Too Busy

Sorry we haven't been able to keep our usual posting schedule, but Nadeshiko-chan and Ms.LeeMinHo are currently applying for colleges. We have to take the SAT and ACT, fill out several applications and write personal statements and writing supplements. We'll try to post when we can, but in reality we probably won't write much until January. Maybe during December break we'll be back on track, but most likely we'll be back in January. Please wait until then and wish us good luck because we definitely need it.

You Don't Know Love by K.Will Review


Hey it’s Ms. Lee Min Ho, today I am going to review for you K.will’s new music video for his song You Don’t Know Love from his new mini album Fall in Fall. I am so happy that K.will came out with a mini album I just love his style he is so lay back and has this smoothness to him which makes it impossible not to love him.
                His song is about an argument that he had with a girl. In the lyrics you hear him say what he told the girl in their argument. Like saying that she should leave him alone, to stop whining like a child, and that she is very old fashioned.   He just seems annoyed with her by this point but when he says that she is old fashion she starts crying and he can’t believe himself for making her cry. He tries to get her forgiveness but she just has enough with him and breaks up with him. You hear his regret and how he didn’t expect this to happen. He wants another chance to get her to forgive him and he tells her that even though he might seem indifferent she is really the only one in his heart. I loved the freaking song I felt that I was really there seeing their argument. I really liked that it had a story line and it made sense. Such a
delightful sound I can’t even explain in words how much I really like it. The music video was also amazing even though once again K.will doesn’t come out in his music video but it’s because he is to cool for his music videos hahaha. The video really showed what the song was saying about the couple first you see them fighting but then they started looking into these boxes that had all their memories in them. Then the guy goes to the forest place where they were fighting and found their couple ring. He sees the girl; they make up and he gives her a blue rose. Ya it’s a typical love story but I still thought it was freaking endearing and I loved it. I really have nothing negative to say about the song and music video only that they got back together really fast I am pretty sure that they are going to break up fast again. Another thing I have to say is I would love to see a music video that is about K.will but its okay if it doesn’t happen.

                I give this song and music video a 9 out of 10 monohorns I love it but the only thing that I didn’t love about it is that they got back together really fast. There was a reason why you guys broke up trust me you guys aren’t going to last haha. But overall K.will once again did a marvelous job with the song and also his mini album. It very his style which is great and I hope to see many more years of K.will. He is a singer that I really respect and he has a lot of truly astonishing talent. Thanks for reading my post please check out my previous one which was Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt through Time Review.

Question: What is your favorite song out of his album?

New Chapter ~ Fukumenkei Noise

Konbanwa~
Today Fukumenkei Noise chapter 9 was scanlated and released! And its a long chapter! The art beautiful as always and Nino a weirdo as always. Anyway...
All Nino wants is to be reunited with her childhood friend and first love Momo, who disappeared 6 years ago. She's passed the audition he was holding, but finds out that he refuses to see her. Feeling inferior, she nearly decides to give up on him completely, especially considering that what Yuzu said could bee true: Its been 6 years, he's probably not the same Momo anymore. Meanwhile Yuzu declares that Nino will the "Alice" in his band In No Hurry to Shout. But he's also going to support Nino, he doesn't want her to give up. Even though this could be his chance to make her his, he never wants her to make such a sad expression again.
This chapter really settled everything and set it up for the drama that is definitely going to come. I really love Nino's and Yuzu's interactions, they're funny and they're sweet. Its been that way since they first met. And even though Nino is in love with Momo, she cares about Yuzu. And Yuzu's love for Nino is the best! I really hope they end up together. I still don't trust Momo, I really liked him as a kid in the first chapter, but when appeared again and avoid Nino, I become supicious: while Yuzu is someone who need Nino to create music, he is someone who needs Nino away from him in order to create music. I don't understand why, maybe when its explained I'll trust him, but for now I'm going to stay cautious. Alright, bye-bye

Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt through Time Review

Hey, it’s Ms. Lee Min Ho I am back with a review for you today. I will be reviewing a Japanese movie called Time Traveller: The Girl Who Leapt through Time. This movie is based on a Japanese anime film called The Girl Who Leapt through Time. The movie came out on March 13, 2010 and it is 122 minutes long. This film was
way better than I expected it to be and the ending was very sad.
                Akari Yoshiyama is a high school student and her mom is a scientist named Kazuko Yoshiyama. Her mom makes this potion that will let people travel through time. She plans to use this so she could go back to the past and meet her love and give him something (I don’t remember too well). But she ends up getting into an accident and goes to the hospital. Her daughter visits her mom and her mom thinks that she might die so she tells Akari to take the potion and the letter she has so she could go back to the past during the 70s. Her daughter agrees then the mother tells her a specific day she must go back to. As Akari takes the potion she says the wrong date and ends up going later on which is kind of now too late. But she still tries to find her mom to try to figure out where the guy is at so she could still give him the letter. As she gets to the past she meets Ryota Mizorok, who helps her out but they end up developing feelings for each other.
                Akari Yoshiyama played by Riisa Naka did an amazing job I didn’t think she would do such a overwhelming job because I saw her in a drama before and I found her character very annoying but this time she did such a astonishing job. Akiyoshi Nakao played Ryota Mizorok he also did a great job, I fell in love with him throughout the film and I really liked the relationship that Yoshiyama and he had. This movie was so different from what I thought it was going to be. I really had no idea it was going to have romance in it and I never thought it was going to end the way it did. Mizorok wants to be a director so throughout the movie you see him trying to film his first movie and when Akari comes in she ends up helping him. You see that they fall for each other throughout the movie which is super cute but very weird because there is an obvious big age difference in their characters. There is this part of the film were he tells her that in the future they should meet up again were there are all these cherry blossoms. He then told her but you know I am going to be like in my 40s by then and you are still going to be young she said she knew but she really didn’t care. I thought that part was so cute it got to me so much.
 I am just going to give a lot of Spoilers now because I feel that I can’t review this without giving out my favorite parts which are in the end. Okay so she ends up meeting the guy her mom fell in love with, first she meets her mom but because she is in the 1970s her mom is really young she is in high school. She shows her a picture that her mom from the futures gives her with a boy and asks her mom from the past if she knew who he was. The mom said no that she had never met him. Akari finds it weird because her mom from the future gave it to her and her mom from the past has no idea who he is. She didn’t understand why until she meets Kazuo Fukamachi in the schools she first landed on when she came from the future. He explains to her what was going on and who he was. He told her he is from the future and that when he was younger he came to the past and her mom and him had a relationship. But he had to erase her mom’s memory because he knew he had to go back to the future because he isn’t meant to be in the past so he had to leave his one true love. I started crying during this part it was so sad I just couldn’t even handle it. Then Akari released that now she herself had to go back to the future and leave the person she fell in love with.  Fukamachi gives her a potion and tells her she could say her goodbyes. She spends her time with Mizorok and helps him make the ending for the movie which is by the cherry blossom trees.  When she was about to leave Mizorok takes a bus to go somewhere then she realizes that the bus he is going in crashes and everyone in it dies. She goes runs after Mizorok to try to prevent him from entering then…. I am not going to say more because I don’t want to spoil it even more but huhhh I don’t even know what to say. This movie was just so good; it takes out all your emotions and leaves you emotionally tired towards the end.
                I give the film 9 out of 10 monohorns because it was so great I really have nothing bad to say about it maybe that it just made me get tired towards the end but it’s such a great movie. I never thought it was going to have romance. I just thought she was going back to the past to help her mom out I never expected her to meet someone and fall for him. I really recommend this to anyone who wants something cute that makes you laugh and cry. It’s worth watching it and I have to watch the anime now, it must be great as well maybe even better. Thank you for reading my review please check out my previous post Top 5 Kpop songs of September 2013 thanks.

New Chapter: Ao Haru Ride ~ HIbi Chouchou

Kou v. Kikuchi. If he doesn't step it up, Kou might
actually lose Futaba!
Konnichiwa~
Chapter 33 of Ao Haru Ride was released. And its so frustrating watching Kou continue hesitating. Something has always gotten in the way of them being together, Narumi who desperately wanted Kou by her side was the last one. But that's been taken care of,  Kou telling her he couldn't because he was in loved with Futaba, so why is hesitating? If he doesn't hurry, Futaba might fall for Kikuchi. Unlike Kou, he's direct about his feelings. Kou needs to learn from him, or he'll continue letting happiness escape him
http://www.mangachapter.net/5058/ao-haru-ride.html

Though there's never a guarantee that a relationship
will work, both plan on being together in the winter,
both plan on staying by each others side. 
The other chapter that was released was Hibi Chouchou Chapter 35. Though neither Sumire or Kawasumi understand what it means to be dating, they understand that they want to be by each others side. Their first date might be clumsy, but they hope to get better at it as time continues. I really love this couple, they're both just so adorably shy. You can tell they really care about each other, I especially love seeing Kawasumi trying to make sure everything is right for his Sumire. Its so freaking cute!

