New Song from Ken Hirai, Kanjani8, NS 윤지, Mighty Mouth and Rainbow
Long time no posting... have lesser time than before because I've got a job now. Recruited on 7th October 2010. It is an IT service, maintenance and outsource company. And I like my job cause it gives me opportunity to develop myself and implement my own ideas about recruiting people and screened the candidate to the users. It's hard at the beginning because I have to clean up the mess from the person that I replaced. There are some pending jobs.. But now its getting better.I hope in the future it will be more organized candidates database that we have. And thanks got that I have partner, If not I would hang myself (kidding).
And I have some new song for ya... lets see first
平井堅 - Sing Forever
I love Ken Hirai... although he is gay.... instead of that matter he has nice voice of soul. And this is from his latest album...Sing Forever.
関ジャニ∞(Kanjani8) - Animal Magic
This is a Japan boyband... but I like Arashi more than them. Kanjani8 have a new compilation album from their best singles and this their newest single from 8uppers compilation album that consist of 2 CDs.
NS 윤지 -춤을 춰
A new single from NS Yunji. I do not know her yet, but I kinda like her song. It is a dance song like Sondambi "Saturday night" or Baek Ji Young "My Ear Candy" ... owww just decide it for yourself lah... hehehehe
마이티 마우스 (Mighty Mouth) - 사랑이란 (Feat. 김희선)
Next is from Mighty Mouth feat Kim Hee Sun. I love to hear the voice of Kim Hee Sun in this song. It's just a sweet song and it combined with this duo creative rapper. I missed her acting .... T_T
레인보우(Rainbow) - Mach
Ah these girls already ended their "A" promotion and comeback with "Mach". Still I do not know what this song about. Definitely about love. And it is a smooth dance song not as aggression like "A" with their abs dance....

New Song From 남녀공학(Co-Ed), Beige feat Ryeowook, T-ara and Miss A
Life is harder when you feel so.... useless.... everything is so wrong. Well, again music is my running away from reality.Trying to read in Hangeul but still don't understand the meaning *sigh*. It also happen when I try to read Japan character. Always stuck when I see Kanji characters. *SIGH* Have a lot to learn. Let's Go!!!!
남녀공학(Co-Ed) - Too Late (Part.1)
They are new group which contain boys and girls. It is rare to see mixed gender group although there are already B2K and..... who else... Koyote.... Roora ..... but this group has 10 members. 6 boys and 4 girls. They debuting with dance pop song. It is a brave movement from Core Contents Media to create mixed idol group. Hope they can have love from their fans and success for their debut.
베이지(Beige),려욱(Ryeowook) - 친구와 사랑에 빠질 때
A Collaboration between Super Junior member, Ryeowook, with singer Beige. It is a sweet song if I can tell you. Ryeowook have a light voice of a male singer. Which is I don't like it. He sounds like male teenager to me.
티아라 (T-ara) - 하늘땅 별땅
This is a comeback song from T-ara. It's kinda disappointing for some reason. The song is a cover version of other singer... I do not know who...It said that this song is not having a good response in any charts and they are in below position on music charts. I guess their comeback is a failure one. It is still a single though. I hope they have another song to promote. T-ara .. Fighting!!!
Miss A - Breathe
The JYP girls is back. I can tell you that they are much better than Wonder Girls. Their new song is having a cute rhythm and I like it. I can't stop playing it. And I guess breath is popular title right now. Beast also released their comeback with "Soom" which means breath. There are also IssaxSoulja, Japanese duo, also released Breath as their song title. Yes I think we have to breath to stay alive =P
ARgh why the weather is not friendly these days. I can't continue because it's gonna rain... Ussually the connection will be getting worst and there is a possibility of having lightning. and I don't want my modem have a lightning crashed again. So .... see you later....

New Songs from HAL CALI, JAY'ED, JQT, Kalafina, 이지혜, Rottyful Sky and 란(Ran).
I'm feeling worst than this morning.. I don't know why. A feeling of unwanted, useless, alienated, or whatever it sounds bad. When I hear anything that is annoying I feel so terrible and it shows on my face. I can't control what is on my face. But I'd rather be quite... Cos everything comes out from my mouth is bad things. And they will not like it. And hearing music and sing to it makes me a little bit better. Still I have to face my problems. But I attend to run away from it. I don't want to have confrontation with family. Strange, cos I have a good relation with people outside my family. It's just weird even for me.
HALCALI - Roman Hikou
It's a happy song with ska rhythm at the reff... jump jump jump jump!!!!
JAY'ED - Shine
Listening to this song makes me energize again... Mimi o sumase ba kimi no koe ga kikoete kuru
Oikake te mo tsukami tai boku nitotte no kagayakeru hito.... Just saw the video.. he's not like Japanese at all. =P
JQT - Tip-Toe
I like this song cause it has more beat than "Don't need to know". Just like Kpop typical.
Kalafina - Kagayaku Sora no Shijima ni wa
I like the voice harmonization of this 3 girls... their voice just like fairies to me....
이지혜 - 길을 잃었어
Can/t say much. Just love her voice and the music.. it's perfect when you are daydreaming. Walking in the park. Looking at the sea.. somewhere that is sanctuary.
Rottyful Sky 로티플스카이 - No Way
Ah... dance song... ajeb ajeb... like it...
란(Ran) - 세상이 내게준 아름다운 선물 (feat. 백찬 Of 에이트)
Daydreaming song......... ^_^

