I'm srry my translation for this song sucks, but it is the best I could come up with. I found standing egg when I was stalking the youtube page of the previously introduced artist, Clover. I'll be honest, I do not like every song they put out, but I'm impressed with couple of them and this was it. Short talk, more music.
In case you don't know anything about this group or distinguish asian language, they are not Korean. This is a japanese group who are able to play instruments. This reminded me of Vanilla Lucy in Korea, although I am pretty sure Vanilla Mood came out long before them. Anyway, I always like listening to medley with their own twist and it is always better when someone who is not Korean does it.
This was a song he wrote during his time in the army. It is a song about suicide and trying to prevent it saying you could cry on your friends' shoulder when you need to. He is known for his unique style of personality and also his acting career. He has been in the entertainment business for a long time and although he is not the handsomest guy in Korea, he has definitely proven that he can both act and bring out some crazy raps.
So I went to a huge arcade called playdium yesterday and me being asian, I had to play DDR. As I was searching through Korean music, I found this song. It is an old song yet one of the best cheerleading music in korea for a long time. The vocal was known to be the handsome boy before but now he is known as the devil's boy. He is still an awesome person who speaks truth and has an awesome energy.
Jang Sa Ik is a legendary singer in Korea. I just didn't know about him because he made his first TV appearance around 2006, even though he made his debut llllllllong time ago, because he always wanted to perform live to all the people listening. There was a quote that caught my eye, "There are a lot of people who can sing well in Korea, but Jang Sa Ik has the voice color that represents Korea." I cannot explain what it is, but his voice just captures my attention and gives me chills.
Lucid Fall is an elite who has given up everything he have studied so far in engineering and became an indie singer. He is known to be swedish comic expert, because 1 - he got his degree in sweden and 2 - his jokes are so awkward it's funny in awkward way. He has another song called "Mackerel". Hopefully I spelled that correctly and yes the fish. It is saying how we can eat some tasty fish for cheaper price instead of expensive beef.
I like both of the songs and he has a very unique personality and sense. He was introduced to a lot of people through a show called YHY's Sketchbook and he is not working on his albums and performances.
I haven't updated podcast in a while because the archive did not have the recordings of Feb 7th. I don't think they will ever have it so I just decided to skip it now. The rest of the podcast will be updated shortly.
For the matter of introducing music of the day, I am currently testing if saying the titles itself or having a numbering system like I am doing right now will work better.
T is one of those female vocalist who is so talented, it is so unfortunate she haven't started a career outside Korea. When foreign musicians come into Korea to perform and when they hear her, they all said she would be successful in both rapping and singing career.
She is the wife of Drunken Tiger aka Tiger JK. She has the energy and skill to outperform possibly every single musician in Korea, but she is in the field of hip-hop and performing with her crew seems like something they enjoy and what makes us enjoy them too.
Kim Jong Kook and Gary are now well known to even foreigners because of their appearances on many TV shows and mainly because of the show "Running Man". It looks like this song was made before they actually met in Running man but I'm not sure the exact date is.
They are both well known for the entertainment personality and skillful singing/ rapping skills. Gary is known to have one of the hardest rap to follow because of his unique beats and groove.
Handsome people is a little project band created with fluxus consisting of 3 members. The main focus would be the vocal of the group, Tei. He was a successful solo artist but he said he wanted to work in a band environment and he got it. Although I love this song and other songs from Handsome people, they cannot seem to get that much attention from other people. Before the actual members were released, the music video was a hot issue, because of all the glamorous ladies.
It was quite unfortunate that when Tei came onto the show "I am a singer" he got out on the first round I think, but the show was losing its flare at that time anyway, so hopefully if season 2 comes out, he will be able to reparticipate.
I have shortly introduced Lyn previously with her song "Love me for me" and because she is doing so awesome with her appearances in Immortal Song 2 and this song I won't go too much detail on jibber jabber. I found out about this song way too late because I haven't watched the The moon and the Sun or whatever you call the drama in English.
This song is used as an OST and it has been on the No.1 on the billboard chart for quite some time. I can totally see how this song will cause the mood in the drama scene and it has million other reasons to be no.1 over other songs. However it is unfortunate it has given off its throne to new artist this week, but it is still in top 10 which is awesome.
It is always great to see non-idol groups make an impact to younger people and help them learn different kind of musics are beautiful as well. This song is definitely going on my playlist tomorrow.
Lessang one of the well known hip-hop duo in Korean music industry is also having success with their funny personality in Korean reality TV shows. I knew Lessang before they became huge with general public and getting noticed to global fans, but it looks like people are looking into a lot of their previous and new work after watching the shows which is always good.
It talks about how the clown have to laugh everytime no matter what he may actual feel inside and it has been my favorite the moment I heard the song. The song also features BMK who was a vocal teacher in university but got noticed as a skillful and soulful singer through a show "I am a Singer".
