Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a while, but I thought I should share this MV around! They are a project group called Unnies from a TV show called Sister's Slam Dunk (Season 2). Basically all the members are celebrities who do different sorts of jobs, but have joined together to create a girl group.
I think the concept is a pretty smart idea as it gives people who haven't released a song album before who would like to have a chance to do it and show off their skills/ try something new. Anyway the MV link is below, enjoy!
Ok so please before we start don't judge, these are just my thoughts ok :)
So before I start, this top 5 countdown post is just for girl groups so don't comment saying I missed out some guy groups because this is only for the girl groups out there(no solo artists either).
At the start I really wasn't into the summer tracks. I didn't find any of them catchy or interesting to watch. I had to really listen to some songs a few times over a period of a few months before I really got into some of these songs I have listed here.
Ok so I have to say that Sistar isn't my favourite groups out there. It was only when I listened to their previous summer track that I really started getting into them and bought some of their albums. These days I don't really watch this song because of the slip performance which I saw which made it a bit hard for me to watch/ listen to afterwards.
I actually got this song stuck in my head for one point, the chorus is pretty catching. Once again I wasn't a big fan of this group, but this song is actually one of my favourites from them, maybe because the song is just a tad less sexy than what they do in some of their other videos.
So some people could be wondering why this is my number 3. This song didn't initially appeal to me, though A Pink is one of my favourite K-Pop girl groups. This song is less upbeat compared to some of the other summer songs out there, but still there's something very catching in this song compared to the other songs, for me anyway. Maybe the dance in the chorus just appealed more to me?? But remember always makes me remember :) I really like Chorong's bit in the song, I think it really suits her soft voice.
Ok so ever since Glass Bead came out I had already been liking their music but this track is really catchy I think. Out of all the songs on my list, I think they are the most natural I think, if I can even explain it like that. It just feels very fresh with the green grass and stuff. But for the song itself I could listen to it again and again really. This isn't number 1 actually, and I was thinking about it but it has a more spring feel don't you think, but does have a hot summer feel of spending time with family don't you think??
Girl's Generation haven't been on my list of girl groups which I follow but after the release of this song I really started watch and listening to more from them. The only thing I really hate about this song is when they sing "P-A-R-T-Y", it's a bit annoying for me, but doesn't kill the whole song for me. So sometimes annoying can be a bad thing, but annoying songs are usually my favourite if they are not too annoying, and in this case there's enough but just to be in my top 1. I was obsessed with this song for quite a while compared to the other songs on this list, which makes it into my top 1 on the list.
Well that's it, these are my top 5 K-Pop girl group summer songs for 2015, enjoy the rest of the holidays and have a happy new year! Can't wait for more K-Pop in 2016! I know there will be many people who have different views from mine so if so please leave a comment telling me your top 5 list. Thanks for stopping by!
This is going to be a blog post about why I listen to K-Pop. So you've seen a few of my posts on K-Pop, but there are people who ask me why I listen to it, especially because I am not Korean. I believe that music is universal, and anyone who speaks any language can enjoy any song. I myself didn't really get into K-Pop until early last year after my cousin introduced me more into it.
Back in the day, I used to only listen to English language music, this was right up until 2010 ended, then something happened to me, I didn't enjoy much English music from 2011+ . I believe that music has evolved for most countries, but none more so than English music. It's hard to explain, but when you take a look at what the songs deals with, then you realise what they're really talking about, but I won't go into detail on what almost everyone are covering their lyrics on(at least the more popular songs), but I felt like they were being used too much, and I felt like a change.
I escaped to more Chinese songs for a while, and back to the older English songs, but even I find the newer Chinese songs are a bit the same to the English style. With K-Pop you have the dancing(very in time), lyrics/ topics which most other languages don't sing about, and catchy music, all with the elaborate packaged albums and awesome looking hairstyles, something I think English albums are slowly being influenced by.
So I'm not saying newer English music is bad or anything. I still listen to the occasional songs, but what this post is more explaining is why I listen to K-Pop music. I've also found that people wonder why you would listen to music which I don't understand. Although some of their lyrics are partly in English, a majority is Korean. This is something English music can't do, though they get around this by mixing up slangs etc, though most people don't notice when it happens.
So yeah, anyway, I hope that explains my K-Pop music history, and why I listen to it. Though the majority of music I listen to is in Mandarin (did you know that some K-Pop groups release Chinese albums (mostly in Mandarin)??), my main area is local Malaysian artists. The style I listened to as a child has changed me to the way I am today and what type of music I listen to,
Post is getting too long so I'll stop it here. Goodnight!!
So I don't know if you have head this news yet but on September 3, 2014 members of Ladies' Code were involved in a severe car accident as their van lost a wheel and ran into a protective wall. Member EunB died while the remaining 6 passengers were injured. Today I learnt about the death of Rise, another member of the group. I can't help but feel very sad about this news. Even though I did not really know about this group, until quite recently, it's very unfortunate to such talented, young women. I hope that the remaining members make a full recovery(haven't really heard much information about them) but most of my news comes from allkpop so if you want to know k-pop news then you can visit that site for more information.
Hopefully something like this never happens ever again. I myself am lucky to have found out about this group and will buy all their albums soon :) Remember to cherish your life and make the most of it, as you never know when the end will come to you, and the people close to you.
