Galileo Galilei - Aoi Shiori

It is really hard to find this song, in its original sound from Galileo Galilei. But I finally made it. 

I heard the song, the first time when I watched the new anime "Ano hi mita Hana no namae wo bokutachi wa mada shiranai". (Yeah, its a long title - so you can shorten it down to just "Ano Hana". I do...) 

The Anime is still on-going, and is about six childhood friends who grown apart with time.
Jintan, the main protagonist, is a shut-in person nowadays. He have to change from that, when he meets Menma, the only one of the childhood friends who hasn't change trough time, in her ways. To grant her wish, he have to reunite their old group of friends again, and go through a lot for him self.

Anyhow, I feel in love with the opening song for the anime.

Galileo Galilei - Aoi Shiroi

Hope it works now. And that you like it too.
Enjoy.

B1A4

A new group debuted now in 2011, in April. And i must say, they do have a lot of charisma. Probably why I fell in love with them, the instant I saw them on M countdown. And who can not fall in love with the song O.K - It is a total summer tune, you just wanna shake your entire body along with. 

Try listen to it, without dancing?
B1A4 - O.K (2011)

Are you not sitting with the biggest smile on your face right now? Your not? ... Shame on you. *blink*

B1A4 is named that way, because of the members having one person with blood type B, and four persons with blood type A. So from that you can guess how many people the group holds. 

JinYoung (Jung Jin Young) is the leader and lead vocalist, born in 1991. He is blood type A

CNU (Shin Dong Woo) is vocalist and rapper, born in 1991. Blood type A. 

Sandeul (Lee Jung Hwan) is main vocalist, born in 1992. Blood type A. 

Baro (Cha Sun Woo) is main rapper, born in 1992. Blood type B. (woho there is the B) 

Gongchan (Gong Chan Shik) is vocalist, born 1993 and therefor the youngest one. With blood type A of course. 

You cant find much info about them right now, since they are very new. Some cute guys with a lot of charisma and great tunes, that I look forward to see more of - anyhow. 

And finishing of with a calmer song -

B1A4 - Only one (2011)

 Listen to their whole album - Lets fly. 

 

BEAST/B2ST

So, Beast came out with a new album not long ago ... and in my opinion it was great. 

They proved it right by winning in all the music shows (M countdown, Music bank, Music core, Inkigayo etc) last week, with the song "Fiction". 

Beast, originally known as B2ST (but they changed it), is a South Korean boyband with six members.  They debuted in 2009. BEAST stands for Boys of East Standing Tall.

Yoon Doo Joon is the leader, vocalist and rapper, born in 1989.

Jang Hyun Seung is the lead vocalist and lead dancer, born in 1989. (He was actually preparing to debut in Big Bang, but wasn't chosen, because he wasn't ready.) 

Yong Jun Hyung is the main rapper and also born in 1989. (I love his hair right now)

Yang Yo Seob is the main vocalist and born in 1990. 

Lee Gi Kwang is vocalist and main dancer, born in 1990.

And the youngest member born in 1991, Son Dong Woon who is vocalist and rapper.
(I think I have a disease for people named Lee... And an attraction for the youngest ones in groups... I need to cure my diseases ... or not.)

Beast - Fiction and Fact came out in may this year.

I have listened to Fiction so much that I'm kind of tired of it already. But I will surely listen to it again and again later on. 

Beast - Ficton (Fiction and Fact album 2011)

Listen to Fiction (Orchestra version) too.

And probably one of my favorite calm tunes -

Beast - On rainy days (비가 오는 날엔) (Fiction and Fact album 2011)

No MV *sadface*

Ans also, an older one from them as well.
Beast - Shock (Shock of the new era album 2010)

[Korean Movie] 71: Into the fire

I am going to write this, while it is still fresh in mind. 

I just saw this amazing movie, that brought me to tears and the biggest admiration.

71: Into the Fire (Korean 2010), is based on a real story. It is about the bravery that 71 student-soldier, trainees, demonstrated during the Korean war in 1950.
Oh Jung Bum, played by Choi Seung-hyun more known as T.O.P (Big bang), is a young man forced to experience war. He is assigned the big part of being the commander of 70 other students, without any former practice.  

They are left by themselves, in a school, to protect the final line of defense. - While the others are fighting the war elsewhere. 

Ku Kap-jo, played by Kwong Sang-woo, was a student convicted of murder. He served his sentence as a soldier in war. No one of the students really realized that is was in fact real, until they got a surprise attack from a small group of North Korean soldiers. While a much bigger threat is laying ahead. 

They have to fight to survive, teenagers who needs to gather their courage together and fight the grown-ups war. To protect their country.

