will have him with the super long ponytail D:), but at least finally he got his hair cut! (and he looks super fine!) WELCOME BACK MANLY YUNHO! xDDD


















And and and! here's a fancam of half of Kissしたまま,さよなら LIVE. OMG they sound soooo GOOD. Junsu sounded so emotional at one point, and at that time he looked like he was about to cry. I love how they darkened the stage and focused the lights on Jaejoong for his "Sayonara". ^^

NOT just oldies. =)

Fly to the Sky's new album - Recollection! This is a remake of songs from the 90s. I never heard these songs before (except for maybe one), but they sang them very well, I must say. It's a LOVELY album 'cos EVERY track is rated 5 stars. (One more album on my TO-BUY list!) I'll say this just once: I don't have a favourite 'cos I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SONG IN THIS ALBUM. xDD I thought Brian has changed his way of singing, in a way. While his voice has always been smooth, nice and everything, at times he comes across as trying too hard to make his voice sound more powerful. But in this album, he sounds completely NATURAL and it's just awesome. Now you can really hear how melodious his voice is. =D Hwanhee is always technically good and he sounds great as usual. I was actually grinning non-stop today 'cos they just sound SO GOOD. ^^












^doesn't the cover look classy? xP

1. 행복을 주는 사람 (Haeng Bogeul Jooneun Saram)
Quite an upbeat song. I said this before, but I really love how their voices complement each other's. In this song, Brian sings the lower pitch while Hwanhee sings the higher. Individually they sound great, but together sdkfjskgjh NICE. ^^

2. 취중진담 (Chwijoongjindam)
The first single for this album. It's an almost-acapella song, and you can hear their voices very clearly. I love how the band suddenly starts playing 3/4 through the song. The song itself is simple but sweet-sounding. Here's the MV, the boys look great in white and Brian got a kissing scene! xD

3. 마지막 사랑 (Majimak Sarang)
A ballad; the song kinda builds up momentum from the beginning to the chorus. You can hear in this song that Brian sounds natural and powerful at the same time. And Hwanhee's vibrato for the last note is nice!

4. 회상 (Whesang)
The background music is cute. And I find the way Brian sings the first verse cute too. haha.

5. 이밤의 끝을 잡고 (Ibameh Kkeucheul Jabgo)
This song sounds kinda familiar, but I just can't put my hands on when I heard it before. Hwanhee's voice near the end sounds quite rough, it's nice somehow. His high note! 8D

6. 달팽이 (Dalpengi)
I'm positive I heard someone sing this song before. But I can't remember who! (I think it's one of the Suju guys though.. Kyuhyun, if I'm not wrong.) Anyway, this song has got a nice tune; very relaxing.

7. 세상끝에서의 시작 (At The Start) (Brian Solo)
This song is SUPER CATCHY!

8. 소원 (Sowon) (Hwanhee Solo)
In my opinion, this is the right song choice for Hwanhee. It's not too big (not that he can't handle big songs, but his voice already sounds big enough) and the tune is nice. Hwanhee's voice sounds so good here OMG.

9. 내 눈물 모아 (My Tears Together)
I can't express why I like this song. There seems to be nothing special about it, yet I think Brian and Hwanhee are able to bring out the emotions of this song perfectly and GOSH THEY SOUND AWESOME. I actually found myself wishing that I knew the lyrics to it by the time I heard the second chorus the first time I heard the song. That's how good it is. =)

10. 한장의 추억 (Hanjang eh Choouk)
A very soft, mellow song. Their falsettos are beautiful!


I'm currently hunting for their videos, but 'cos I got into the fandom so late (smack self in the head), a lot of them are already removed. And there are so little of their videos out there now! T.T

[Chorus]
Oh! (Even if I can't have you)
Even if it’s only in my mind
(Even if I can't touch you)
Even if it’s only a meaningless dream
(Even if I can't talk to you)
Even if I hide and watch from far away
(You know I do)
I love you
(Even if you don't know who I am)

Oh baby don't you know, you don't even know my name
I spend my sleepless nights gazing at you
Oh so beautiful, your solo picture clutched in my hand
The heartbreak of my crazy love buried in the cheers of the world
You’re not even listening, you wouldn’t even know if I died
Even in your next life you will live without knowing who I am
I want you so bad and it’s too late to turn back
Even tonight I want to kiss you so I clutch my pillow tight

