While waiting impatiently for my copy of  the Arashi PV dvd, I've finally gotten myself to download SS501's new mini album, released 1 yr and 7 mths since their last album. I shouldn't have because now I am really tempted to order a copy of it. No, make it two. One Kor version with 2 posters and a 100 pg photo diary, and one Tw version with 1 clear file and a dvd including the PV, making off and trailers. Really! I've got the window opened since last night! Had previously intended to buy it when I go to Korea next yr, but now I'm super tempted...

I did a translation of the song I loved most in the mini album. I liked all the songs, really, surprisingly, on first listening. No wonder SS501 said that this is as perfect as they can get. But, this last song on the album, is a light piece, and I felt really happy after listening....it's a soothing piece. And after I googled abit about it, I realised that it's written for fans by SS501! It's called "green peas" - SS501 fans are also called green peas, a pun on the korean word for peas. The melody is light, the tune easy to sing along to, and with the injection of random phrases, it felt 'live' and is easy to connect to. Compared to Arashi's 5x10 song of thanks to fans, it's a totally different style.

So here I bring you the translation

(Didn't like the change in image for the cover at first, but now they're starting to get to me!)

And here are YT clips for the song. I can't seem to upload the mp3. =S

Here's the live ver

I like how Kyu Jong said "San Ni Ichi Go!" instead of "Set Dul Hana Go!" (both means the same) as recorded in the album. I guess the fancam was taken at the Japan leg of the tour since I hear "Arigatou" later in the clip. I wonder what they will say in Singapore..."Three Two One Go!"? XP

Because the clip isn't very clear due to the lighting, and because they've changed their hairstyle quite abit, I didn't recognise one or two of them at first...but I've gotten them sort out and from left to right: Young Saeng, Hyung Jun, Hyun Joong, Kyu Jong and Jung Min.

Another song I totally love is "Love Like This". The PV adds to the excitement

I had problems watching the PV because I didn't know where to look: at the dangerously beautiful guys, at the beautifully dangerous cars, or at the storyline (which till now I have no idea of, except it's about assassins).

Angeline's in Japan now and I'm sooo envious! haha...but she promised to help me get 100 arashi photos (well, I twisted her words) and some beauty products so as to ease me poor poor soul...I'm sooo deprived of life now! Everyday I come back, eat, check mails, occasionally check vox/lj, read a chapter of a novel and sleep. And that repeats till wkends when I try to meet up with friends to maintain my sanity. I cannot imagine a life of such...and they're going to remove TOIL!!! Haiz....Now the only things I look forward to it arashi, ss501 news, and releases of Liar Game's scanlations.

Aniwaes, at a friend's request, I present the translation of Believe In Love and All My Love by SS501.

I've got the cd, but haven't got time to listen to the songs...so, to those who've commented so, I'm not biased towards SS501! True, I've been taking part in SS501 fan activities slightly more, but my time still goes to Arashi first!

Aniwaes, here are the translation, not 100% accurate, but good enough. The first one sounds odd though, and I have no confidence regarding the accuracy...Take it with 2 pinches of salt!

All My Love by SS501

昨日までここになかった花が咲くように
微笑みは二人の気持ち、必ずつないでくれるよ
心が寂しさなら、逃げられない時も
それ以上の幸せ、きっと君にあげるから

It seems like the flower was not here until yesterday is blooming
The smile will certainly tie both our feelings together
If you're feeling lonely, when you can't escape
I will definitely give you more happiness

あふれる夜空にひとつ輝いてる光でいてほしい
これから始まる夢を永遠にもっともっと抱きしめよう

I want to be a shinning spark of light in the overflowing night sky
Let's hug the dreams that will start from here, forever, more and more

温もりに委ねながら言葉に迷いかけても
君が思うよりも君を好きになれる

Even if I hesitate about words while entrusting myself to your warmth 
I can grow to love you more than you think

名前を呼び合う声
零れそうな涙
今以上の幸せ、きっと僕が守るから

The voice calling out our names
The tears that seemed to be spilling
I will definitely protect the happiness, greater than ever

生まれた世界にひとつめぐり合えた奇跡でいてほしい
これから続く未来も永遠にずっとずっとずっと
離れない

I want to be a miracle you can come across in the world we're born in
In the future that will continue on from here, forever, always and always
I will not leave 

Argh I ought to be sleeping because I have a flight in 5 hours' time and I'm supposed to wake up in an hour's time. I planned to sleep at 1230, but I spotted this YT video. It was a mistake to watch it because I ended up working to translate it for the next 4 hours. O.O It's crazy what I'm doing. Fortunately, my mom doesn't know I'm still awake or she'll kill me literally.

