It's been a while... [KPOP]

It's been far too long since my last update. I'd like to pretend that for once, yes I was being lazy but nope! I've been so busy with school work and trying to get on top of things here in Nebraska. I've been very social and not really taking time to be extremely active online. If you have me added on facebook you'll get snippets and updates on what has been going on there. If not, I'll try and take the time to update something here but for now I want to talk about music. In particular ...2? No... 4? CDs I have. Truthfully, three are the same CD (thanks for that SM Ent) of SHINee's Japanese release of LUCIFER (all three editions). I've already done a slapdash box opening for youtube but I wanted to take some nice pictures and update my blog for you lovely people. Also, GoEun's mother was kind enough to purchase and send to her Kara's 2nd album STEP (Special edition no less!), so I've taken a few pictures of it as well. I wanted to test out my macro zoom lens some, since I have it, and so there are a few pictures taken with it.

Replay, Replay, Replay! [KPOP/JPOP]

I put this under KPOP/JPOP since its a Kpop group making their Japanese debut and trying their hand at Jpop - which is completely different from the slick and polished look of Kpop. A lot of groups aren't even successful at this unless they are super good at Japanese, their song is completely original or if a remake, it's fucking fantastic. I think SHINee works with remaking Replay simply because SM have put a lot of effort into the video/promotion and their Japanese is pretty good (from what I know haha).

So naturally being a shawol, I bought both editions of their Japanese REPLAY -kimi wa boku ni dake no everything- album. This included a limited edition and then a deluxe limited edition. One came with a postcard, the other with a photocard and the deluxe edition had a hard cover plus some extra photos.

This one is for you [JPOP]

I'm a massive Junno fan -points to animated gifs of Prince Junnosuke in the side bar- so I take it very seriously trying to get Junno merchandise and had a little splurge to myself today. More info and pictures are under the cut! I'm going to start using cuts (the read more link) more often as I don't want huge bulks of text filling up the screen. Also it will let people pick what they want to read without having to scroll a lot.
