Well, I'm alive, as you can tell... And.... I'm back!
Kinda....
First of all - I just want to thank all of for being patient... Also thank you for your constant revisitation of this little blog of mine. Statistics would just blew my mind every time I'd come here. I'm beyond thankful.
From now on - I'll try my best to write as often as much is possible for me to do it, cause... yeah .... I just feel guilty for not being active here. And you guys are such sweethearts coming back almost every day to check have I posted something new and all..so ..
I do have crazy schedule (I started to illustrate for a bit, also I've been learning how to sew things... cuz like... #stayfocusedstaycreative (insta hashtag that so you can take a look on my embarrassing drawing skills and stuff...). Anyway...those are the things that has been distracting me from doing my beloved kpop mv reviews.... But don't worry, I haven't missed a single comeback (I think so). I kept my eye on everything that has been going on in the kpop world, so I'm still pretty updated about errthingg.
There were a few really good cbs and debuts(Day6 - like I adore) during my hiatus, but let's have a fresh start, shall we!
Are you (like myself) pleased with GOT7's comeback????!!! Damn, they are damn fine!
I think this is my favorite Got7's title song so far..
They've changed their music style a little bit, also there's a huge concept reverse - No more sweet boy concepts (please!!!). Got7, stick to this one (please!!!).
Here it is... 'If you do' - the song that has resurrected Looloo, and made her feel the feelsss again!
My last words are - Someone tell JB he should stop being illegal like that!
I can't decide what I like the most - The lyrics, the concept, or the freekin amazing dance choreo - that foot work ...Ughhh....
Subs are there - JYP knows the struggle of an international fan. Props!
Here we gooooohoooo! After I've reviewed two incredible comebacks this past Saturday, I ended up with no comeback to talk about today...Damn... Still, I'm gonna do this shizzz! Out of total 3 songs that can be considered comebacks, I choose...mhmm...This one. SunnyHill - Here I Am
Pretty up-beat melody for a sad song/story. Music(rhythm) changes constantly - just for a first 30 sec, we have string instrument that makes melancholic intro, to the piano mixed with some...thing (I am not a music expert, as you can see)- that builds transition to the full speed up-beat bridge, and then we have chorus - where they (song producers) give a spotlight to vocals, rather than instruments, but still, in the background, we can hear that upbeatness...The thing repeats till the end of the song.
SunnyHill is a girl group with a very good vocals in it. Girls are, obviously, very talented, and somehow I can't put them in a typical 'kpop girl group' drawer... Cause they're just different level(?)... musically, and also - unlike other girl groups.. they tend to grab your attention not with the appearance, or crazy(sexy) dance moves, but with their voices and interpretation of a song/lyrics... They look/sound like they have more life/love experience, basically.
As I said - interestingly, there's no dance choreography, they stay still through out the whole video (not sure how the live perf would look like...cause, the song is sad, but it's not a ballad that they can sing standing still). Camera movement makes it more dynamic...Probably, they'll use that trick to make live perf not boring....
As for the video - It shows a girl who can't forget her past love. She lives in the past. Dreamy effects are used to make it more unrealistic (they can't/won't be together again for sure)...She needs to wake up. The other girls helped her to snap out of it... They're like her friends, I suppose... that care about her...or...or..or... *whispers...They're group of fairies-psychologists (read: common sense brain center) who can heal broken hearts...
Overall, it's a nice song.
Other songs (options) for today's #kpopthurday were these two:
Apink - LUV - Autumn theme...nice outfits and hair colors...
Loco feat. Jay Park - Thinking about you - not really a comeback(it is for Jay, he sings the most important part -chorus), but still, cool song...interesting video...catchy melody/chorus.
Debuts, comebacks, sub-units, even a Spanish-language release... and then another OST release... Crazy times, crazy times!
For today's #kpopthursday I picked these two following songs:
When I saw teasers I was like - Wait...What? Teen Top? A...Again?
