» Weekly Music Round Up Oct 17 » Ningin

It’s finally the weekend although that doesn’t stop the workload. Development has been working on something big (hint hint wink wink) so please check back for updates.

Also, there’s a new blogger if you didn’t know. His name is Jerry Chen and he’s an anime, jpop, basketball and game expert. Finally another gamer to join us! I felt a bit nerdy being the only one so far.

I somewhat enjoyed this weeks more than others in the past because most of the songs were pretty good (3 out of 5). Always a good sign right? As always enjoy this batch. I really do like finding these music videos every week for you guys so I hope you do too.

2PM - 10 Out of 10 (Special Clip for Fans)

While I hate the song and their eyeliner wearing ways, I thought the video was cool. Their attempts to breakdance were a major let down but the transitions to each scene were very different and something I enjoyed. Other than that, 2PM needs to come out with better songs.

News – Happy Birthday

Never knew you could make a Happy Birthday song into 3 minutes but they did! It’s not the best song but it is interesting. They sound a lot like Arashi – So Sweet but then again a lot of people do. While News is a good band, this isn’t one of their best. What a shame.

Rain – Love Story

Even though it’s Rain, I really like the song and he does look cute in his suit and his acting skills of a typical Korean man were good. Not to generalize but also most Korean men can take a slap from a girl and not crouch down like a little girl. Any who while the song is good, the video is confusing. There’s supposed to be a part 2 but who knows if it’ll be any better. I can only pray Colbert does a parody.

Epik High – Rock You (Karokee)

Wow this is so horrible. I couldn’t even listen all the way through. I know their rappers and all but they sound like a bunch of drunks although I actually like their version better than the original. While it’s no Ayumi, the Kara version isn’t that great either and just pains me to listen to it even more than Epik High’s.

Foxxi MisQ – Last Christmas

This is my favorite Christmas song and since it’s almost here I figured it would be appropriate. Okay it’s not exactly here but Foxxi MisQ’s rendition is really cute. They had a simple hip hop beat to it and it really makes it modern and hip. They also look cute in their little white outfit although the video is pretty boring after watching them walk around for awhile.
