Jpop vs Kpop War?

So this has been bothering me for awhile now. I'm a type of person, if I don't say anything its going to drive me crazy. So here it is. I'm looking at this as a person who loves both genre both i'm gonna represent J-POP. Its kinda of ridiculous how all these kpop fans are demeaning Japanese artist and I think its time to split fiction and reality. Japan is the second biggest music industry behind the U.S. K-pop doesn't not even make the top twenty. I'm not saying kpop is not expanding globally but its not overshadowing Japan as much as the Korean media wants you think. Next, the kpop is like a pie and everyone wants to get a piece of that pie. However, there's only so many pieces. Perfect example is all these girl groups debuting. 27 had debut this year!27 guys, that's is just crazy, and I honestly I can only remember like five.  Also, the quality of what kpop is producing has gone down. You guys have to agree with me on this! The majority of these groups they debut don't even last a full cycle of promotions.  They are more focus on the getting members that look like popular member from others groups and focus on their image rather than their vocal and dancing talents. Okay and the industry needs to get this out of their heads, just because your pretty DOES NOT mean you can sing. I mean whatever happened to groups that would train four, five, six, even nine years before they made their debut? Now, its like one to two, even nine months before they make their debut. It you see its not enough time with live stages, being not so great.


Another thing is getting ridiculous is the amount of kpop groups going to Japan! I can see why some Japanese residents are getting fed up. It's like their forcing their music down their throats. It is possible NOT to like kpop people, its not for everybody. And the songs they translate into Japan, the majority of them sound horrible. I just listen to SHINee's Lucifer in  Japanese and it was TERRIBLE. I mean I love SHINee but come on really?! The only thing I could clearly hear was LOVEAHOLIC, and that was in English. First, Lucifer is really hard song to sing in Korean, so I don't think that was a smart choice for their third Japanese single. If you going to sing in another language, take the freaking time to LEARN the language. Another example is T-ara's Bo Peep. What the hell was that? I didn't understand a word and  Japanese version had so much auto tone!! Ugh, kpop industry are rushing too much to get into the Japanese market, to make a quick buck and the quality is clearly suffering!


My last point I'm going to make it the battle between AKB48 AND SNSD! It's not really a battle when one side, AKB is clearly winning. I don't know what's up with SNSD's fanclub, but they are so delusional.  JUST BECAUSE SNSD IS NUMBER ONE IN KOREA, DOESN'T MEAN THEIR NUMBER IN JAPAN. In Japan their ROOKIES, and AKB48 is big boss on campus guys. Ever since they debut in Japan, Sones are just attacking the AKB girls. One example, is their attack on their music videos. Like Heavy Rotation, Everyday Kachussha, or Ponytail  to Shushu. Their claims, is they were bikinis, lingerie, to sell their  music. SO WHAT? your saying SNSD doesn't use their bodies to sell music? That's a bunch of crap, and they know it. AKB48 is selling their sexiness, cuteness, just like SNSD does. And Everyday Kachussha and Pontytial to Shushu are SUMMER SINGLES!! Their at a BEACH. Its not like their wearing bikinnis on stage people!! Some say oh all of AKB fans are only male, so your saying SNSD does have male fans? I've seen their performances. A LOT of the fan chants are males, so don't use that lame excuse. Sure, you might not agree on how they portray that with the AKB girls kissing in Heavy Rotation and whatever, but its not a big deal. Japan is more liberal than South Korea, and don't have to conform just to make kpop fans happy. Actions are speaking louder than words. Four of their singles have sound a million copies!! They DON'T CARE about a girl group who's just entering the jpop scene. So basically, Sones making SNSD look bad with this petty jealously and imaginary rivalry. While they are hating, AKB48 is selling millions. So why they hell would they and their fans care about what Sones have to say? Exactly, they DON'T. 

It's not even AKB alone. Some fanclubs are attacking other kpop if they do better than Kara or SNSD. Like Rainbow just accomplish something great by debuting at number 3 on the Oricon chart. No kpop girl group has done that. And of  COURSE they were attacked. Kamila's are saying that their only popular because of Kara, i'm not going its not true, but give the girls some credit. Rainbow's japanese in A was beautiful!! It was even better than Kara's mister and SNSD's Genie. I don't know why some ppl don't want other groups to exceed SNSD and Kara. It's part of competition!!! but anyway congrats to Rainbow they deserve it!!

K-pop is not all bad. I think it offers great things at times and I see why a lot of people are drawn into. I'm huge of B2ST, 4MINUTE, 2PM, AFTER SCHOOl  BIG BANG, SHINee and list goes on! I even like some of SNSD songs,I think Genie is their best song. But don't say that jpop is all crap because its not. I just think this war is really silly, but I'm sure a lot of people disagree but this MY opinion on the matter. If you don't like what I'm saying TOUGH, get over it!  So leave me your comments, on YOUR personal thoughts. We can have a argument without getting into name calling, that's just juvenile. REMEMBER MY OPINION!!! U R FREE TO AGREE OR DISAGREE!! I'm not going to kill if u don't agree with me ppl, i like to hear other perspective. Jpop has to offer as much as Kpop does, but than again many will disagree. 

AKB48 DOES IT AGAIN!!!