The thing is - 'Missing' (which I reviewed one/two months ago) is from the latest EP 'Exito', and the new song is from album 'Teen Top 20's Love Two Exito' (repackaged ver.). Mystery solved! Whatevs... The song/music - it's nice, I like it...It has that TeenTop's recognizable beat...something that differs them from others, idk... Almost like Infinite (another kpop group - when they make comeback(who knows when) - I'll probably review it) - as soon as you hear the song, you can immediately tell that it's Infinite's song. The literal translation of Korean title for this song is - We have no problem - So, it's pretty obvious what the song is all about - GURL, DON'T LEAAAVE MEEEEAH! Lyrics - provided...Wooohooo! I like it when the guys are able to sing emotional/meaningful/regretful lyrics/songs, and still look confident - not like some desperate crybabies... Again - great vocals...Chunji's falsetto, Niel's sweet lazy whispering husky voice, CAP's deep smoky voice... Melting noona's ears/heart** The choreography - it flows nicely...smooth - like the song itself. MV - playing with lights/lighting saved the whole thing, lemme tell you... Few things are totally unnecessary: dog....car...'girl'... Those wooden things are fine - it's the stage, clearly! :) Outfits - I approve. :P
Me first time watching the MV - "That girl is not a girl... Look at those manly legs, (s)he doesn't know how to walk in heels... It's probably one of the members..."
A couple days after the song was released - members revealed that SHE is HE, and THE member is L.Joe.
Now, it's time for girl group comeback. AOA (Ace of Angels- apparently) made a comeback with a song 'Like A Cat'... I don't know much about them, tho... But, let's take a look together, shall we...
Ok...I won't go in to details about them(girls) - considering that I know nothing about members... But, what I can tell about the concept is -I don't like it. I mean the 'cat' part of the concept is fine, the 'sexy' part is too much... Tattooed main character is cute. Hey... One of the guards(whitehairguy) looks familiar to me... Oh, yeah... It's Jake (foreigner living in Korea, youtuber(?)...)... (no one cares, ha...) Ok, moving on... We can't deny - the girls are pretty... I want haircut/color of the girl who killed guards with a whip(???)... (in kpop music videos - everything is possible, they pat you on the back with a gun, and you instantly fall down.. and you die...:) They have no mercy on you :))) Girls love diamonds - Girls steal diamonds... Legit (not).. That Cat-like move (part of the chorus choreo ) is cute (1:27) Outfits - some are good, some are bad... Make up - props to the makeup artist!
(Actually, I wanted to review new song of YG's sub-unit group 'HISUHYUN', but then I realized that the MV for that song is not released yet (and we all know that there will be a video - some of the cuts/images from the shooting location have leaked...So, let's wait for the proper MV...then I'll talk about it...) I can't resist not to show you MV for that OST (I've mentioned earlier) Again -'UNIQ' sings 'Celebrate' - OST for the upcoming 'DreamWorks' animation film "Penguins of Madagascar". Adorable Penguins! (the actual Penguins Of M./characters are cute too :))
Our vampire-zombie-voodoo (i)dolls are back with "Error". Guess what they're now? Any guesses/ideas/theories? (hint: I'm mean...c'mon...Error)
Yes, you got it right! They're robots/cyborgs!
Futuristic love...ooooooohhh...interesting.
Aaaaand ssssstart!
I don't have to explain the plot, right? It's simple - Hongbin (lead roll - congrats! - as expected.. after all - he is one of the rising acting-dols) works for the government on this thing... cyborg project(?), suddenly he loses the love of his life, makes a cyborg of himself, and ocf of her...illegally, gets caught... and then they died... (but this time - together)...End. That girl is actually a new member of a girl group Kara (I mentioned her before...). Her name is Youngji, and I'm glad that she showed some acting skills in this MV, Cute.
About the lyrics - Well, check them out here - I feel that the lyrics and the music video story are slightly disconnected, do you? I love the lyrics, anyway...So, let's move on...
The dance - ooohhoohohoo... you can't not love Vixx's choreographies - that chorus part when they go: oh oh oh - that running in the same spot - is my favorite part of choreo...and that "unplugging" at the end - coooool. Outfits - black and white(with a pinch of red), as the video is - very nice. Again, Leo is just..........!!! He remains mysterious (oh, If you are not sure which one them is Leo - main vocal, starts to sing at 0:40). Not sure about Ravi's hat (?)...That thing is horrendous! I like his new short hair, tho.
One thing's for sure - Dark Princes are back!
Aaaaaahhmmmm... Sve sto mogu da kažem(vidim) je LEO.
Kraj.

salim se...
Naši vampiri-zombiji-vudu idoli su se vratili sa pesmom 'Error'. Pogodite šta su sada? Ima li neko ideju, teoriju...(pomoć:...ma dajte...Error)
Ne moram da objašnjavam radnju spota, zar ne? Jednostavno je - Hongbin (glavna uloga...čestitke...nije ni čudo - on je jedan od idola-glumaca u usponu) radi za državu na toj stvari....kiborg projektu, ali iznenada gubi ljubav svog života, pravi od sebe robota, kao i od nje...ali ilegalno, uhvate ga, i na kraju oboje umiru (ali ovaj put-zajedno). Kraj. Ta devojka je, inače, nova članica ženske grupe Kara (koju sam već spominjala ranije). Ime joj je Youngji, i baš mi je drago da je pokazala svoje glumačke sposobnosti u spotu - pokazala je još jednu stranu svoje ličnosti, a to će se, čini se, dopasti starim, a i novim fanovima grupe Kara. Slatkica.