New Chapter: Kagerou Days Chapter 16

Konbanwa~
Today Kagerou Day: Headphone Actor III was released!
Takane Enomoto is in love with Haruka Kokonose, but stubbornly hides her feelings. And after failing to help Haruka when he needed her the most, she wonders if she really deserves to by his side and have such feelings. But Ayano, her first and only female friend, sternly tells her that she shouldn't be a coward. If you have something to say, you should say it before its too late. Later doesn't always come after all. I loved this chapter. Takane had so many beautiful scenes. I really loved seeing her interact with Ayano, I wish we could have seen more of their friendship. What Ayano said about Shintarou was rather sad; though she likes being by his side, she feels she isn't what he needs. Shintarou needs someone more selfish than him, someone more enegertic. This definitely influenced Takane when she became Ene. Poor Ayano though, she looked like she really wished she could be what Shintarou needed. Poor Takene too, and you'll all see why after reading this. Beautifl. but tragic. And I definitely think she and Haruka were subjected to experimentation, its heavily implied in this chapter. Man I can't wait for the next chapter!!!! Alright, bye bye

Top 5 Kpop songs of September 2013

             

                    Hey its Ms. Lee Min Ho, so today i will be telling you what are my top favorite Kpop songs of September. I didn't really love his month for kpop but it was somewhat good i found 2 artist that i started liking and ft island came out with an album so that made me happy.


5) In fifth place is Ft. Island Memory from their new album Thanks To. The song is about how a guy is trying to erase his memories of the girl he loved. It becomes hard because he still really loves her. The song itself its just great and when Hong Ki sings it he gives all his strength and emotions to the song which makes the song sound great. So its hard not to have this song on the top 5 of this month, I also really enjoyed their music video because you saw them being themselves. The video fallowed their daily life and it was very calming to watch. I also just found out that they are making a comeback next month and i am really looking forward for that.



4) In forth is this group who i just found out about and i fell in love with them. Its is On My Mind by Royal Pirates. They just debuted in the Korean world last month and i am so happy i found  out about them they are truly amazing and different. The song is about how they are trying to get over a girl they loved but its hard because she keeps on appearing into their minds. They try so hard to forget but it becomes impossible. The song is so different compared to their others songs which are really rock and this one is more of a pop rock song but its so good. I love the song and i cant get over it. This group is truly great and i cant wait to hear a full album form them.


3) This next song is from a boy group that i totally love which is Infinite and their song is Request. The song is about how they have unrequired love for this girl. But the girl can’t love them back because she already has another man. They talk about in the whole song how much they love the girl and how they wish they had more guts as a man to get her love. They are also thinking about how different things were to be if they were to confess their love for her earlier. I got the summary for the song from by review. The song is so amazing it has the 80s feel that infinite always gives to their song and the heartbreaking romance they have for a lot of their songs. The music video was so adorable even if it was to promote the galaxy phone but i didn't mind that to much. I love the end of the MV because Hoya's love was there watching them dance and when Hoya realized it he smiled at her. It was just so cute.



2) In second place is a song from a girl who i love right now. She has a amazing voice and is very talented. It is Lim Kim's Rain. It was so hard trying to decide what song to put of hers on this list because i love all her songs. This list would have been only about her but i decided to just pick only one of her songs. In the song she is talking to the rain first telling it that because she is so young that she hasn't created to many memories. Then she starts talking about how she is listening to a song with someone singing in a sad way and how she wonders why that person is sad. Then she goes on talking about how she wants to cry and its okay because its raining. The song its very calming and i love Lim Kim's voice so much its very unique from other singers.  She is incredibly talented and i wish she got more attention.

