I really liked EXO's Love Me Right/Romantic Universe video  or at least what I saw of it. i hate it how Japanese videos are so hard to find in their full HD form

 

YG has been such a dissappointment outside of BIGBANG. They botched iKon's debut and I fear for WINNER's comeback. Now there's rumors that 2NE1 could be returning but I'll beleive that when I see it.

 

BEAST

They recently released a new Japanese single, All is in U and I have to say its my favorite song released by Beast Music. They've been doing these lyric videos all year and I like how this one has an original twist. Well done

Did you not see my previous post lol. That's why I thought it was about 2NE1!

 

If this is some 'new girl group' or 'Bobby and B.I. solo subunit' bullshit, I will flip my lid. We'll find out on a week on Saturday ...

 

You like the viodeo to Romantic Universe huh? I thought it was a mess, but I did appreciate they were trying to make it look like a 1980s MTV mv and it did have tongue-in-cheek humor. However, I don't think Love Me Right is EXO's best song by any stretch and I wish they'd picked another one to sing in Japanese. Heck Call Me Baby >>>>>> Love Me Right! My dream would have been to see Wolf (Ulf Naega Ulf) translated and sung in Japanese but I know that ain't never gonna happen.

 

Interesting Beast video! The song was pretty catchy and interesting they never even appeared. I guess they're aiming for some small releases like this and for the Big Hit Japanese songs they will film a formal mv.

Oh i missed your post on 2NE1! It better be about them bc Ive been starved and CL's US debut has been in limbo and gone nowhere

 

Yeah I like the video to Romantic Universe. Its an interesting concept. Not sure how it makes sense considering how its different from the Korean one but I like it. In fact I love LMR. Ive been listening to the Japanese version quite a bit lately.

 

Im  missing Beast bc its been a while since their summer comeback and they havent really made many appearances. Glad they are still pumping out Japanese songs. Im eagerly anticipating their next one which will have a MV at the end of the month

It has to be about 2NE1. It just has to be! All the 21s, Scooter Braun tweeting to CL "you're next." I notice Dara is being a lot more active on her Instagram too, in anticipation maybe? I just want Bom to be there and CL, of course. It has to be the full package, and I'll settle for a mini album.

Also, EXO are doing a collaboration with Star Wars ahead of the big SW release. The mv is meh but I think the song is a jam:

SHINee is awesome! I love how their music evolves and they try new things outside the typical kpop mould.

 

Well Cheap, GD posted this on his IG:

.... so it's not 2NE1, it's just CL's solo.

 

I'm psyched to hear it (well, cautiously psyched) but I think YG are shits for trolling us with that "21" business. 2NE1 is not just CL, it is CL + Bom + Dara + Minzy. And when is Bom going to stop being punished and be let out of the YG dungeon?? She's so fragile sometimes, I dread to think what all this hiatus and "shame" is doing to her as she has struggled with depression and self-esteem issues.

 

I'm posting IKON's mv for Anthem. I feel like GD's influence is all over this! The jury is still out on IKON for me. I'm not sure how I feel about them. And one of them (the leader BI?) has a face you want to slap lol.

And I was listening to this song by Dynamic Duo a lot yesterday. The title (Meoggo, hago, jago) translates as "Eat, do it, sleep" :lol: It's a slow jam/baby-making music:

 

 

And this is "If winter comes":

New Beast! MV just dropped. Its a ballad and the use of clocks reminds me of last year's "12:30". Love the vocals. Wow at Junhyung starting it off as I was not expecting that from him. Great song and if this is their final Japanese single of the year, what a way to end off a string of great releases

Apparently thats the top digital downloads in Korea for male artists. BIGBANG cheated by spreading out their album across 4 releases.

 

Jay Park

He also released an album last week. This one is pure rap with very little R&B. I kinda like it but wish he sung more on it. Bo$$ is my favorite on it. If you notice in the second video, Hyuna is featured as one of the video girls...lol. Ive wanted them to collaborate. Maybe they'll do a song one day

I know and ITA. I was amped for a full 2NE1 release!

 

TBH I really like Anthem too. Apology was a little too lowkey for me. I also like the Anthem mv as the b&w photography makes it look sharp and clean.

 

Get it BEAST with those downloads for 2015! And get it EXO for being at #2 with just one album and a repackage! 

 

I'll listen to Jay Park later (aka when I'm not at work!) but I always love Hyuna. Too bad she's not singing on this.

    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react. 
    • 5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama. 
    • I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*
    • I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in. 
    • You are the best!!!! That is a remarkable talent, to not just summarize, but contextualize Draper's dilemma!  It is delightful to be able to think of that situation in a new way. - Thank you

          I was pondering Lee Godart's accent, because it was so dreamy.  It made me think he would've been perfectly cast as Victor Newman's brother on Y&R.  American's have a hard time distinguishing European accents.  And, good news, before I hit reply, I went and confirmed the actor is still alive.
    • Has anyone even told Gio that Sonny once shot Dante?