Što se tiče teksta - Možete ga pročitati klikom na link u eng delu teksta gore...Ja osećam blagu diskonekciju između teksta i spota, a vi? U svakom slučaju, dopada mi se tekst...tako da možemo nastaviti...
Ples - ne možete ne voleti Vixx koreografije - omiljeni deo mi je onaj oko refrena kada pevaju: oh oh oh - ono trčanje u mestu....i "isključivanje" na kraju je moćno.
Autfiti - crno-beli(i malo crvene), kao i sam video - lepo. Opet...Leo je..........!!! Ostaje misteriozan (ako niste sigurni koji je od njih Leo - glavni vokal, počinje da peva na 0:40). Nisam sigurna baš za Ravijevu kapu(?)...Ta stvar je užasna... Ali, dopada mi se njegova nova kratka kosa.
Jedna stvar je sigurna - Crni prinčevi (kako ih fanovi nazivaju) su se vratili.
Comebacksss...to many comebacksssss! Taemin's solo debut! (not a comeback...but...good song...therefore....'Danger' review) He is a member of Shinee, the maknae of the group (the youngest one). I'd say it is a successful debut. I like the song...now (at first I didn't like it at all...later on, it grew on me - stating the obvious). You will notice the 'Michael Jackson' vibe - those moves and the clothes... Taemin is a very very very passionate dancer, natural talent, music junkie - which you'll (also) notice throughout the video. Onto the MV! Outfits - decent ones, white hair - nice, black hair - nice...That thing in his nose I don't mind, but that weapon guitar - ??? (weapon is a no-no, it's a stupid invention anyway, unnecessary - it's not his fault, it's director's). Choreography - expressive; heavyeyemakeup - I like it; glances - seductive (he's so chic). (For those who are already familiar with other Shinee members - have you notice Jonghyun's influence at 1:39?..kkkkkkk). If you're interested in the lyrics - google/youtube! Taeminov solo debi (nije u pitanju comeback....ali...dobra pesma...prema tome....'Danger' rivju) On je najmlađi član grupe Shinee. Čini mi se da je debi ok - uspešan. Dopada mi se pesma...sada (u početku mi se nije svidela uopšte, kasnije mi je prirasla srcu - očigledno). Primetićete uticaj Majkl Džeksona - odeća i pokreti...Taemin je veoma veoma veoma strastveni denser, prirodni talenat, obožava muziku - što ćete, takođe, primetiti gledajući spot. Što se tiče spota!? Odeća - pristojna, bela kosa - lepo, crna kosa - lepo... Ta stvar u njegovom nosu mi ne smeta, ali ta oružje-gitara -??? (oružjabez moliću, to je i ovako glup pronalazak...nepotrebno skroz - ali nije njegova krivica, već režisereva). Koreografija - izražajna; teškašminkaokoočiju - sviđa; pogled - zavodnički (šik osoba skroz). (Za one kojima su poznati i ostali članovi grupe - Jeste li primetili Jonghyunov uticaj na 1.39?...hhahaha). Ako vas interesuje prevod - google/youtube!