1) First place goes to Royal Pirates Shout Out. In the song a he is trying to tell a girl to free her self and he is going to help her. That's basically it but the lyrics sound or are read better then my summary. This song got me into the group its a song that i cant get out of my head and i don't mind having it stuck. In the music video they seem to be in the galaxy or just in a black space singing and running. The song is great and they are wonderful and very talented. They also make covers from other groups like wondergirls, girls generation, and super junior and they are astonishing . But their songs are way better then those covers. I cant wait to hear more about them they are so lovely.

     That is all for today i hope you enjoyed my top 5 kpop songs of September. It was so hard trying to decided what to put on my list but i was able to decided on it and i am satisfied. Please check out my previous post which was about Sunny Korean Movie Review  and check out my last top 5 list My Top Kpop and Jpop songs of August 2013 . Thanks for reading this and i hope you have a great day.

Becoming a Girl Day

Miyoshi with girl Mamiya
Konbanwa~
Again, I have to apologize for not posting last week, as an apology I've brought you all one of the oddest romances, well in general oddest manga I've ever read. Ever. This supernatural shoujo manga is called Kanojo ni Naru Hi by Ogura Akane. It is only one volume and has been completely scanlated. Lets begin:
In this alternate universe, there is something called "emergence". In ecosystem you need a balance between boys and girls, if there are too many boys, some of the males will become females in order to balance things out. In our reality, this only applies to a certain species of fish. In this universe, it can happen to human boys. If it does occur, it usually happens when they are young. Its rare for an emergence to occur once a boy reaches puberty, its even rarer that those survive the transformation.
Now, the main character of this story is high school boy Miyoshi and his childhood friend Mamiya. Since elementary school, Miyoshi has always been challenging and competing against him, and he's has always been losing since Mamiya is more or less perfect at everything. One day, Mamiya suddenly collapses and is hospitalized for several weeks. Miyoshi is worried, but is unable to visit him while he's in the hospital. As soon as Mamiya's discharged, he rushes over to his home to see how his best friend is doing. He's utterly shocked when a female Mamiya's opens the door and greets him. Mamiya emerged and managed to survive! And like usually she's calm and composed. She tells Miyoshi, who suffers from gynophobia (a fear of girls), that this is the perfect opportunity to treat him! The treatment is actually a success, though very awkward in my opinion. But, even though he's fear of girls is gone, he can't seem to handle Mamiya; he's heart races and he quickly becomes flustered whenever she's around. And as his gynophobia disappears, Miyoshi becomes popular among girls, irking Mamiya, though she's not sure or willing to admit why.
Now I feel like I've read a soft yaoi or something because I kept thinking of Mamiya as a boy. I know she's a girl,
Miyoshi with Mamiya when she was
a boy
and I actually thought she was a lot cooler as a girl than a boy (boy Mamiya looked really annoying), but at the end I kept thinking how she could still live as a boy. Sure now she has to wear a bra and worry about her period, but she could dress like a tomboy and date girls. She didn't have to make an effort to be girly, everyone would have understood if she wanted to continue living as much as a boy as she could. I don't really understand why she pushed herself to live like a girl, especially after the first chapter when she admits that she doesn't want to become one.
Also, I think I would've liked this better as bromance than a romance. In the first chapter, Miyoshi tells her how precious of a friend she is, even if she is a girl he comforts her that their friendship will always be the same. I think this could have been an adorable bromance: Miyoshi and Mamiya maintaining their friendship and not treating each other any differently.
I'm also curious to see if their relationship would've become romantic if Mamiya never emerged. Towards
the end Mamiya has a chance to become a boy again, but hesitates because she worries that Miyoshi's feelings will change if she returns to being a boy. I have to admit I thought it was pretty cute and touching for Miyoshi to declare that his feelings won't change and that he'll always love Mamiya. But then I ruined it for myself thinking of how he's feelings began in the first place: seeing Mamiya as a girl. If that had never happened, would he have never loved boy Mamiya romantically? So is there love based on Mamiya being a girl? Or would is to so real and so powerful
Miyoshi comforting Mamiya
as she admits that she doesn't want to be
a girl. Even this I thought of bromance,
even though I know boys don't hug each
other like that.
that they would've fallen in love either way? I highly doubt they would've fallen in love if Mamiya hadn't become a girl, so it made their love a little less romantic. You don't get to see much of their pre-emergence friendship, but there didn't seem to be any romantic tension whatsoever. And Miyoshi even commented about Mamiya having dated several girls before becoming a girl and he didn't become jealous or anything then.
I don't really recommend the manga, its amusing at times but in general it doesn't really make much sense. Not because its supernatural, just the character's logic in general. The art's alright, rather stiff and squarish. Its not a great manga, its not terrible either though. Its just okay. But not really an okay that makes you want to read or reread it, just an okay that makes you want to tell a friend about an odd little manga you read when you were bored. That's all for today. Bye-Bye

