[JPop] OST Piece - YUMA (Mini Album) Missing Piece

For a rookie guy in dramaland, Yuma was quite good. His acting skills is promising. So is when he's singing. The mini album for Piece original soundtrack titled Missing Piece. A simple song but has this catchy feeling to me. The album contain one title but with rich version of it. The original, the instrumen, the strings, the piano, and the another versions. So much for just one piece. Or missing piece :)

The drama itself is interesting, I've been watching since its premiere. A manga-adapted dorama about a girl who have to look back to the past in order to get the meaning of her life, her relationship, friendship, meet many people again and as they pick up various pieces of love, they get close to the true face of the unseen person. It airs every Saturday 24.55 on NTV.

[KPop] G Dragon Release His New EP One Of A Kind

One Of A Kind mini album release in Sept 15 and Sept 18 2012. Have you heard it? I love it, all and all.

Despite I'm not really in to Crayon, the rest six songs is really beautifull. Well made, You don't expect GD do you all around kind of music. But he done it well, with his composing ability, we got many colors of music. I'm not exaggerating, cause it is.

We know One Of A Kind and That XX realease early (the MVs), and I quite satisfied by it. I think OOAK as an intro is a good start. Like, "here, I gave you this effing kind of piece", which is amazing. And Crayon as title song. So many said it will be a hip hop core and I really beyond excited. But once I heard it, I prefer OOAK better. But if you like electro-hiphop with rich instrument (I mean beat plus autotune), you'll be love Crayon. GD got himself cray on on the MV. I like the MV though, funny and cheerful.

And the single with remain-unknown new YG girl group member. Don't you think it's will remind you to  Bigbang song. I mean it will be okay too if Taeyang, Daesung, TOP and seungri fill their voice in that song. The girl have a good voice. Like I could draw how she looks like :p

ThatXX is one of my fave. I've been post it my fangirling side to ThatXX in this post.

Missing You. How I feel rhapsodical to this song. It's a mix of easy pop and rap and a whistle added in the back make me always turn it on repeat. I DEMAND live performance.

Today feat Nell, it's like a band doing this song. I love the hook part, and I believe it will be loved not only by GDragon fans, but also everyone.

Last but not least, Light It Up feat Tablo and Dok2. Okay, now that's what you call a hip hop. It's a modern kind of hip hop, the beat is strong plus Tablo, Gdragon and Dok2 fill different kind of voice which make this song almost perfect.

This album is an EP, yet I like listening a full album, since he make a really multifarious nicety.

You can purchase the Gold or Bronze version of this album in here

[KDrama] Bridal Mask a.k.a Gaksital (2012)

It looks like I've been catching up with a good show lately. Haha. Okay, that was subjective. But if I tell you how my laptop filled with tons of pilot episodes, you will believe me that choosing a good show is hard. Especially when you dig up some with a good cast, pairing, romance, bromance and a little tsunami conflict. I abandoned lots.

Bridal Mask a.k.a Gaksital (I prefer to call it Gaksital, catchy) is set in Korea 30's when Joseon dynasty colonized by the Japanese. Fisrt time I watch this kind of set, and feel snappy about it. Where you can find a mix mode, vintage plus hanbok plus kimono running everywhere, I completely fall in love with the view.

[JDorama] Rich Man Poor Woman Episode 1

In the last two months I doted myself with detective or mystery Japanese series, and it is fun since I have a couple of Ataru episodes to go. But when Shun Oguri arise presenting his new spring season line of series, I really excited. Forgot how long since I saw him in last show.
The drama is fresh, though I presume this will be some melodramatic kind of series at first, by judging their choice to the title. But my guess ain't really a matter cause you wouldn't judge a book by it's cover, would you? It's a drama-comedy by the way.

[JDorama] Kagi No Kakatta Heya (2012)

Title: Kagi No Kakatta Heya, The Locked Room Murders
Format: Renzoku (series)
Genre: Mystery
Viewership Ratings: 16.0%
Theme Song: Face Down by Arashi

What's more enthralled me than good music is a show where they present a detective story. Whether there's a detective, cop detective, or any profession involved. There has to be a mystery and impressive completion.

[REVIEW] BIGBANG 5th EP - Alive

The 5th Mini Album (EP)
Release 2012.02.29
7 Tracks (iclude Daesung Solo)

To make it simple, this album is one of their masterpiece. They’re not like a boyband anymore to me. Its five artists who knows and can sing allied to make great album. The way how they understand their characteristic and try to mix it with music amazed me. Not only a genre, they bring six different genre in every six songs, still, hip hop is the foundation. The five boys surely way more mature than before. You know what they said, what doesn’t kill you make you stronger, and greater for sure.