Another 'Danger'. BTS is back with a song that I.....didn't like at first, but now I do(where have you heard this before....hmm?). Ok, after watching the MV, I was confused about one particular thing - What's V's and Jun's hobby? RapMon is all about writing the rap lines, or drawing the tattoos, or tattooing (I guess he's a man of many hobbies...), Jungkook plays the piano, J-Hope dances, Suga's playing basketball, Jimin's boxing...but what on the earth those two are doing - looking in the mirror(Narcissus) and setting fire(Pyromaniac). . . ok, then...let's move onto the less creepy things... I like the choreography, as well as the music and the lyrics( English sub available - yaaaay. Thanks 1theK, thanks). The outfits are ok - casual, normal clothes for normal people's frustrating love story - so we (all) can relate. In my opinion, BTS is in the Top5 kpop male groups when it comes to dancing( although I like the previous ones more then this...but yeah...good job, guys (I saw live performance, and they were breathless at the end of the song - respect, that's what I call- dedication). J-Hope all the waaaayyy (*winkwink). Još jedna 'Opasnost'. BTS su se vratili sa pesmom, koja....mi se nije svidela na prvo slušanje (gde li ste ovo već čuli...hmm?). Ok, nakon što sam odgledala spot, ostadoh zbunjena oko jedne stvari - Koji hobi imaju V i Jun? RapMon je posvećen pisanju rima...ili crta tetovaže...ili tetovira (čovek sa mnogo hobija, pretpostavljam), Jungkook svira klavir, J-Hope igra, Suga igra košarku, Jimin boksuje...ali šta, za ime sveta, rade ova dvojica - jedan se gleda u ogledalo(Narcis), drugi pali vatru iz zabave(Piroman). . . ok, onda....da pređemo na manje jezive stvari... Koreografija je super, kao muzika, a i tekst.. Autfiti su ok - opušteno, normalna odeća za frustrirajuće ljubavne probleme normalnih ljudi - tako da se svi možemo poistovetiti. Po mom mišljenju BTS su jedna od top5 muških kpop grupa kada je reč o densu (iako više volim koregrafije za prethodne pesme...ali svakako, svaka čast, dečaci (videh lajv nastup, na kraju pesme su svi bili iscrpljeni i bez daha - to ja zovem posvećenost). J-Hope jjang (migmig).
Are you tired already?...Endure! KARA is back with 'Mamma mia' after long long time. Last year( or this year....can't remember) two members of Kara left the group, but recently they added new member - maknae Youngji (2:00). Not much to say - I decided to mention them because they deserve it - they've been around for quite amount of years now...so I just wanted to support them (I love Kara's old songs). Keep you heads up, girls! Nicely done MV. They're pretty (stating the obvious again). Catchy song, I guess. Jeste li se umorili već?...Izdržite! KARA se vratla sa pesmom Mamma mia, posle dugo, dugo vremena. Prošle godine(ili ove godine...ne sećam se) dve članice su napustile grupu, ali nedavno je dodata nova članica - najmlađa Youngji (2.00). Nemam ništa posebno da kažem - odlučila sam da ih spomenem samo zato što su jedna od grupa koja je već duže vreme na kpop sceni - zaslužile su...i tako, čisto da ih podržim (volim njihove starije pesme). Glavu gore, devojke! Dobro urađen spot. One su prelepe (opet izjavljujem očigledno). Zarazna melodija..
And now...prepare yourself to ROFL! (note: This group is not an actual kpop group) BIG BYEONG ( witch means Big Bottle) is group formed through a variety/reality show where two MCs - Comedians are pretending to be producers (they are famous for some parody songs that they've made). Those 4 (poor) guys are actual members of real kpop groups, but they've been given new-funny names, and the rest is improvisation (yes, I know, it's probably all scripted, but...at least they made us thinking that they're winging it all the time..).With no further ado....STRESS COME ON (another song you can relate to) (real names/groups: Yookduck -Sungjae(BTOB), Wangkong -Jackson(GOT7), Hyukthy -Hyuk(VIXX), Dolbaggy -N(VIXX)) The lyrics...OMG!! A sada se pripremite za valjanje od smeha! (napomena: ovo nije prava kpop grupa) BIG BJONG (što znači- velika flaša) je grupa formirana kroz jedan šou gde se dva voditelja-komičara pretvaraju da su producenti (inače su poznati po nekim parodija pesmama od ranije). Ova 4 (jadnička) su, u stvari, članovi postojećih kpop grupa - ali su im data nova presmešna imena, i sve ostalo je improvizacija (dobro, znam, najverovatnije je sve iscenirano...ali ono..bar se trude da nam predstave sve kao improvizaciju i zabavu..). Ali, da ne dužim više...Stres komon (još jedna pesma sa kojom se svi možemo poistovetiti) (prava imena/grupe: Yookduck -Sungjae(BTOB), Wangkong -Jackson(GOT7), Hyukthy -Hyuk(VIXX), Dolbaggy -N(VIXX)) Ali tekst....Smejurija!
