ZE:A5 - She's Gone PV Review

ZE:A5 subunit of ZE:A released their first pv. Honestly I really like ZE:A only the problem is I still don't know who is who -_-" except I know Kevin and Dongjun.

Teaser of She's Gone:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Wn7pEiuvE&w=560&h=315]

I really like what I heard in the teaser, you could say I fell in love with the vocals. It sounded very sweet and the vocals were very smooth.

Full MV of She's Gone:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie4FBrDYw5I&w=560&h=315]

The MV is more of the making of the showing the members funny side. All members suite up for the MV make them all super handsome. It also show the serious acting they try for the MV.

Honestly I don't have much to say since as mentioned before this mv is more of a behind the scene. -_-"

BoA - Disturbance MV Review

The queen of kpop is back with a new MV/song (yes Boa is queen of kpop to me, please don't hate me ^_^") ANYMWAYS so when I read that she is going to release a new MV starring Taemin of SHINee I was like it going to be a cute love story MV. So she didn't release a trailer or whatever except that she was going to release it. So I waited patiently for the full MV.

Full MV:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac4e7PRl_Ec&w=560&h=315]

First thing first that I was so happy about was that this was not filmed in a lit room (YAY) even though we all know that some of the rooms is just build in a studio but it does give off a feel that its real.

Once it started you can tell that its a song that BoA is showing her vocals this time and not the her dancing skills like in Only One. With the soft piano at the back we see Taemin dressed in simple clothes and sitting alone deep in thoughts while reaching for a pair of rings that are on the table and turning the hourglass and walks away.

The scene turns to Taemin wanting to leave the house and not wanting to leave, he at the end chose not the leave. He goes back inside while taking his coat off he sees BoA. BoA dressed in a shirt with matching shorts and a white vest over it and a black and white wedge shoes, starts singing. It the goes to a single shot of BoA in a different outfit, she is then seen wearing a black dress with white flower printings, cross necklace, black leggings and some brown high heels. (she wears too many different outfits -_-")

In the mv the scenes switches from single shots to her and Taemin laughing and having fun to Taemin and her being sad. With BoA's vocals makes it fit very well. As the song gives off a R&B feel to it. With the outfits choices it was all simple and she tops it off with some accessories to make it her style.

As the song progressed it stays in a steady tempo making the song sound very smooth, and while watching the MV you can feel the emotions in the song very well. (Also if I didn't remembered wrong she wrote the song herself) which also showcased her composing skills. Just like Only One this is a kind of song that isn't powerful yet catchy. I can listen to it the whole day and still not feel bored of it.

There is also 2 different ending that the fans can choose. The first ending is "let time go by" it shows Taemin looking at the hourglass and he thinks back to the happy memories he had with BoA, while BoA is standing outside and also thinking about the happy memories she had with Taemin. The 2nd ending is basically the beginning of the MV when Taemin turn the hourglass around only this time he goes out the house to meet up with BoA and both seen smiling.

1st ending:

2nd ending:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_JMfjPI8YU&w=560&h=315]

There aren't any flaws that I can point out so far.



"Let time go by, Go Back to the past"

Here are the BTS:

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:

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

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?

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

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

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Nz8t3vNo8&w=560&h=315]

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)

Do you have different thoughts? comment below and let me know ^_^

Please do not write hateful comments, all that has been written is my thoughts.

I wish everyone a wonderful and healthy 2013 and may all their wishes come true and achieve their goals and dreams.

I actually don't have any resolutions for the new year, the main thing that I want is to stay healthy of course and wanting a bf wish is never left out ^_^"

That would be for now. Hope to see everyone in 2013 (it actually already is ^_^")

(I got in total of 1558 views in 2012, I hope I can pass that this year ^_^)

Top moments I had in 2012:

• Going to A(エース), An Cafe and Big Bang concert. Having seen 2 of my top Visual Kei bands here in the Netherlands was a dream come true. And ofcourse seeing Big Bang was a big dream come true. Having been into kpop for about 5/6 years and Big Bang was one of the few bands I started listening and having fallen in love with their music straight away and hoping to see them live some day. After 5/6 years and they are finally coming to Europe to the UK, and me finally able to see them live. (for my experience click here)

• Finally meeting Nyny ^_^ (She also have an amazing blog, go and check it out by clicking here) after being in contact with her for some time I was finally able to meet her. Time was short but it was really nice ^_^ hope that next time will be longer ^_^

• My school year finally went well. After having changing school a few times, I have finally found the school with the right course that suits me the best.

• I had an amazing internship. Its always hard to find an internship were you love working/learning and that your co workers and leaders are nice. I was very lucky to find one that I enjoyed and that everyone was nice working with. My leader was very flexible in working and all my co workers didn't want me to leave when I was done with my internship.

• Went to animecon again in HK in the summer. in 2011 I went to animecon in HK and I had a lot of fun bought a lot made a lot of pictures, so when my parents decided to go got HK again in 2012 to see my grandma I decided to go again, but it was a bit of disappointment here were less stuff to buy, less stands but there were more cosplayers.

Hopes I have for 2013:

• Dynasty Warriors 8, Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning's Return and GTA5 these 3 games I have been waiting since 2012. As a person who loves gaming GTA5 can not be left out. Every gamer out there is waiting the release of this game. I will be released in the 2nd Quarter of the year (presumed in May) I do hope that it will not be pushed forward again. Also being a huge DW and  FF  fan, those 2 games cannot be left out of my list. Having played all the previous DW games, the new one is a must have for my collection. Having seen that there will be new character available and new play modes. The game will be released in Japan in February for Europe is still unknown. Last but not least FF Having played XIII and XIII-2, Lighting's Return is also a must have for me. Curious how the story will end and what will happen to Lightning. In the press conference it mentioned that it will be release in 2013 but nothing else is mentioned. I am hoping that it will come around summer or at least not like Final Fantasy Versus that has never been released.

• Big comebacks in kpop. SNSD had their comeback with I got a Boy. I was expecting something big from them as they are one of the leading Hallyu waves artist, but I was very disappointed when I saw the actual MV and song (for the review click here). I do hope that some other kpop artist will have some good comebacks. in 2012 there weren't many comebacks that were good or any good debut songs. I am not expecting Big Bang to have a comeback though, because they just have world tour for a year, flying back and forth. I do let them a some time off and rest though. They do deserve it.

• More exciting Kdramas. First of all I cannot wait till IRIS2 premiers. I am going to watch not only because Doojoon (B2ST) & Lee Joon (MBLAQ) are acting in it, but because having watched Iris 1 & Athena, this drama has made into a number 1 must watch. As I love action movies/tv dramas I don'd mind romantic stuff (chickflicks) but the drama really needs a plot. I watch quite some tvdramas last year (kdrama, jdrana,twdrama,cdrama) and alot of them doesn't catch me. I just recently finished watching Fashion King, it took me 3 months to finish that because the plot just doesn't catch me. So I hope that this year(2013) there will be more good tvdramas.

Must do in 2013:

• Meeting more Korean/kpop lovers. It would be nice to meet more people with the same interest. I love meeting new people so that would be great ^_^ also meeting Koreans would be nice, they can help me to improve my Korean.

• learning Korean (again). At least to do some Korean study twice a week. I really want to study Korean again and improving it would be nice. So far I can only say words. I want to at least able to read and understand Korean ^_^

• updating my blog more. I am planning to write more reviews on mv/pv/tv shows/drama (chinese, korean, japanese) etc.
