B.A.P - Rain Sounds MV Review

B.A.P has been promoting song after song for a year. Song after song I have loved it from Warrior to Stop It. When I it was announced that They will release another song in 2013 I was shocked. I think that they need to rest. But when the trailer came out I was surprised with the concept change. In Stop It was more of a cute concept and in Rain Sound it went to the more softer yet more emotional concept.

Trailer:

So after the trailer I was looking forward to were of course the whole song, in the teaser it was just listening to the guitar, and of course I couldn't wait for the whole MV. In the trailer each member was in such a emotional scene, like Himchan and Zelo were crying, By just watching that I was already like "I need the whole MV"

Full MV:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ghpiNIKGIo&w=560&h=315]

First of all it was showing solo scenes of the members until it goes to Bang Young Guk and he start to slow rap. When he raps it keep showing scenes of the members, each in a different room with different props. After Jogup singes. I am really happy that he gets more lines than their previous songs. While the song progresses each member shows all kind of sadness in different ways. Bang Young Guk being frustrated where he started throwing a chair. We also see a beaker with green liquid falls down and break and right next to it there is a black rose that zelo drops. Himchan burning a skull. Also with the special effects we see what fell down got re winded back.

Also for the group scenes showing the choreograph. The dance fits very well with the songs, since the song isn't a fast pace song, the dance syncs very well with it. At some point the whole background is white and all the memebers are wearing white. and then we see that they get hit with green paints and get shot.

"Dear Sky, please help me. Please stop the rain. So that I can forget her, oh no."

By listening to these lines and watching what is happening, its as if when they are getting shot that they are trying to put down their past. That is also when they show the members crying.

Click here for Allkpop's thoughts on the outfits. As I don't have much to say about their clothing. I did like that they didn't go for something to drastic and all went with something that both fit the member and the mv.

Super Junior M - Break Down Mv Review

After a year Super Junior M is back with a new album titled Break Down. When I read that they will have a comeback and saw the teaser I was first of all, the song isn't a very fast beat but the choreograph of it looks awesome BUT just like other SJ/SM videos ITS IN A LIT ROOM. Yes I wrote that in capital. Why are SJ always in a lit room? In the teaser there were 3 different rooms, one is the extremely lit one and 2 darker ones, even their solo shots are in rooms -_- Why can't SM come up with better MV ideas?

So I decided to wait for the full MV before making a conclusion about it.

So when the MV came out I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. It starts of in a lit room, and the first person who starts the songs is Henry. I was actually very excited to hear the whole song of it. I really like the outfits in the whole MV excepts for the solo shots with the bright it room, I mean what the hell is that on Siwon's head, and what is Eunhyuk wearing, what is with the random furs? I realised that a lot of SM artist MV contains fur. I mean seriously its really not needed, also a lot of kpop artist started to wear colour lensen. I really dont mind it on the girls but the guys?

I really wonder what is going in the head of the SM stylists. Siwon with colour lenses and the thing on the head looks like a bird nest -_-

I mean I can be like "omg the whole mv is amazing", but the more I listen/watch the mv I like the song more and I love the dance of it but the clothing.

I really don't have much to say about the mv since the whole mv is SJ M dancing in rooms.

Big Bang Alive Tour London 15/12/2012

So Big Bang was holding a World Tour and happen to have a stop in London at Wembley Arena. When I heard in the beginning of the year that they will come to Europe I have been saving money to see them. I was very happy when the tickets finally went into sale. After some trouble because of the site being down, I got tickets. I was so happy that the smile on face would just not disappear. Since I don't live in UK I had to look for hotel and plane tickets.  Me and my friends were searching and searching and finally 2 weeks before the concert we got everything settled. We got our plane tickets we have a hotel to stay that is close to Wembley arena.

On the 15th December I had to wake up at 5am to go to the airport since I had an early flight to Luton Airport. When we arrived we went to get the train to king cross and from there we went to Oxford street to have some food and do a bit of shopping since we couldn't check in until 2pm.

