BoA is no stranger to cover songs. The pop princess has remixed original hits that have outshined the original artist. However with a twist of fate, American artists have covered her as well (aside from Youtubers that is).

Most recently, BoA was covered by the famous American rock band, Weezer. They were recommended the romantic Christmas single Meri Kuri by Kyoko Ito, frontman Rivers Cuomo’s wife. Cuomo admitted that he usually disliked recommended songs but was instantly taken with BoA’s “Meri Kuri”. And who wouldn’t be? The song is amazing.

Which one do you like better? You can check out BoA’s and Weezer’s version of Meri Kuri below.

The Hana Yori Dango craze is spreading like wildfire with China the next to join in.

It is reported that Chinese network Hunan TV will be doing a remake based on the storyline of Meteor Garden (Taiwan). The producers are hoping to bring on the Taiwanese band F4 in addition to pop stars Hankyung of Super Junior and Yu Haoming in addition to Ariel Lin to play the role of Makino.

While it is all talks, part of me is hoping they’ll do it whereas the other half is like that’s a lot of HYD. The Japanese movie just came only over the summer and Korea has already gone into production with their version. A lot of fans feel the same way but even if they do pull through, it’s not like everyone won’t watch it.

The long awaited Korean version of drama hit series Hana Yori Dango will air on KBS 2TV in the last week of December. Finally! Honestly, I can’t believe I had to wait so damn long for Korea to catch up. Aren’t they the melodrama gods?

So far there’s been a lot of hype for the show as it is one of the most popular series in all of Asian due to predecessors Meteor Garden (Taiwan) and Hana Yori Dango (Japan; creator of the series). With so much pressure, they’ve gathered some big names to help record the mini series like renowned director Jeon Gi-Sang (Sassy Girl Chuhyang, My Girl) and writer Yoon Ji-Ryeon (Sharp #3). However, they’ve got Group 8 to produce the film even though they failed with Goong S.

Kangin!! ^^

Music entertainment Giant, SM Entertainment has finally got their musical “Xanadu”, starring two Super Junior members underway!

If any of you are old enough, you might remember Xanadu from the 80’s, the original musical starring Olivia Newton John.

Xanadu is a story about Kira, the muse of music who comes to the human world and falls in love with sexy artist-wannabe Sonny (WELL, if Sonny is a Suju, whooo wouldn’t? :D), and muses him up all skanky like (well, not really, but I gots to keeps this dramatik), while giving him inspiration. Kira creates a roller-skating rink where music, dance and sports can all be enjoyed.
