My dad thought it funny I find cover versions of the Beatles, so we ended up finding a few in Japanese, but this one coming from Malaysian singer Maggie Wong & the Jungle Lynxs sounds super fun!
Plus, Connie Chan~

You’ll have to excuse my Japanese. Is the English translation “The Most Beautiful Me”? Okay, I had a listen to most of Nakashima’s discography, after I was totally team Nana xD She strikes me as a emotionless-goth sometimes, and then the other times she strikes me as a total emo. However, I kinda dig her music.
She sounds great on Ichiban Kirei na, and somehow with my understanding of the lyrics… they seemed kinda poetic. I mean, the kind of lyrics that I like from Asian songs in general. Like having to sing about “that time in winter” and stuff like that. I like it when songs talk about the seasons and the elements, hahaha.
I think this song is the theme for Unubore Deka.

At last! I had seen this video about 2 weeks ago and was waiting for Typhoon to upload it because the version I had seen was a TV capture and it was fullscreen.
In Chan Mian Jing, Bibi is all eclectic again. I think her hair is really great, she has had great hair since she moved to Typhoon – why are we discussing this? Well, because we already know Bibi can sing. She can’t dance, but she can sing. So Bibi’s biggest obstacle is looking and acting like an idol. I really suggest Typhoon moves away from this. Yeah, make her look sleek… I even admitted she looked really great on Canned Fish without the glasses and the long hair, but I also said she didn’t look like Bibi. So I appreciate that Typhoon let Bibi use her dark-rimmed glasses for this video, but the eclectic look doesn’t go with it.
So keep Bibi’s hair styles and colors, keep the glasses… and please, put Bibi on a well-tailored suit with a Motown sound. Her voice can deal with it.
As for the music here? I liked it, the song is one of the highlights in style from an album that has a LOT of types of music. She experimented a lot with different sounds. It feels you’re going through different music eras when you listen to it. For instance, there was a song that sounded so much like Stevie Wonder, and then I Miss U Missing Me sounds very late-90s, while Canned Fish sounds early 2000s and One-Way Mirror sounds mid-2000s LOL.
The album will be released on August 13th, to coincide with the release of his directorial film debut Love in Disguise. 18 Martial Arts, which contains the first single Chai Mi You Yan Jiang Cu Cha (Daily Necessities), will be released in different versions including the Love Key HK version, Taiwan version, the House Key HK version, Taiwan version… as well as a Normal Edition HK and Taiwan, and a Taiwan version with a mini-photobook and a DVD with the MV and trailer for his film.
It’s independence day in Peru! So I made you all a playlist again with old school Peruvian rock. Awww, man~~~ those where the days. Or maybe I have my stages… without the internet, I grew up with this music. With the internet, I moved on to music in English… and having Asian friends, I follow so much Asian music now. — Did you noticed the whole front page was filled with Asian music posts??? — And then people call me a music snob.
Anyway, Feliz 28!

- Tierra Sur – Llaman a la Puerte [They’re Calling at the Door]
- Yvonne y los Mercantiles – Sin Parar [Without Stopping] – the chorus goes “I want to dance all night long without stopping” though it would translate better to “I want to dance all night long, all night long, all night long”.
- Miki Gonzales – Akundun
- Sangre Purpura – Que te Pasa Javier [What’s Going On Javier] – which goes “What’s going on, Javier? You look like a woman”
- Fragil – Avenida Larco [Larco Avenue]
- Los Mojarras – Triciclo Peru [Peru Tricycle]
- Los Nosequien y los Nosecuantos (NSQ y NSC) – Las Torres [The Towers]
- Autocontrol – Por tu Amor (For your Love) – This one sounds straight out of Saint Seiya.
- Arena Hash – Cuando la Cama me Da Vueltas [When the Bed Spins Around]
- Los Nosequien y los Nosecuantos (NSQ y NSC) – Magdalena — referring to a Lima district, so the song goes “I live by/for Magdalena, but I’d die for Susana”
Or also known as Love ~ I Won’t Say Goodbye ~ the emotional animation version.
Yes, it’s actually the “emotional animation version”.
How can the little pollitos make such a sad PV?
Right?
I’m gonna be honest with you. Kanon Wakeshima is not my type of music, her voice annoys me. However, I do find her video kind of pretty to look at… Lolita style is so visual. xD
And I do like when she plays the cello for like 2 seconds hahaha
I hate Kara as much as I hate SNSD — but that doesn’t keep me from singing along to Gee, okay? But I just found it funny that the video is of a Korean girl group doing a Japanese version of their song and their dance is all about shaking their money-makers. That somehow sounds all sorts of wrong.
By the way, you might have noticed that I’m actually posting more music videos, even if I don’t think much about them. Do you agree, or should I just post what I like? I think posting what I don’t like, and pointing out why I don’t like it would be a nice change for music discussion.
Just had a listen to Se7en’s (seven) newest mini-album Digital Bounce, and couldn’t help but hear similarities between Track 6 — Drips — and Justin Timberlake’s Love Stoned. Just listen to the verses.
Drips vs. Love Stoned
What say you? Similar?
So…………… am I the only one thinking “I’m too sexy” by Right Said Fred.
At least in the first few seconds. LOL Right, you gotta admit that~
and the choreography. not warming up to c-pop dancing. Dance music is fine… it’s the dancing that gets to me. Like I said, there’s so many capable dancers in China/Taiwan… so graceful, so rocking. It’s just argh!
