It's been a while..

And we've been busy-- but so has kpop idols!! SJM came out with a new mini-album about two weeks ago called "Perfection 太完美" with six tracks, one of which is composed by Jay Chou (XD). It's their first album as reformed group after Hangeng left. I was wondering why one person left SJM, but then they sent two people to replace him? But maybe it's because Hangeng was the dance machine, so that's why Eunhyuk joined, but they also needed a powerful vocal, and that explains Sungmin. Anyways, here's the tracklist.

1. 太完美 (Perfection)
2. 命運線 (Destiny)
3. 幸福微甜 (Love is sweet)
4. 表白 (Off my mind)
5. True Love
6. 吹一樣的風 (My all is in you)

Perfection MV:


A Korean version of this song was also released, which I understand, but then SM released a Taiwanese version? I haven't seen the Taiwanese version, but if it's the same video and still in Mandarin, I don't see the point. Unless SJM redid the song in Taiwanese or something, I just don't understand why a Taiwanese version was released. Either way, even though "Perfection" was the title track, I preferred the other ones, especially Henry's composition "Off My Mind". It sort of reminds me a little bit of Justin Bieber, but it's catchy. Lol his song just started playing on my iPod when I started typing the last sentence. And is it me or is his Taiwanese/Cantonese accent phasing out?

Off My Mind:


Now moving on to one of THE most respected kpop bands of all time-- BIG BANG!! What was it, like a 5-year hiatus? But they all had solo activities so it wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, this is only a mini-album since they're planning to release their hits in spurts.

Tonight MV:


Alright since I like all of them and I can't choose my favorite(s), I'll just link the rest.

Somebody to Love
What is Right
Cafe
Hands Up
Intro (Thank You & You)

OK yeah they're out of order. But that doesn't take away the power of Big Bang.

Who...

Is that circled in red with the rest of Super Junior? If you look closely at the face you'll realize it's Henry! I didn't recognize him at all at first; he used to be so skinny and now he's all ripped. I thought the skinny worked better for him before, it added to his cuteness. Now he's like Chinese Siwon haha. I wonder if he's officially part of SuJu now since Hangeng left, Kangin's in the army, and Kibum and Yesung are MIA. Hope so!! Zhou Mi too ^^

SJM

You know SJM still exists? I thought after Hangeng left it sort of fell apart or something but it's still there. They're doing some totally scripted Chinese show where they introduce different cultures and stuff. And they're on the new Semir posters. I can't believe after what SM did to Hangeng ta men hai you lian zai zhong guo zuo advertisements. Not that I want SJM to vanish, I just hope SM learned their lesson. After all, Super Junior isn't the first group to make a huge fuss over the contracts.

I recently googled "Henry Lau" cuz I was wondering what happened to him after the whole Hangeng fiasco and apparently he's currently studying at Berkelee [no it's not a typo it's a music school in Boston]. Speaking of the Hangeng fiasco, why was Hangeng the only SuJu person who left SME? I heard five other SJ's sued too. What happened to them? I wonder who the leader is now. Oh, and it'd be cool to see Henry on one of Peter Chao's videos. When SJM's new album comes out [which will be soon, hopefully] they can promote it on PChao's vids. Kevjumba, Nigahiga too. Aznn kids got tuu stick tuugedahh eh? Just a thought ^^ Wan an, sweet dreams, etc.
