NEWS - Happy Birthday (Limited Edition cover)

NEWS - Happy Birthday (Regular Edition cover)

Recommended: Happy Birthday, ガンガンガンバッテ, Push On!

THOUGHTS: Happy Birthday is a catchy, cheerful song with a cool PV, half real (the boys) and half cartoon (er, everything else). Seemingly everyone except Koyama and Massu has weird pimped hair. Gan Gan Ganbatte is super happy as well, very J-pop. GAME of LOVE is less pop, with a stronger bass, still nice. Push On! is cute and light, like the first two tracks.

*All tracks @ 320 kbps.

**PV is in .avi format.

Tracklist:

01 Happy Birthday

02 ガンガンガンバッテ Gan Gan Ganbatte (Do your best)

03 GAME of LOVE [LE only]

03 Push On! [RE only]

04 Happy Birthday(オリジナル・カラオケ) Original Karaoke [LE only]

NOTE: I’m sorry this is so late! The MV will be up soon… ^^;

Recommended: I Don’t Care, Let’s Go Party, Pretty Boy

THOUGHTS: I Don’t Care is the best track on this, an R&B song with a catchy easy-to-clap-to beat. In The Club, Stay Together and Let’s Go Party are more mellow, easy-on-the-ears type songs with the same R&B/dance feel. Pretty Boy is kind of following in Fire’s footsteps, but less fierce… You can hear the members displaying their linguistic skills in Let’s Go Party, including CL’s French ^_^

*All tracks @ 320 kbps.

Tracklist:

01 Fire

02 I Don’t Care

03 In The Club

04 Let’s Go Party

05 Pretty Boy

06 Stay Together

J: 빅뱅 (BIGBANG) – ガラガラ GO!! (Gara Gara GO!!) [Full single & PV]

빅뱅 - ガラガラ GO!! cover (Jacket B, Normal Edition)

빅뱅 - ガラガラ GO!! cover (Jacket B, Normal Edition)

Recommended: Everything, but ガラガラ GO!! in particular (^_^)v

THOUGHTS: Gara Gara GO!! is a fun, upbeat dance song that caters well to the J-pop scene – catchy lyrics as well as BB’s trademark heavy bass and synth noises. The PV is also bright and fresh, with D-Lite and V.I. (Dae & Ri) getting a lot of airtime; and SoL (Taeyang) does a beautiful pre-chorus bit. Top of the World is similar to Gara Gara GO!!, but a tad slower and more mature (?). Stylish was used for their FILA campaign and So Beautiful was featured on their For the World album. Both are great techno-style songs.

*All tracks @ 320 kbps.

**PV is in .avi format.

01 ガラガラ GO!! Gara Gara GO!!

Recommended: 친구

THOUGHTS: Even though this song is only by T.O.P and Taeyang, it still has a sort of BIGBANG feel to it – but slower, more stripped down… It’s kinda melancholy, in a electronica kinda way… Anyway, I love it – especially since Tabi sings \(^_^)/

빅뱅 - MY HEAVEN cover

빅뱅 - MY HEAVEN cover (LE Jacket A)

NOTE: This is the full Japanese single from BIGBANG. The digital single (i.e. just track 1, “My Heaven”) was uploaded earlier along with the PV. The cover above is the Limited Edition Jacket A cover, which features Candle(Michitomo remix). Jackets B & C feature MY HEAVEN(club mix). The track numbers for the mixes are wrong and the cover for MY HEAVEN(club remix) is wrong too… Sorry for all the trouble D:

Recommended: MY HEAVEN, MY HEAVEN(club mix), Emotion

THOUGHTS: Emotion is a kind of nice medium-tempo techno song with quite a bit of Ri and Dae (or Victory and D-Lite as they’re known in Japan) – about time they got more attention. Candle(Michitomo remix) is cool too, typical with a heavy bassline and synth noises, house-type genre. MY HEAVEN(club remix) is, like the title suggests, nice and club-friendly. You all know MY HEAVEN already ^^

*All tracks @ 320 kbps.

Tracklist:

01 MY HEAVEN

02 Emotion

03 MY HEAVEN(club mix) [Normal Edition & Jacket B & C only]

Recommended: 댄싱슈즈, 눈물을 닦고, 2009, 댄싱슈즈 MV

THOUGHTS: Okay, AJ debuted like a while ago and I’m so late! But if you were waiting, it’s totally worth it. He isn’t dubbed “the second Rain” for nothing; that boy sure can dance. Dancing Shoes is his debut song: catchy, heavy bass, synth noises – my type of song <3. Nunmureul Dakkgo is a cute, feel-good song with these 2 rapper guys (WTF THEY DON’T COUNT AS BEING FEATURED OR SOMETHING?! Who are they?! They’re cuuute!) reminiscent of JUMPER’s second single. 2009 is good too, featuring Hyun-ah (formerly Wonder Girls, now 4minute) who I thought was U-Kiss’ Dongho at first LOL.

*All tracks @ 192 kbps.

Tracklist:

01 Intro

02 댄싱슈즈 Daensing Shoos (Dancing shoes)

03 2009 (Feat. 현아) Feat. Hyun-ah

04 눈물을 닦고 Nunmureul dakkgo (Wipe [away your] tears)

NEWS - TEPPEN (RE)

Recommended: TEPPEN, Fiesta, TEPPEN PV

THOUGHTS: TEPPEN is a good old J-pop song, and the PV is cute too (: NANDE×2 DAME is kinda weird, but still cheery, with strange rap bits infused with Latino-type rhythms and synth noises. Yume no Kazu Dake is a sweet ballad with a easy-to-sing-along-to chorus, but I like the acapella version on the album “touch” better. Fiesta is just pure win ‘cuz Ryo’s bits are super awesome babyyy. Come on, Massu sings “owaranai yoru” (endless night) XD.

*All tracks @ 192 kbps, except TEPPEN (320 kbps).

Justin Bieber - The Street Where We Began cover

Recommended: One Time

THOUGHTS: Justin Bieber is a 15 year old R&B singer (YES HE’S 15. He looks like 10, I know) recently discovered by Usher. He is SO cute (the photo doesn’t really show his looks off) and acts all gangster with his skateboard and hat (^_^) One Time is catchy, with cute yet impressive vocals. I don’t think this song shows off Justin’s full potential but still, good nonetheless.

*Track @ 160 kbps.

U-Kiss - Bring It Back 2 Old School cover

Recommended: 니가 좋아, talk to me

THOUGHTS: THIS is what made me fall in love with U-Kiss. Niga joah is an awesome, old-school kind of song; while talk to me is super catchy, PLUS Kevin’s bridge gave me goosebumps, his voice is so cute – highly recommended. The Niga joah MV kind of makes you cringe at Dongho, Alexander and Kevin’s hair but it’s so dorky you can’t help but love it.

*All tracks @ 192 kbps.

**MV is in .wmv format.

Tracklist:

01 Intro (On Fire)

02 니가 좋아 Niga joah (I like you)

03 talk to me
