Like the title suggests, this time there are so many new videos that, I swear, there wasn't a pleasing way of choosing only one Japanese and one Korean. Therefore, I made this super edition with all releases for you *-----* Take your time and enjoy~

    2NE1's "I Am The Best":

    2PM's "Hands Up":

    T-ara's "Roly Poly" (Stage Version only - the Story one is 12min long):

    B1A4's "Only Learned The Bad Things":

    Matenrou Opera's "Helios":

    FT Island's "Let It Go":

     I think that's it! Sorry if I forgot anyone >.<

    I never doubted some idols' singing capacities. But the variety show "Immortal Song 2", which challenges some of the most talented idols with old Korean hits, took my concepts to a whole new level. Some cases like SHINee's Jonghyun and SISTAR's Hyorin shouldn't be missed and that's why I made this post. It's just amazing. *-*

    BOM-RA-TA-TA-TA TA-TA-TA-TA TA   *----------* I can't wait any longeeeeer!

    I'm finally back! I hope you didn't forget about this lovely blog <33 

    Talking about forgotten stuff, today's "Take Notice" post is dedicated to one of those bands you hear once in a drama or anime theme, fall in love with it, but never hear news about it after the debut. It's time for Real Paradis' single "Kaze to Oka no Ballad"~

    Used as the ending theme for "Nodame Cantabile Finale", "Kaze to Oka no Ballad" is some kind of magical song. I say that because it just binds you to its melody. I'd never heard about the members of this group nor could find any useful info on the internet. Still, I just felt so attracted by this tune! It's soothing, beautiful and in great harmony with the anime's mood. It's been a year since I first listened to it, but right now I'm listening to it with the same interest and admiration as if it was the first time! Oh, and the off-vocal version in the single is a great addition to the package~

    After the amazing title song, there's yet another song to listen. "L.M.L." is a typical pop coupling song, though it doesn't hurt the single's greatness. I would call it a perfect "traveling song". It's kinda cool and you won't even notice time passing by while listening to this song. Unfortunately, this group is so underground and mysteriously forgotten that I don't even have a video of the B-side to post here... :(

    Real Paradis, what happened to you? Your debut song, which I don't even know if it's really a debut song, is so awesome and brilliant that I can't understand what made you disappear... I hope to hear more about this group someday. (if someone knows anything please tell me!) Remember, if you liked this song, please help the artists by purchasing their music. Maybe if everyone who liked this song had bought the single, Real Paradis would be releasing much more new stuff now! *---*

    BUT, on the other hand, that means vacations are coming and many many posts will be written next month so no need to PANIC XD

    That's it for now, see ya :333~ 

    OK, I was trying to wait for the full "Hot Summer" music video before making this post, but SM isn't being my friend today so I'll just use the teaser. ò.ó

    The exist†trace fierce girls are back with an astounding album and lead track. "TRUE" is really cruel and brings back memories from "resonance", which was definitely their best track yet. I just hope they continue this kind of work and forget about some singles released in the past...

    Don't worry, I won't make a fanboy party in this part about "Hot Summer". Well, it is a FREAKING AWESOME SONG OMG MY LIFE IS COMPLETE, but SM is keeping the MV for them lol... So I'll just post the teaser here while I go plan my vicious vengeance in case they don't release the full version TODAY. <3

    2NE1 seems to be a  favorite for covers among idols~

    Younha <3333333 /eternal love

To Meeeeeeee \o/\o/\o/

 OMG Gratz!!1!1 ~ ^3^

 Hohoho thank you.

    Krystal + Ice Skating  = *0*

 *dies* x.x

    Bonus Round~  Tango (Ep.01) performance:

    What happens when you gather two extremely beautiful songs in one single? Well, that question has many possible answers. But what if these two songs have the power to amaze you like no other and even make you want to cry? In that case, you have a Kalafina single. And "Lacrimosa" is the perfect package.

    The song itself is spectacular. While many might feel that Hikaru was forgotten as she just sings the choir parts, I reckon it was for the best. I mean, the dense atmosphere constructed by both the instruments and Wakana+Keiko vocals is in its best way. If Kajiura were to add Hikaru in the verses, "Lacrimosa" wouldn't be as impacting as the released version. Why? Apart from "Magia" (which really surprised me), Hikaru's voice is usually 'rawer' and not so melodic... Whatever, this song is brilliant lol

  

    Ooooh this is an interesting week! Secret has come back with another retro concept in "Starlight, Moonlight". The relaxing music and cute music video were enough to grab even my mom's attention lol... It's a very nice song, proving once again that this group never disappoints. Check it out~ ^^

    Fortunately for us, J-Rock band Versailles unveiled their new album's promotional video almost a whole month before the actual release of the album. "Masquerade" is simply epic like "God Palace" from their major debut. The video is also, in my opinion, the best production of the band. The song is raw, evil and true to Versailles' skills. I can't even wait to hear the other new songs in "Holy Grail".

    Be afraid. Be very afraid of IU's hidden power!
