MADTOWN - baietii rai sunt in oras

Format din 7 tineri baieti, Moos, Dae Won, Lee Geon, Jota, Heo Jun, Buffy si HO, noul rookie group MADTOWN intra in scena kpop, cu piesa de debut "YOLO" de pe primul lor album ce va fi lansat pe 8 octombrie. MADTOWN este al doilea grup de baieti pe care agentia J Tune Camp il lanseaza, primul fiind MBLAQ care a debutat in urma cu 5 ani.
J Tune Camp spune ca cei 7 baieti sunt foarte talentati si au trecut prin pregatiri seriaose pentru a-si perfectiona aptitudinile vocale si de dans. Si desi sunt la debut, membrii au contribuit la realizarea albumului scriind versuri, la partea de coregrafie, oferind talentele lor muzicale si de artisti, de asemenea.
"YOLO", piesa de debut este produsa de Shin Hyuk (Zumbas Music), care a mai lucrat si a contribuit la multe hit-uri in kpop ( EXO "Growl", Shinee "Dream Girl" s.a.) si ilustreaza perfect numele grupului, MADTOWN, care semnifica pasiunea, lipsa de griji, dragostea pentru muzica si placerea de a te bucura de fiecare clipa.
MV-ul "YOLO"  reprezinta individualitatea si aspectul fiecarui membru (HO, Lee Geon, Moos, Jota, Buffy, Heojun și Daewon), moda lor de street style, expresii faciale rautacioase si miscarile de dans fiind impresionante, de asemenea.

Amintindu-mi de "I'him" a lui Mino de la WINNER, cred ca avem un nou minicurent in hip-hop, cu baieti rai, catei neaparat, atitudine gen "lumea-i a mea si nu-mi pasa de nimic".
Primul mini-album MADTOWN va fi lansat pe 8 octombrie vor avea primul lor stadiu la Mnet M COUNTDOWN data de 9 octombrie.

Unde gasim Vampire's Flower (뱀파이어의 꽃)?

Miniseria [foarte mini :-)] Vampire's Flower se bazeaza pe romanul "Challenge League" (뱀파이어 의 꽃) scris de Shin Ji Eun (신지은), si a fost foarte popular pe Naver in 2013, fiind denumita si Korea's Twilight Saga.
Tanarul vampir Louis vine printre oameni pentru a cauta o anume florea care l-ar putea ajuta sa devina lordul vampirilor. El se indragosteste de Seo Young, o eleva de liceu, care il ajuta in cautarile lui. Care este pretioasa floare pe care o gaseste Louis? Sic!! Nu va spun :-))) Puteti vedea aici dragalasa miniserie, in care, alaturi de Kim Ga Eun (Seo Young), il puteti urmari pe patru dintre membri boy-band-ului A-JAX: Seo Jae Hyung (Louis), Kim Hyung Gon (Reka), Lee Seung Yu (Baek Han) si  Moon Hyo Joon (Akan)

Si ca orice kdrama care se respecta, Vampire's Flower are o coloana sonora minunata, OST-ul principal fiind interpretat chiar de A-JAX

Dar... dar (se pare ca azi sunt carcotasa rau si mi se par multe) piesa are masuri bune care mie imi par aproape identice cu melodia "Wrong Number" a celor de la TVXQ.

Himm, trebuie sa ma gandesc la lucruri mai serioase... Cum spunea Codruta Sali, poate tomnesc deja :-))

Jung Dong Ha - inainte de debut ne-am pocit si noi putin?

Dupa despartirea de Boohwal, Jung Dong Ha va lansa primul sau album solo pe 8 octombrie!
Albumul a fost inregistrat intre 24 si 26 august la Los Angeles, la Ocean Way Studio si West Lake Studio.
Partea instrumentala beneficiaza de nume grele, printre ei numarandu-se bateristul John JR Robinson (care a mai inregistrat alaturi de Michael Jackson, Madonna, Daft Punk sau Quicy Jones), basistul Alex Al (a mai inregistrat cu Lionel Ritchie, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder) si chitaristul  Brent Paschke (de la Pharrell Williams)

Altfel nu mi-e clar daca JDH a decis ca, pe langa cariera, sa-si mai aranjeze si fata...

Cu suisuri, dar si cu coborasuri, cu proiecte individuale, cu despartiri (Brian Joo a suferit la un moment dat pentru ca imaginea lui Hwanhee era mai mult promovata) dar si cu impacari, Fly to the Sky, primul duo de R&B coreean, s-a reunit in luna mai 2014, dupa o pauza de 5 ani, semnand cu H2 Media si editand al 9-lea album, "Continuum".

Secret Love Affair (밀회) - Her Letter (English version)

For you things may be easy, but I will be the one who will pay for this sin in my next life. Because I answered to your love , people will make me to pay for it in this life. For this I'm afraid. For you.  For us.  Forgive me because I am greedy… I want all that I have and something more … I want you.

