Is it just me, or did this month fly by extremely fast?

Not very many good singles this week; however, I did discover some cover and remix artists who are probably more talented than the artists they cover/remix. For those of you who don’t believe me, check them out below!

And as always, enjoi.

Gadgets are fun but what makes them even better are the idols that model along side with them.

Korea and Japan are probably the most well known gadget makers in addition to the cutest models. Not only are they drop dead gorgeous, but they make the cutest little faces for you.

As such, the following are a few of my favorite gadget idols. Who is your favorite?

To my surprise, World of Warcraft celebrated Chinese New Years yesterday. It turns out they’re more Asian friendly than I could’ve ever imagined.

Walking around the town where the festival was held, I noticed that the NPCs (non player character) were selling Korean food: steamed mandu, bean soup, rice cake and kimchi. I definitely had a couple since IRL I can’t eat any. How sad!

I wonder if there’s sushi or pho in other towns.

Like they did for Chuseok, Kpop celebs have dressed up in traditional hanboks to wish you a Happy New Year and they look oh so cute!

It’s tradition for the Kpop celebs to get dolled up for the holidays, and why wouldn’t they? It’s the only time we get to see them in traditional clothing. So I rounded up a few photos of them (old and new) in celebration of the New Year.

Which Kpop celeb do you think looks best in a hanbok? Personally I love Lee Junki but he’s had experience thanks to Iljimae!

It’s almost Lunar New Years! Shout out to all the oxes (sp?) out there.

It’s been an interesting week with now President Obama in office. Unfortunately I didn’t catch the Inauguration party but I did see his amazing speech. It was very moving and if you didn’t catch it, get your arse to CNN ASAP!

Here’s this week’s round up, enjoi!

Big Bang has recently parodied the famous Boys Over Flowers drama.

Being my favorite Jdrama, I got a kick out of the video as each Big Bang member played their parts beautifully. Who would have known that Big Bang would go as far as they did? Honestly I think the Korean Boys Over Flowers should recast Big Bang. They might get even better ratings with them.

T.O.P - Domyouji
Dae Sung - Makino
G Dragon – Rui
Tae Yang – Sojiroh
Seung Ri – Akira

You can support them by buying their Global Warming DVD which includes the parody.

Plot/Synopsis
In “North Korea Kidnapped My Daughter”, Sakie Yokota recollects the past thirty of her life without her daughter, Megumi who had abruptly disappeared while walking home from school on the streets of Niigata, Japan. Without any trace of her whereabouts, she and her family were left to fill an empty void.

Twenty five years later, Sakie and her family are told that Megumi had been kidnapped by North Korean spies. With the relief of an answer, Sakie is also filled with pain after realizing the situation in its entirety; she becomes fully aware of the difficult living circumstances in North Korea and that saving Megumi is beyond her reach. Regardless, she continues today in full effort and hope to bring her daughter, as well as other victims, back home to Japan.

Seems that the flu is going around, since everyone and their mom is getting sick! I’m still recovering and hooked on Nyquil but no worries, I was able to pump out this blog post.

It seems to have been an eventful week with new MV’s released, some old stars making their comebacks, in addition to some parody love. I’m glad the week’s over.

As always, enjoy!

Just like Santa, Super Mario is real! Or at least on Kinchan no Kasoh Taisho.

Kasou Tiashou is a show on NTV, which features various performances of skits that are rated by judges. They’re commonly known for the Matrix Ping Pong and Japanese Dinner Fight.

The Mario performance was featured last week and received a high score. And who can blame them? It’s definitely awesome, especially the random Obama appearance.