   Pic 1 is at the Amsterdam Airport, boarding the plane. Pic 2 is oxfordstreet.

After eating and shopping, and of course you can't leave out buying stuff. Since I had a wedding to attend a few days later after the concert and I didn't have a outfit so I was very happy that I end buying an outfit at New Look. Since my

After it was about time we went to take the underground to Wembley park. Me and my friends actually took the wrong exit and instead of heading straight to the hotel we end up walking by Wembley Arena and when we were walking that way, we saw people with Big Bang merchandise and we were wondering where they get it from. As we were walking we saw Wembley Arena and we saw the merchandise stands. So to make sure that we are allowed to buy it I went to ask the security guy. The guy was totalling playing around as he was saying that it was Psy who is performing and not Big Bang but at the end he say that were allowed so we went into the queue. I then bought the Big Bang basic Light stick ( £20), a t-shirt (£15), stickers (£5) and the hooded sweater (£55) I also bought some stuff for my friend who was unable to come to the concert and for my little brother. After that we headed to the hotel which was les than 5 minutes away.

     Picture 1 & 2 is the Wembley Arena view from the station. picture 3 is the outside of the hotel. I would recommend it because the rooms were really clean and the price was now expensive at all. So if you are going to a concert at the Wembley Arena and you are looking for a cheap hotel I would recommend Wembley Quality Hotel.

At the concert we checked in and did some changing into our merchandise clothes and went to have some food. around 5pm we went to the Arena to start queueing. It wasn't very cold in the beginning. When we were queueing we suddenly saw a limo so we went to see who it was and everyone was going crazy  but once the people (teenagers) came out of the limo everyone was booing it. It was not funny joke -_- so went back to the queue. At some point we were bored but the girls standing in front of use were laying Big Bang songs so at some point were talking and enjoying in cold. When it was 6pm the doors opened and we went inside (finally ^_^) So when we got inside and the people showed our seat we went around and took pictures.

                      Picture 1 are the light sticks we got, picture 2 is the limo prank.oicturs 3-10 is how it looks like inside before the concert starts look like, they were playing Big Bang MV's. Picture 6 is me and my friends in front of the Big Bang poster inside the arena. picture 11 & 12 Concert starts.

Girls Generation - I Got a Boy MV Review

Teaser:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCANfl4iao8&w=560&h=315]

So after I finished watching the teaser, my thoughts were. So they are not going for the cute/sexy concept and I really liked the beat. I was excited to see what SNSD had in store for the Sones. But the more I watched the teaser the more confused I was. first of all. What is with the outfits, what is their actual concept. So to answer my own questions I decided to wait for the full MV and see if it will answer my questions.

full mv:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq7ftOZBy0E&w=560&h=315]

So the mv started of with SNSD in a pink room being all cute and then a guy rings the bell. It then changes in to lit room (that is pink) and we see all of them in clothes that would be considered hip hop clothes?? I don't know what the name of the style is. But any ways we see them trying to be all cool (sunny with her bright purple hair) I really loved their clothing here though. The beginning part sound that it will fit very well with the part we heard in the teaser. and then after that it goes into the song with a different background (we all know its a studio) that looks like the streets. They are all wearing a different outfits. I loved some and don't like some.

in between the song/dance they were showing solo shots of SNSD being on a date with a guy. Showing them being all cute again. and that goes on until around 2:05 where they go into the chorus. The beat totally changes. That is where it start the I get confused. It sounds as if its a whole new songs starting from there.

In the chorus part (which is the beat that we hear in the teaser) it shows them doing a dance that doesn't really fit into the whole choreograph. The outfits doesn't make sense to me either. Yoona and Hyoyeon starst to rap afterwards. Its nice to show a different skill they never really showed before.

After all the whole MV/songs doesn't go very smooth. Also the concept is still a question to me. Looking at the outfits, dance and song. The concept is still not clear. Here is a style breakdown written by allkpop. and I pretty much have the same thoughts (click here)
