You know I had to write about this..... DREAM GIRL by After School
Dream Girl is the cover song of Morning Musume’s Love Machine for Korean-Japanese audition show ‘Great Tokyo Girls”..... AND I LOVE IT. Even though it's different than their usual smexy sound it is still awesomeness. A very good attempt at cute in my opinion. I can't get enough of Bekha's rap, its soooo..... *sigh*

Title: Davichi in Wonderland
Artist: Davichi (다비치)
Rating: 5/5 AMAZING
Release: 2/27/2009
#1 8282- In korean, these numbers are actually the Hallyu for "Hurry Hurry" so anywho...I absolutely ADORE! this song. Their voices and strong beautiful and just all around entertaining. The song starts off with the wonderful piano arrangement and then the vocals begin and I'm already sucked in. I really don't like Davichi that much but this single make me a believer in their talent. The song is beautiful, speaking of how a man has left her and she's wondering if he'll call and just appease her hunger to understand what went wrong. My favorite line is, "I wait for you every day, That you love me, love me, At least send me a text, Don’t make me cry, No..." What a modernized time we live in.
#2 사고쳤어요 ( Sagochyeosseoyo, I Made an Accident)- Begins beautifully, with the soft vocals accompanied by a sweet pop beat. i love the guitar, riddle throughout the song. This song is just wonderful i always want to cry because i feel all the emotion in her voice. I hope that if i ever make a mistake it is as beautiful as this song. ^.^
#3 My Man- so this song make me happy. Not only does it have crazy english riddled throughout it, "I gots your not a friend..." I think they meant i guess you're not a friend lol but of course koreans trying to speak english is weird lol Anywho i love this song, i first heard it on Boys Before Flowers, and i was like WHO IS THIS! and I figured it out lol I like this song because it is another poppy song that has meaning but it keeps you feeling good. This one is a must listen...wait the whole album is nevermind lol
#4 사랑이 우습니 (Sarangi Useumni, Is Love Foolish?)- So as we all know i don't like ballads, this one is no exception. It is absolutely beautiful but I really don't enjoy being sung to then crying when i reads the lyrics. I'm like ugh! can we not?!? But its a beautiful song regardless ^.^
#5 Crazy Woman ft. 김연지 of Seeya! I likie this song mucho mas! OMG! I'm always just rocking back and forth to this song like, don't end don't end PLEASE! lol Its wonderful LISTEN! don't take my word for it

Release Date: April 29, 2009
Rating: 4/5
Favorites: Rock U, I Believe in Love, V.I.P.P., Bangalicious, 1 more night
#1 I Rave U (Original Version)- Is an instrumental that starts the cd, its GREAT! i love the sound, it reminds me of the beats you hear at raves in America its good.
#2 Rock U ft. 安室奈美恵- "Get down down down down ROCK U!" I love Namie's voice in this song, she takes the whole techno idea to the next level. She sings in a lower pitch and it fits well with the powerful beats and noises lol Not noise but its good i enjoy this song, its on repeat on my ipod lol ^.^
#3 Just the two of us ft. 東方神起- They have never done anything that sounded like this...I don't really like it. I over done repeating of the beginning is just bleh. I mean i like Tohonshiki but meh its a little much for me.
#4 House Nation ft. Lisa- Its a crazy song, "Expand your mind!" lol Lisa's english is good lol I don't think there is any japanese in this song. But i think this song is ok...i never liked Lisa anyways, and this song made me wonder why she was picked over ami suzuki, i think she's on avex, bleh.
#5 Bangalicious ft. 土屋アンナ- Anna's voice is not the best but i like her voice here, its like her rock mixed with the ravex techno feel. Her english is also nice sounding in here, it kind of reminds me of Fergilicious??? With all the "liciouness" going on. But "I don't care say what you want" haha love her ^.^
#6 Believe in Love ft. BoA- This song is BEAUTIFUL! thats all i have to say. the video is super trippy i'm going to post it below.
#7 NEW eccentric girl ft. 千紗 (Girl Next Door)- This song is kind of boring to me...and i never finished it lol But you may like it so give it a try ^.^
#8 GOLDEN LUV ft. Maki Goto- This song does Maki some justice i rarely like her music its usually overly sexafied lol But either way she sounds sweet on this song and i definitely enjoyed it.
