It's been a ridiculously long time
And Rain’s Rainism album hasn’t gotten any better since then, but there are so many fun things going on right now!
I am back to review some albums, so here we go!

“So what does chicken have to do with it?
Well, for every Hot Sun Chicken that is ordered, you can enter for a date with Kim Hyun-joong. Seventy lucky girls, who eat the most chicken, will get their chance for a “special” polygamous date with the...
DBSK: Bolero
Tracks 1. Bolero 2. Kiss The Baby Sky 3. 忘れないで (Don’t Forget) 4. Bolero (Less Vocal) 5. Kiss The Baby Sky (Less Vocal) 6. 忘れないで (Don’t Forget) (Less Vocal)
Review
1. Bolero: I’m so torn over what to say of this ballad. On the one hand, it’s forgettable and boring. I checked the lyrics to see if they would make the song more meaningful and nope - just a lot of moons and...

2 AM: Time for Confession
2 AM Brings Sexy Back
Is it just me, or are hot guys in sunglasses the theme of every album cover these days? Not that there’s anything to complain about :P But in terms of looks, we may be going for interchangeable parts here.
This is my first time actually paying attention to 2 AM, and dude - were they always this hot?! Mind you, this group performs ballads, while their counterpart...
UR Man: Actor/Singer/CEO/Runaway/EscapeArtist
This entire post is from Rina’s Entertainment Notebook, which I just stumbled across, but check it out! Didn’t have a permalink, so I shall immortalize it here as best I can:
SS501’s Kim Hyun Joong made a shocking confession on the January 26th SBS Yashinmanman Show. He confesses that he almost died, not once, not twice but a SHOCKING three times over a period of six months...

Reasons to Love Yesungie
So I was over at Hwaiting.wordpress.com, looking for pictures of Super Junior’s Yesung (stalk much? yes. yes, i do), when I heard how neglected he is. Not much attention, few fans relative to other members, etc. I’m sure this is old news, probably dating back to the early days of their debut, but Yesung deserves attention no matter what!
Thus, I will post here what I commented...

FT Island - Jump Up [Mini Album]
Five Treasure Island is back with a new mini album! I’m excited ^^ It’s not just Hong Gi singing 99.9% of the songs anymore.
However, OH WON BIN left! (waaaaaaaaaaaaah) He was my favorite, especially his part in their song “Love Sick.” He was so totally awesome there *dies* I’ll write a special Won Bin post later, and in the meantime, investigate why he...
Rainism
Rain - “Rainism”
The song is mostly composed of Rain being sexy and saying “I wanna be a bad boy, I wanna be a bad-bad boy”; it gets pretty repetitive. Question: is the loincloth thing really necessary?
Although it’s been released in October of last year (2008), it’s still fresh on the scene today. However, the title song has been deemed inappropriate and...
