Who likes short shorts? IU likes short shorts! :)

This is a performance of the song You know (있잖아) from 2009. I thought I’d post some positive sounding songs for the start of the summer and came up all IU :lol: .

The other day I went back to the Korean restaurant that I mentioned once before with some friends. At the restaurant they had several IU songs in their play list. When the waiter came over I said “so, you like IU too?” and after that they played only IU songs for like half an hour :lol: .

 

You guys have probably already seen this by now, but there are teasers out for SNSD’s Japanese album, which is scheduled for release on June 1st.

The album will contain a ton of new songs and judging by the previews, they sound pretty good.

This is SM Entertainment’s official teaser mix (audio + some epilepsy-inducing patterns):

Here’s a preview from CDTV, which shows […] there’s more! »

 

When the K-drama Dream High was over the artists who were a part of the cast held a concert for the fans where they performed songs from the drama. It was aired as a bonus episode on TV and had interviews with the cast and stuff.

IU performed Someday from the Dream High sound track.

I apologize on the camera man’s behalf for the unsteady camera -_-.

During the performance they show some clips from the drama, so some things will get spoiled if you haven’t watched the drama yet.

WHY is 4Minute’s latest Japanese single, which was released back in March right before the earthquake. Due to the disaster they cancelled/postponed all their activities in Japan, so the song wasn’t promoted much.

In the music video the members of 4Minute are planning some kind of heist, where they’ll break into a vault to dance and sing :) .

At first this song kind of passed me by, but I like it more after listening to it a bit.

 

Girls’ Generation (or 少女時代/Shoujo jidai as they’re called in Japan) made their first live performance of MR. TAXI on Music Station last week.

Tae-yeon looks so awesomely hot in this video! I just want to eat her up! XD

It seems like the Japanese shows aren’t as accustomed to having big dance numbers on their stages as it looks a bit cramped for space with all the close-ups. The Korean shows have much bigger stages.

The talk online lately has been about Yu-ri’s weight loss. She’s really skinny now compared to how she used to look (slender and sexy). Even Yoon-a is less skinny than Yu-ri now.

This file is bigger than usual, so use a download manager if you have a slow connection. Check the FAQ if you need more info.

 

Lonely is the second “sneak peek” at 2NE1’s upcoming album. It’s a slower song with an acoustic sound to it with only vocals, guitar and strings.

If you know the title of the song you also know 50% of the lyrics :lol: , just kidding. I like it. It’s really good. I’m looking forward to their album release next month.

 

In case you wanted to go to SMTOWN in Paris next month, but weren’t able to get tickets, I’m happy to inform you that SM has added a second concert the day after (on June 11th).

The tickets go on sale in less than 10 hours (10:00 Paris time).

You can (try to) buy tickets at Live Nation. (update: Sold out!)

 

Love Alone is Miss A’s latest song, which was produced for figure skater Kim Yuna’s Ice Show. I like this song! It’s pretty repetitive, but In a good way I guess. It gives me a nice feeling.

The music video consists of clips from their live performances and back stage footage. The lyrics are in English.

Miss A’s new album will be out later this month in July.

 

Here 4Minute wins MNet Countdown with Mirror Mirror (거울아 거울아). It’s their first win since their comeback (they’ve won before though with Muzik and Huh).

They had to change up the choreography because the part where they spread their legs was deemed inappropriate for television and they wouldn’t be allowed to perform if they didn’t change it. This performance has the revised choreography.

When it stood clear that they’d won, So-hyun started crying and sobbing uncontrollably. And of course the producer goes: “Quick! Someone stick a mic in her face!”