New Songs from Ayumi Hamasaki, GLAY, Koda Kumi, Iconiq and 2NE1.
Lonely, jobless and have nothing to do. What a boring life I have. Just wait the time for me to die. While waiting, music is all I have to fill the emptiness in my head. And here are the new songs that I have. Hope you can enjoy it and have a great life!
Ayumi Hamasaki - crossroad
I just love Ayumi Hamasaki from the first time. Always have strong lyrics and melody. Whether it is a fast rhythm or ballad song. It always takes me away......
GLAY - PRECIOUS
J-rock is back in action.....
Koda Kumi - Suki de, Suki de, Suki de
Koda Kumi is back with ballad songs and ... I just love Jpop. Sometimes I can not describe why I like it. It just feels good in my ear, my brain and my heart.
ICONIQ - Light Ahead
I didn't know that Iconiq is Korean... aka Ayumi. But she quite gaining success in Japan. And why has to be bald?? well, not all...
2NE1 - Go Away
It is mid-tempo song from 2NE1. It' s good to hear though. Good job girls...
EXILE - Motto Tsuyoku
It's a ballad song from the uncles of EXILE =P. This song is fit in anime... what kind though???
That's for now... I have more to share but I will continue later. I have to take my father to busway station at Ragunan. Hope I will see you soon after that....

New Song from C.N.Blue, San E, Miss $, GavyNJ, 2NE1, SonDamBi, Clear, Coin feat LAdy Jane, 임정희, Sori and Anna
Yo.... this blog is really lame as I can see. Maybe I just change it. What's the name then?? Mind Corner and the description is "what catch my thoughts right now?"
Waiting for this blog to change... I will give you new songs from my folder... Hope you can enjoy it...
2NE1 - Can't Nobody
I really love this song. I love YGFamily....!!!! No one can bring them down!!!!!
가비엔제이(Gavy NJ) - Let's Stop (그만하자)
And this girl group have powerful voice and harmony. I watched their live performance on KBS Music Bank and I love them. Stunning. I love them more than idols group. If you know what I mean.
Miss $ - 이 나이 먹고 뭐했길래 (Feat. 정슬기)
Miss $ seems to misunderstand as Miss A from JYP. They are different. If I hear their song, they mostly do rapping than singing. The one who is singing usually guest singer. And this time they invite Jung Seul Gi, which is I love her deep voice....
소리(Sori) - 넌 내스타일이 아냐
What I can tell about this singer. I have to admit that she kinda failed. I thought she would bring more upbeat rhythm cos I know that she can do break dancing and all kind of dances. But this song is not too bad. The one that she have to fix is her performance. And wardrobe. Who is in charge with her wardrobe by the way. She needs the bling bling you know. Or you should change agency. Hahahahaha... just kidding. Kim Sori..Hwaiting!!!!
C.N.Blue - I don't know why
This is their Japanese single but the lyrics is in English. Congratulations to them cos they can ORICON chart for the first time. I do more like the other songs called "Lie" I will share it later.
SonDamBi 손담비 - dB Rider (New Ver.)
New single from the queen (her latest album). I just can't get what this song means. T_T
레이디제인 & 코인(Lady Jane & Coin) - 눈물사탕
Still don't know them and not yet listening to the song too. =P All I know is Lady Jane is a girlfriend of Simon D from SupremeTeam.
clear - [Nee.]
I don't know about this Japan band also. But after hear their whole album, it is a good music that they present. It's worth to listen and buy their album. Guarantee!!! Sorry that I still have to download than buying. In my country it's hard to find the latest Japan and Korean pop and rock album. *SIGH*
임정희 - On the Way to Break Up (feat. Jo Kwon of 2AM)
This song.... I just know that JoKwon from 2AM is in this song Ha Ha Ha Ha...!!!!
산이(San E) - 02 맛좋은산 (Feat. Min)
I love this guy.. hahahaha he is so funny and got support from JYP family.... The way he rapping is fun to hear.
안나(Anna) - 5분만
Hmmm good voice and powerful too. Is she from SM??? All I know she is best friend with Yuri from SNSD. I am enjoying this. So why don't you?
Waiting for this blog to change... I will give you new songs from my folder... Hope you can enjoy it...