Guess who's back, back, back...back again... Not much happened in the world of kpop this week...I mean, nothing special...Few new songs, here and there, but no interesting comebacks (if you ask me...). In order not to skip this week's kpopthursday, I'll review one of the new songs that I heard and liked (instantly). Ništa se posebno nije desilo u kpop svetu, u protekloj nedelji...Mislim, ništa specijalno... Par novih pesama, tu i tamo...ali nijedan interesantan comeback (ako mene pitate...). Ali, da ne bismo preskočili kpopčetvrtak ove nedelje, evo jedne nove pesme koju sam čula, i koja mi se odmah svidela... So, there is this guy Leo from Vixx - mysterious little creature...He's Vixx's main vocal - super talented kiddo. I was very surprised when I saw teaser for this duet song, 'cause he's so shy and quiet. Even in the group he tend to avoid being in a spotlight. He doesn't talk to much, and rarely shows interest to be included in the other members activities - no wonder his nickname is Poker Face. But, like I said, he is very talented singer, good looking guy, and obviously very successful in keeping that image of a mysterious mystery (I wonder if that image was his choice or agency's?....hmm) Ovde imamo Lea iz Vixx-a, misteriozno jedno stvorenje... On je main vokal u Vixx-u...veoma talentovano dete. Bila sam prilično iznenađena kada je iskočio tizer za ovu duetsku pesmu, jer on je obično stidljiv i tih. Čak i u grupi, on je tip koji izbegava da bude u centru pažnje, i retko pokazuje interes da učestvuje u aktivnostima zajedno sa ostalim članovima - nije ni čudo što mu je nadimak PokerFace. Ali, kao što rekoh, veoma je talentovan pevač, lepo izgleda, i očigledno veoma uspešno nosi(?) taj imidž misteriozne misterije (..pitam se, da li je takav imidž njegov izbor, ili izbor kompanije?...hmm)
kpoppersstates.wordpress.com
The female singer is well-known kpop solo singer - she's one of the best R&B female vocals in kpop (fyi -She's not the girl from MV). Pevačica je poznati ženski R&B vokal u kpopu (napomena- ona nije ova devojka iz spota). I'll share English translation of the lyrics, cause it's difficult to explain it. Like the lyrics, the meaning of the song is very deep, I'd say... And the MV itself is complicated too. In my opinion, they've portrayed the difficulties that both characters are going through in their relationship. He is very concentrated on his work, and he's aware that he hurts her feelings... by not paying much attention on her. At the end, he is sad, 'cause she is gone (just like the other girls-mannequins that he loved). Because of his passion/obsession he keeps pushing away the one that he loves, but he can't stop, and the story repeats over and over again - he end up alone (I guess that's the meaning behind that creepy closet...or maybe, he's just psycho..). Podeliću ovde prevod teksta, jer ga teško intepretirati i objasniti. Takođe, njegovo značenje je veomo duboko, rekla bih...A i spot je prilično komplikovan. Po mom mišljenju, pokušali su da predstave teškoće kroz koje prolaze oba lika u njihovoj vezi. On je koncentrisan na posao, a istovremeno je svestan da time povređuje njena osećanja. Na kraju je tužan, jer ona ode (isto kao i druge devojke-manekeni, koje je voleo). Njegova strast-obsesija poslom i savršenstvom, udaljava ga od one koju voli, ali on ne može da prestane, i priča se ponavlja iznova i iznova svaki put - on ostaje sam (pretpostavljam da to značenje onog strašnog ormara...ili je on, jednostavno, psihopata...)
The goodbye trickles down your cheeks like blood Rastanak pada niz tvoje lice kao krv. Your lips asking why is so sad Tvoje usne pitaju - zašto je tako tužno No, don’t come, don’t make that face Ne, ne prilazi, ne pravi tu facu Just pass me by Samo prođi pored mene
The countless words of love that we’re whispered Te bezbrojne reči ljubavi, koje smo šaputali Our promises that are breaking instantly Obećanja koja bismo odmah prekršili No, this is a dream, your eyes are telling me Ne, ovo je san - tvoje mi oči govore Just hug me again Samo me zagrli još jednom
I loved you, I cared for you, that’s it Voleo sam te, brinuo sam za tebe, to je sve I loved you but now I hate you, Voleo sam te, ali sada te mrzim, that’s the one reason to je jedan razlog
You think I don’t know you? Misliš da te ne poznajem? You’re lying right now Ti sada lažeš You still love me, you’re still the same Još uvek me voliš, još uvek si isti
I don’t love you Ne volim te
He love me, he loves me not Voli me - ne voli me
I pick the flower petals as I endlessly cry Kidam latice cveta dok plačem The flower petals drench my feet Latice su prekrile moja stopala
Each petal that has fallen Svaka latica koja je pala Seems like us, making my heart ache Izgleda kao mi, čini da boli još više
Why did we have to break up? Zašto smo morali da raskinemo?
