GLAM aren't dead!? YAY!

 

[jongkookie]

Type in Rose Motel on YouTube with a unrestricted(no age gate) account... not what I was looking for but I'll take it haha. Anyway, their EP from November is soo good. Song of Youth and Chicken of Evil are my faves from it. It's so folksy yet upbeat with an anthem feel going on, it's reminding me a lot of 90's "light rock" if you will.

Oh btw, Soshi comeback might be pretty soon. Friend said there's rumors going around that some of Soshi will be guests on Running Man pretty soon. Dunno who and dunno when but it makes sense if you think about it. A lot of the other rumors point out that their coming back around March, and the rumors about their RM appearance just came out pretty recent. Too much of a coincidence lol.

 

[luso]

Comeback should be right after the Winter Olympics, probably still in February, at least teaser vids and pics.

Looks like song will not be nothing like In Front Of The Mirror...

 

[Pendulum]

Speaking of SNSD rumors, I've read that the delay is due to the teasers not being approved by SM, and some re-shooting was needed. Grain of salt and all that.

 

[luso]

I read that also, a re-shoot may be possibility but not the reason of a delay. Besides that, how can be a delay if there wasn't a (announced) comeback date in the first place?

Edit:
Some pics release from BTS:

I'm assuming internal delay. Not announcing a date doesn't mean they don't have their own internal deadlines.

 

[luso]

Re-shooting some scenes would delay a couple of days, meaning maybe a week considering the timing. I'm sure other factors are more important than some teasers scenes, even if this rumor is true at all.

 

[broadwayrock]

B.A.P's 1004 (Angel) is the best boyband song ive heard in quite a while. It's sounds nothing like their previous songs though.

New Crayon Pop dolls being released next week:

 

[llehuty]

Gary is going to make a cameo at Ji Hyo's new drama

Is anyone watching it? Is it any good?

 

[roaSone]

Really nice song by BAP, I have to check the full album now, cause it might be interesting.

EXO's Showtime' - EXO, Telepathy Game... The members who's mind matched the most?"

"EXO members each have a superpower concept like teleporting, freezing, and flight, played a game of telepathy.

In the upcoming episode of MBC Everyone’s ‘Q&A Variety - EXO’s Showtime’, to be broadcast on the 6th, EXO members, who always shout We are one!’ wherever they go, put their superpowers the test by assessing whether they were truly ‘one’ through a game of telepathy.

EXO members were each locked in isolated rooms and recieved a very difficult telepathy mission which involved the members being required to provide identical answers, in order for them to escape. After being told about the game, they were full of confidence and said, ‘Let’s finish it in just three goes’ and ‘We are one!’

But unlike their expectations, they ran into problems from the very beginning. They all showed different actions even for the mission, ‘Shout EXO’s Showtime logo’. The once confident members slowly started complaining, ‘I think we’ll be here overnight’ and ‘We all have different thoughts even though we all live under the sane roof’, as the missions went on.

Amidst the despair, however, Xiumin and Luhan’s telepathy worked perfectly for every word they said and action they showed, surprising the staff at the scene.

EXO’s pleading telepathy towards their members in other rooms and their surprising telepathy abilities will be broadcast on Thursday 6th at 6PM, on MBC Everyone ‘Q&A Variety-EXO’s Showtime’.”

Did a quick search for Nana and Kaeun in English/Korean/Japanese and didn't seem to be anything on YouTube (unless they are there and someone has decided to be less blatant with the title). I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks guys!

By the way, I just finished watching episode 182 of RM and realised that I haven't seen Dong Wan FD cameoing as a character in a while, does anybody know what happened to him? Did he leave the show?

He's still there. Here he is in episode 178, at the end of last year.

would have loved to have seen the PDs faces regarding that train

Neat, thanks for the update.
I just saw 183 too, it was kinda underwhelming for me, especially following the recent streak of enjoyable episodes.

Yep, I saw this rumour too. We got the teaser back in December during Marchen Fantasy so maybe someone had a new idea in the meantime (although I liked the look of the teaser.) Or maybe someone got a haircut or something. Who even knows with SM.

I've also seen a few pretty reliable sources (for example (source), another example) saying it's a mini instead of a full album and the MV re-shoot is the reason for the delay.

Also SM The Ballad is apparently a thing. Taeyeon, Jonghyun, Chen, Krystal and Yesung. Isn't Luna the main vocalist in f(x)? Either way, I don't care for ballads, but thought this might interest some people here.

At least we get two marriages out of it.

I'm seriously looking forward to the new composition of SM The Ballad. Looks really good on the paper!

Haha. That model from the cooking special who was head over heels in love with Jongkook must have been heartbroken when the fortune teller told him to look for someone with huge eyes.

Eunhye has large eyes (and has been "chubby", which was the other criteria). Please come to Running Man

Freaks me out, she has no chin.

A SNSD's mini?
I'm OK with it if there is another promotion cycle this year.

 

[dokish]

Met one dude in his middle 30s. He is a big fan of girl groups and told me about all the posters and exclusive stuff he has. Signed CDs and all. He told if from now on I need anything, specially ticket concerts, I can ask him, since he is a gold member (or something) of Gmarket, which means that every ticket before being accessible to the the general public, is available for those with vip accounts before. That's why shit sold out instantly.

Can't wait for the next big concert.

 

[luso]

Dokish getting inside connections soon.
Next step is backstage passes.

Even SNSD members were saying the combeack was in December.

So...... yeah, there's been delays.

 

[Dice]

So I was walking home from work in the bitter cold... and filled with joy because I was listening to Jasmine. Girl sings to my soul in a way only Hikki had before. So good.

 

[isuzu]

February 3, 2014: Kris broke down at the airport because he’d lost his boarding pass but a fan found it in the men’s room.

Kuriseuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[Sevarus]

Sounds like it might be because Taeyeon is going to promote with SM: The Ballad/whatever her OST is and SM still hasn't figured out how to make her be in two places at once.

This is 3 months later... doubt it played any part of the decision.

It's more likely they're trying to decide whether to bother with the facade that Yoona is a member of SNSD anymore or to just move on.

Snsd comeback delay is disappointing. Lee soo man should get his culture technology shit together...

I've played Yum Yum Yum so many times today.

Another new release - Rhythm Power (ft Crush) "Stupid Love"

Pendulum, thanks for the Nine Muses SuKiRa subs. About to watch!

In unrelated news, Sunny is getting 2 new photobooks soon. Chewing and Helianthus are both great fansites and between them they have some fantastic photos. Hope they sell well.

That Yum Yum Yum song is ridiculous and yet I can't stop listening to it. It's so catchy.

I won best member of January over there. They loved my "Caffe Bene Winter Collection".

 

[neoism]

[ch0sshi trans] I’m overflowing with emotions, thinking of letting you listen to a new song for the first time in a while. ‘Breath’ that I sang together with Jonghyun. and my first solo song, that isn’t an OST, ‘Set me free’. please look forward to it. I’ll see you next week.
