Mixed feelings on this one on many levels. The song, choreo, special effects - it's all very inconsistent. Mostly, just 'meh', but there are some pretty cool moments. Enough to not simply dismiss it. As for the rest... well, let's just say it in math: TVXQ - 3 ≠ TVXQ. My suggestion? Watch this, but then go watch Mirotic... on repeat.

Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop Piano Solo
Original Facebook post on September 21, 2012 at 4:52pm:
Just ... awesome. Yoko Kanno is a musical genius. I highly recommend this if you enjoy piano, blues, Cowboy Bebop, or great music in general. The video quality is crap at 240p, but the audio is surprisingly good.

So many reasons to love this video. Song is good, choreo is simply mind-blowing (esp at the 3:20 mark), and the message is great.
Side note: When Genki Sudo was an MMA fighter, he would hold up a banner after each victory which said "We are all one" with flags of many different countries.

Super Star K4 - Gangnam Style Cover

Like Gangnam Style? Check this out ... These kids do a fabulous acoustic version for SuperStarK4. Their voices are absolutely amazing. No, no they don't do the dance. They have a bit of a rocky start, but in the end, Psy definitely approves. ^^

U-KISS - Stop Girl M/V
Original Facebook post on September 19, 2012 at 10:25pm:
New U-KISS!! ^_^ Love it. (And not just because they're my favorite group.) Absolutely love that Kiseop finally has more lines. The only thing I'd change is Dongho's hair... -_- Can't wait to see the live performance in about 6 hours!

G-Dragon - Crayon M/V
Original Facebook post on September 16, 2012 at 12:28pm:
Didn't want to like this, 'cause he irritated me with One of a Kind, but after the first "Why so serious?" I just couldn't help it. The MV is definitely full of weird and crazy. The song's growing on me, but I can tell it's not going to be a favorite.
Crayon is supposed to be short for 'crazy on'. So 'get your crayon' is 'get your crazy on'. Of course, I wouldn't know this unless I had seen an interview.

FT Island - I Wish M/V

Spanish guitar and trumpet in a k-pop song? Yes. And totally awesome. I'm don't usually like FT Island, so the fact that I was hooked on this song on the first listen was a surprise. The video is unremarkable, but not terrible.

Orange Caramel - Lipstick M/V

Pretty dang funny. Ah, the epic sport of table tennis. The song reminds me of We No Speak Americano. I haven't decided if I really like it all that much yet, though.

Trigun OST - Lost Planet

If I still played clarinet well, I would love to scare up a woodwind quartet and play this. It's very beautiful.

Even though there are parts of the series I don't like and it's a bit depressing, it's still high on my list of favorites. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible.

EXO-K - Machine (Fanmade M/V)
Original Facebook post on September 6, 2012 at 1:20am:
Now my brain is switching between "Oppa, Oppa", the piano piece I shared yesterday, and this song. There's no MV, so a fan created one from some of the *23* teasers that SMEnt released before the group debuted. I don't particularly like the first few seconds of the song, but the chorus is what sticks in your head... like peanut butter on the roof of your mouth with no milk in sight.

Acid Black Cherry - Black Cherry (Live)
Original Facebook post on September 1, 2012 at 2:03am:
My favorite Acid Black Cherry song so far. (It starts at about 0:35.) Love how it starts out slow with a definite black-and-white movie feel, then they really kick it into gear. Absolutely love it. Only problem is that they lyrics aren't exactly ... appropriate. Fortunately I don't know enough Japanese yet where I have to think about it. (Ha!) So I'll just enjoy yasu's awesome vocals, the amazing guitar solo, and kick-ass brass and pretend I never looked up the translation. >_<