#9 V.I.P.P. (Very Important Party People) ft. Verbal & TRF- I love this song! Verbal's voice makes me happy lol. But the stupid chorus in the background i could do without. I also love the title, very important party people lol, and they actually say it in the song, i died laughing but its great so im Alive again ^.^
#10 1 more night ft. MONKEY MAJIK- I love his voice! OMG! wonderful "Baby I remember everything, wishing you were hear with me..." I mean i come be with you although, i think Monkey Majik is a little old, he's been in the buisness a while. Haha but this song is nice ^.^ Oh he reminds me of David Craig! thats it
#11 悪い子みつけた ft.安藤裕子 (yuko Ando)- Another song i just don't like >.>
#12 I RAVE U ft. Dj Ozma- Meh I like the Original Better is all i have to say
Well helloooo Jang Geun Seuk! Yes the actor, u may know him from Beethoven Virus and Lovers in Prague (very good BTW), came out with a single advertising for the Samsung yepp. AND I LOVE IT >.<
there's a PV 2! its kind of a music-drama. so he's working in a book-cafe and has a serious case of OCD. (not really, but its funny.... not that the disease is funny.... oh geez) then he meets this girl who forces herself on him and they fall in love.... THE END! nice, right? (oh and the girl falls, now that's funny. she's really cute tho so its ok)
1. Kiseki- "We say goodbye and hello over and over again.
You and I, we circle each other round and round into eternity (Translated)." This song just reminds me of how relationships are hard, but we always have tomorrow to make it better. I love the lead singers voice, acchu, she has a nasally voice, but she controls it well and i just love love love it. This song just reminds me why i love NIRGILIS soo sooo much.
2. I Love You- "Jealousy...Jealousy...Jealousy...I love you." Its great their last single was in May of last year so its great to hear them making music. There is this opera thing that starts near the end of the song, its funny but it fits right in and you barely notice its there. The strings and instruments that end the song are great to its just an all around wonderful song listen to it!!!
Rating: 5/5
Nia "My Everything"
Type: single Genre: K-rock
1. My Everything- They remind me a little of Biuret, whom i LOVE. Its ncie to have a group thats not all poppy and over done in the mix. I love the lead singers voice, its soft and raspy and her english is good. I think that is a nice soft rock song to just kick back and listen to. A fall asleep song is what I'll call it.
2. Break Out- Is a faster paced song then the first one, she starts off really cute, i don't know what she says but yeh. Then the whole group comes with their harmony, the chorus then goes into an"I, I, I..." where she alternates her pitch rapidly for a kind of yodeling sound. I don't why but it kind of reminds me of a japanese song with all the cute little noises they make ^.^
3. Hey U- Another fast paced song, starts with guitars and then her soft vocals followed by an electric guitar. Hey you,just listen to this song lol Its great and it just reminds me how much i want to start a band UGH!
#1 Gemini- "色花 (Comes From Bad)" I absolutely can't get enough! It's a face paced rock song that starts off like W0ot! lol It's in Mandarin so of course you won't understand it, but in the song she says "can a man come from bad?" I don't know, but this song makes me believe they surely can! It's a wonderful rock song that pulls you in because the message is just about the crazy life people decide to live, and Suna and Gabryl's voices blend so well. YUM!
#2 Meisa Kuroki (黒木メイサ)- "Bad Girl" So this song just makes me want to dance all sexy like and be like who you think you is?!? But this is like the typical r&b track with the Meisa trademark monotone, but i love this song "Amai kotoba wa iriani (words of sweetness)" haha where are those for me? Idk but for her love i might agree with being a bad girl.
#3 By2- "DNA" Mandarin makes me happy, and their english is so CUTE! haha this song is like hyori lee or jolin tsai all the way! Its a nice little dance track they show off their vocals, their good producers and the new adventurous side of them haha! i love this song "what you waiting for, DNA sho ming la"
#4 Jolin Tsai (蔡依林)- "影舞者(The shadow dancer) Some of the instrumentation in this song reminds me of old chinese music with the little instrument they strum, but then it jumps into the crazy beat that Jolin is known for, she says "ha" alot haha but its a nice addition to this already stellar song ^.^
#5 Ayumi Hamsaki (浜崎あゆみ)- "identity" AH! this song is stuck in my brain "Decoration shite tte" why is it so addicting? anywho this song is about being you and not letting the world tell you what to be in, she says "It's not important how I'm viewed What I need is how I should be (translated)" WOW! I never knew Ayumi thought like that but its deep and it reminds me that being an individual is OK
#6 Olivia- "Sailing Free" Throw inabition to the WIND! haha when you have the courage just do whatever makes you feel...YOU. this song is all about gaining the courage to set out on your own and makes life what you want it to be! OMG! Olivia i LOVE you! haha "I don't know what to expect, I don't know what's coming next"
#7 Hey Girl- "OOXX" A girl group that has been likened to SNSD. Their voices are no where are developed but this is a wonderful song that showcases their talent and i like it. Its a cute number that i tried to dance to *fail*
#8 Ping Pung- "殺她死 (Kill Hr)" Kary Ng before she was incredibly famous! her rock band! i love this cd though i thought it was raw and so heartfelt, kary ng's voice has not changed at all. I love this song, it mixes rock and some nu metal sound its nice. Her voices slide smoothly over the instrumentation. UGH!
this is the ultimate After School video library, they have a whole bunch of After School love my sources cant even find soooo..... yeah, they're the shit
my favorite video of theirs in this one, its all 16 of the Ah performances. In one handy video, in HD no less (^_^)
Naoya Urata was a member (may still be idk) of AAA (All Around Attack) but decided to go solo in January with his album, Turn Over. And its..... good.... i guess.
