The Rain Has Stopped

Konbanwa~
I feel now a days that daily, I should probably post reviews of latest news instead of JUST reporting them. Sounds good, ne?
Yosh! Aws. Recently, Super Junior (another K-Pop boy band) member Kim Heechul posed with fellow member Kang-in, who's currently serving his mandatory 2 years military service (required for all Korean men).
누구보다 내편이 돼주고 “형아 형아” 애교만점인 영춘이ㅋ “그냥 웃고 즐기며 살고싶어~ 요즘들어 아무도 없고 기댈곳이 없다” 란 내말에 연신 “미안 형아.. 미안해 진짜..” 거리는 겸디영춘. 내새끼임ㅋ

More than anyone else who’s always on my side, master of aegyo, Young Woon. ㅋ I said to him “I just want to laugh and enjoy my life~ lately, there’s nobody around and nobody to lean on.” He responded by saying, “I’m sorry hyungah(brother).. i’m truly sorry…”He’s my little boy ㅋ

Aw. It's so sad that Kang-in won't be able to fully return to activities for another two years. And by the end of next year or so, Heechul will also leave for the army. TT^TT I'll miss them!

So how many of you in the United States (if not, globally) have heard of Far East Movement? If you haven't, have you heard of the song "Like a G6"? That's their song. And just recently, this song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This is seriously amazing, because this is technically an Asian group and no other popular Asian artist (like Wonder Girls, BoA, or Charice) has ever achieved such a high feat in the American music industry. Huge applause for them, this is a new step for Asian artists everywhere~
My review of "Like a G6"?
I've only heard it on the radio, but to me it's seriously catchy and I always want to dance to it. Although after a while it gets seriously annoying hearing the same exact thing over and over and over again.
Moving on...
The 5th audio teaser for 2AM's new album "Saint O'Clock" has been released, along with maknae* Jinwoon's video teaser as well! The audio teaser is for the song "Mirage"

Review:
It definitely has more English lyrics than the other teasers. Personally, so far my favorite song is "Can't Tell You I Love You" but I think with time, I'll definitely become addicted to this song.
Now here's Jinwoon's teaser for their title track "Like Crazy"

The beginning was kind of creepy, with such a blank white background, and then a tearful Jinwoon stretching out. But once he starts singing, you kind of feel the emotion in his tears T^T
In J-Pop news, my first (and one of my favorite) manga Fruits Basket is apparently going to be made into a Hollywood live-action film.
Now, I should be thoroughly excited right? Only, I'm not. According to the director, they're trying to make it more realistic than the manga or anime, since they're cutting out some things from the first volume, like the fact Tohru lived in a tent for a week.
Hello, the whole dang series is about people turning into Zodiac animals. Exactly how do you plan on making it as realistic as possible?
One thing I hate is when Hollywood makes the movies different from the intended plot. The whole reason people are watching is to see it follow the storyline, not see you venture into your own creative world. And not to sound racist, but I honestly hope the protagonists aren't white. It's like Dragon Ball Z, I honestly thought they killed that movie.
I mean, this is based off of an Asian series. You'd think the stars would actually be Asian. But I guess not in this kind of reality.
And remember yesterday, how I posted the profile picture for Morning Musume's new single?
Quick review of that.
I honestly don't think it matches with the theme of the song at all. When I heard the song, I imagined purple (don't ask why that's just how my mind thinks, keke), a sexyish and very princess-like image. Not...that. And since my mind is weird, I kind of associated the outfits to kind of match up with that new Bath and Body Works scent "Dark Kiss"
Let's just hope the choreography and PV* will be better than the outfits. Although I've really gotten my hopes up over PVs the past year, but they kind of turned out disappointing.

Now onto today's song~
It kind of describes my feelings towards love right now, I suppose. I can't stop thinking about him for some reason, and I can't wait until I see him again come next Confirmation (yes, I'm Catholic) class Monday. Hope I won't keep staring at him though, it'll get kind of weird if he keeps catching me.

And today's quote:
"There can be miracles when you believe, so you have to believe in yourself" - Charice Pempengco
Quick audition update: No letter yet. Keep praying and thanks for the support!
That's all for today everyone, thanks for the read mina-san~

Notes (*):
maknae - Korean word referring to the youngest in a group
If I forgot any notes, forgive me I'm in a rush!
