Neverland + Random Posts of GIFS :D

September 9, 2011 11:14 PM ♥


U-Kiss comes back with 'Neverland' after the much success of their mini-album Bran New Kiss. Though their singer '0330' didn't win any awards (due to heavy competition with much larger and popular groups ex. TVXQ & BigBang) it was one memorable and one of U-Kiss' much successful songs.

On September 1, 2011 U-Kiss released their second full length album 'Neverland'. The album comes with two title tracks 'Neverland' (same title as the album) and 'Someday' (a ballad song).

The music video of Neverland received much praise from critics citing it as a brilliant portrayal of the most synchronized dance of U-Kiss it's as if the group became as one body and that the teaser released earlier didn't do justice for the actual music video. It was also said that the major transformation the group went into after 4 months of hiatus was unbelievable and that U-Kiss once again proved themselves to be a group that will change itself no matter.

While Neverland was a dance track giving the group the natural masculine look boy bands, their other title song 'Someday' gave the group a much sophisticated and charming voice. It was said that music critics praised U-Kiss for shedding their boy band image and made the song stand out among the album tracks.

Without further ado here is the music video for 'Neverland'


Check out their second title song 'Someday'


For more tracks from U-Kiss check out Youtube. :D

KARA Step Comeback MV & Album Release

September 5, 2011 1:13 PM ♥


KARA finally released their much anticipated 3rd album and Music Video for their turning point after their group's five month break-up.

What's really amazing with this album is that KARA kept their promise to "us" KAMILIA's that they would comeback as a much more polished and amazing group and I must say as a KAMILIA that they lived up to their promise and much more!

Their Album STEP is an album composed with confidence, focused, professionalism and more importantly honesty, feelings and their heart. 

Without further ado! Let's check out their album.

KARA STEP ALBUM REVIEW by AIIRA
01. EY! OH!
Ey! Oh! is much like any other {intro} tracks, composed with drums and beats and never leaving the rap section. The one thing that KARA added is that KARA never ever rap in their album. This time Nicole proved that she can rap well and not just rumors circulating her rapping skills.

02. STEP
Step is the same album title and their main title track for the album. It's an amazing upbeat track that included all of KARA's charms. DSP picked themselves up and proved that they can give what KARA needed and I must agree. Nicole's rap is to die for and Hara & JiYoung's unexpected rap duet is amazing! KARA is once again ready to conquer the music charts.

03. RIDER
This track starts up with the regular beats, but is mostly heard from solo singers. It starts up with Nicole's voice and it then picks up by Gyuri and goes on to Seungyeon's cute voice. Nicole added her own flavour by singing some parts in english. Would be amazing if DSP released an MV of this song.

04. STRAWBERRY
Strawberry starts up with Hara's cute and sweet voice and is then picked up by the main vocalists of the group. It then continues on to its cute concept and it doesn't disappoint at all. It wasn't the regular girl group concept cute, but KARA cute! 

05. COME WITH ME
The song that is mostly heard by groups like Wonder Girls & 4Minute, but KARA took the chance and I must say they succeeded a bit, but Nicole's rap took the song to another level and it then turned into something more than a song.

06. DATE (MY BOY)
The usual girl group love upbeat song.

07. ING (ACOUSTIC VERSION)
I think this song was included in their second album with the official song. This song is only the acoustic version, if you wanna hear the official song then just search KARA - ING on Youtube and you should be able to find the song.

08. KARA 4 U (OUTRO)
The song that ends all song of this album. Short yet amazing!

09. STEP (INTRUMENTAL)
I think you all know what this is all about.

10. DEAR KAMILIA
A song dedicated to KARA's fanbase KAMILIA. A ballad song that doesn't disappoint. It showed KARA true vocal abilities. Its an amazing ballad and should be listened to all the time.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO HERE IS THE MV FOR STEP!

Check it out and see for yourself!

Check this out & SNSD Into the new world

August 30, 2011 5:29 PM ♥



This .gif look so wrong in so many ways than one. Although this is pretty cute and takes your mind away from what Kyuhyun is actually laughing about. It would be helpful if I could find the show where this .GIF is cut from.

CLICK THE IMAGE! & IT WILL DIRECT YOU TO [[[KOREABOU]]]

@Koreabou a site from a fellow MT'er. I discovered it today while I was surfing MT and dropping on everyone's pages. This shocked me as I finally found a whole bunch of .GIF of KPOP STARS. xD

Also for the past day or two I have been searching SNSD's debut days it makes me curious how they performed back then and I find it more energized than their performances today, but I guess you can tell the energy coming from rookies and veterans. 

CHECK THIS OUT.

This was from back in 2009 when SBS Idol Big Show aired. ENJOY


And this is from SNSD's first broadcast.


This is by far the latest that they performed this song as I know of xD. I'm so bad at keeping up with things I am sorry.

ENJOY! everyone

I know the posts today is just crapppy but oh well.

Favorite Dish/Food

August 25, 2011 6:43 PM ♥


Korean Traditional Dish 'Bulgogi'
Bulgogi is a Korean dish that usually consists of marinated barbecued beef, although chicken or pork may also be used.

Bulgogi literally means Fire Meat in Korean, which refers to the cooking technique over an open flame rather than the dish's spiciness. The term is also applied to variations such as dak bulgogi (made with chicken) or dwaeji bulgogi (made with pork), although the seasonings are different.

HISTORY
Bulgogi is believed to have originated during the Goguryeo Era when it was originally called maekjeok with the beef grilled on a skewer. It was called Neobiani meaning 'thinly pread' meat, in the Joseon Dynasty and was traditionally prepared especially for the wealthy and the nobility class.

PREPARATION & SERVING
Bulgogi is made from thin slices of sirlion or other prime cuts of beef. Before cooking, the meat is marinated to enhance it's flavour and tenderness with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, pepper and other ingredients such as scallions, onions or mushrooms, especially white button mushrooms or shiitake. Sometimes, cellophane noodles are added to the fish, which varies by region and specific recipe.

Bulgogi is  traditionally grilled, but pan cooking is common as well. Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions and chopped green peppers are often grilled or fried with the meat. This dish is sometimes served with a side of lettuce or other leafy vegetable, which is used to wrap a slice of cooked meat, often along with a dab of ssamjang, or other side dishes, and then eaten as a whole.
