Had a longish drive last night and listened to Pink Tape start to finish and omfggff Step is like some god tier sexiness. Not sure why I didn't really notice it when I first gave the full album a listen but it's gone straight to #1 ahead of Nu ABO for my favourite kpop song ever.

Yeah Step is amazing. Pink Tape has so many great songs
 
The music shows this week have been a real chore to watch. There's way too many boybands with shit songs (where an earth have Brown Eyed Girls gone?) but Defconn's new single is quite an impressive old school soul song:

The girl who sings on it has a voice to rival Ailee.

MBC has taken down the live version from Music Core :(

Poor Pendulum. He's been waiting ages for this and now he's gone to Greece for two weeks. :p

I'll admit it - I got around to watching this when I had time by my [humblebrag]private pool[/humblebrag]. Their previous Weekly Idol visit (121219) was also subbed by the same sub group - I had seen the show, but not the subs yet.

T-ara in Hong Kong

Ok, fill me in here. Are there fancams of this concert?


Happy Anniversary to the Muses! Hoping so much that their profile raises with their next comeback, whenever that may be. I mean, how does Sera - one of the best in the business at fan service and a capital QT to boot - only have ~24,262 Twitter followers?

안녕하세요 kpopgaf! It's been too long.

Welcome back, mate. You owe me for the Yoona in the 1st reply of this thread ;)


Honestly, I thought 2 weeks away and I would come back to a dulled Crayon Pop chart performance. Checking Melon, they're still at 4. Jumping yeah!


Not the kind of movie I first thought about.

The maknae of T-ara was revealed to the public last year, but she was still training, since she was still so young. However, she's just hinted that she'll be standing on stage soon!

Hopefully starring as a tree in her school Christmas play.

RM is pretty big internationally and earlier this year they were the clear #1 ratings wise for variety shows in South Korea... unfortunately EP 157 had one of the lowest ratings in a long time. Funny how things can change in half a year.

To be fair, 157 was one of the weakest in a while. I hope they at least get to 200
and keep going


I can make the sexy times to this music.


I can make the sexy times to this video.


Sweet :) . The hype stuff for the new album looks to be varied, so I am not sure what to expect. Is there mention of an overarching theme/style to this album?

Man, the mainstream Korean hip-hop/rap scene is starting to heat up, FINALLY.

Anyone got the lowdown on this? I saw 1 or 2 tweets from Gaeko but was unable to delve deeper. E-Sens vs Amoeba Culture? Are these tracks on YouTube somewhere?


Gotta get the money's worth for those pole dancing lessons. Still, decent song. Doesn't strike me as a strong performer, but I like its groove.

Yeah, the overall theme of the album is, "Goodbye KARA, it was nice having you @ DSP"

2007 - “The First Blooming” (Debut)

2013 - “Full Bloom” (Contract soon to expire)

I watched some of those. I really liked the Nada sou sou performance. I love the song but had no idea that BoA had ever performed it.

I'll check out some of those videos out tomorrow.

Here's my own contribution to BoA's anniversary:

The Greatest BoA Post Ever

I was hoping someone would post that.


13 years in the industry and still only 26. What have I done with my life...

What's the premise of MBC Every1's The Dramatic? Idols starring in single episodes of some fake drama or something? I see Girl's Day starred in a recent one.

I'll come quietly, officer.

I will!

2000: TEASER for her debut single http://youtu.be/W0LjTn9ejqY

Jesus christ, she was only 13 when she debuted? I think I can vaguely remember someone saying she was under 30. It must not have registered because it's so unbelievable.

2001: Third Japanese single Kimochi wa Tsutawaru live http://youtu.be/cXIuQf33i1Y

Boring :(

2002: BoA's first self-composed song http://youtu.be/NQpm-tC_8fE

Alright.

2003: Moon and Sunrise legend piano perf (ENG SUB) http://youtu.be/_qpRngcsFVQ

This is an excellent performance, and the song is decent too. But watching this, I realised that I don't like her voice very much. I definitely feel it's not suited for this kind of song at all.

2004: "Every Heart" live, at the peak of her popularity, the perfect pop moment http://youtu.be/jBCDVlGdAKQ

Now this I love. Excellent song.

2005: Mnet KM Music Festival. Legendary performance (Girls on Top) . Sick, she danced her ass off around the huge stage for 7 minutes http://youtu.be/XJzy65P-QYk

Another excellent performance. But I'm not into dancing like you are, and the song doesn't really do much for me.

2006: Japanese mini-documentary BoA, reason of tears http://youtu.be/lq5fU2eD28Y

14 minutes... Gonna skip this one.

2007: To her great credit gets to perform Natsuwaka Rimi's Nada sou sou with her and Hitoto Yo and outshines at least one of them http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xm...ou-music-fair-21-vsub-kara_music#.UTwZVRxXGSo

Another fantastic performance. I cannot tell who performs the best in this performance, as that is out of my league, but I personally prefer both of the Japanese ladies' voices much more than BoA's. : |

In other news, this song is fucking amazing. I feel like it reminds me of 2-3 different songs. I am vaguely reminded of a song from one of the PSX FF's, and some Norwegian (only heard it in Norwegian at least) Christmas song.

2008: Pop dance masterclass, Bad Drive / Style / Sweet Impact live http://youtu.be/Nde67MngaZ0

Dance performance and two decent songs (Style and Sweet Impact) aside, Bad Drive is damn good. Where has it been all my life? I like this pre recorded version more than the studio version.

2009: Possible BoA's greatest single, until Only One at least, Eien, effortlessly LIVE LIVE LIVE http://youtu.be/5ayWi868eeo

Definitely one of her greatest songs (unlike Only One).

2010: Exposing nerds to BoA, Tales of Grace OST on 2010 album Identity (first with BoA as album producer), live http://youtu.be/ZpszreuI4pw

A little boring.

2011: "BoA Meri Kuri (Crying) THE LIVE 2011 Xmas" http://youtu.be/wOkrev0sSS4

I guess some people love this. Too awkward for me, had to turn it off when she started crying.

2012: Rock With You & Valentine live, Tokyo Dome http://youtu.be/FEOXNVym4sU

Boring

2013: Third self-composed KR release in a row, 'Action', too good to just be released as an event theme song http://youtu.be/3jI-uTodFcs

I really like this. Another excellent song.

Woo. Thanks for the comments. I'll look past your remarks about Only One for that. The crying thing isn't special in itself but it was a significant moment, anniversary, looking back at her Japanese adventures. She performed that one, Meri Kuri, once with one of those Japanese ladies, Rimi Natsukawa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srffqpFkjfI Arguably her most famous song in Japan now as a Xmas evergreen

'Valenti' was her biggest JP hit sales-wise so seeing Tokyo Dome shake it to it last year was hype, plus she looked so cool in that outfit.

Kind of off topic but I thought I'd recommend that anyone who enjoyed Nada sou sou try Shima Uta, which is another song that Natsukawa Rimi helped make popular.

Also, here is the song performed by The Boom (the original artists):