I loved you, I cared for you, that’s it Voleo sam te, brinuo sam za tebe, to je sve
(Don’t say that) (Ne govori to) I loved you but now I hate you, Voleo sam te, ali sada te mrzim, that’s the one reason to je jedan razlog
You think I don’t know you? You’re lying right now Misliš da te ne poznajem? Ti lažes sada You still love me, you’re still the same Još uvek me voliš, još uvek si isti
I was lonely every day Bio sam usamljen svakog dana From protecting you Dok sam te štitio
I’m sorry for the painful times Izvini zbog tih bolnih vremena I won’t lose you again Neću te opet izgubiti
Come into my arms now Zagrli me sada
I love you, I love you, that’s it Volim te, volim te, to je sve Even if my blackened and burned a heart explodes Čak i ako moje crno i spaljeno srce eksplodira
I’ll stay here now Ostaću ovde sada Because I have so much to do for you Jer imam toliko mnogo da uradim za tebe Because there’s so much I owe you Jer ti dugujem tako mnogo Because I’m so thankful Jer sam ti zahvalna
Let’s (Let’s) not grow apart (not grow apart) hajde da se rastanemo
She love me, she loves me not Voli me, ne voli me
I puck up the flower petals as I endlessly cry Skupljam latice cveta dok plačem
Hey, guys, it's Kpop Thursday! Wooohooo,yeah....uhm!!!! . . . (Am I the only one excited here...?) Let's jump into it... (I am afraid that this one is gonna be a longER one) Last week I said that I was really looking forward to Infinite's comeback. OMG. They didn't disappoint me... Let's start with that. So, you guys have seen the teaser last Thursday, and today we have a complete MV. Fasten your seat belts! Eeee, drugari, vreme je za kpopčetvrtak! Uuuuhuuuu, da, da...mhm!!! . . . (jesam li ja jedina uzbudjena zbog toga...?) Krećemo... (bojim se da će ovo biti poduži post) Prošle nedelje rekoh da jedva čekam novu pesmu od Infinite, podelih i tizer, a sada imamo i spot. Vežite se!
First - Story line of the mv --- Some bad dudes kidnapped the good guy's sister and...yeah...they need to save her. Lots of fighting scenes. There's no clear end of the story, but I guess Infinite won. On the other hand, lyrics aren't really connected to a story, which is nothing new, cause...Kpop. They want their girl(s) back, that's all. BUT, people, let's just take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous they are. Every member is looking gooood. My favorite, ofc, is Dongwoo (3:27 - Oh, director, why you didn't give him more screen time, WHY?). Anyway, I like the Russian alphabet/letters usage, cause it's similar to Serbian alphabet "Ćirilica" or "Ћирилица" (Cyrillic script). Look closely and you will see a pink sign with "бесконечный" on it, which mean "infinite" in English(0:54). Cool. Also, somehow I saw something even more interesting...I saw this, it may be a part of some written word on the wall, but...yeah...it does looks like SERB, doesn't it? (at 2:25,I see one more 'serb' on that wall... note: I usually don't watch kpop mv's so thoroughly, but interestingly that thing caught my attention...).
Pre svega - priča videa je sledeća--- neki loši momci kindapovaše sestru jednog od dobrih momaka, pa će oni, jelte, da je spasu. Mnogo scena tuče, čega nisam neki fan, ali hajde. Ni kraj nije u potpunosti jasan, ali pretpostavimo da su Infinite pobedili. Što se tiče teksta, nije povezan sa spotom, ali to je, recimo... normalno u kpopu. Poenta je da se obraćaju devojci, i mole je da se vrati...klasika. ALI, ljudi, hajde da izdvojimo trenutak da se divimo koliko su divni. Svaki član izgleda super, ali Dongwoo je Dongwoo (3.27 - šteta što je dobio tako malo kadrova). U svakom slučaju, jeste li primetili ruska slova, to mi se dopalo, jer liči na našu ćirilicu. Ako bolje pogledate, primetićete i rozi znak na kom piše "бесконечный", kao beskonačni - kao Infinite (0.54). Ali zapazila sam nešto još interesantnije... može biti da u pitanju samo deo neke reči napisane na zidu, ali meni se čini da vidim SERB na 2.25, i to čak dva puta napisano (inače, nisam baš neko ko traga za najsitnijim detaljima, ali eto, ovo mi je zapalo za oko).
Vocals - even rap members are really good singers. Props to them. Oh, and fashion - black is always the right choice, they're like perfect models for gang-ish attires. And the blue... costumes...good, not bad, stylish. There are two more moments to appreciate: 1. Dongwoo's haircut, and 2. Dance - believe me, when they perform it on stage, it looks awesome. Sadly, the MV doesn't show much of it. Loooove them!
