CHALLENGE: DAY 12: After School

CHALLENGE
DAY 12
Group: After School

FAVORITE : SONG

This MV and song are both great and it is generally thought of as the best song AS has ever promoted.

FAVORITE: MV

The whole theme of this video is pretty unique, entertaining and eye catching. The dance is different and the introduction is just so cool.

FAVORITE: LIVE

This is quite hard for me because I do not follow AS a lot, but I really do like the song, "Shampoo", so here is the live. Playgirlz please suggest better lives or a particular song you love by After School !

CHALLENGE: DAY 11: Big Bang

CHALLENGE
DAY 11
Group: BIG BANG

Okay so for this challenge Double A has asked me to participate, since I have more... let's say... expertise in the "BIG BANG area."  So here we go! - Mizukyu

FAVORITE : SONG

This one was hard to choose, since all BIG BANG songs are awesome, but alas, there is only one winner, which is "Number 1" from one of their Japanese albums. The beat is awesome, making it extremely catchy and it's in English, so that's a plus.

FAVORITE: MV

My favorite MV from BIG BANG is from their song "Beautiful Hangover," from one of their Japanese Albums. I have to say, the camera work, colors, and  is excellent. Not only that, but the obsession G-Dragon has with his lover seeps out of the screen... and who wouldn't want Taeyang stalking them right? The reason I didn't go for "Haru Haru" or "Lies" is because those are classics, and this might have been a gem some fans never saw.

FAVORITE: LIVE

This is one of BIG BANGS best performances, no doubt. They always go the extra mile for their fans as their performances are always top notch. Their performance for "Tonight" really is just spectacular, as G-Dragon brings out the whole essence of the song by playing the acoustic guitar.

CHALLENGE: DAY 10: SNSD

CHALLENGE
DAY 10
Group: SNSD

FAVORITE : SONG

My favorite SNSD song is no other than "Let it Rain", from their first Japanese album. I love this song and it's one of the most played tracks on my i-pod.

FAVORITE: MV

Choosing a favorite MV was hard, and I was tempted to be biased and choose Gee because of Minho but I won't :P Rather I will choose the MV of their promotional song "Chocolate Love" , because it is one of my only favorite songs by SNSD that actually has an MV... well that and "Into the New World."

FAVORITE: LIVE

My favorite live by SNSD is that of "The Great Escape" because the choreography is different from the typical SNSD choreography, it is quite fierce in a subtle way, and it is really entertaining to watch because the it is not repetitive. May I add that I prefer the Japanese music SNSD has produced compared to most of their Korean work.

CHALLENGE: DAY 9: C.N. Blue

CHALLENGE
DAY 9
Group: C.N. Blue

FAVORITE : SONG

"Kimio" is my favorite C.N. Blue song and IDK why !?!? Maybe because it's different. I love most of the groups songs but Kimio just pulls me in. Oh by the way this song is in Jap. I think there is a Korean version by a different name, but I don't like it, the Kimio chorus is gone, and it looses the feel. Credit for subs goes to nananality@ YT.

FAVORITE: MV

This was hard but I would have to give it to 직감, because the boys actually look like criminals ! That's a compliment ^^

FAVORITE: LIVE

I was not sure on what performance to choose but I love the two songs they sing here. The first song "Love Light" is one of my favorites, and Yonghwa supposedly wrote it while thinking about Seohyun (SNSD) during their time on WGM. The song even has the chorus of Genie in it at one point, "I'm Genie for You Girl". The second song "Love", is super catchy, and super entertaining. I also love how we get to see so much of Jonghyun ^^

CHALLENGE: DAY 8: f(x)

CHALLENGE
DAY 8
Group: f(x)

FAVORITE : SONG

This song sounded childish to me at first becouse of the Mr. Boogie chorus, but it's actually pretty catchy and I Love it. The lyrics are also pretty cool. Credit for subs goes to THEKPOPGIRL1 @ YT.

FAVORITE: MV

My favorite video for f(x) is Chu~♡ and I even have it saved on my computer. I love how the girls (Sulli and Krystal) actually look their age, and how the choreography is so playful.  Do it do it Chu ! It's true true true it's you! I also love the concept of innocence, and the frog on the floor ^^

FAVORITE: LIVE

This performance is my favorite because of the intro which is really fierce, and because the crowd sounds so hyped even thou it is the girls debut stage. & Victoria looks awesome doing that cartwheel !

CHALLENGE: DAY 7: MBLAQ

CHALLENGE
DAY 7
Group: MBLAQ

FAVORITE : SONG

One Better day just makes me feel good, I like other MBLAQ songs but this one is just so uplifting, don't you think ? Credit for video and subs goes to JkStraik88 @ YT.

FAVORITE: MV

I love the style of this MV as well as the outfits, the dance, everything !!! They all look so handsome.

FAVORITE: LIVE

Shallow me, I like this live because Joon looks hot crying !!! LOL JK I actually love "Y" live, their all so emotional. Joon is a pretty good actor. The choreography for this song is also one of my favorites (because Joon does that thing with his shirt LOL.) Thunder looks like he wants to shed a tear <3, G.O is all sexy like always, Seungho is handsome, and Mir is all manly. P.S. Lee Joon actually bares his abs in "Oh Yeah"  for those of you who have denied your eyes from his glory !!! (Okay I'll stop LOL)

CHALLENGE: DAY 6: KARA

CHALLENGE
DAY 6
Group: KARA

FAVORITE : SONG

For Favorite song I will choose " Rider" a very upbeat track from their new album. It's just makes me want to dance. Credit for video goes to jkpop55 @ YT.