WARNING: I'm not very very good with Korean and my eyes, ears and brain were all shutting down as time passed, so there may be missing bits or minor errors. Read at your own risk! I'll keep this open to public till I return from my vacation in 5 days' time before I f-lock it. Please don't repost the translations anywhere coz I think it's not that good a quality...just redirect people here if you want to share! I'm glad 4D HJL is still there!! KJ scared me!

Ok, I'll get sleeping already...an hour's nap. =/

Before I leave for vacation (my first time with friends yay!), let me post some pictures taken during my last Korean class this sem. We made kimbap (sushi)!!! It was odd coz I tend to associate it to Japan...Someone asked the teacher where it originated from and she said that while Koreans say Korea, Japanese say Japan...but it doesn't really matter. TRUE!

Do you think Aiba would have been proud? XP

And, a cover song of Mature by Hwang Bo, and a fanvid to commemorate the 1st year anniversarya of JoongBo!!

Spent my whole day after exams to do this. My voice sounds odd, but make do lah~ Man I miss my choir days... 

I'm going to restart RNK. I stopped watching halfway coz of school, but now I see it winning wards here and there, and I think I should start watching it all over again!! After my vacation trip, before internship starts, coz being the workaholic I am, I can foresee myself working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Ja ne!

Because I'm so bored reading abut PAT, I took a meme from Liz. It's fun!!! I currently have two groups I really like so I'm gonna do the meme twice. =) It's quite amazing because the number of songs Arashi has far exceeds SS501's by at least 4 times.

Exams are going to start real soon so I'll be MIA again. =( Hopefully arashi doesn't come out with anything really exciting this month! Aniwaes, I want to share with you guys this Korean group. They're the first Korean singers I really liked, apart for Park Yong Ha, which is a little ambiguous coz he mainly sings Japanese songs.

It all started when I was so bored in school during break, I went to youtube to get some entertainment, and clicked on this video which was really popular then. It was a live performance of one of the theme songs in Boys Over Flowers, Because I'm Stupid by SS501. That song really got me hooked, as well as the very loud and uniform cheering (Yes, K fans are...suge~) from the audience, which I didn't understand till recently. I kept listening to it for a few days but then I stopped. Till recently, after I got psycho-ed into buying two kdrama series by the very persuasive salegirls at BlueMax (I went in with the intention just to buy Pride and Prejudice - OMG the version has subtitles! Fortunately I didn't buy the BCC ver!), I was so deprived of something to watch that I went to find BOF online. And from there, I got hooked to the song again. Went to search, and found out that the guy acting as Rui is in SS501, the group that sang the song.

So, my Korean version of Arashi! Well, can't really compare coz I haven't got time to go watch SS501 variety shows to see them off-perf.

At least, there's five persons in the group.

There is one people refer to as Leader.

There is one people refer to a Baby (omg Jen's constant reference is making me link the word to Aiba-chan!).

There is one main rapper.

And I got introduced to them via HYD, like Arashi.

They all look alike to me, for now, like Sho, AIba, Ohno and Nino back them.

One thing different though, I don't have a favourite pairing in Arashi, but I have one in SS501, though I have no idea why coz it definitely isn't because of their interactions. I just like them together.

XD Their songs are good. Really a wide range of fast dance numbers and slow ballads. People say they're similar to DBSK, but I don't listen to DBSK, so I don't know and don't care. The only thing is that almost all their live perf seem to have a lot of back dancers, so it gets messy and confusing sometimes. I so prefer Arashi/Japanese/JE perf where the focus is really on the artistes.