The NUMBER ONE girl group of Japan does it agian!! I don't even now how they do but they just do. Their latest single Flying Get  has sold 1 million copies on its debut day. WTF  that's amazing. Before this minding blowing achievement their previous single Everday Kachuusha sold 1 million in two days. OVERALL FLYING GET has sold in a week is 1.35 million copies???!!!! WOW JUST WOW. There's no words to express how awesome that is! These girls debut in 2006 and for the last five they have work day in and out to make this far. They have even surpass Morning Musume!! These girls are getting up there with AYU, HIKI, ARASHI and they have even bet Namie Amuro sales wide!!! The best thing is that these girls are not even stopping. Their first album blew the charts away and is still charting?! Also, their set to release another single before this year's end! It's rumored to be like BEGINNER! For those who haven't seen BEGINNER here's the video.!

AKB48 is truly amazing. Their the second  jpop girl group to have 9 consecutive number 1 hits after legendary girl group PINK LADY! With a new single coming in October, I'm guessing they going to be them. I really proud of these girls, they have worked extremely hard and its finally paying off. So guys let me know what you think about these awesome ladies!!

U-KISS NEVERLAND!!!!!

CALLING ALL KISS MES it's time to break open our piggy banks U-KISS is back and better than ever. Their second full length album is Neverland and so is their title track. I'm saving up to order my copy but what I've heard of their tracks its pretty bad ass! U-Kiss is one of the idol stars that have been on the back burner for too long but now it's time for them to shine. Their official comeback stage is September 8 on M Countdown (SAVE THE DATE) and I'm counting down the days. This album, I felt that everyone step it up and for all you Kiseop lovers REJOICE he has more lines!! Losing Alexander and Kimbum was hard for these guys but they came back with 0330 which was AWESOME, but they didn't win :( (I KNOW RIGHT CRAZY!). Now finally after three long years its time for U KISS to when a mutizen on a music program. I'm sure most of you agree with me that it's long over do. So, to make that happen KISS ME we need to BUY BUY BUY their album. They completely deserve it. So I posted their HOT video of NEVERLAND and some tracks from their album. Listen, watch, and tell me how much you love these guys. U KISS FIGHTING!!!

Here's a little taste! 13 new tracks and if you what to hear them all go BUY BUY BUY NEVERLAND AND SUPPORT U KISS!!!

Comebacks!!

It's that time again ladies and gents, COMEBACKS, COMEBACKS, COMEBACK!! I don't you about you guys, but I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time. I mean I have money, but not that much money to fund all of my latest obsessions ;( Anyway, so many groups came back hard and gave a really lasting impressions on us like Miss A. I love Good-bye Baby, it's such a badass song and the performance is like POW right in the face. Also, the album has some real solid songs, so its a good contender. 

Than we have Infinite and Teen Top.  Between the two, personally I love Infinite's  Be Mine. At first I was not feeling it watching the music video but their stage performance completely won me over!! Now it's on I-Pod under most played ^^ (hee hee). 

 Honestly, I didn't notice Teen Top when they debut with Clap, but SUPA LUV was what caught my attention. Now they're back with their first mini album Roman and their title song Don't Spray Perfume. I love that song, its just so fresh and I love the dance its creative and keeps my attention. But, my only problem is Niel  singing 80% of the song. I understand if the others guys where tone deaf, but they are all ACTUALLY talented and can sing! Beside I'm sure I'm not only one who wants C.A.P to have more camera time (^^).

And recently top boy group Super Junior made their return with their 5th official album Mr. Simple! There titled track is also called Mr. Simple. The song is catchy, fun, energetic, and everything that makes Super Junior what they are! Their album is enjoyable for hardcore fans or others like me who just have an interest. All in all, get this album!! (Beside its the last one Leeteuk and Heechul will be featured until they return from the army).

Now that summering is coming to close to let's not get discourage because we still have Kara, SNSD, G.NA, SISTAR, SHINEE (maybe) and possibly Wonder Girls waiting to make their comebacks. So I'm done with my ranting, I really want to what you guys think about all these comebacks!

Drama Fever!!

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed with all these enticing dramas?! I do!  I feel like I have to watch ten at one time just to keep up. It also doesn't help when new episodes premiere and you get so into watching them you forget to catch up on the others. It's like a never ending rabbit hole, and I'm running out time school is starting soon and homework, tests, and dramas, are just not a good mix. But summer is not over yet, and so many dramas have caught my eye, especially Spy Myung Wol! I think it's so ADORABLE! First Eric is hot, second ERIC IS HOT, and Han Ye Seul is freakin hilarious AH! The last two episodes were just so much fun and filled with adorable cuteness, Love it!

Than there's Heartstrings, aww campus crush story (literally!) First, I love Park Shin Hye in anything, then we have HOTTIE lead singer of CNBLUE Jung Yong Hwa. I wasn't a huge CNBLUE fan but I'm starting to reconsider, because the drummer is in it too and he is SO CUTE like a puppy!!

 But I can't forget about my Taiwanese dramas, like Hayate the Combat Butler, two words Kick Ass! The main girl annoys me greatly but I deal with it because of George Hu, I love him! And I'm counting the days  for Sunshine Angel to premiere, it has Rainie Yang (Miss No Good, Devil Beside Me, Meteor Garden), she makes me laugh and her costar are always hot. So now you've heard my rant on my summer guilty pleasure, what dramas are you watching that I need to check out?! Let me know!

FLOWER is coming!

For all you out there who love EXILE like I do must be marking your calendars for their sister group to debut. And we don't have to wait long because October 12 is right around the corner. Original these girls were debuting with four members, but just yesterday they announce they've added five more girls. But before I continue I must say this: No their NOT the Japanese Version of SNSD, they don't own the number nine! But they do consider them rivals, KARA as well. Their debut song is titled Still. I'm looking forward to their debut, EXILE is awesome and known for their wicked moves, so these girls have a lot of owned up too ^^ No pressure... Now let's hear from the peanut gallery!!
