Again, I'd like to thank [info]meccamputech for helping me out on getting this single. Thanks so much once again bb, even though this is not your purchase, you are still the best, can't believe there's someone as kind as you in this world. ♥♥♥

ALRIGHT. Can you believe it's almost 7th already? This year is going on fast as hell. And here's the ah... second important release of the year (first was autotunegirl's solo). ZE:A or Child Of Empire (name that I loved, they should have kept it) is finally debuting after many financial issues that put their label, Star Empire, dancing on the fire. Judging the songs themselves, there's nothing really new or fresh on their sound. It sounds like all the boybands now, autotuned and hot tracks. Don't expect something old school, this is just like 2PM and BEAST stuff. Again: I am not saying that they are no good, just saying that the songs have nothing new or especially noticeable, though I think they're catchy enough to bring some success to the group.

First of all, my internet is finally here ZOMG. I love this laptop so much omgg. Second, I'd like to thank [info]meccamputech for buying this to me. It was impossible to find a true 320kbps quality of this single, seriously.

"Love Has Some Bitter Ends..." is Nadia's new digital single and the last one of a digital-single-trilogy. For those of you who still don't know what the heck is Nadia, they are an experimental/electropop group that debuted at SM Entertainment this year. You probably heard the girl's cover of Kara's "Mister" at Youtube already. "Love Has Some Bitter Ends..." goes to slower and more R&B-influenced songs than mind-blowing Electropop like "Twinkling Boy". The songs are sophisticated and delicate, with an amazing instrumentation that sounds like those New York indie artists or something like Little Boots (but in a very moderate way, don't jump off the bridge). Out of the three, my favorite is "missing U" with is pure candy to ears. Starts in a very slow tempo and ends powerfully. You need to listen to this, one day you'll need a breath of fresh air out of all the ridiculously autotuned and dance songs that K-Pop music industry always give to us.

WHAT. Am I listening right? 4minute doing a rock song! WHAT. "Dreams Come True" is fucking amazing omg. It suits their voices so much and YES NO AUTOTUNE. WHAT. I'm really surprised that I forgot to describe what this is about. It's the soundtrack single for drama God Of Study that just started airing. I think we'll get even more singles soon. Who's this guy, Ernest? His song is amazing and her voice is so good. Also, T-ara Jiyeon's song is gorgeous. I used to hate this chick but she's grown into me a lot especially because of her voice.

NOTE: I've put commas instead of dots in the album name, please change it.

Self-described as "a little community with a lot of rage," you can soak up impassioned vibes and read blistering exposes detailing sexist attitudes in the news, pop culture, and science! A must-join community if you are, or love, a feminist. (NB: the topic of whether a "man" can be a feminist is outside the scope of this spotlight, but will probably wind up on the Writer's Block.)
As some of you may know, I bought a new laptop weeks ago and I have no internetz on it yet so updates may be slow now. I have to use my old computer to use internet and it sucks, it freezes so much, I hate this bitch. Also, I was planning to post Nadia's last single here but true 320kbps hasn't surfaced anywhere yet. :o This is what new year and holidays do to people.

HyunA, also known as the attention whore from 4minute, the slutty girl of that-autotuned-songs-group, and ex-member of Wanda Garls releases her first solo single in collaboration with Yong Jun Hyung from B2ST. Cube Entertainment already announced that she'll be releasing an album soon, as well as Jiyoon. They also said that this song has no autotune. Is it true? Are your ears ready to be hurt so much that they'll decay? It's serious! /scared Well, at least, bitch is pretty as hell. Yeah, I haven't listened to it.

You know how Meisa is. Bitch can't sing but she's puriti gal and her songs are cool as hell. Bitch music killa. BTW Total credits to [info]calledinvain for the rip.

PS: To those who are asking about Music Station Super Live download (I'm maximizing one post. Anyway, I'm going to delete this part after all those music specials) 

> Yes, I'm going to upload it. HD-AVI format. No TS. It's 26GB and it will take me thousand of years to finish uploading that.
> When? I don't know. The files are giving me a huge headache. Apparently there's a problem on the first part of the file. Still fixing it. So please be patient. I have some other works too. I'm no expert in converting video formats and my internet is not the best connection. 
>I know there a lot of people around here in LJ who post cuts of different performances so it's not my top priority to provide cuts. My top priority is to put up the whole show (same goes with Japan Record Awards, Kouhaku and CDTV SP). I'll do all the cuts request after I post CDTV SP.

HELL YEAAAAH! The queen of J-Pop Ayumi Hamasaki's new single is out alreadey. "You were... / BALLAD" is a completely winter-themed release, from the gorgeous covers to the songs themselves. Title track "You were...", which is the Japanese theme for Disney Tinkerbell movie, sounds like a Christmas-influenced song but is still too similar to "Together When..." imo. The verses and choruses are beautiful but they're all very predictable, we know what will happen on the entire song. And that's why this remains as my less-played-new-Ayu-song, it feels a bit odd and dated after some plays. On other hand we have "BALLAD", a traditional and Enka styled song, which is full of awesome. More like an epic and classical version of "GREEN", but of course in a slower tempo. I love it a lot. "RED LINE - for TA" is amazing, her vocals sound very good (no endless vibratos!) and the arrangement sounds like a mix between "A Song for xx" and "Daybreak". Overall, it's a nice change from the first tracks. New versions of "You were..." (note that the vocals in this mix is different than the original one) and "Sunset - LOVE is ALL" are also damn good. Except for the main track, this single is A++ for your collection.

Hey guys, forgot to wish you all a Merry Christmas, but dammit, who still cares about it? (mine was kind of shitty so I'm in a total Grinch mood)

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YES. One of my favorite bands, F.I.R. releases a new album, "Let's Smile", almost two years after the last album's, "Love Diva", release. I was extremely surprised when this popped out in my Friends' page some days ago. Unfortunately, the quality was like shit so I finally managed to find cd-rip quality! GOOOOOOOOOD, I'm so excited to listen to this but I can't atm. I'm still sending all of my files here to my new laptop and I still haven't even sent 10% of everything that is here. But this album won't suck, you should download it asap.