The Shape of Voice

Konbanwa~
On this fine Sunday evening I’ll be reviewing a shounen oneshot called Koe no Kitachi by Ooima Yoshitoki. Soon after being published it won the 80th Weekly Shounen Magazine Newbie Best Mangaka Award and has been on my reading list for quite some time. Today I finally read it and I can see why it won. Its an impressive slice of life, dramatic but still down to earth, and the art is rough but realistic, I think it really brings out the ugliness of many of the characters. Lets begin with the summary:
Shouya Ishida is the primary protagonist in this story and Shouko Nishimiya has just transferred into his class. When asked to introduce herself, she pulls out a notebook and begins writing. She explains that she’s deaf and that they can use this notebook to communicate with her. Though most of the class tries to get a long with her, Shouya straight out hates her, finding her creepy and annoyed by how she “slows everyone down”. Soon the rest of the class starts to feel the same and he leads them as they terrorize her day after day, the teacher turning a blind eye because he’s of his choleric attitude towards her. The optimistic Shouko who had been eager to make friends now constantly apologizes for her disability, and eventually Shouya learns this.
For some reason I found this scene really
beautiful
The story is very serious and it’s heartbreaking watch a group of brats torment this young girl, a young girl who just wanted to make friends and have fun like everyone else. They’re bullying is quite vicious and you know its not that exaggerated. Students and teachers bullies are cruel and much too common in the United States (mainly in the middle states, its not too common in the coastal states). Its also pitiful, but also karma, when Shouya realizes how bad and worthless his "friends" were.But its also heartwarming watching Shouya mature, watching him repent for his cruelty. 
Apparently this oneshot is going to be serialized, chapter one of it has already been scanlated. I hope that it'll give more on Shouko's perspective, I really liked her. Despite being bullied, she always tried to be kind, she always treated others the way she wanted to be treated. I’ll review it after the first volume comes out. That’s all for now, bye-bye

Sunny Korean Movie Review

Hey it’s Miss Lee Min Ho; today I will be talking about an amazing movie I saw recently. The flm is a Korean movie called Sunny.  It came out on May 4, 2011 and it is 124 minutes long. This film was truly amazing I cried so much at the ending. I feel that many young adults or teens that have really close friends are able to connect with this. Even adults who haven’t seen their friends for a very long time and they become reunited with them again would be able to connect with this movie.
                Na-Mi goes to the hospital to visit her mother in law or mother. As she is leaving the hospital to go home and care for her daughter she realized that one of her high school friends is in the hospital. She decides to visit her and she figures out that she has cancer. Her friend asks her for one favor to bring back Sunny. Sunny is their group of friends that they had during high school. Throughout the movie you see her thinking about the past and we get to see how her life was during the 80’s we also get to see how she meets her friends and all the crazy things they did together. You  go back to the present with Na-Mi trying to find the group of friends and them acting like teenagers for the last time together.