Vokali - čak i reperi iz grupe pevaju odlično. Bravo, bravo. A stajlinzi - crna je uvek pravi izbor. Savršeni su modeli za tu vrstu banda-mode. A plavi kostimi, nisu loši, dobri su, stajliš. Još su dva momenta kojima ćemo se diviti: 1. Dongwoova frizura, i 2. Ples-koreografija - verujte mi, izgleda super kad je izvode na stejdžu. Nažalost, malo plesnih scena je prikazano u spotu. Divnoća su.
And check this out. This is Summer in a video. Block B is baaaack. After 9 months, finally, the goofy ones are back. They had their problems, but now they're ready for a new start. So, the tittle song is 'Her', like "that girl", but also, in Korean, there is a...let's say - slang word 'Heol' (pronunciation is similar to 'Her', and it has different meanings in different situations), but basically, it means... something like 'What the...". So when the guys see pretty or attractive girl, they're like - Heeeoool!!! The MV is so colorful, at the end of it, you'd be like - heol, what have I just saw! They change the outfits, props, and scenography, in a sec, so it's really hard for the eye to catch every detail. And Ostrich - why u so cute? :)))) Block B are such derps, you can't not love them. Just look at those faces and body movements...kkkkkk... crazy people. Chorus goes: "Jesus, there's no need for words. Everyone calls you a work of art. Just a little bit of you...." So cheesy and stupid, but they mean it. Zico's fast rapping...amazing. Ukwon's sweet voice, and P.O's deep baritone and the red/pink hair ofc... dashing!!!
A pazite sad ovo. Ovo je leto u videu. Block B su se vratili. Posle 9 meseci, konačno, ludaci su se vratili. Imali su neke probleme, ali su spremni za novi početak. Naslov pesme je "Her", kao "ta devojka", ali foraa je u tome što na korejskom postoji jedna, recimo, sleng reč "Heol", izgovara se 'Hol', pa zvuči slično kao Her - ima više značenja i izgovora, u zavisnosti od situacije. Na srpskom bi to bilo nešto kao 'Vau' (dobro da, to je engleska reč, ali mi je isto koristimo da izrazimo osećanja). U ovom slučaju, kada momci primete lepu i zgodnu devojku, u fazonu su Hoool...akcenat na o. Spot je dosta šaren, na kraju ćete se pitati - Hol, šta sam ovo upravo pogledao :). Menjaju odeću, rekvizite, scenografiju u sekundi, pa je prilično teško za oko da pohvata sve detalje. A noj - presladak je. BlockB su pravi krelci, ne možete da ih ne volite. Samo pogledajte te face, i pokrete....kkkkkk...ludi ljudi. E a refren ide: 'Isuse, nema potrebe bilo šta reći. Svi te zovu umetničkim delom'... Prostački i glupo, ali oni su ozbiljni. Zikovo brzo repovanje...rispekt. Jukvonov mili glas, i Piov duboki bariton, divota...i crvena-roza kosa, naravno!!!
This girls are back with "Touch my body". I won't say a word, except they're my favorite kpop girl group. Girls of "Sistar" know singing, dancing, being cute and sexy. The can pull off any concept. Enjoy.
Ove devojke su se vratile sa pesmom Touch my body. Neću reći ništa, osim da su mi omiljena ženska kpop grupa. Sistar znaju i pevanje, i ples, i da budu slatke i seksi. Mogu izvesti uspešno bilo koji koncept. Uživajte.
What day is it today? KpopThursday day...? Solo day...? How about both! Unlike previous ones (reviews), I'll try to make this one shorter. It's Summer (ICYDK)!!!!...And we have summerish kpop comebacks... Oh, what a surprise! This happens every year. Light songs - Summer hits... Love life - themes...Lots of colors. Happiness! (let's skip quality ranking of following songs....cause summer) Girls Day are back with one of those playful 'let's enjoy summer' concepts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB4dQcxgJPY). "Darling" is really cute song, and 4 girls are pretty and sweet as always. But, let's talk about B1A4 ( one member is blood type B, and the rest are A types...that's the meaning behind the group's name). So, it's a 5 members group, and they are back with "Solo Day".
