Once upon a time Yui and Moa was nearly overcome by the powers of darknes. (Sakura Gakuin, Motteke se-ra-huku, 2010) The Wader was upon them, and all hope would have been lost, if not the ever alert Fox God had mounted his trusty Kitsune-wagon and flown through dimensions to guide Our Heroines on the path of Metal Resistance. Cr: The artist Tim Lewis - here his Kinetic Sculpture "Pony" which is an animatronic interactive piece, exhibited at Kinetica Art Fair (London, 2009) - Pic nicked from this album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/770/sets/72157614568642983 But everyone should really go and see the Kinetica video - the Kitsune-sign throwing Pony is interacting with the audience at 02:20 Screencap Source: EDIT: Link Fixed

I may be noticing the wrong things, but On Dara's instagram I noticed the Double Park Logo - please reactivate! #doublepark on kkhyunjj's instagram the me2day logo instantly made me go there - without luck - no activity since nov. 2013... - BTW: who is kkhyunjj? A personal friend or one of the staff members?

Hispop is actually quite good, and Min-young is a good singer, so it may be worth checking it out.... I would like to see a collab with Minzy, but I don't think that we will get it.

At the festival they announced that Mini-Pati would continue with the current members. (quoted from the https://www.facebook.com/SakuraGakuinJAPAN fansite) Does that mean that they will continue after Yui and Moas graduation? If so it will be a lot of work for them..... hope they will be able to follow high school! Ganbatte!

ON Topic on Anime: Hate You was my intro to 2NE1 and KPop - the visuals drew me in; the voices kept me staying

OT on anime

The picture is hosted on a filesharing site - go to that site and search for what you want - but I think you need to know how to use torrents Like the tearful Blackjack on the Guerilla Date....

Lol.... I know - I just couldn't resist..... Rant Mode: ON Rant mode: Off

Sorry for being an old grammar nazi, but: Congratulations to Minzy! Lets hope there is time for a little vacation.

Thanks for the link. When you look at the pixelcount (480*854) this should be better than the jpopsuki upload (368*720) but when comparing the videos it is obvious that this rip from Yin Yue Tai has been recompressed one time too many - less detail/ muddy colours. The DYLM upload on YT is worse - it looks like one of life's TRUE ABOMINATIONS; the 240p videos on Avexchannell.... (... and who, in this day and age, can be horrified by the idea of a meal without animals, dead or alive??) At first I thought that it was not necessary to download official videos - until I found out that they were not as permanent as the ones stored on my local disk.... The nets are fine for convenience, but is not really usable if you have to be sure that the content you are linking to are the same as when you made the link. This is a general comment... actually YG is one of the nicer uploaders, and it seems like the compagny respect the artists (But I would still like some production notes in their videos) (And my introduction to KPop, and especially 2NE1, came from a suggested YT video...)

You speak the truth - but it is really all about the spin, or rather: do a journalist/writer feel that s/he can be original by writing on the subject... To most civilians Miku is an unknown, but for the rest of us vocaloids are old news, something that will be obvious to any journalist - and therefore there is no motive to do a writeup on Miku. But for BM things are different - even the most cursive look at the trend curves will show how Babymetal still are in the lower part of an exponential rise in attention - And as such they are ripe fodder for any journo who wants to appear "hip" and "young" EDIT: NEWSFLASH: The englishlanguage homepage for The Band are now open: Babymetal.com First impression: The biography is way better than the english one om Babymetal.jp They need to optimize the page: it took 120 seconds to load on a 100 Mb/s connection... ( 6 times the loading time of the .jp page...) EDIT(2): Fanart from loveidol.net:

Have you already deleted the link, or is it hidden? EDIT: OK - I was being slow here (put it down to the age, lol :p) for some reason I have never really done torrents, but it's never too late to start!

The important exposure here is the media exposure, and at a Lady Gaga tour there will be media representatives who are not shocked by "strange" acts. With a little luck this will give them more qualified write-ups than before, so more non-fans get the chance to see that they are MUCH MORE than a novelty act (BM and their team are dedicated to expand their musical universe, so they should be able to deliver quality material long after "kawai metal" has become a stable genre... this genre has the potential to reach everywhere young musicians live and work, just like garage and grunge) EDIT: BTW LG has not updated her artRave homepage with the info...: http://www.ladygaga.com/artrave-the-artpop-ball