                Where do I start with this review the movie was just so great and I was really able to connect with it, I cried so much during the end but I also laughed a lot throughout the whole thing.  Lim Na-Mi was played by Shim Eun-Kyung the teen version and Yoo Ho-Jeong the adult version. Both were so freaking great I can’t even express how much I loved them. I laughed so much in the beginning the group was going to get in a fight with another group called “Girl Generation” as they were cursing at each other Na-Mi starts shaking in the back and then starts going crazy cursing at them and the other group got freaked out so they ran away. At that moment the group Sunny was able to accept her, I just couldn’t stop laughing I thought she was just so adorable and didn’t expect her to do that. I also really liked the part were Lim the adult version was folding clothes at home and decided to wear her daughter’s uniform to feel young again. As she is wearing the uniform, her daughter comes back from school she tries to hide but her daughter ends up catching her. They just stare at each other and the daughter walks away saying that next time she should buy her own uniform. I was cracking up and I thought how embracing that must be if I caught my mom wearing my clothes I would just laugh and feel awkward.  Kang So-Ra is played by Ha Chun-Hwa teen and Jin Hee Kyung adult. I loved the people who were picked for these characters. I felt that they looked the same adult and young. I really liked the character she was like a tough tomboy and totally had a leader feel to her. She is the one who got cancer in her adult years. She was totally my favorite character because you see how much she cares about her friend and will do anything for them.  Hwang Jin-Hee was played by Hong Jin-Hee adult and Park Jin-Joo teen. All I have to say about this character is that even though she cursed so much she was adorable.  Min Hyo-Rin was played by Su-Ji teen and Yoon Jung adult. I hated this character but liked her. I hated her because of her attitude and she treated everyone like crap. I liked her because at the end of the day she would defend her friends no matter what, I felt that Su-Ji and Na-Mi ended up getting somewhat close by the end of their teen time together. There are more people in the group but these people are the ones who really got my attention and ended up becoming my favorite ones.  Throughout the drama you just see how close they become as friends and see that with each other they are really feel comfortable and could do anything. One of my favorite parts was Lim Na-Mi’s first love which was  Joon-Ho played by Kim Shi-Ho who totally looks like a younger brother of Kim Hyung Joong. I just really like seeing her first love experience and her following him around. But then it also really saddened me because she got heartbroken by him she saw her kissing one of her friends but she knew it wasn’t her fault. As this happened you could actually feel what the character is feeling as if you are the one being heartbroken; I couldn’t stop crying in this part. In the future you see the adult Na-Mi going to see the adult Joon-Ho all she does is give him a drawing she drew of him and walking away I don’t know why but that part just got to me so much and I cried so much more. You see the adult version feeling the heart break of her first love again and trying to overcome it. I really liked the part when 4 of the people in the group when they are adults go to these bullies who were bugging Na-Mi’s daughter and start betting them.  They didn’t care how old they were they enjoyed it because it brought them the feeling of being young together and knew this would be the last time they could ever do this again. The film was just so astonishing there were so many incredible parts to it which I can’t go over.
                I give this movie infinity monohorns out of 10. I highly recommend this drama especially to watch it with a group of friend that you truly care about. You will feel everything that these characters feel. You will laugh, cry, and get mad. I can’t explain in words how truly incredible this movie really is. Please just watch it!!! Thanks for reading my post please check out my previous one which was Infinite Request MV Review   .

                


   

 Question: What is something that made you laugh and cry in this movie or any other movie? Leave a comment answering this questions and opinions on this film.

Infinite Request MV Review

                Hey it’s Miss. Lee Min Ho so Infinite just came out with a Music Video but is a promotional MV for the Samsung Galaxy phone. The song is called Request and it came out just like an hour ago but it depends when you read this. I really enjoyed the song and MV even though it was made to promote a phone.
                The song is about how they have unrequired love for this girl. But the girl can’t love them back because she already has another man. They talk about in the whole song how much they love the girl and how they wish they had more guts as a man to get her love. They are also thinking about how different things were to be if they were to confess their love for her earlier. I really enjoyed what the song said even though it’s kind of said. It kind of reminded me of the Japanese drama Proposal Love because in the drama he was in love with the girl but she was getting married with another man and he just regretted everything he didn’t do to get her to be with him. The MV mostly shows them promoting the Samsung Galaxy stuff it was annoying but it’s okay because at least we got another infinite MV. I really liked the MV though it started off with Hoya looking at a picture of this girl on his phone then he starts to dance. Then you see the rest of the members making the song and they just all look adorable especially Sunggyu. Then in the middle of the MV they randomly start riding bikes and they are wearing suits. I thought that part was funny and adorable. Then at the end of the MV they are performing with nobody around when they finish you see Hoya looking up and he sees this girl which was the same girl from the photo. I thought it was just a perfect and cute touch to the MV; I fangirled so bad at that part. I really loved their style in the video it was first very casual then they went to elegant which I really adored because they all looked very handsome. The song was great it had a very 80s vibe to it which is Infinite’s style. I wasn’t disappointed over this song and
 video at all even though it was promoting a phone it came out great and truly adorable.
                I give the MV a 9 out of 10 Monohorns only because there was too much promotion going on compared for CNBlue’s Feel Good promotional video. But overall, the song was great it has that sad romance that Infinite always does. The Music Video was adorable and I loved the touch of Hoyas love interest I got guess bumps at the end. That is all I have for today please check out my pervious review which was   .