Below is a really cute MV of their earlier works. Its really funny, and even if you're not a fan, I think you'll enjoy it and laugh and sing along. I cannot imagine our Arashi doing this kind of MV/dance lol!!! Himitsu was near it, but I think acting cute is not as acceptable in their industry. As preview, I've cut out some really cute parts so have a look at them to decide if you wanna watch haha!

널 부르는 노래 (A Song Calling For You)

Edit: The cuts turned out choppy, somehow. Is it only my old, old, old comp or..? Gomen ne! I'll edit when I have time.
The YouTube video is fine though, so go watch it!!

Opening - Intro of Double S 5 0 1
Lol, this is what fans are always chanting at lives - "더블에스 오공일"/"Double S 5 0 1". It's something they all know to be chanted.

Jungmin bouncing on the bed
The third member I can remember, name-wise. Sometimes Usually I can't recognise him from this other guy called Kyo-sth. Lol..he looks super duper cute in this video!

Young Saeng (I think)
Acting cute. LOL. Did I mention this MV is super duper cute?

Jungmin acting mental
Don't you think he looks like a mtenal patient? Even the room's all in white!!! I waned to make a small gif out of this to put in my forum signature, but have no idea how. Anyone can help??? Actually this was the reason why I started to cut out the cute clips - to make gifs. =S

Hyung Joon acting cute
My second love like (can't use love yet. Love is only for arashi ne!) in SS501. I watched him in a live of the theme song and he was totaly hot. Btw, I think he has a Japanese look when I first watched him. He's the main rapper of the group, along with the leader, my first like. But they can sing lead vocals as well!! Oh, the two of them are the Double HJs - Kim Hyun Joong Leader and Kim Hyung Joon Baby. =) That sliding thing he did at the end was sooo act cute!

Cute dance move
One of the cutest things about this MV is the dance. Below are three separate cuts, and a final compiled one.

Enough of previews??? Ok, here's the subbed MV!

On a side note, while watching some live perf videos, I felt that Kim Hyun Joong Leader resembles Jin at times, and some people felt that he resembles YamaP. Lol...

Hope the MV made you guys laugh! My small present to you all before I disappear (to watch riida's PV before I start mugging. It's so coOl that he gets a PV of his own, but he seemed a bit awkward with so many scenes just focusing on him. Yappari he's best when with the other four!).

And so I started watching it. I had no intention of watching it because there's this bias that nothing can be better than HYD so I should not go watch it and start comparing. Furthermore, I need to spend more time studying. Demo, what I couldn't stop doing was to go to my imeem playlist to play some music while I study. And then, after a while, I decided to add more songs to the playlist....and then I remembered this song called 내 머러가 나빠서 (aka because I'm stupid), and so went to search for it. And then......................it started. I started watching BOF. It's good, but very similar to HYD, so I was comparing the two storyline...And since I knew the ultimate ending for each subplot already, I was just looking at the details because some parts are slightly different from HYD. Well, you can say part of the fun was lost, but to make up for it, there were original funny moments and of course, eye candy.

As usual, I'm attracted by Rui more. He's called jihoo in BOF and his horse, to my amusement, is called rui. LOL. Yes, they have horse-riding scenes in the drama, which makes the BOF world more...'exclusive'? Man, if only Kamio sensei would write an alternate ending for BOF (NOT HYD!)...then poor poor Jihoo would not be so pitiful (lol I'm only up to ep 8 though haha).

Below are two videos I want to share with you guys. This is the song that baited me to watch BOF (Not the other way round!!) Very catchy melody, by SS501, although only 3 out of 5 members sang this song. The guy who played Jihoo (hyun Joong, the group's leader) didn't sing. I like the guy in the middle most (out of the three singing) and I was initially confused because people called him Hyung Joon and I was like "Hyun Joong? The BOF guy? Doesn't look like him at all!". Their names are soooo similar.

Kim Hyun Joong (BOF's rui)

Kim Hyung Joon (Guy in the middle)

Lol wadever. Not like I'm a fan or anything. Maybe when I'm free I'll go listen to their other songs and see if they're my cup of tea! Haven't been listening to korean songs so...this is a first in months! It's really good, so take 5 mins off to listen!

Ok, so....this is counted as revision for tmr's korean quiz, ne?