You will see the conflicts and emotions, displayed between young man - while making difficult decisions. A big brother shooting his own little brother, to end his pain and misery. A friend, burying his best friend in the ground. A teenager soldier, losing his life to protect the others. A courage boy, taking a bullet instead of his friend - "because his friend is a better fighter". A commander, growing with his assignment of leading them and fighting to the very end.

 They fought an impossible war, but thanks to them they delayed the North side with eleven hours. 

It is an incredible touching movie, that I think everyone should take their time for. Because it is worth it. You can definitely feel the pain and sorrow. I think the emotions shows throughout the movie and gets to its core, in the end. Really displaying the courage and greatness, of these teenagers. 

Choi Seung Hyun (T.O.P) is pretty new in acting. And of course, he is not perfect. But he most definitely got the painful look in his eyes. I could feel what he felt. So, I would say that he did an amazing work with this. He said himself, that he was in character out of screen too. And felt the pain of Oh Jung Bum. I think that improved a lot.

71:Into the fire, English trailer ~

Lolli, lolli, lollipop, there's a lot of lollipop

Lollipop is spreading... 

Cause, who doesn't like a lollipop eehh? 

We start of with Big Bang and 2NE1's Lollopop (2009)

And then we proceed with Big Bang's own Lollipop pt. 2 (2010)

Also, f(x) and M.I.C (Chinese version) Lollipop (2010)

And moving on to f(x) ft. SHINee's Lollipop (2011) No MV *sadface*

>

So... Big Bang helped 2NE1 to debut, through the LG phone - lollipop commercial, in 2009. The commercial went so well with Big Bang and 2NE1, that the company wanted to try it out in China too. And then it was f(x)'s turn to "help" or promote the new Chinese band M.I.C, in the Chinese LG phone commercial.

Than after that Big Bang have continued with another LG commercial, lollipop pt.2. With different lyrics and sound. And f(x) did another Korean version with SHINee.

Which one do you like the most?

2NE1

2NE1 is a South Korean hiphop/pop girlsgroup, with 4 members. They debuted in "Lollipop" with Big Bang, in 2009. 2NE1 is supposed to be read as 21, or "to anyone" but I hear different versions everywhere. All of the members have done solo careers.

CL (Lee Chae Rin) born 1991, who is the leader and main rapper.  
Minzy (Gong Min Ji) born 1994, who is the lead vocalist, lead rapper and main dancer. And also the youngest in the group.
Bom (Park Bom) born 1984, who is the main vocalist.  
Dara (Sandara Park) born 1984, who is vocalist and rapper.

.

They have given out a new single, a couple of days ago, around 12th of may. I like it a lot... It has a calm and nice tune to it. Really gets your heart, well.. at least mine. 

2NE1 - Lonely (2011)

I really adore Park Bom and CL:s voices. 

And speaking of Park Bom, who also have given out a new solo. Her voice is seriously amazing. 

Park Bom - Dont cry (2011)

And to finish it of, and end it with a favorite of mine ~

2NE1 - Go away (To Anyone album 2010)

Where CL gets the highlight and comes out really well. The lyrics and MV goes right to my heart.

2NE1 - Don't stop the music (Promotional single 2010, 2nd mini album 2011)

  

 2NE1 - Clap your hands (2010)

I really like the choir of this one. I do the clapping like a geek too, which starts in 01.00 into the video.

It became more than just one favorite there, didn't it. I still got "Try to follow me", which I didn't really like at first, but I guess it grows on you. And also "You & I" etc...
But if you like 2NE1 you've already heard it. And if you are new in 2NE1's world... then you should check out the other songs too.

Dark hours

I was very close to start writing about myself, right about now, but stopped in time.
I did have two other blogs before, and people who wasn't supposed to read anything about me, found it.
You can call them stalkers. 

So I stopped writing about myself at all at that time, and my blog kind of died. I kept writing small poems and other topics that had nothing to do with myself. And on the other blog I wrote only about anime... but I didn't have the drive to keep going with either one.

I also ended other memberships on sites and finally created new ones, to be anonymous.

I've started to talk about myself a bit more but not really to the fullest, I would say. And I probably never will again. 

 No one will notice...

I have this really big urge to just let things out right now though. 

This is the start of something good, hopefully... but also something scary as hell. My pain is growing for every minute, and starting to get to a dangerous zone.
I have never ever talked about it before, my mum didn't even know.  I am really good at keeping things shut inside and not showing anything on the surface. And now I have taken the step to get some real help... That is a really small step for others perhaps..., but a really HUGE step for myself. And I really hope that I wont break ... and just grow from it. 

And later... Later i can proceed with my future and dreams. To learn the Korean and Japanese language completely and became a bridge between our different languages. And also too move to South Korea and leave this boring country, I'm living in. 

I AM going to move forward! 

Every path is the right path. Everything could have been everything else, and it will have just as much meaning.