New Chapters ~ Kagerou Days ~ Hibi Chouchou

I really love that the author
has continued this habit
of Sumire watching Kawasumi
walk away

Konbanwa~
Chapter 34 of Hibi Chouchou has been scanlated! Shy and quiet Sumire and Kawasumi like each other and they know that the love is mutual. The only problem is that neither of them understand what dating means. But they think they might be able to figure it out together.

Haruka and Takane

Then Kagerou Days Chapter 15 came out! With two colored pages! I
was so happy to see them! Anyway, Takane and Haruka are the only students in a class for handicapped students, but Takane has always known that Haruka's condition is more dangerous than hers...I love Kagerou Days! I hope to go over the remaining songs soon!

At Nishiki-kun's Mercy ~ Snake on the Love

Chi and Nishik i~ Hamster and Snake
Konnichiwa~
Sorry I didn’t post last week, I was pretty stressed and sort of just forgot about my post deadlines. But I’m posting now and reviewing a cute and a tolerably  cliché 2013 shoujo manga called Nishiki-kun no Nasugamama by Shiraishi Yuki. It only one volume, the series complete in Japan and I think it just needs one more chapter for it to be completely scanlated. Let’s begin:
Chika “Chii” Konomi is a very timid and small girl, she’s like a hamster. Since primary school, she hasn’t had any friends. Why? Because she’s always be monopolized by Ikumi Nishiki, a childish and spoiled rich boy. When he’s around, she feels like she has to take care of him and often feels trapped, like he’s the snake coiling around her, the hamster. She decided to attend different high school from him, hoping to finally escape and have a normal high school life, but on the first day he arrives, buys the seat next to her with a suitcase of money, and has her feed him eggrolls during lunch. Chii wants to escape from his grasp, but once he distances himself, she feels oddly lonely. And soon she can’t help but notice that her heart races when she’s with him.
The romance is very cute, I really love it when the male lead is a possessive lover, a rather innocent possessive lover in this case, which is I found interesting since most possessive lovers’ are usually experienced when it comes to dating. He’s handsome, loving, his actions are charming, and I feel like some of his lines will make any girl swoon. But adorable as this manga is, it still has the fault that most one volume mangas have: lack of development.
Nishiki loves Chii and always wants
to be by her side,  he wants to be
the closet one to her, and to
monopolize her attention, which is
pretty cute
Chii does start making friends, but her life is heavily centered around Nishiki and their love. I love romances, but I don’t like seeing only one aspect of someone’s life. We never see Chii or Nishiki make friendships or other human connections. I personally find that little bland. Chii is also pretty generic as a female lead. As much as I like her and find her cute, she’s still a typical timid and shy shoujo girl who can’t do too much on her own. I felt we saw Nishiki grow a little as he learned about love and taking care of Chii instead of having her take care of him, but we don’t really see Chii grow at all. We just see her realize that she likes Nishiki.

But despite that, I really enjoyed reading this manga and I can’t wait for the finally chapter. Its not the best character development around, but couple is charming and their interactions are adorable. That's all for now, sorry again for missing my post and for posting so late today. Goodnight