1) Intro- starts of with a heartbeat and Satan. Satan talks about love, war, and justice; kinda creepy.
2) TURN OVER- why does everyone love this damn synthesizer, looks like its gonna be another one of those albums. The beat is cool tho, nice R&B feel.
3) Baby Bang! feat. SPHERE- WOOOOO! very good song, the best on the album if i do say so myself. (^_^) SPHERE's rap in this song is rather good. Makes me wanna dance!
4) I think I'm in love- this song was very touching, but that may only be my hormones. It's his real voice too! Smooth and sexy *thinks* Boyz 2 Men.
5) Ecstasy feat. YUKALI- I LOVE YUKALI (she's a member of HALCALI btw) butI wouldn't kiss her if she said it like that in the beginning of the song (that wasn't sexy) The song is good overall, coulda been a bit faster.
6) Too Late - this sounds like something American singer, Amerie, would sing. It's boring in my opinion. And I don't like to hear men beg so......
7) HOT LIKE FIRE- does anyone else hear him say "hop the fire"? The song isn't bad tho (but not a 5-star in my iTunes library) Has a hip-hop feel to it, and idk what this screeching thing is but it needs to go.
8) voice of mind- nice ballad, even tho I'm not into them. His voice is also expressed well in this song. The beat is soooo sooothing. A+
9) anything about sex- hmmm, wonder what this song is about? Not feeling it, love the guitar. Wouldn't get me in the mood.
10) Starting all over- it's ok, he voice gets a bit to high in this track. dance/hip-hop
11) Like a tatoo- Another good one, this is something to play @ a party. I'm crazy about u 2 Naoya. most bpm on the entire album. (which is a good thing) What does this song have to do with a tatoo btw? lol
12) White lie- weird beat, makes me feel like im falling. His vocals are pretty tho, nice song.
His voice can get feminine @ some places but the album was pleasing for the most part. I liked it, hope you do to. Expected more from a product of AAA. I have mixed feeling as u can see....
WTF IS WITH THOSE DAMN YELLOW SHOES?! The video is good when it comes to dancing (i mean he did dance 4 ayumi) but the white chick with the blue stuff is kinda creepy (once again)
ByBy2 "Twins" Release: April 17, 2009 Genre: Mando-pop
DNA- “Fantastic!” reminds me of early Jolin Tsai music, the beat is dancy and seems a little late for the time music is in now, it’s a good track it also reminds me a little of a faster paced “Eat You Up” (BoA), but overall as a cd opener its very welcoming to draw the listener in, I also hear growth in their voices from their previous cd
I Want To (我想要)- An interlude, a bit of talking you wouldn’t understand but they sound cute, they talk fast and I appreciate the cuteness of it all
A Girl Praying (新少女祈禱)-what is up with all this synthesizing voices now a days, is everyone so afraid of their real voices? Any who this is our first taste of ballad on this cd, I must say once again there has been serious growth and I enjoyed this song, it was slow but it moved along with the cuteness Twins are known for.
I Know (我知)- Another ballad, from a commercial they did, I’m going to try to find it and post it. This one is B-E-A-utiful I absolutely love it! The emotion in it tugs at the heart strings, their range is also showcased here, the synthesizing is ditched and we here the Twins we are used to. Overall one of my favorites already on this CD. I love a good ballad that rocks me to sleep in its emotional arms.
No Explanation (無解呦)- UGH! Why can’tI be this cute, the song starts off with thatRnB sound the snapping and piano, and it goes into their soft vocals accompanying one another, I must say in this song their voices compliment on another exquisitely. This is a must listen its slow, but it reminds me of a jazz song the kind that make a long drive seem so short and peaceful.
Invisible Commander (無敵帥)- It starts off like a baseball game. >.<* But once again the whole cute aspect shines through its weird lol But I enjoy this song too, another cute one!
