Super Junior Teaser




  
Two Teasers were released for the 5th album of Super Junior. The first one came out on July 31st and second one on Aug 1st. Both of them are very good, they are going for a different style this time. The songs are more dance with upbeat pop. Personally I like the 2nd teaser more, not quite sure why but I think if you watch it then you will know...of how awesome it is. :D

Finally, the return of the superiors! Their fifth album is out today. This has been the talk of the town ever since they were preparing for the release.It is beyond famous all over Asia and has even hit the western countries. It's amazing how much power their music has over the world. There is some thing that definitely divides them from the rest, they have unyielding willpower and faith. It is amazing what one person can accomplish once they set their mind and this is 13 members together and so their power is enormous. Super Junior, how does it feel to have your prayers answered? To have your wishes and dreams come true? To know that every waking moment 1 out of 5 people know your name?  To know and feel the power of billions of people supporting you? There are no words to how powerful and loving the human heart is. And that is what I've learned from knowing their music. Their music has helped me through every step of my life, whether it be sad, happy, frustrated, confused, in love or lose of hope. And I think that is exactly why they continue to make music. I am very grateful to have discovered them. I thank God for giving me a chance to notice them.
They all have grown up from boys to man and we have grown with them. We have seen most of their life, most of their emotions and shared their pain and happiness. And for those who are far away, the miracle of technology has joined us and connected us closer than ever. I hope people will continue to love their music just like all the E.L.F.s out there have.

おたんじょうび おめでとう!!!


 

おたんじょうび おめでとう まもるちばーさん/ツクセヂカメンサマ!
Happy Birthday Mamoru Chiba[Darien Shields] /Tuxedo Mask!!!

This is a tribute to our very own Tuxedo Kamen-sama. Although there are many controversies whether his birthday is on Aug 1st or 3rd but most of the places I've seen is listed on the 3rd. Only Naoko Takeuchi knows. So I show my gratitude for making me get up 7am every Saturday morning, just to see him throw a rose, fly across the screen, say a line and fly off. Time well spent. Ah~ if only you were real...so many girls would love to kidnap you..in the most safest way...Everyone knows we watched Sailor Moon just to see you for 5 mins on screen, and after that we felt like we could achieve anything in our world. So thank you Naoko Takeuchi-san for bringing him to the animation world and giving us hope in our not-so-wonderful life. And thank you Mamo-chan for existing in our imaginations. Koodos to you. Otanjoubiomedeto!

Emma - Love Song Requiem

Anime used: Emma
Creator: Kaoru Mori
Song used: Love Song Requiem
Artist: Trading Yesterday

My first music video, made it on Jan 28 2008. I thought I'd share it. I really like this anime, it's so pure and innocent. It definitely different from the rest of animes only because it's set in Victorian times in England but the language is Japanese. The first time I read the manga it caught my attention. The drawing style is very real life, not the usual elongated necks and legs or the big sparkly eyes. It's a short manga..only 7 volumes..I thought it would be longer. It's one of my favourite mangas of all time. I saw the anime and that was really nice as well. Just very weird looking at past England and having Japanese voices coming out from the characters nevertheless, a very mesmerizing story. It really shows the aspect of a real world and what life has to offer. The world is not all rainbows and cotton candy all around.
I am currently working on another music video of the infamous anime Nana. I'll be using the song from Lifehouse: First Time. If only my windows movie maker would cooperate with me then I would be done by now.

Hope you guys enjoy this! :)

I Got You


So I discovered this music video via YouTube a few months back and I fell in love with it. It is about a British series called Merlin. Basically about the younger years of the great magician Merlin and how he helped Arthur become a great king of Camelot. I have always loved Medieval era and when i discovered this series, I enjoyed it even more. The series is great because it shows every thing in the old age time and how people used to live plus there is not much profanity, or vulgar behaviour...mostly these days that's all the media is about. But I'm sure there are plenty of good series out there. I have been watching this video/listening to the song over and over again for two days. It is really well done. Credits to AviiAvatar02 for making it so superbly.
Lately, I have been very sentimental and every time I watch Merlin, it never fails to cheer me up. I guess it gives hope to the dying world. This series always have taught me to never give up, have hope and be patient.
Although lately those three phrases are very hard to achieve. 
せかいわむずかしです [sekai wa muzukashi desu] = The world is difficult.


Hope you enjoy the video

Full House




 
Episodes: 16
Genre: Romance, Comedy
Actors: Bi as Lee Young Jae
Song Hye Kyo as Han Ji Eun

I won't be putting the synopsis anymore, I'll just have a link for it if anyone wants to read it. The synopsis was for the first drama only. So I watched this drama in the summer of 2007, once again recommended from a different friend of mine and I totally fell in love with it. It's so cute and funny. The relationship of the main characters is very entertaining. It's basically about two people of opposite personalities living under one roof by a contract marriage. The events that happen between these characters are very fun to watch, you won't stop laughing. I uploaded a music video of the drama. It always puts a smile on my face. Plus the song is very nice too. 




Artist: Why
Song: Fate

Stairway to Heaven


Episodes: 20
Genre: Romance, Drama
Actors: Kwon Sang Woo as Cha Song-Ju
Choi Ji Woo as Han Jung-Suh
Kim Tae Hee as Han Yu-Ri
Shin Hyun Joon as Han Tae-Hwa

Synopsis: Cha Song-Ju and Han Jung-Suh have been childhood friends. They have been there for each other at every moment, whether it be the death of Han Jung-Suh's mother or the death of Cha Song-Ju's Father. One day Han Jung-Suh's Father remarries and she gains a step-sister, Han Yu-ri (same year) and step-brother, Han Tae-Hwa (1 year younger). Soon the plot for destroying and stripping everything Han Jung-Suh had begun. Her step-mother and step-sister took over her life and denied her of everything. After a few days Cha Song-Ju leaves for abroad studies, Han Jung-Suh forced to stay and fend for herself. Luckily her younger brother was there to defend her. And so this begins the story of Cinderella and her not-so-sane family.

I watched this drama during the summer of 2006..that was my first Korean drama ever. I was recommended this from a friend and I cannot thank her enough for it. As I was first watching it, I took notice of a lot of things..it was different from the western style dramas. Mainly because the language was foreign to me and trying to catch up with every subtitled dialogue was a task, on top of that the dramas are one hour long. I kept thinking what could they possibly put for an hour in an episode but it turns out there is so much that can happen...this drama is so sad. You will not stop crying from start to end. At least I know I cried immensely. I fell in love with the two main characters simply because the whole time they kept trying to be together in the most fairest way possible. Against all odds they kept pushing for each other. Now if that isn't true love then I don't know what it is. Also, Choi Ji Woo and Kwon Sang Woo did an amazing job performing their characters. Those two will forever be my favourite actors. Also, Kim Tae-Hee and Shin Hyun Joon performed well. This drama has all the emotions a person can feel and all the seven sins expressed. It is interesting how people will act if you give them a little money and luxurious items. It taught me to always have love, hope and faith. 

I highly recommend this drama for people that have lost hope in life, love an honest love story, need to see actors that can act, and just plain enjoying an epic tale. Be prepared to have a box of tissues beside you. :)