Busker Busker Love, At First from Busker Busker's 2nd Album Review

                Hey it’s Miss Lee Min Ho, so today's review is going to be another music video from one of my favorite indie groups. The group is Busker Busker who just realized their 2nd album which is called Busker Busker 2nd album. The music video that came out is called Love, At First. The song was very Busker Busker style but the music video was so different from the Cherry Blossom ending MV.
                I couldn’t find the English lyrics for the song so I really have no idea what they were singing about I am just going to base it of what I saw from the MV. What I understood is that a couple broke up and we get to see their whole day and how they are trying to overcome the break up. But at the end you see them crying because they really miss each other but they know that their relationship isn’t going to work out. So they never end up getting back together. I didn’t really like the MV nothing much happened it was just showing a sad couple and I really don’t want to see a sad couple doing stuff the whole day. I really like the song though it was beautifully done. The song came out exactly what I thought it was going to be but way better. I wish they were able to come out on their own MV though I didn’t want to see people crying over each other especially people I didn’t care about. This MV was just so different from the Cherry Blossom Ending MV. This one was more gray and sad while Cherry Blossom Ending was more colorful happy and cute. The songs are also so different from each other but still a very Busker Busker style but I really enjoy both of the songs. The only part I really liked on the MV was when the guy started crying as he was playing video game I found that really sad and a little funny. I wish there was more flashbacks in the MV showing how good their relationship was at one point so I could understand them more and feel sorry for them. There was only one flashback scene which was also one of my favorite parts. I am listening to their album and it’s so great it’s their style and it came out as I thought. I am not disappointed in any of their songs and I am happy to hear Busker Busker again. They did a truly amazing job with the album.
                I give the MV a 8 out of 10 Monohorns because I just didn’t like the MV much. It was just following a sad couple around and it didn’t have many flashbacks which would have added so much to the MV and would have made it better. Maybe the lyrics would have made me understand and like the MV more but I couldn’t find the English subs for it so I kind of had to guess what it was talking about. But the song is what really mattered it came out great and Jang Beom Jun is an incredible singer and his voice is so unique. The whole album is great so please check it out and I am totally satisfied with it. I hope I hear more of Busker Busker after this album. That is all for today please check out my pervious review which i sFT Island Memory Review from Thank You Mini album.

FT Island Memory Review from Thank You Mini album

Hey it’s Miss Lee Min Ho, today I will be reviewing a MV that came out today a few hours ago. I was so excited when I heard this group coming back again I have been waiting for them over a year now well a year and a few days but they are back. The song is Memory by Ft Island and it is part of their Thank To Mini album which celebrates their 6 year anniversary in the kpop world. The song was as I expected it to be and I was not disappointed at all.
                The song is about how a guy is trying to erase all the memories of a girl he truly fell in love with. He just wants to erase everything about her but it turns out to be really hard for him because he still really loves her. There is a part of the song that I really liked Hong Ki said something like I hurt you so now for what I have done to you I am getting what I deserve. I just really like that lyric it really go to me. The song was truly beautiful  the only way I could describe is that it’s very FT island and Hong Ki’s voice was just amazing as always he sings with so much passion and you could feel what he sings, you could feel his pain, and joy. The MV was amazing it was something really simple and I thought it was a good video for their anniversary. They were just being filmed getting ready for their day and performing; I personally really liked the simplicity of the video. My two favorite parts were when Hong Ki was shaving it was such a random thing to film and I found it really funny. I also liked when Hong Ki kissed the cat two of my favorite things were there which was a cat and Hong Ki hahaha. The whole album Thanks To is just great I am listening to it now every song is so different from each other but so remarkable.  My favorite song at this moment from the album is Always with You because the way Hong Ki sings it; it just sound so sweet and delicate. I am so happy that they came out with an album even if it’s with a mini album. This  group was my first favorite group in the Kpop world so of course they have a special spot in my Kpop loving heart hahah.  One thing that I didn’t like was Hong Ki’s hair I liked it more during the I Wish and I Hope MV. This one I just really don’t like I don’t know it bugged me hahah.
                I give the MV a 10 out of 10 monohorns. I give it a 10 because the song was very FT Island and it was exactly what I expected it to be. You could also feel the emotions on Hong Ki’s voice which always makes their songs so great and unique. I loved that their MV was just so simple and we got to see them live their life. I am pleased that they came out with album for their anniversary and I am so joyful for FT Island. I know how hard it has been for them over these 6 years because their music is so different from what Kpop is traditionally so they didn’t get many fans right away but they didn’t give up. They kept on working hard and became stronger now I feel that they are one of the best and well known groups in the Kpop world and still very different. I hope to see many more years of them because their music is just amazing. FIGHT FT ISLAND!!!!!!!!!! That’s all for today’s please check out my pervious review which was about  Operation Proposal Korean Version   .

                Question: What is your favorite FT Island song and why? Please leave a comment answering the question and a comment on your opinions on their new album.