What, What (什麼什)- A marionette begins this one, “Uh uh, what, yeh yeh.” When did By2 become gangsta??? Whatever its nice it reminds me of a song but I cannot figure it out! UGH! I love how it goes from one ear to the other when its playing. This is a good song too its slow but has that umph necessary to keep it moving, and a lot of “OHs”
Bravery (勇敢)- Traditional Chinese instruments start of this beautiful ballad, it reminds me of something Kiya Tsui would do. The the vocals come in soft yet strong accompanied by a piano. This song reminds me so much of a song for a sad movie. It’s great though no complaints here. FYI this song was used for a Chinese videogame ^.^
BYE BYE BYE- reminds me so much of Michelle Branch! But anyways soft vocals accompanied by a guitar usually does an ear good. The chorus is strong and this song gives off a soft rock vibe. I love this song also, versatility does them well I must say.
Flash (快閃)- Chinese Country??? Haha! Its not sooo bad >.<* not a favorite but the fast paced singing makes the song interesting. Another cutie tootie song not to my standards.
Don’t Go Away- The cd must be ended with a ballad…This one starts with a piano and some voices softly accompanying it. Soft Vocals come in with power and emotion, a good ballad for the ballad lovers. ^.^ the splashes of English “Don’t Go Away,” are an added bonus
Overall Score: 4/5
Although I have never really liked By2, I find them incredibly cute and their voices on this CD have grown so much since the last cd they produced. I love Mandarin when I hear it and this Cd did not let me down.
Must Listens: Don’t Go Away, DNA, BYE BYE BYE, Bravery, No Explanation, What What
W-inds and G- Dragon “Rain is fallin’”
OMG! What Korea and Japan in one song. Ok GD his English is perfection! I love listening to him rap in English, I guess that language barrier didn’t permit him to rap in Japanese. This single doesn’t come out until 05/16/2009, but the video is receiving so much good feedback. W-inds dancing is just good, I just want to get up and dance with them! UGH! But the disco thing??? Why? I mean Son Dambi and W-inds is it going to DBSK now? I hope not otherwise I enjoyed this song and this video. Keita Tachibana’s English is so heavily filled with his accent I think it does the song good. I love the English throughout the song it was good.
Hi hi! So I'm going to be your friendly neighborhood reviewer and ranter lol
I'm going to give you what's on my mind for that day and you'll come to like me hopefully.
Kellie desu. Hajimemashite. Douzo Yoroshiku!
Drama: "ToGETher" (taiwanese)
Cast: Rainie Yang, Jiro Wang, George Wu
Synopsis: So I'm on episode 6, this drama is so CUTE! Its about this agoraphobic (like extreme claustrophobia) , but Rainie Yang who plays Mo Mo makes this drama so likable. Mars played by Jiro Wang, makes me laugh he is so sincere but so lost at the same time. But give it a try it funny, Mo Mo and Mars like one another but they have yet to confirm it, I think as the episodes continue on Mo Mo and Mars will romance one another hehe.

Music:
Japanese: 黒木メイサ "Hellcat"
1. Hear the Alarm? - one of my favorites already, It starts with a splash of english, "Baby do you hear the alarm...We don't know how to turn it off." The only thing i hate is her monotone singing, well its not really singing more talking with rhythm. But the song is a great expression of the rest of the album to come later on.
2. Like This- the first single she released i was like WHAT! Meisa can sing? she can act too and take pretty pictures, lol but this song like the first is monotone and the beat overrides her talent. The beat is nice and it love the "Bounce Bounce so do you like this?" I do like this yes i do
3. Bad Girl- This song is just so saucy and fun! I love it "Luv is not everything." Well i guess not when you're a bad girl, but this song boosted a great beat and a sense of independence, its been on repeat since yesterday. This was also a single that came out earlier in 2008 i believe.
4. Criminal- The video for this song does it justice, not one of my favorites, her voice is high pitched and synthesized, it doesn't add any appeal on my part but i would never want to be a "Crimi Crimi Criminal...You're gonna get arrested." on Meisa's watch.
5. No, No, No- Has a little latin flavor, another song that starts with some english, that is undesirable, but i like this song. I mean No lol
6. SEX- the title is sadly self explanatory. I hated this song, i thought the blatantness and the lack of some kind of direction besides form sex was so ugh! The word is in every line and its just not a song i enjoyed.
7. Lost- A slow song. *GASP* I was like really? I mean this could be a danceable song regardless but it gave another side of Meisa, not just dancing and being sexy, but showing emotion "Don't know why love makes me so confused, don't know how to be myself." This is like a break up song that has not been accepted. I love it though it reminds me of being attached to men that would never want me back.
8. THIS IS CRAZY- yes all capital letters. This song is crazy good, the beat is wonderful, her voice is synthesized in a good way. This song along with Bad Girl on repeat for the rest of my life!
Overall: I like this album for a debut it could have been better but her voice is so underdeveloped i can't expect much else, This is crazy, Bad Girl, Lost are all must listens the rest of the album is meh listen if you want.
Score: 3/5