Today is our first meeting right?
Only you have this sort of dialogue
Again today I talk to your retreating figure
It’s always the same thing but still I give a nervous hello
Even though the whole world’s stops listening, I only need you to hear me
The further you are the hardened my heart becomes, please listen to me
Farther, and farther, fortune works wherever
Will I be able to see you? (Tell me)

[Chorus]

Darling, why are you not smiling today?
It would be nice if it was not a big problem
I couldn’t look at your face filled with anxiety
It would be better if I was in pain but the impossibility of that brings regret
Hold me, the one who could respond to your question of “how are you?”
Can’t come close, can’t touch, you’re the one I can’t hold
I’m going to go meet you tonight in my dreams

Even if in my dreams everyone ridicules my love
Even though everyone says I am crazy and the entire world disappears
Babe you belong to me, but why are the worthless multitudes talking you away?
No, there is no way. I’ll make you see only me
I’ll give you everything, I’ll make your lips meet mine, I’ll go get the world and give it to you
I’ll make it so you can never leave me, I’ll keep you in my sunken heart
You are My star, I’m your no.1 fan
Baby please, take my hand

[Chorus]

Boys and Girls in a crazy love say oh! oh! oh!
Boys and Girls in a stupid love say oh! oh! oh!
Boys and Girls in a meaningless love say oh! oh! oh!
Boys and Girls in a love like mine say oh! oh! oh!

Even if you don't know who I am!!

I like this song! The lyrics. HA.HA.HA. All those delusional fans should totally watch this MV. Creepy. *shudders*

I'll do a music post on Epik High one day. Crap, I have 3 music posts in draft. =X

SJ-M in 越策越开心!

I'm very slow, I know. It's like, now then I watch? But whatever. I'm happy that I understand Chinese, anyway. xD

080419
part 1 -- They performed U! Hankyung is charismatic as hell, like OMG. 8D Then it was the introductions; I love how leaderly and mature Hankyung seems in China. (I actually watched a 10-parts-long interview of him in China some time ago; I think that was before he became one of my favourite members) He is the leader of SJ-M, and I guess it's obvious 'cos he's the oldest among them. He talked about how he lots 4-5 kg during the preparation for the album, I guess they all worked really hard. 加油!

part 2 -- More talking. I think their Korean-accented Chinese are cute, haha. Ryeowook said "我很帅 (wo3 hen2 shuai2)" when the MC asked him about his hairstyle change, lol. Henry was sooo cute when he was practicing for his "Changsha dialect"! Next it was the solo performances. First Donghae danced to Juntin Timberlake's My Love; it was cool! (This song is pretty popular among Koreans for dancing, I think; here's Brian and Hyebin's performance for the same song! Brian was hotttt, Hyebin was sexy! even though I'm a girl lol. xD) Next it was Henry's performance.

part 3 -- Continued Henry's violin and dance performance - it was so good and he's so talented! Then more talking. The MC asked about whether the members asked Hankyung to teach them Chinese, and he said that Donghae asked him the most (Donghae was busy nodding at the side lol), but Siwon learned before so he's now too lazy to ask haha. Next there was a Chinese PK. Hankyung and Zhou Mi became the judges, so they were supposed to sit at the side. But then Zhou Mi let Hankyung sit first and then sat on him, and the next thing you know everyone sat on each other. lol. During the PK, Siwon looked cocky (he's good!), Donghae seemed like he was really trying hard (cute accent!), and Henry kinda sounded like any normal Singaporean's. In the end, Zhou Mi, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun got the punishment to sing. haha.

part 4 -- For the "punishment", they sang acapella of 爱我还是他. The harmonization is good, but I can't really hear the real melody of the song. Next they had to read some words in the "Changsha dialect" and Siwon's COCKY expression is back. haha. Donghae and Kyuhyun were picked to have a conversation in that dialect, and lol both of them were cute!

part 5 -- Preview for the following week episode.


