Pardon me for this post will be written like a fan girl!
While I was browsing videos earlier, I happened to see this video and I can’t help but squeal with glee! It’s not everyday you get to see this! hahaha
It’s Minhyuk‘s Cam from when CNBLUE was playing I’m Sorry.
Yes I am a Minhyuk fan girl! Hahaha I really really like this kid! (swoon!!!) We don’t really get to see him up front because he plays the drums so most of the time he stays at the back and the other three boys are in front. But I’m really happy they posted a video like this. It’s kind of like a fan service for those shipping him especially because we don’t see a lot of him. And because of this I am one happy fan! ๐
I don’t what is it with me and drummers but I always have preferred always drummers over the lead vocals or the guitarists. I think maybe because to me they are a bit mysterious so I like them. And I’ve always like the drums/percussions over guitars — so no wonder I was drawn to him. From this cam we see that he does play the drums well (I daresay! I think BOICEs will agree too!). My heart is fluttering seeing him twirl those drumstick. (sorry if I made you throw up.. I did say I was going to write this like a fan girl!) I’m really a very very satisfied fan! Oh you boys know how to make your fans happy! hurray for good marketing! ๐
I hope they’d be more videos like this so we can drool over him! Don’t you agree girls!
I love watching dramas, especially Korean and Japanese ones. And almost always I get addicted to the OST of the drama. Recently I have been watching a drama called You’ve Fallen For Meย (Heartstrings) in some websites). I wasn’t really interested at it at first, though I wanted to see it because it’s another musical drama. But now I’m hooked to it, especially because of Min Hyuk (CN Blue’s drummer).
Now in the recent episode of the drama, Park Shin Hye sang my favorite CN Blue song (sorry not giving spoilers). Though it has a different feel, but I love the song! So I am sharing her version.
I have posted the lyrics of the song I Will Forget You sometime last year. It still is until now my favorite CN Blue song. For those who are not familiar, this song is not sung by Yonghwa, but by their other vocalist, Jonghyun. Most people don’t really notice him much because all the attention is on Yonghwa, but he has a good voice too (but in a different way). I found this video, a fancam taken from their showcase last year.
Jonghyun still had that wavy rockstar hair, but I think he looks better with his new hair now.
Anyway, up until recently, I learned that the song actually has an English versionfrom their Japanese album, Thank You. Unknown to most people, ย CN Blue had released an album in Japan before they released one in Korea. It has the same melody, but a different feel though, but their English is quite audible.
No matter what the version is of the song, I still love it. Though it’s a sad one, but definitely people should hear this song especially if they’re mending a broken heart.
While I was on hiatus from the blog, CN Blue has released their new single Intuition. I know rock will always be my ultimate favorite genre of music (but sigh I don’t get too much of that kind of music with Kpop) , but this song wasn’t doing it for me. Maybe because it sounded like I’m a Loner.
But but but… I am elated that they released this single! It’s called L.O.V.E Girl.
Me likey the song. Why? Because it has the certain CN Blue sound but in a different song. It’s a rock song, but you can dance to it at the same time. But not those girl group dances.. kk.. It’s also a new sound for them because you can hear the drums more. It has hints of a 1960’s ย rock song… a little bit like Beatles sound… And boy am I happy when I heard a Jongshin bass guitar solo! He deserves recognition for his talent!
But the video wasn’t really doing for me. Yes, it was nice to see gominam boys (and I have to say all of them looked so fresh in this video). But, how can she not see them!! Girl there’s a man beside your fridge in broad daylight!! Couldn’t you see him?? Ok I might be convinced if she really couldn’t see them all throughout the video, but she did see them at the end.. hmm ok so suddenly she sees them at the end of the video… weird! But anyway this is a music video so anything could happen… so I’d better leave it that way!
I have written sometime last year on this blog that I liked a song called Falling Slowly from the movie Once. Inspired by this and because I just saw a clip of Yong Hwa (CN Blue) and Seo Hyun (SNSD) perform it on We Got Married, ย I decided to feature the different covers of this song done by Kpop idols…
Yes, this song has been sung a lot of times and I think it’s very popular in Korea.. But though a lot of K-artists have been doing their version of the song, I’m still not tired of hearing it! I get all giddy when I hear the first few chords of the song.
So who do you think did the best cover??
Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun (Sweet Potato Couple)
Jo Kwon and Ga In (they sing during the 1:21 mark)
Jinwoon ย and Jo Kwon
Kim Hyun Joong (singing to Hwang Bo.. aw I miss this We Got Married Couple – Lettuce Couple!)
Sungmin and Sunny
And just a plus.. he is not a Korean idol but this kid is korean and he can play the guitar!!! He is Sungha Jung..ย check out his youtube page for more of his videos…
Yes, it’s been a long time since I posted on this blog so don’t wonder why I’m putting up some songs that have been up on some other websites for some time.
When I actually heard CN Blue for the first time, I was amazed because there was at last another rock band (aside from FT Island) that broke through the usual idol obsession of Korean music. Though they still look like idols and Yong Hwa became a star because of the drama “You’re Beautiful”, they sound pretty good! They do really sound good! I am a huge fan of rock music especially when I listen to english songs and japanese songs.. and I think these guys do justice to rock, though their genre is a bit like pop rock, but they are really good.
From what I’ve read (and most of their fans have read), they debuted in Japan. The Japanese music industry is good for rock bands. But in Korea, rock bands are not the usual type of music you hear, it’s mostly idol groups and hip hop. I think they have made an achievement because they did become quite popular with the song I’m a Loner — whenever I hear this song, I can’t help but sayย Oetoriya!
But in this post I am not putting up the lyrics of I’m a Loner because I know you will see the lyrics in a lot of sites online. And if you ask me, I’m a Loner is not my favorite song in the album. My favorite would have to be the slow track (track 5), I Will Forget You ย ๊ทธ๋ด ๊ฒ๋๋คโฆ ์์ ๊ฒ๋๋คโฆ I like this song number one because I love the sound of the song. When I heard it for the first time I could not explain why but i felt some kind of heartache. And mind you I don’t understand Korean!! If you’ve seen some of my posts you will know that I am a sucker for heartache songs.. and when I searched for the translation of the song, it hit just the right spot! At that time I thought this was the song that I needed for the moment! We’ll until now maybe… And so before I pour out all of my life’s drama.. I am posting a live version of them singing on a radio show as well as the lyrics of the song ๐
I Will Forget You (Geureol Keomnida… Ijeul Keomnida) – Romanization
I will forget you. Starting today,
I don’t know you. I have never seen you.
We never even walked pass eachother.
I’m okay. I forgot everything. I’m happy with my busy life.
I’ve met a great person too.
Love is always like this. It fades away after some time.
Can’t even remember it, Oh.
# When love goes away, another love comes again. It definitely will.
Even if it hurts now, it will heal a little later.
It will forget. I will too.
It’s not difficult. I will forget everything after today.
I’m just getting used to my changed life. Oh~ No.
Love is always like this. It fades away after some time.
Can’t even remember it. Yes~
# REPEAT
I will erase everything.
I definitely will.
When love goes away, another love comes again. It definitely will.
Even if tears fall now, I will smile a little later.
I will (now) forget you (now). Just like a wound heals…
I will. I will. I will forget you.
