.pop girls- crazy crazy.

okay, so pop girls is actually a filipino girl group.
i think they're the first to do this kind of music in the pinoy industry.
yes, there are similarities with k and jpop. but then again, so what?
i don't think there's anything wrong with going with the trend.
it's better than novelty songs that are played over and over again over the radio.

so, crazy crazy...
by the pop girls.
hmmm... i have to admit, the name kind of sucks.
not much effort given.
oh well...

music-wise, i like it.
it's upbeat and it's catchy.
when i first heard it i didn't even know it was in filipino language. haha.
i wan't paying much attention to the lyrics and when i realized it was filipino, i was like,
omg, i didn't notice!

their voices are nice.
period.

MV? hmmm...
i don't get the point of having to place the gay guy in the vid but otherwise, the vid was okay.

coreography.
coreography was nice.
the girls can dance.
i guess they can improve more on being more synchronized but over-all, it was good.

about their style (fashion).
i don't think there's anything wrong with copying k and jpop artists' fashion.
maybe this would be a good opportunity to encourage people to dress up more.
hopefully, we'd be more adventurous and try our own style in the future.

live performance.
yes, they lip sych...
but then again, a lot of artists do that.
but i do hope they do it live in the future.


that's all for my music review.
i hope this gives way to better music from the philippines and become known in other countries as well.

.bad couple.

[drama]



synopsis:

Choi Gi Chan is an University Botanic Professor with the "perfect genes." The drama is about an editor of a fashion magazine, Kim Dang Ja, who suddenly develops an urge to have her own baby despite opposing the idea of marriage. The story will talk about Dang Ja striving to look for a man with perfect genes to accomplish her mission. Gi Chan happens to be her "target" in order for her to accomplish her mission. The story later develops as Dang Ja must persuade him to do it without any commitments, which is a problem because Gi Chan doesn't believe in the idea of sex before marriage.

[drama]



synopsis:

Megumi Noda, or “Nodame” is a piano student at Momogaoka College of Music. An extremely talented pianist who wants to be a kindergarten teacher, she prefers playing by ear rather than reading the music score. She is messy and disorganized, takes baths several days apart and loves to eat, sometimes stealing her friend’s lunchbox when it is filled with delicacies.

Shinichi Chiaki, is Momogaoka’s top student. Born into a musical family, he is talented in piano and violin and has secret ambitions to become a conductor. An arrogant multi-lingual perfectionist who once lived abroad in the music capitals of the world as a young boy, he feels mired in Japan because of a childhood phobia.

They meet by accident. Nodame quickly falls in love, but it takes much longer for Chiaki to even begin to appreciate Nodame’s unusual qualities. Their relationship causes them both to develop and grow. Because of Nodame, Chiaki got the opportunity to lead a student orchestra and begins to have a broader appreciation of people's musical abilities. Because of Chiaki, Nodame faces her fears and enters a piano competition. Opportunities open up as both begin taking risks, stretching themselves far more than they ever thought possible.

Assuming that she was the best in wrestling, young Hikari challenged Kei to a wrestling match only to be thoroughly defeated by him. Ever since that fateful incident, Hikari swore to beat Kei in school grades, a sporting event - anything. To do this she has enrolled in the same school as Kei since elementary. Now she attends Hakusenkan, an ultra elite school, that costs her carpenter father a lot of money. Hikari and Kei are the top two students in the school, with Kei holding firmly to that number one position.
