2009 is coming to an end, and for some reason I really wanted to make a post about all (and I mean all if not then most) of the celebrities that I have listened to, or watched online or on TV. I'll be posting up videos about them (if I can find them ).

 

Big Bang :  Here is a group that I have stopped listening to since their Haru Haru days. They have once again caught my attention with their newest (and award winning) Japanese single "Gara Gara Go!"   Big Bang recently won an award at the Japan Record Awards show for " Rookie New Comer " award. Congratulations to them, and I'm looking forward to more awesome beats from them in the future. :) Gara Gara Go! (little interview+ Gara Gara Go!)

Mika Nakashima:  I didn't really take notice of this artist until she constantly appeared on the show Music Fair. She is a beautiful singer, and her song 雪の華 Yuki no Hana is really worth a listen! Here's the MV for Yuki no Hana.

Kanjani8: One of my favorite Johnny's Groups.   I wasn't really into them before I came across one of their PV's (MV) called "Wahaha". It's one of my favorite music videos of all time because it is so much fun! And the song is catchy ;D. After I listened to "wahaha" , I listened to another one of their songs called "Musekenin Hero" which is also another funny music video with a catchy song! I'm starting to really like this group because they seem so different from other bands I've known. Here's Wahaha:

Julian Cheung ChiLam: How can I forget one of my favorite Hong Kong TVB singer/actors? 2009 was the year he made a comeback with his brand new album "I am Chilam". My favorite song from the album would be : 情愛現代事故 (Modern Love story, but backwards). So here it is (it's got a really nice beat to it, and it's an audio):

Arashi: Another one of my favorite Johnny's Bands. With 5x10 All the Best! out, 2009 marks this groups 10th year anniversary! Congratulations! My favorite songs from them this year are Attack It! (the hidden track) and of course 5x10. Here's Attack It! ~PS. I love you MasaMiya!~

 

 Hins Cheung: Oh boy, how can I forget my lovable husband from Hong Kong??? xD Singer and song writer Hins Cheung has one of THE MOST powerful vocals in today's Cantonese music scene. My favorite songs from him includes: Yes and No, Hurt so Bad, Blessing, 遇見神 (Meeting God, mind you he's a devoted Christian). But since it is 2009, I'll only post up Yes and No because he came out with this single this year.

Yes and No:

 

 DBSK/Tohoshinki: Of course they are included in here!! I'm a true cassiopeian at heart <3 that's why I can't forget The Gods (DBSK stands for Dong Bang Shin Ki, or The Rising Gods of the East). Despite all of the turmoil with the DBSK vs. SM ent. case, DBSK still managed to come out with a brand new Japanese single "Break Out" and win the Musical Excellence Award for their Oricon Chart topping hit Stand By You. Here's Break Out and Stand By You.

Two of Korea's top boy bands, Big Bang and TVXQ were at the end of year Music Station special in Japan. Big Bang rocked the stage with their fresh hit Gara Gara Go and TVXQ soothed everyone with their chart topping single "Stand By U". Check out their performances:

TVXQ/Tohoshinki's STAND BY U:

Ok, if you're thinking that [MR] stands for [Medical Room] such as [ER] stands for emergency room, you're utterly wrong my friend. [MR] really stands for Music Recorded, that is, the background music in the music videos or live performances. [MR] removed videos are videos of live performances that have the bakground music eliminated or decreased to a low volume. This maximizes the singers voice(s) and makes their voice the focus point. Singers that have reveived very positive feedback from these [MR] removed vids are: DBSK (or TVXQ), BoA, SS501 (the group that Kim Hyun joong, the guy that plays Rui in the korean version of HYD is in), and Big Bang. The groups that have received criticism though include: Wondergirls, and KARA.
