When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.

sooo good~~~ never fails to disappoint
I got my copy today - I love how they split it into emotion and Energy - Emotion is really calming, but I prefered Energy. I can't get enough of Wannabe.
So I just got back from the SuJu concert, and I have to say it was amazing. It ended up being something around 3 hours long. Each of the 13 members did a solo performance.
There was a performance of Super Junior-M's new song Super Girl, in addition to another new song from their album that they actually haven't released yet.
Super Junior-T did Superman and Rokkuko!
Super Junior did the title songs from all of their albums, their rendition of Gee (complete with the costumes and lots of 희사카), after which Super Junior-Happy did Sunny and Pajama Party to end the show...
after which they did an encore of like 3 more songs.

ahh they were both so good!
still didnt go through it all but i really liked trot, moonwalker, 선물, wannabe, MAZE!!!
Not sure what to think of this. Kinda like it but can't really take it seriously. The name is HAM and the chorus is "T.T Dance" how can you take that seriously?

XD That's cool that you got to go. I loved the format this time around. Because the Seoul concerts were performed before Super Girl came out we're going to have to wait for our lives and we didn't get an encore! Still, it was very good anyway.
i already said this on the live stream but i couldn't actual believe it but there is someone in a girl group UGLIER than hyoyeon. that blonde girl in ham urgh.

So underwhelmed by them - HAM is a stupid name and their single sounds like 'titty dance' - which should be funny, but it's just dumb. So bored of all these new groups now. What Korea needs is more awesome indies rock bands (nothing too hardcore, but more relaxing styles.) like Japan has.

I agree. And holy, that blonde girl looks horrible. Her EYESSSSSSSSS ahhhhhhhhh
Like NeverGG said, I loved that concept of splitting two albums between Emotion and Energy. I liked Emotion so much more because that's just the kind of music that I enjoy hearing. There are way too many (trashy) groups in the korean pop scene. I stopped following after the "So Hot" period because the influx of terrible artists keep appearing.
I don't mind T-ara, 거짓말 is a pretty catchy song after a while. I like them more than 4minute and f(x) at least. Their new song with Supernova (TTL) adds to their 'stability as a popular idol group' if you could say.
On the other hand though, HAM just blows. I fail to see them becoming successful in the future. Fire whoever came up with the concept.
A pretty cool article on the media interviewing the musicians performing at the Asia Song Festival.
On September 18th, during the Asia Song Festival press conference, many top Asian artists were gathered to form part of the highly anticipated event. After the jump you can watch a video in which 2NE1's CL answers a question in English, while Japanese artist Gackt answers his questions in Korean. Also check out Girls' Generation's multilingual abilities... Sooyoung speaking Japanese, Tiffany speaking English, and Hyoyeon bustin' out her Beijing-style Mandarin. Also, check out Yuri's wink behind Gackt.
I think CL's English is pretty good (sound quality is kinda poor, but I heard no accent) and I'm curious on how her Japanese is since she lived in Japan when she was young. It was pretty interesting to hear Gackt speak in Korean even though I don't listen to the guy.
