Manic Panic & La Riche Direction hair dye Review

After much thinking and trying to see which one would be better Manic Panic or La Riche Direction, I choose both. As I was planning to dye 2 different hair colours I chose a colour of both brand. So for manic panic I choose Atomic Turquoise and for La Riche Direction I chose Carnation Pink.

After ordering it online on Attitudeholland.nl it arrived after 2 days. It came in a box from La Riche Direction. Since both are in a small container they put in together in the carton box wrapped in plastic bubbles.

    

The Manic Panic containes 118ml while the La Riche Direction contains 88 ml. If I put the next to each other they are both in the same height but you can see the the La Rich Directiopn is thinner than the Manic Panic.

              

I love both container as it has a twistable top, so you can close it when you have left over. als the amazing thing is that it conditions your hair. It is amazing for the people that have natural dark hair and have to bleach their hair first, this hair dye will condition it so your hair is less damaged then. Both colours look really dark in the container.

Since I have natural black hair and also since I dyed my hair purple last year when I was in Thailand, I still had to bleach my hair before I could dye my hair with the semi permanent dye.

    

pic 1: bleached the hair, as you can tell there is still the purple hair dye in my hair since I dyed my whole head purple then, pic 2: after putting the carnation pink and atomic turquoise and this when I just washed my hair and under the light of my table lamp, pic 3: how the colours looks in natural lightning.

As the pink was really light not really the pink I wanted and the blue more to the green than blue, I was still happy with the result especially since the blond wasn't platinum blond that I had. The pink stayed in nice for about 4 weeks and the blue stayed for about 6 weeks and there were still some blue in my hair left. For both colours I still have more than half of its content left and I have used quite a lot, I think I am able to use it about 2 more times before it is finished. I was my hair every other day tried to only shampoo the top of my head in the first week and a lot of conditioner at the bottom of my hair. after that I just wash my hair as usual.

I would recommend Manic Panic and La Riche Direction to anyone who was to dye some crazy colours in their hair. Next I am planning to try out Manic Panic Amplified and Stargazer.

JaeJoong Mine MV Review

MV Teaser:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpfnJym8bi4&w=560&h=315]

In the teaser we see Jaejoong running towards a crowd crow and we see a lot of scene that goes by very fast in all the scenes we see Jaejoong wearing black a bit of a gothic style. There is much exposed in the trailer of the song.

Full MV:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYgTJ9D4Rgg&w=560&h=315].

As this song is written by Jaejoong him self, I was surprised as well that it turned out so well. Being his first solo album I loved every single song of the album, but I especially love Mine. Also first time hearing Jaejoong using more of a screaming vocal than his usual smoothing vocals.

The outfits he wears is something that kpop artist wouldn't exactly wear. The clothings are very dark like gothic style and the way he wears colour lenses and different make-up used really matches the song very well. I was surprised of the props he used but I have to admit that I really like the way it has been used. I was also a bit surprised that he was going for such a dark concept, but I really liked it that he is showing a different side of him.

CNBlue - I'm Sorry MV Review

CN Blue ARE BACK WITH ANOTHER AWESOME TRACK

MV Teaser:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrCS2iSiO58&w=560&h=315]

My first reaction of hearing/watching the teaser was "YES THEY ARE BACK and the song melody is stronger than what I am used to hearing from CN Blue. I was really happy. I really like that they incorporate english in the beginning. The teaser doesn't show much only showing CN Blue playing the song as a band in a abandoned house.

Full MV:

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p3cKsDCA0Y&w=560&h=315]

The MV starts with a girl voice saying "Its over, I'm Sorry" And the MV starts with Yongwha walking on the street wearing casual clothes. After its Jonghyun turn walking on a different street also wearing casual clothing. After its Jungshin wearing casual clothing and holding up a rose. Last Minhyuk wearing casual clothing, hands are bandaged up. They are walking on different places that at some point when thy are walking they meet all up at the same street.

When the song hits the chorus of the song, it show them on a roof top playing instruments / singing.

Yongwha on the phone and then we see him getting angry/sad (reference to the english line in the beginning) and pushing everything onto the floor. Then we see Jonghyun joining Yongwha on the streets. That goes to Jonghuyn's solo scene where he is under a bridge playing guitar and being approached by 2 foreign police as he is forced to leave. Then Minhyuk joins them on the streets and shows his solo scene. He is in a bar being approached by some other big foreign guys for a fight, he throws a chair and leaves. Last Jungshin joins them and goes to his solo scene, where he is having a argument with a foreign girl on a bus and throws the flowers at her face and gets of the bus.

After that it goes back and forth between them on the roof and their solo shots of them angry and throwing items on the floor.

What I don't get is why all those foreign people. I love the idea though but its very random in the MV.

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.
