3 Perfect J-pop Songs for Summer

My favorite style of Jpop is the happy, uplifting kind that is perfect for summer.

When I listen to it, I should have a smile on my face and feel like dancing!

Here are three of my favorite summer Jpop tracks from boy groups :3

Tohoshinki - Summer Dream

Throooooooowback! I miss the golden days of TVXQ and wish I could get some new Tohoshinki tracks to jam to. Summer Dream is a fun, funky dance track that is perfect for summer nights :3

NEWS - Summer Time

I can't believe I still remember all the words to these songs....This is one of my favorite NEWS songs and the video is super cute. Tegoshi is still bae and this video makes me want to hit the beach!

Infinite - She's Back

This is one of my favorite remakes by a Kpop group. I tend to not like Japanese versions of a song I first heard in Korean, but this was made really well and the video is so fun!
Tagging my Jpop lovelies!

One more thing, concerning you remembering the words to NEWS' songs, I also came to a realization the other day... That I remember all the dance moves to Kanjani8's songs. XD

I tend not to like Japanese versions of K-Pop songs either, but that actually wasn't too bad. I think the fact that the main part of the chorus is in English & thus doesn't change helps a lot... Personally, although they're a co-ed group, I really like AAA for summer music.

EXO To Debut in Japan: Who Has The Best Japanese Singles?
So I just heard that EXO is debuting in Japan... "According to music officials on August 25th, preparations for EXO’s debut Japanese album is underway, however, the release date has not been set though it is highly possible that they will release it at the end of the year." And it got me thinking about all the Kpop/Jpop crossovers that I LOVE. Below I listed my four favorite Japanese tracks by Korean artists that you MUUUUUST listen to. Big Bang - Koe wo Kikasete I love all of Big Bang's Japanese singles - mainly because I was in Japan when they first debuted and I had to convince my host family that Kpop was the next big thing. For some reason though, this is the song I love the most. It's a gorgeous video plus just a gorgeous track! Infinite - She's Back (Japanese Version) I'm usually not a huge fan of Japanese remakes (I prefer original Japanese songs) because the Japanese lyrics tend to not fit will with the beat that was written for the Korean words. For some reason though, I really, really like the Japanese version of She's Back. Hoya's rap is amaaaaazing. TVXQ - Why Did I Fall in Love With You? I will always be a TVXQ 5EVER Cassiopeia. I honestly can't bring myself to listen to the new TVXQ stuff because these five boys are the reason I got into Kpop in the first place. TVXQ were the first Koreans to really break into the Jpop scene. They had to start back at the bottom of the food chain and were treated like rookies and nobodies because, in Japan, they were! Now it's easy for Kpop groups to make Japanese debuts and that is all thanks to the suffering of TVXQ. I seriously love these boys to pieces and just listening to this song makes me want to cry for them. This song is heart breaking, beautiful, and shows just how talented the members of TVXQ really are. TVXQ - Stand By U I studied Japanese for two years and this was one of the first songs I listened to where I actually understood every word. This is another heartbreaking song that takes my breath away. I'm not really a ballad person when it comes to Kpop but something about Japanese ballads makes me so happy. I could also add B1A4's Japanese singles (but not their Japanese remakes cause the Japanese just sounds awkward LOL), SNSD, and CN Blue to the list!!! I want to get back into studying Japanese so send me tracks to listen to! List your favorites in the comments: Also just a shameless VIXX promotion but they just dropped a new PV...
Woollim Sells Artists Schedules To Fans Willing to Pay?!
A fansite for INFINITE member Sungjong, using the name @93springflowers on Twitter, has been blacklisted and has recently gone off on Woollim Entertainment. In addition to accusing the company of treating Sungjong poorly, she also says the company sells information on their schedules to fans, including herself. I guess if she’s going down then she’s taking the company with her. If that's true (and please keep in mind, we dont have any other info other than this fansite saying this happened) this is SO BAD for Woollim. How dare they treat their artists like that?! But honestly, I can easily believe it based on what other companies have done (and im sure other companies sell too!) What do you think of all this?
Meet My First Bias EVER: Tegoshi Yuya
Tegoshi Yuya was the person who dragged me into Jpop, which lead to Kpop, which lead to the mess of a person I am now. He will always be my favorite voice in Jpop ever, and is still such a great person. I would probably freak out more while meeting HIM than any of my biases... That's right, before Kpop, before Hakyeon, this was the special human in my life. Tegoshi is a member of the Johnny's Entertainment group NEWS and stole my heart from day one. I knew nothing about Jpop but seeing one glimpse of him drew me into this insane world. News - Hoshi Wo Mezashite He also was in a sub group called Tegomasu which was him and Masu :) Please enjoy his stunning voice and give them lots of love~ He's also a great actor but that deserves a whole 'nother card! Teogmasu - Kaerimichi No Love Song Tegoshi - Ai Nante TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES. How many Kpop fans are Jpop fans too?! Let me know if you'd like to be tagged in any Jpop cards :D

Sweet Talk: くちづけを残して。
Welcome to 'Sweet Talk' where I'll be highlighting some phrases in other languages that I think we can all connect with! Today we have Ikimono Gakari teaching us about lost love with "Light of the Fireflies." They're a great Japanese band and you should definitely check out more of their work! (she says the phrase at 0:42) くちづけを残して。 (kuchi-zuke wo noko-shite) Leave with a kiss. くちづけ (kuchi-zuke)- A kiss を (wo)- (object particle^^) 残して (nokoshite) - To leave Do you have any particular goodbye kiss that you remember?

This 💔
I feel upset because this is kinda true for some people, and tbh I liked anyone regardless of race .. So for someone who's Asian to feel this way it kinda hurts me 💔💔 He also wrote this and it's also very heartbreaking.. 😞😞 Le tags 😞😞 @jiyongixoxo @kpopdeluxegirl @tinathellama @isolate

My Favorite Kpop-Turned-Jpop Songs!
Tons of Korean artists are heading to Japan to gain more fans, and as a result a lot of great music has been born! Here are a few of my favorite Korean artists that sing in Japanese :D Tohoshinki - Why Did I Fall In Love With You? The OGs!!! They were the first group to go to Japan and really paved the way for the rest of Kpop to come over to the Jpop world! Big Bang - Koe Wo Kikasete This is honestly one of my favorite Big Bang songs ever, in Korean OR Japanese! It's a really nice slow pop song that shows off their vocals :3 SNSD - Mr. Taxi GUILTY PLEASURE SONG ALERT - I freaking LOVE this song and I have no idea why. And yes, I learned the dance lol! VIXX - Cant' Say My bias is showing...I love that Hakyeon is so good at Japanese and I love the styling of this video/song :3 What other Kpop artists that went to Japan do you love now?!

Changmin & Victoria's Spoon Scandal
I was just talking to @cindystran about various silly scandals in Kpop and she told me about this SUPER ridiculous one! Basically, Victoria from f(x) uploaded a picture to her Weibo of her meal that day... Normally people would just say "yum!" or "looks tasty!" but not netizens... They found a reflection in her SPOON. The internet blew up when netizens decided it was Changmin from TVXQ! Do you think this is silly or do you love netizen detective work? I'm both horrified and impressed by their attention to detail >.<