FAVORITE: MV

WOHOO I love LUPIN, this MV is so addicting to watch, at least for me !!! This song is also one of my favorites !!!

FAVORITE: LIVE

This is my favorite song, but I love this live from their Jap. drama Ukarara, it is just so emotional and really reaches the heart, so I am putting it here. This song is also sung in Korean and is named Dear Kamilia, but I just love the Jap. version so much more. I'm really loving the Japanese style of music Kara is adapting.

P.S. From listening to Kara for a while now I've realized most of their songs which are not tittle tracks are very sweet and have very heart touching messages. Check them out.^^

CHALLENGE: DAY 5: SS501

CHALLENGE
DAY 5
Group: SS501

FAVORITE : SONG

I'm just going to say thank god I'm doing this challenge. I knew about SS501, but hadn't had the chance to listen to some of their songs (in reality I had only listened to like 3). I fell in love with Deja Vu, Because I'm Stupid and Ur Man, although I still have to hear a lot more from these boys. My favorite song until know is "Deja Vu" !!!

FAVORITE: MV

I found that I enjoy all of their MV's, but for today I'm posting "A Song Calling For You." This MV makes me smile every single time !!! I love this song and the members crazy antics ^^

FAVORITE: LIVE

Everything in this performance is so beutifull, from the violins to the music to the set to the boys ^^ I found this performance sexier as it progressed LOL Like from 4:28 on ... specially with Jung Min and Kyu Jong getting all touchy feely. I'm actually impressed with Triple S's and their fanchants, in some performances they drown the boys out.

My Conclusion: They boy's of SS501 make good music alone but together its incomparable. 


If anyone wants to leave suggestions for more SS501 songs or MV's, even variety shows, please do !!! Thanks !!!! 

CHALLENGE: DAY 4: 4minute

CHALLENGE
DAY 4
Group: 4minute

FAVORITE : SONG

This song is great, because it just makes you want to dance. I play this song when I wan't to move LOL Seriously !!!

FAVORITE: MV

Let's be honest here, most of 4minute's MV's look cheap. Although the choreography and songs are great the tackiness of the MV's just annoys me. Let's blame Cube. Therefore, I'm choosing the MV for "I My Me Mine", becouse I love the coreography and it's not as bad as the rest.

FAVORITE: LIVE

Hot Issue is Iconic, and this performance is very powerful. Check it out.

CHALLENGE: DAY 3: FT Island

CHALLENGE
DAY 3
Group: FT Island

FAVORITE : SONG

I have a soft spot for this song and MV, because it was my introduction to k-pop. This track will always remain one of my favorites.

FAVORITE: MV

I love FT Islands new MV becouse we get to see a lot more of the members, and the scenes are very beutiful. I was tempted to say HELLO HELLO because I love Jajejin's scene when he raps on the firetruck, but i resisted.

FAVORITE: LIVE

I love this song to death, and I did not use it for favorite song becouse I've laready mentioned this in a previus post some time ago. Anyway I will use it as favorite live performance becouse I love how Hongki goes drunkard on everyone, he's an awesome performer. I also love how Seunghyun and Jong Hun just keep on sinsging and playing like nothing happened. All of these boys are so handsome.

CHALLENGE: DAY 2: Miss A

CHALLENGE
DAY 2
Group: Miss A

FAVORITE : SONG

This song is from their new album and it's called "One to Ten", This is one of my favorite songs, for the feeling it conveys. Some other song I like are, Love Alone and Love Again. Credit for subs and vid. goes to henrylam2 @ YT

FAVORITE: MV

This MV is their latest MV, and is very nicely shot and edited, showing the girl's dance moves perfectly. The story line also fits the song and conveys power.

FAVORITE: LIVE

This Live performance for MAMA 2010 was great, since they changed it up a little when performing their hit Bad Girl Good Girl, also, the second song BREATH was sang in Mandarin for the first time.

CHALLENGE: DAY 1: Infinite

CHALLENGE
DAY 1
Group: INFINITE

FAVORITE : SONG

This was a hard one for me since I LOVE many of Infinite's songs, if not all. This song was chosen because it's one of my favorites and is competing for the top spot, below you can find links to my other three favorite Infinite songs.  Credit for subs goes to CHRiSTiNAxBREAD @ YT I am going to take the liberty of recommending a couple more songs, which are also my favorite, to those who might be interested in Infinite. 1. Tic Toc 2. Hysterie 3. Shot

FAVORITE: MV

I love most of Infinites MV's but Nothing's Over is so interesting and original, that it takes the win. I specially enjoyed the tumbling toilet paper XD

FAVORITE: LIVE

I was not in love with this song because I found the MV rather boring, since it was missing the trademark Infinite moves, but all that changed once I saw the live version. Let me just say Wow! that's some epic hip trusting.

CHALLENGE: Favorite MV,LIVE & SONG

I've been noticing that I've been focusing on only some certain groups when writing in this blog. This is strange coming form a person that has like 100 different k-pop artist on her i-pod. So in order to expand the readers horizons and my own i'm taking on a challenge. I'm still updating on the usual suspects, aka SHINee, SuJu, and TVXQ, because they equal LOVE.

The credit for the following challenge is not clear but you can find it here. I am taking the liberty of modifying it so it is a little different than the original.
