HIME-DREAMS has been taken over. I have changed the site into something more suitable for the site contents. Instead of Hime-Dreams which roughly translates to Princess-Dreams. The site is now known as S-KOREAII. I just thought that Hime-Dreams seems too common so I racked my brain again and again and I came up with something that includes South Korea & Aiira. I thought of KOREAII first but unfortunately it was already taken, thus I have to make up something really quick. So everyone now I present you SKOREAII! Enjoy <3
B.A.P one of the most anticipated Korean Boy Band to debut this year, finally released their music video for their debut track 'Warrior'. For the first time in 5 years, finally a boyband who did not go through the cute concept. No offence to the other boybands out there, but B.AP set the bar for their debut, making other companies worried for their own trainees.
B.A.P which stands for Best.Absolute.Perfect is a boy band created by TS Entertainment home to girl group SECRET & duo UNTOUCHABLE has released their debut MV 'Warrior' instead of the usual cute concept that most Korean Boy Bands picture, B.A.P took the hip-hop route which only idol boy band BIGBANG took 5 years ago.
It seems to be that B.A.P's signature image is the glittering head rabbit, it was used in Bang Yong Gook's single and it was also used when maknae ZELO released a song with leader Bang Yong Gook. The head rabbit is something new to the K-Pop Industry.
In other words B.A.P is a breathe of fresh air to the K-POP scene.
I've babbled long enough, so without further ado! Here is B.A.P's debut MV Warrior
I've never scene a Korean Boy Band rock the Platinum Hair. Also, all of them took the platinum blonde hair color, which can be taken as a disadvantage to the group, since no one can recognized who is who, but they rocked the hair style, so I won't be complaining.
SECRET's Song Ji Eun & SiSTAR's Hyorin. The two new voices of Korean Drama OSTs are rising. Although Hyorin already made a name for herself as The Korean Beyonce, many KPOP fans might already know that Ji Eun even before debut was already famous.
Song Ji Eun recently released the OST for the Korean Drama Take Care Of Us, Captain starring many famous Korean Actors & Actresses. Though Ji Eun doesn't have the powerful voice that HyoRin carries, she still gave the song that most singers wouldn't be able to deliver.
So check out Ji Eun with It's Cold.
SiSTAR Hyorin
Still Cuts from the MV
Another rising OSTs singer is none other than Hyorin the fearless leader of girl group SiSTAR. With her husky voice she delivered an amazing & emotional song. Staring Park Min Young, Chung Myung Hoon & Lee Jang Woo, the MV we're still cuts from the drama and it gave the song more meaning.
Without further ado! Check out the MV
SONG JI EUN & HYORIN HISTORY
After a few minutes of digging, apparently both Song Ji Eun & HyoRin we're trainees of JYP Entertainment and that the two we're suppose to debut in the same group with Miss A'sMin, but plans we're dropped after HyoRin was dropped from the label. She later audition at STARSHIP ENTERTAINMENT and was accepted right away, she later debuted with girl group SiSTAR as the group's leader & Main Vocalists
Song Ji Eun also moved entertainment companies and was accepted right away, she later debuted with girl group SECRET as the group Main Vocalists.
JYP ENTERTAINMENT are you regretting your decision now? Look how big and successful your past trainees are!?
Another posts, since I couldn't compressed all of today's posts into one. So here is another K-POP news. Wonder Girls released their music video for THE DJ IS MINEfeaturing SCHOOL GYRLS an American Girl Group. The song is very nice indeed, but the music video lacks promotion. I mean they are promoting two girl groups in the American Market and yet the video is low quality, you can barely see the girls' faces which means a lot of viewers won't recognize their faces. Check out the music video & see for youself
WONDER GIRLS ft. SCHOOL GYRLS - THE DJ IS MINE
EXO
It's been a long time since I post something about this group and their releases. Though this group is still in the dark, (yes SM ENT has not revealed all members names of the group) in the last teaser video that was released it is expected that the boyband will have 12 members [other member is not shown in the image] and that they will be split in half EXO-K & EXO-M, their debut is still in the dark but rumors say that the group will debut in INKIGAYO with all the groups debuting this year, I hope this group wouldn't be buried under the sand, but with all the teaser SM ENTERTAINMENT has been releasing lately, I doubt this group will be forgotten.
Aside from the Multi-colored hair, MBLAQ is back with another chart topping single. The Song & Music Video we're produced very well. The acting wasn't overly done either, but the bullet was too much. I mean who can do that trick in real-life though I give props to the editor of the Music Video since it was done wonderfully. Check it out below.
MBLAQ - IT'S WAR
JASON CHEN
I said before that it's been a long time since I listened to English Songs and let's just say a popular youtube singer has broken the unbreakable <me>. Jason Chen delivers an amazing Song & Music Video to top it off with. With the help of The DreamLapse Project the team created an emotional & moving Music Video. Let's face it, a lot of us probably fell in-love with our bestfriend at one point in our life. Check out the song & music video. I promise you, it won't disappoint.

I was born in a little town called Baritao in the Philippines. I lived there for 11 years and moved to Canada. I've been living in Canada ever since, and of course I've visited
the Philippines once. I can speak Pangasinan, Tagalog & English though I'm a bit slow with understading & reading Pangasinan sentences. I work & I go to college. I enjoy listening to
K-POP & R&B Music, I love to dance and sing around the house. I enjoy making Minitokyo Layouts & playing with different shades of colors, sometimes I even surprise myself due to the
result of my experiments. I love to watch Korean TV Dramas, Variety Shows & etc. Once in a while I watch anime's specifically BLEACH, GUNDAM SEED, GUNDAM SEED DESTINY, GHOST HUNT & others.
Luminous Rain || Minitokyo Layouts
Luminous-Rain has been with me since July 2011. I once blogged in Tumblr but it only gives me the ability to posts a few stuff. Searched and Searched the web for a blogging site
that can provide my need and I happen to stumble upon Blogger. Luminous-Rain is the third name of the site, it first started with Hime-Dreams but since the name seem a
bit off I decided to go with S-KoreAii but it seems too direct, so I decided to change the name of the site again and I came up with Luminous-Rain I don't really know what it
means, but I really love the name that I came up with so I changed it again, there is the story of how Luminous-Rain came to life.
Love is a continous shattering piece of mirror that leaves everyone a painful memory to carry on to their lives
Live life to the fullest, don't give a reason to anyone to ruin your day or your future! Continue walking like your walking through a path of cloud
Life is precious, it is given by GOD and therefore no human being should take another human being's life. It is only GOD who is able to give and take life away.
Our parents, are merely a vessel given to us by GOD so that someone will pass GOD's love to us. Therefore treat your parent's respect and show them how you appreciate their hardships.
From Hime-Dreams to S-KoreAii
