Will be busy & away from 28 Aug to Sept 1. As usual, traveling for business.
Intermittent access to the Internet though.

Lately my love for SHINee boys are multiplied like hundreds time, and I mean I love ALL of them, each individual, and the whole group (although Taemin is still No.1 but it doesn't mean the rest doesn't receive anything).
I feel like bursting with love, pride, and bliss, when I look at each of the kiddies... How embarrassing!

SHINee needs to work hard for the Award of Best Newcomer @ Daesang Award (?!) at the end of the year. SHINee can make it.
And me too. I have a special task to be achieved in December. It's quite challenging, but I must bring it to reality. I can make it.

Let's fight together, kiddies!

"You're like Oxygen" IS DAMN ADDICTIVE. A remake, yes it is. So what? Some fans complain about having a remake as the title song / main song for their 1st album, but seriously I don't think it's a big problem. The original isn't that, uhm, catchy and contagious. But if the remake version can do the job better, it's still good. Remake or not, what's the problem?

I'm playing this track like 127465910048230 times with my Ipod I'm destroying my ears O____O;;;; I especially enjoy the last chorus and all the A Capella towards the end of the song. Makes me so addicted.
Its style is different from Noona's so it's quite incomparable, and some may say it ain't as catchy as Noona is --- but omg there's something just ... fresh and irresistible about it. Can't tell exactly, but absolutely the charm is there. After a few listens, as I'm familiar with the rhythm, I think I'm gonna REPLAY this song for a long time ~.~
Let's REPLAY with SHINee, again.

I can't wait until it sweeps the charts.

And the MV is released!!!



Watch Teaser?

Official tracklisting:

1. The SHINee World (DOO-BOP)
2. 사랑의 길 (Love's Way)
3. 산소 같은 너 (Love like Oxygen) [ Live Perf @ Inkigayo | Watch MV ]
4. 너 아니면 안되는 걸 (ROMANTIC)
5. 그녀가 헤어졌다 (One for Me)
6. 화장을 하고 (Graze)
7. 마지막 선물 (Last Gift) (In my room-Prelude)

11. In My Room (Unplugged Remix)
12. 누난 너무 예뻐 (Replay)


So they gather some songs from their mini album as well. 10 new songs will be included. Great! (But why does each song have an English title? Like Noona Nomu Yeppo a.k.a Replay - which doesn't make any sense here )
Too bad they don't promote Replay Boom Track I want it, I love that one so much, somehow it even surpasses the original one!
Btw, I dislike the cover. I thought it was PS-ed but then it doesn't seem so. Too bad, I don't like that electric, shocking green.

OK, on August 28 the album will be released.
Pre-order. NOW!

P.S. I've noticed I've written more blogs since SHINee enters my life *blushes*

Lately there's not much interesting things with Asian Pop, for me, that's why I keep coming back and forth with US & UK songs.
This time, it's the Jonas Brothers, a nice experience and discovery for me!
Yeah, a hot name these days, especially with their upcoming sitcom on Disney Channel.




Their album is good I'm pretty surprised that I'm enjoying it. At first, my thought was "Oh, another Hanson?". But yeah, they're not Hanson. Well I'm glad I gave them a chance.

1. BB Good ♫
2. Burnin' Up ♫
3. Shelf
4. One Man Show
5. Lovebug ♫
6. Tonight
7. Can't Have You
8. Video Girl
9. Pushin' Me Away
10. Sorry ♫
11. Got Me Going Crazy
12. A Little Bit Longer ♫

My rating:

All songs are quite good, those with the ♫ are my personal favorites, and perhaps the standouts of the whole album. Will come back and write more after a few listening.

Yes, you are ...

You're like Oxygen!

The song's a remake, the rumor was right. But SM is good at making remakes successful, and this time isn't an exception.
It still fits in the "contemporary" thing of the boys, so no problem at all.

Now onto the song itself ...
Holy, the song's so darn addictive and fresh! A complete difference from "Noona Nomu Yeppo", and the boys've done an awesome job.
Singing is good (well I believe with this song, singing isn't the most important thing).
Dancing is amazing. The new choreography looks complicated but really good to our eyes, right? Especially the sliding M.Jackson-look alike during the chorus, I like it so much. I'm already addicted, geez! When will they release the album? And also the way they flip the end of the coats' tails up to the air... O____O

Maknae stole his appa's hat with the hat looks so fine... Now I agree that it looks sorta "retro" here. Congrats baby, you let me in awe once again with your amazing dancing. But I gotta say, I'm not happie with you tearing your shirt at the end of the Dance Battle... *sighs* it's just me, whatever...

This song WILL DEFINITELY SWEEP ALL THE CHARTS. Believe Or Not.

And, to end the spazzing,
I'm IN LOVE.
AGAIN.

They have not disappointed me *smiles contentedly *

SHINee, you are like Oxygen!