080426
part 1 -- They performed 至少还有你. I think the real song was playing in the background, that's why it sounded doubled. But it still sounded okay. Zhou Mi sings well. =)

part 2 -- Continuation of the dialect conversation! It's Siwon and Ryeowook, and the latter was so cute when he pronounced wrongly lol. Then it was Hankyung's "筷子舞". All charms turned on! haha. Next is the "爆料" segment. (scroll down for more!) The question was "谁最爱耍帅?". At first Kyuhyun was like peeking at Siwon's answer board and then laughed cutely. xD Siwon got full votes, anyway. Hankyung and Kyuhyun imitated how Siwon walked while 耍帅-ing, lol.

part 3 -- scroll down!

part 4 -- The question is: 谁最想结婚? I expected it to be Hankyung since he's the oldest (and he voted for himself too!), but unexpectedly him and Donghae got the same number of votes. Donghae also admitted it himself, haha. Anyway, at first when Donghae showed his board there was Hankyung's name tag on it; he stole it earlier lol. They asked what kind of girl Donghae likes, and he said he likes cute girls with big eyes (doesn't everyone? xP). Hankyung said he wants a kind-hearted girl who can take care of his parents and understand him, and would like to get married after 2-3 years of dating her. =) Then Hankyung Siwon and Kyuhyun sang 月亮代表我的心, Ryeowook sang Kiss Goodbye (slightly too powerfully but good nonetheless), Zhou Mi sang Forever Love (his voice is nice), Henry Donghae and Siwon sang 两只老虎, Kyuhyun sang I Believe (HELLO WONDERFUL VOICE *.*), and Hankyung sang 我愿意 (the fans cried and sang it to him too; I think he was touched and happy also that his hard work paid off, so he cried).

part 5 -- Focused on Hankyung; about how he had waited 5 years for SJ-M. It's sad to see him cry. That's why those immature freaks should burn in hell for bashing SJ-M that he worked so hard for! Then they talked about him being one of the torch-bearers for the upcoming Olympics (I voted for him too okay! xD), and then they asked Siwon to demonstrate how to run with the torch while 耍帅-ing. lol. Last there were some cut scenes and Donghae rapping. =)


A few cuts [in much better quality]:

from 080426 part 2:
What do you like about Hunan? -- Siwon said he ate 80 small lobsters, and Hankyung ate 60. o.0 Henry said "Changsha's fans" in a very cute way (haha!). Siwon was adding random comments; Hankyung talked about how annoying Siwon's talkativeness was, and Siwon was like (to Hankyung), "你也差不多!", lol so cute. At first the MC said that he couldn't tell that Siwon is talkative, but then throughout Siwon kept talking so the MC said "你很爱说话", then Siwon asked "你怎么知道", and the MC replied "我看出来了", and Siwon said "你最棒!". HAHA. His Chinese is good!


from 080426 part 3:
Who doesn't like to bathe? -- They all said Henry! Kyuhyun was cute when he said, "Henry~!~" . And you can only catch a glimpse of Siwon's handwriting, but it's so nice!

Who cries the most? -- Seems like it's obvious to them that it's Ryeowook. The MC said to Donghae that a lot of fans said that he himself cries a lot, and he was like, "眼睛很帅 (yan4 jing3 hen3 shuai2)" lol no link! xD Anyway, Ryeowook said that he cries a lot 'cos the members moved him, like he almost cried when watching Henry's violin performance 'cos it was so cool. ^^

Who does aegyo the most? -- The question is "谁最爱撒娇娇?", and the MC got Siwon to repeat the question. At first he was like, "shui jiao ai zao *mumblemumble*", but after that the MC taught him word by word and he said the "娇娇" so cutely haha. And he knew it too, 'cos after that the crowd cheered and he smiled really brightly sfkglds. The answer is Zhou Mi, and Hankyung imitated his aegyo. SO CUTE hahaha! Zhou Mi's answer is Donghae, and Henry's expression when Zhou Mi was imitating Donghae was cutee!

Who likes to look at pretty girls? -- The answer is Hankyung! But looking at pretty girls for a guy is pretty normal. The point is SIWON WAS SO HYPER AND FUNNY. I don't remember him ever being this hyper before. He must be on crack lol. In the beginning when the MCs first asked the question, he was like, "HANKYUNGG~ 你怎么办?!" LMAOO SO CUTE. (Henry was busy lol-ing too) To which Hankyung got up and slammed his board down, lol. Siwon's handwriting is so good, even in Chinese. It's better than mine. o.0 And by the way, I love Sihan. (and many other pairings) xDD


Done! That was long... I'll listen to their album one day! One day..
