Oh dear, their "normal" outfits are kind of hideous. SHOULDER PADS, GO BACK INTO THE CORNER OF PAST FASHION HISTORY WHERE YOU CAME FROM, AND DIE A LONELY AND NEGLECTED DEATH. That being said, they're still better than a lot of their concert outfits... I just would have liked something a li...

Surprisingly, the song isn't all that bad. Cutesy, typical H!P, but the energetic PV makes up for it. Bonus points for Chinami hamming it up during the instrumental break.



I really want a .gif of Saki doing her little "crying with cardboard tears" thing, it would make such a good avatar..

Star Trek was just absolutely fantastic. I had my misgivings, as I was going with my "nerd friends" who actually watch old episodes and know canon and such, but the sheer awesome of the movie blew it away. It helps that Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine are Very, Very Fine. [tinytext](And a li...

Curiously, I've always found SNSD to be vocal leaps above H!P - SM Entertainment has a reputation for manufacturing idols with very polished, trained voices, and even though I don't even really care for SNSD, I will admit they are all above-average vocalists. Example: Singing one of their ballad son...

Meh.



I heard my 6-year-old cousin singing "Low" ("Shorty got them apple bottom jeans...", that song) the other day, so some overly paranoid parents freaking out about "of looking" sounding like "fucking" is the least of our troubles.

[quote name='hoshi' post='64328' date='May 5 2009, 11:59 PM']To add to Mia's post about 2NE1, someone posted both versions of their Fire MV on youtube: - Street Version - Space Version I think I like the street version a little better, though the space version reminds me a bit of Swi.T's debut MV.

Again & Again is a decent track, but 2PM's debut was so much better, holy crap. Pervy lyrics + awesome dance + insanely catchy = ftw.



Has everyone already listened to Diva Diva Diva D-D-Diva! yet? The new Buono! PV outfits kind of reminded me of them, and fuck that song is awesome.

Hey, I didn't know they were coming out with a single. A nice surprise, I suppose? The song is decent, the outfits are cute*, I actually really like their "dance" costumes for once, there's a semblance of a plot = I'm not disappointed! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#E...

OMG. So I just wasted like two hours going through a community on LJ that posts Arashi .gifs... (haha wow it's 4am, I'm productive) I'm thoroughly and utterly addicted. So.

I actually got pissed when I got a perfect on Fan Club, thus unlocking that damn song. The DJ School song is actually one of the most endearing on the whole game, I find myself humming it a lot - a lot of its charm comes FROM the "su-kratch-o!" and infectious enthusiasm. Of course I wish t...

THIS, SO HARD. It's not as immediately catchy as Sorry, Sorry, but it's got a lovely beat to it.

Fuck, that was hard. And time-consuming. If anyone's ever tried to completely beat a Final Fantasy game? Yeah, almost the same level.

Hm. You know, someone (Rolling Stone, I think) was reviewing the recent Kelly Clarkson album, and what they said made me think of Utada.

I could never buy smaller than like, 60GB (I have too much music!), but I would never buy this because... I've never liked the robot computer voices, they're quite creepy to me.

The editorial I turned in, for better or worse. I was kind of loopy while writing it (I downed like three Cokes AND took one of my Ritalin, so I was kind of all over the place), but... I dunno.

I feel that I must add that Eat You Up is a fucking difficult dance. The beat is incredibly fast, so it's basically a mildly sexy aerobic workout.

Last time I checked, cheating wasn't culturally accepted ANYWHERE. Period, end of story? Kago is essentially a home wrecker.
