Becca - I'm Alive (Black Butler OST) M/V

Original Facebook post on November 28, 2012 at 10:32pm:

Wish more people knew about this song. It definitely not new (I may have even shared it before...), but it's one of those songs I listen to when I need a kick in the pants to get moving. It was the ending theme for the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler), but it's in English.

JYJ - Get Out M/V

Original Facebook post on November 28, 2012 at 11:19am:

Don't think I've shared any JYJ, although I've shared Junsu's solo stuff. Jaejoong (the first to sing) is a fantastic actor. I'm watching a hilarious drama he's in right now called Protect the Boss. I don't know Yoochun as well (the first one you see in the car). This isn't my favorite song, but the In Heaven MV doesn't show all three of them since it's more story based. And Ayyy Girl ... well, let's just not talk about that one.

Yang Yoseop - Caffeine

Original Facebook post on November 28, 2012 at 2:21am:

This song took a couple of listens to grow on me, but the music video is really interesting. (I would like to burn that bead suit, though.) Yoseob is the main vocalist for the group Beast. The song likens the memories of a man's lost love to caffeine, which keeps him awake. It was written by fellow group member Junhyung, who briefly appears in the MV.

TVXQ - Humanoids M/V

Original Facebook post on November 28, 2012 at 2:00am:

I wake up in the middle of the night, so what do I do? Share k-pop of course! In spite of the bad CGI, sometimes awkward dance, and almost-but-not-really plot, I rather like TVXQ's recent release. One thing that bugs me, though: it sounds like they're saying "humanoise" instead of "humanoids". Most of the time I don't really care, but it's the title of the song and repeated over and over >< Enunciate, guys.

Kim Sung Kyu - 60 sec. M/V

Original Facebook post on November 18, 2012 at 10:33pm:

This is the first solo album and MV for Sunggyu, the leader of the group Infinite. I'm very impressed. Love the song and the video. Another member of Infinite plays the guy in the MV.

Park Jung Min - Beautiful M/V

Original Facebook post on November 18, 2012 at 3:01pm:

His dance moves during the black & white tv part are just hilarious. That's all I'm gonna say.

Dal☆Shabet - Have, Don't Have M/V

Original Facebook post on November 16, 2012 at 10:33pm:

Dal☆Shabet's very fun, very disco-inspired "Have, Don't Have" comes with two different music videos. This is the "Don't Have" version, which looks like it's filmed at a grocery store warehouse. There are some pretty hilarious moments. ^^ Watch out for some very ... interesting outfits at the end. The "Have" version is here.

LED Apple - Let the Wind Blow M/V

Original Facebook post on November 15, 2012 at 10:51pm:

Hm. Let's try sentence fragments~ Interesting band with 2 lead singers who also do basic dances. 4th single this year. Been kinda following them since Time is Up in Feb. Weird MV, but kinda cool. Definitely a unique sound in k-pop atm. Awkward choreo, but not nearly as awkward as Run to You. -_- Overall, good but not quite awesome.

B1A4 - Tried to Walk M/V

Original Facebook post on November 15, 2012 at 6:42am:

B1A4 is back with a more serious song. It's pretty good, but I kinda miss their old cheesy image, honestly. It seems like the 2011 groups are starting to try to put aside the cutesy concept. At least for now.

Ailee - I Will Show You M/V

Original Facebook post on November 11, 2012 at 8:43am:

Ailee has an amazing voice. This song starts out slow, then really kicks into gear about a minute in. The music video is okay, but I think she's absolutely fabulous live. No lipsync here, although they did edit two performances together. Fun fact: Ailee is actually from New Jersey.

Update: The live performance was removed from YouTube, so here's the MV instead.

Boyfriend - Janus M/V

Original Facebook post on November 7, 2012 at 11:00pm:

This is a fantastic image and sound change for the normally cutesie group Boyfriend. Love the video, love the song. Now if only they'd change their name >< lol
