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:

 

Big Bang "Gara Gara Go" :

TVXQ/Tohoshinki's STAND BY U:

Today, December 23rd is TVXQ DAY! TVXQ was elected as the President of the Republic of Korean Music.

Famous group TVXQ was elected as the President of the Republic of Korean Music.

This virtual presidential election started from October 23 until December 11 and was organized by the cable channel MTV.

Among thirty candidates, TVXQ monopolized the election and recorded
43.9% of votes whereas the second and third placers were Jang Woo Hyuk
and BIG BANG, respectively. Because of this win, MTV and Boombox (http:​/​/​www.​mtv.​co.​kr) declared December 23 as “TVXQ Day” and will air special programs about the group.

What other group gets its own holiday except for TVXQ? That's how legendary they are :D

 

Tohoshinki's Breakout:

Oricon style recently updated their website with revenue earnings from DVD+CD sales in 2009. In Japan, Tohoshinki came in at number 3 raking in ¥6,895,000,000 or $76,910,190. Oricon also put in a small snippet on how TVXQ made such a huge leap in a short amount of time and that there's no telling how far the boys can go in the future.

Here's the top 3:

1 - Arashi - ¥14,461,000,000 (161.3 million USD)
2 - EXILE - ¥12,932,000,000 (144.2 million USD)
3 - Tohoshinki - ¥6,895,000,000 (76.9 million USD)

Congratulations to these three groups!

Members of the Korean Cassiopeia, TVXQ/DBSK's official fanclub, have released their official statement regarding SM Entertainment's press conference regarding legal dispute involving DBSK which took place yesterday. Here is the translated version of their statement:

We 800,000 Cassiopeians would like to announce our official view in this statement. With accusations and allegations flying everywhere, we announce this in order to show the fanclub's official standing on this matter. This statement is made by union of numerous DBSK fan cafes and we present this in the name of Cassiopeia.

First of all, we would like to say that, as fans of DBSK, we support DBSK and will not do anything to betray their trust in us. We will not trust anything besides words that come out of the DBSK members' mouths, and we ask SME to stop actions that are intended to confuse and divide the fans.

We Cassiopeians are very disappointed in SME for holding press conference and releasing signed documents in the name of Yunho and Changmin. As the management company of DBSK, SME must not forget their job and must stop their actions intended to defame the members of DBSK and break the group apart. Also, according the the court ruling made on the 27th, SME must not make deals with third parties in the name of the three members and cannot interfere with individual works or those members. Please keep the court's order.

To everyone who is reading this statement, please remember: the members did not take legal actions because of the issues regarding the cosmetics business. They started this lawsuit because of illegal contract length of 13 years. We fans do not understand why SME is silent about the issue of the contract length and is trying to focus everyone's attention on the cosmetics fiasco. The goal of this lawsuit was to nullify or edit contract between SME and the three members, and we believe that they did not intend to end DBSK or move onto another management company. Also, we would like to address to reporters who sensationalize and create rumours related to this press conference. Please be careful with your sources.

We would like to ask SME one more time to not make the three members' reputation and rights suffer with claims that have never been proven, and we would like to ask the citizens of Korea to stop creating rumours and defame DBSK. We would like to show our condolences toward this controversy.

As Cassiopeians, the fans of DBSK, we will keep our attention focused to the future actions of DBSK and SME. We will continue to side with DBSK. DBSK and fans will never doubt eachother.

-- November 2nd, 2009, Cassiopeia, the fanclub of DBSK

All I can say is, GO CASSIOPEIA!

ChannelV is hosting something called "The Battle of Pop" and this time, it's Jpop vs. Kpop!  It's round two and DBSK is up against Mika nakashima. Each round ends on sunday! You can vote everyday if you want to !!! So please vote for DBSK/Tohoshinki!! Plus, they're the only Kpop artist that is left in the competition. T.T so go vote for them!! http://www.channelv.com/rde/v/3564_3567.htm

TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki is in the latest issue of "Duet Magazine." This is supposedly a big deal because the magazine had only put Johnny's Entertainment groups in the magazine, and having TVXQ in the issue will make it the first time a non Johnny's group is in the magazine.

Johnny's Entertainment is known for putting pressure and oppression on other companies but there's a feeling that they're making an exception for TVXQ. The reason being that TVXQ is huge in the asian market with the "World Record" fan club of over 800,000 registered fans (thats not counting the ones that AREN'T part of their fanclub,cuz I know that Hero Jaejoong, the center one has more than four million  fans) and Johnny's wanting to expand into these asian markets in the future. They want to have friendly relations because they don't want to be seen as rivals and it'll be better for them image wise with a friendly relationship.

TVXQ is doing big things in Japan at a very rapid pace, just a year ago they weren't allowed on certain Music Shows or Magazines (limited to Johnny's), but now they're breaking down all those barriers. It's good to see them grow and be more accepted in Japan. Thanks to BBang, tvxqlover, tinbum for the tips.