Thank you for uploading! But these adflylinks don't work for me - however much of my browser security I disable it continues to stop at the "you need to enanble cookies" screen, and will not link me to the actual video.... fortunately the most important (Come Back Home) is already on jpopsuki in a better resolution.... (1080p is sorely needed, though...) Just as it should be.... I have always worked with organization of knowledge, and don't want to take work home - so my collection is a mess... Untill the beginning of the AON tour I just dumped videos in the KPop video folder (and the pictures in KPop/2NE1, except for the 500 selected in the BomWorship folder...) but all AON material (Videos/ Pictures/ Texts) are in the AON folder (1100 files) I think a have to construct a database to index the material; this year I have tagged: 667 downloads with 2NE1, 629 with CL, 598 with Bom, 362 with Dara and 225 with Minzy (no duplicates) and a few hundred untagged... (The Kpop and 2NE1 collection began in jan. 2012, and back then I downloaded more...) (I try hard to keep the numbers down, and only download material that is Good (technical/artistic quality) or Informative)

You can bookmark the thread in your browser, and update the bookmark when you leave the thread - that way your oh!-2NE1 bookmark will always take you to the page where you were last time.... - I still cant get over how good the JP MV's were! But I would still like to see those that are not remade (just with japanese text) in HD, to get the fullest satisfaction from the new lyrics.... ...speaking of which: The earlier japanese versions of 2NE1 songs have not been direct translations, so - have anybody seen the lyrics (or better yet: a translation) for the japanese versions of the Crush songs, or do we have to wait until the official release?

Shin may be a bit older but he is a MAN, the others are boys..... DYLM JP MV in HD: Do we know this uploader? If 2NE1 In Japan is an official channel that is great news! (no more ruining my eyes on YGEX's 360p uploads; now they only need to change that (XXX) logo!)

I dont remember seeing this TV clip from Budokan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EET_irvvN6k

CL should like this gif..... But for a hetero girl a homo man are NOT the same as a "straight": Not only will he probably act different than a man who have a sexual interest in her, but knowing it she will be able to relax from the more or less conscious sexual/gendered behaviour we all engage in when in compagny of the opposite sex (or the same, if...) I do not think that she made any mistakes, or should have phrased her response different - after all we want to hear her honest voice in interviews, and in this one she simply expressed that being with gay friends gave her an opportunity to relax from the sexualised stare of "straight" society. To me that sounds like a good reason to enjoy the compagny of gays... Ahh....... - in feeling this is worth a 100 reaction videos! - looking forward to more....

So much activity and too little time.. My beard is getting greyer over the prices of the Japanese CD's - nearly USD 60,- (freight included) for a CD/DVD box is but the pictures are so ******* good! Ouch..... (And BTW I like their japanese singing voices) Guess I gotta do what I gotta do - namely stealing them off the internets, but that is getting progressively harder as my love grows.... - and for only the third time in my life I met someone who was aware of KPop (Wondergirls, Big Bang and Taeyang) On an administration course there were some very young mothers (in their early 30'es) that I couldn't resist asking. They answered that it was their involvement in sports dancing that did the trick. So maybe it is in dancing circles I can find someone (in Denmark) to share my interest with. Also: a woman in her early 20'es knew (and disliked) Babymetal.... (probably because she sings in a heavy/hard band! ) As hard as I try I CAN NOT understand the colourmix and cut of the Gotta Be You MV... I really cannot show this to anyone outside the fandom without risking ridicule. A good thing that we have the Inkigayo performance.... and new japanese MV's to look forward to; I truly expect the Crush MV to be the new standard in max swag. This song calls for a powerful video! OK: back to #workingwhilelurking

I have spent more time in front of animals nests, and for some reason that is considered more respectable.... at least those girls had human interaction, which, in the long run, gives them more social skills than I learn from my spiders.... Pholcus Phalangioides have taught me one thing though: "You have to appease unnie or you are lunch" (that is: younger males have to feed the older females to avoid being ambushed and eaten - mature males get to mate... if they remember bringing their food support to the unnies (matriarchs), Elder males die of exhaustion...)

Or maybe not that scary.... they are not stalking. YG's building is a workpace for famous persons, so hanging out in front of it is not stranger than hanging out in front of a concert venue, or a theatre. (But fans should not stand in front of the stars private homes...) As for the time wasting aspect; They appearently had constructive interactions with other fans, so it is not like they didn't learn anything..... Posted 2pages ago: https://soundcloud.com/givemesomesugar/sets/taeyang-2-rise And BTW, I have never really listened to Taeyang - After hearing this, it is obvious that I have made a mistake!

Just before I go to sleep (04:20 local time - work starts at 08...):( That Bom-cut from roommate had one fantastic quaity: as far as I recall this is the first time I have seen HD videos of Bom's eyes WITHOUT circle lenses *downloaded*

Re: FUCK!

youtube user Lutjehart keeps posting speeddrawing videos of Babymetal members - If you have any interest in drawings go take a look.... they are good (!!) and can be enjoyed even if you don't draw.
