INFINITE is making a comeback and my post about this is so late. I’m sorry, Inspirits who might be reading this. I want to say that before I really get into this post, it’s not just a post regarding the song & MV, but an actual post involving the whole album because honestly, I am in love with at least 90% of this album, really. Now, in regards to the   Read More ...

One thing that I love about JYJ no longer being bound by an entertainment company is their ability to experiment with music. It lets them as musicians learn what does and doesn’t work. It lets them grow and be creative. My favorite songs inevitably end up being the songs that are written, composed and arranged by the artist, not some random song writer. And that usually means my favorite albums   Read More ...

Can Traci write an unbiased article about JYJ’s Kim Junsu’s new video/song Tarantellegra? Why yes, yes she can. Tarantellegra. Oh my god, Junsu says that so fast. I can’t even sing along to it. Total tongue twister. The lyrics to Tarantellegra were written by Junho (that’s Junsu’s twin brother if you didn’t know). The music was composed and arranged by Junsu. It features Flowsik from Aziatix, and a dance team   Read More ...

Voted Best Female Rookie at the (always questionable) 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards, I throw my hands up in exasperation and shout “WHY?!” Yes WHY?? Why should I give a – about A Pink? Well, this story is about how I didn’t like them at first. I scoffed at them, rolled my eyes at their all-too obvious attempt to market themselves with aegyo and then found myself dumbfounded at how   Read More ...

Yeah, I might have to go to the E.R. after seeing this picture. Left to right: Youngwon, Daniel, Inati, Jeesu and Simon When I first read the Wikipedia page for the Kpop group Dalmatian, I started laughing. Their entertainment company is called Monkey Funch Entertainment. What the … then I read that MFE also manages MC Mong, and that makes everything better, because MC Mong is awesome. Dalmatian is another   Read More ...

“Cute” is about the highest level of compliment that I can give to this new group. I much prefer their older sister group After School’s debut “AH” compared with this debut. The style of the song has nothing to do with the strength of their debut, it’s the fact that “Venus” isn’t conveyed very well. I know it. You know it. We all know this could have been better. “Venus”   Read More ...

Now this is what I’m talking about. When the first teaser was released, this is what I was expecting. Everyone needs to learn from this video teaser. This is how you do a music video teaser. I’ve seen some teasers that didn’t even sound like the song it was promoting. What I can assume to be the intro to the new song is played while beautiful men and women do   Read More ...

Have you been endlessly searching for some music that’s out of this world? Galaxy7 may be exactly what you’re craving. To put this solo project runner Daisuke Tsutsui’s creations into perspective, if Space Mountain at Disney World found the need to install a bar and equipped itself with a couple of bouncers―ultimately turning into a night club―the same atmosphere derived from Galaxy7’s tracks would be the prevailing essence there. The   Read More ...

A teaser picture announcing the first single of Junsu’s debut album was released a couple days ago (points up). The album will be called “XIA.” I keep seeing people freaking out over the fact that it is not called “XIAH” which is what we are all used to. I’ve seen various reasons for this up to and including that Junsu doesn’t want to be connected with SM Entertainment that way,   Read More ...
