[Random Song] – “Monster” from [Ladyz]

Let’s go Party~!
Okay, anyone in for some clubbing? Or any type of party for that manner? Karnival’s approaching and brings all those horrible folk songs along, so I gotta compensate that a little~

[Recommendation] Mini-Mixtape from Andy A47

Our dear Underdogg Andy A47 is back with two really nice songs~
Since this cute little mixtape only includes two songs I don’t think a review is neccessary. I’ll just recommend it to you straight away!

Album: – Mixtape –
Artist: Andy A47
Year: 2014
Language: Chinese/English
Tracklist:
    01. M.I.C (是中华圈的炫耀) (feat. Cross Gene’s Casper)
              02. MA SEOUL CITY

I already wrote about Andy once, but since I like him so much, I’ll gladly repeat myself for those who haven’t heard of him yet:
Maybe you’ve stumbled across the Korean band Topp Dogg? With the intimidating number of 13 members? Well, in a way there are even more members – they’re called “Underdogg” and form a subunit that joins Topp Dogg once in a while and on certain occasions. And in there, between Jiwon and Hyuntae, we have Andy.
So he’s a sort-of Trainee of Stardom who maybe will or won’t join Topp Dogg? Not quite.

[5 Songs] that are meaningfully deep

*sing* Deeper than the sea~
…Yeah, right. Maybe I’m listening to Exo too much.

-This time I’m not gonna split into Korean/Japanese, but rather go for 2 Korean, 2 Japanese and 1 Chinese song-

Some people like to let go while listening to music, to forget all the problems in the world.
And I won’t deny that’s probably the intention of some artists, as well. But there are certain artists to choose otherwise: To point out problems they see or to name their innermost fears and troubles as a first step to progress them and to encourage other people to follow them in doing this. I’ve always had the habit to fall for this type of songs. Hard. They haunt me, wrap me up and don’t let me go… Does this even make sense?

I’m gonna introduce you to some songs that fall under my category of truly meaningful songs – Let’s go tackle some issues, then?

The reason for not focusing on any language is that those songs simply are the strongest ones and I wanted to keep this list on a level as high as possible. Also people shouldn’t cling to one language only~
I can still make a second list if I come upon more songs like this :)

1. BADMAN from B.A.P (Korean)

A predictable entry in this list, huh?
People who’re into K-Pop might know that B.A.P’s leader Yongguk is notoriously un-idol-like. Not overly pretty, not overly cute, just not overly attention-seeking(No offense to idols doing their job). He just seems believably human and real and has an honest soft spot for all kind of charity on top of that. Though still young he already has the feeling of a true artist sticking to him, for obvious reasons. Rather than taking the safe route he produces songs and writes lyrics which more often than not tackle various problems.

And oh boy, BADMAN is a strong song. In means of the costumes, the as always Blockbuster-like video but mostly in terms of lyrics.

[Random Song] “It’s me” from Andy A 47

I know, I know! Only Random Songs… It’s not that I’m just lazy(though I basically am lazy through and through, but that’s another story); Unfortunately my laptop broke down and this format is the only one that’s easy to do from my mobile phone…
…Anyways, I’m still listening to plenty of songs I can’t keep quiet about.
For example this really nice rap-song:

[Random Song] – “Thunder” von EXO

Die K-Pop Welt liebt EXO’s “overdose”. Nein, scratch that, Korea liebt “overdose” – Dieses Lied läuft hier in Seoul üüüüberall…!
Und auch ich liebe es. Neben “overdose” gibt es nur ein anderes Lied vom Minialbum, dass mich bisher dazu reizen konnte, es in meine Playlist aufzunehmen:

Titel: 썬더 / 雷电(Thunder)
Künstler: EXO
Album: overdose
Erscheinungsjahr: 2014
Musikvideo:

[News] Teasermedley für EXO’s Minialbum “Overdose” ♪

…Nicht, dass wir ihn in Deutschland sehen dürften.
Aber hier ist ein simpler Zusammenschnitt beider Medleys:

Der erste Medley ist der koreanische, ab ca. 1:30 beginnt der chinesische. Man darf also weiterhin gespannt sein ♪

Also bisher hat mich das, entgegen der allgemeinen Ansicht, nicht so suuuper vom Hocker gehauen, aber es sind ja auch nur ein paar Sekunden von jedem Lied. Am besten gefällt mir jetzt schon “Overdose” – Eine gute Entscheidung als Promotionsong, ich sehe gleich, dass das mein persönlicher ‘Hook’ vom Album wird :)
Minnie ♥
Edit: Oh Gott, es tut mir so Leid! Ich sah gerade, dass in der Zwischenablage noch immer Block B’s Mv war… Bei aller Liebe für BLock B, aber heute geht es um Exo, maaann! ;o;

[Random Song] – “SWING” – [Super Junior M]

Dass ich mir SuJu’s chinesisches Comeback nicht entgehen lassen würde war klar… Aber dass es meine Erwartungen so sehr übertroffen hat war eine angenehme Überraschung :)

Titel: SWING
Künstler: Super Junior M