Every day you've teach me something. From me own being was molded another one, vulnerable with fragile ankles and soft knees. I face new overwhelming sensations, that I live intensely and I enjoy them until their last breath. I look for clock whose ticking I want to stop it, to keep the joy of thought and to stop looking for time-relativity meaning...

Time…. put on pan balance measure my years, it presses my shoulders and I feel how my life is running through the hourglass. You're the one who had the courage to brake it, spreading his discharge in thousands of fragments. I often locked myself in my own brain and just as many times I refused to get out of there. But temptations make me touch things in this world without having to think. Only time zero is priceless. And find no equation to apply my consciousness ...

We could live in a timeless disguise? To kill time? I started out by stabbing the present and throw myself into the arms of the future. I want to bite. Powerful. Demonic. I want to bite from the love who leaking. Both breathe at night, hiding in it, to remain deaf to what is beyond, thirsty, sip avidly, to drown in it , losing control...

I love it when the night watching on us, it vibrates in us and twitching in the sheets with traces of sin. Sleeping near the love candle whom I dropped on your chest. To get you out of your mind until the last breath of ecstasy and taste you again in the dawn light.

I love you so wrong and imperfect ... Innocently, naively, you anchored in your universe and you love me like no one else did. You left me to believe that perfection can exist somewhere on a mattress in a certain room. You broke my heart and then fed me with your love ...

Still crying. For I have not forgiven all demons and fight with times of my life. It seems that present is mocking me I should not give a damn about the past ... But the past overwhelms me, this would bury me and will put obstacles in the future. And I'm afraid. Shadows of the past include present, without giving a chance to the future. Because I might wake up the hell from love . And because I am greedy… I want all that I have and something more … I want you. Because you left me to believe that perfection can exist somewhere ...

Secret Love Affair (밀회) - His Letter (English version)

Never let me fall in the night that stars forgot to shine. Get me, fully hug me, let me naked of my thoughts and cover me with you. Let your soul surrounds me with arms of love, drop the veil of desire, show me your love, and allow the secrets of passion to embrace you.

Let me caress your silky hair, let me learn your equal and gentle rhythm of breathing, let me get drunk with the scent of your skin … Kiss my lips that recognize you and whisper you so well that I can reinvent you from my thoughts, tears,  passion, and longing and love ...

Read my eyes and respond me with your lips. Sip my whispers before being spoken. Empty me off you and fill my thirst. Heaven and earth, water and fire are one ... I want to send you every one of my thoughts, to be able to understand every smile of yours who crash deep inside me like a wave, always knowing you there, to be your start and your end ...crowded thoughts running and breaking my silence, while you sleep in there shade when time is no longer measured...

In the morning, carefully gather me from your dusty thoughts and breathe me easily ... Let me show you the first ray of sunshine through my eyes. For a moment, for a moment only, to fly together far from reality... And just for a moment for you to be me, to live with my soul, to feel my heart bit, to watch through my eyes... to understand how hard it is living without you ...

Among the blink of my eyelashes I see white butterflies dancing... To tell you how much I love you?... Totally and eternally. I love you without words, in every second, in anxiety, in pain. Honest and courageous. I love you because I had you in reality, in my dreams, in my ideals… but that was too short. We have not finished our dance of life.

Secret Love Affair (밀회) - Love letter (English version)

Fate doesn’t give you any notice or warning. We live in a continuous present and the time is getting shorter and shorter until the end…. Rich or poor, our spirits travel in this life with hope that we can find the code to the safe. Can we tell what’s inside?

Our World is shaken and our quiet corner is assaulted ... Our infected souls, apparently numb, bewildered, seeking their true nature, are groping in search of perfection. We're here, I’m dumped not far from your thoughts and you are wandering through mine… Our Inside is an explosion of questions, dreams, fears ... We should stop searching for our beauty, for our love, for ourselves …. We already found us!

A quiet game… our quiet game...we feel and live forbidden feelings, hidden passions.  It's like a revelation. We blindly sign a life check to keep this magic and unique moment. We fumble in the dark, prisoners of a limited consciousness. We stayed on the edge of the abyss, old traumas rocking us in their will. Now, we  ask ourselves how much courage do we need to jump with confidence into it.

We're two birds with broken wings; still together we could fly…Two troubled souls, tired to look for the right path...And all of this until you and I become us, because you're half of me and I'm half of you.  Fate ... Divine Plan ... It pushes us into this abyss. So far we have lived an illusion, past still keeps us prisoners of our lack of knowledge.

It's never too early, because it may be too late. Universe gone crazy and seems to have lost his balance. Scared, with trembling knees, we fear that we would leave this world carrying with us the wealth found in the next life. Is this a must? Beyond those waves of mess the important thing is that we found each other in this overwhelming and perfect time.

We are used to live in fear, with eyes closed and ears covered we run in the opposite direction and live a life in fear under the burden of social identity.But our substance is itself the energy of love. Let's throw our masks… Let’s be ourselves and find our true essence…Let’s expand our dreams and go beyond them. The sky speaks to us through his sparkle drops and I miss hearing the echo of your heart. There is never less from too much. Let’s start our journey together and fade away...