When you broke up with someone...you're not dead, you're just solo!...enjoy it - is basically what they're singing about. Lyrics are cool, the enthusiasm of it... it's contagious, probably would make you feel a little bit better if you're going through a break up, and possibly help you to get over it. It goes: "I couldn't stop the breakup...Now I'm going to enjoy...I'm going to enjoy the breakup...Solo, solo day...I feel especially great today...Don't bother me"... And the whistling make the song sounds even more carefree and fancy-free! The video is what I like the most. Breaking the routine is what makes you feel good and unlimited. So, these 5 guys realized that, and decided to stop being desperate, and to start all over. Not sure what that UFO means. Maybe - life is short, don't waste it, you can be taken away (by the aliens..) today... so, do not waste your time being depressed. Kkkkk :) My favorite members are CNU(obsession guy) and Baro(space geek), but JinYoung(couch potato) is cute too..You need to watch the video to understand those nicknames. Anyways, I also like the stylings - they look like normal guys, no futuristic costumes or vampire attires. Like I said, it's a summerish song, so beach is included, also driving, wind in the hair, and a cute dog. Oh yeah, spot the baby at 2:51...so cuuuuuteee!! That's it... I like the song, but I'm not crazy about it. It's good, it's good...cause summer! :)
But, next week (or these following days (not sure when))...INFINITE makes a comeback. I'm really, really, really looking forward to it... Check the teaser....Wuaaaaaaw...."Can you save me"...Yes, I can (not).
Ok, this week we have something old, yet new. Something blue and black, but not really blue and black - colorful...You've read it right....keep reading...
So, there is this group that made comeback after 9 years...Crazy! G.O.D (not God - Groove Over Dose..funny) is one of the 1st generation of kpop idols. After disbanding(2005/6), the members have gone to solo careers, but thanks to Hallyu - Korean Wave fever (I guess), they decided to reunite.
First of all - I know that this group was a big thing back then, but I discovered kpop in 2010, so I'm not that familiar with their work, which makes this review even more interesting. I'm sure that g.o.d's fans are thrilled and happy to see them after a long hiatus. Let's dive into this old-new comeback!
Ahahahahhahahahahah....so stupid, and so cooool. Love it. Ok, the song itself is summerish. The lyrics are pretty much summed up in the tittle of the song, but for me, the music video is HILARIOUS. It follows their own story -5 old friends meet up after a long time, quickly informs each other about- how they've been, what are they doing...and ofc end up going into a club...to have fun....like in the good old days :). How brave of them to come back with this concept, and not with something like...serious... and boring. They make fun of themselves, and they are ok with it..cause now they are mature (not old). My favorite is the "12years before" part, when they can't wait for their hit songs to start, and when they do...members dance like crazy, wanting all attention on them. I think it's extremely amusing :). LET'S HAVE FUN (again), is what they asking for from the old and future fans. So cool... "Just trust oppa and follow me..."..so cheesy, yet entertaining. Dance?...ahm...ahm....I'll just have to wait for the live performance to see what is all about, but I'm afraid that it would be interestingly cheesy as well :). Oh, yeah.. I can recognize few members from some programs and shows in which they've been in, but somehow...the white-(unfamiliar to me)-haired member has caught my eye. Because of the unstoppable craziness, I'm gonna support those 5 young-grandpas-oppas. You guys still rock!!
On the other side...we have some young-young blood. CCLOWN made comeback..Yaaay! This group is not that successful...yet!!! I'm really hoping that they will make it big... eventually...They are hardworking-talented-underrated kpop group, and that makes me mad/sad. For this comeback...I'd say I like the previous songs better, like "Far away" or "Shaking Heart" are more appealing to me, but this one is not bad at all - don't get me wrong - it's just I'm not satisfied with the MV (music video always caught(or not) your attention first - and this is not one of those hypnotizing ones). Blame on company - Sort that money in a better way. Done (with a scolding)! Danceeeeeee...cclown knows what DANCE is...they enjoy/live it! Especially Rome(the guy at 1.48). Really liking the choreography and the moves - strong/effective. Speaking of strongness...lyrics are strong too. I'm not sure, would I like it, if someone were telling me those lines. I'd be like - go away, you possessive freak! I'm kidding...(not really). Maybe if he says it romantically...with a sweet voice...idk...Some of the lines-"Let's love, You match well with me (I'm right),I'm attracted to you, Right now it's you (you,you,you), You match well with me, The other guys (all of them) Tell them to get lost (lost,lost. lost), Because I like you...". Is it command or (very confident) love confession?? ...Oh...cclown...no matter what...I will always support you, just hang in there...and wait for the chance to shine!! About atractivness, and nice voices (T.K.. deep), I should not talk, I should enjoy it. Maknae (Maru) is not a joke. That's all. Take a look.and evaluate.
As always...you can find eng sub on yt...to understand more...
