Horrible news for Korean Dance group Koyote

While Kim Jong Min is wrapping up his two year term of Service in the Army this month, his two Koyote partners have terrible news to great him with.

Female vocalist Shin Ji recently contracted more than just flu. She visited the doctor as was diagnosed with Swine Flu on Dec 1st. The good news is that Korean stars getting hit my this sickness seems to be a common occurrence, so our beloved Shin Ji should make a full recovery soon enough.
A representative was quoted saying:

Until she is completely healed, we plan to stop all of her activities and allow her to rest.

The other member of this trio, 28 year-old rapper BaekGa, has a… brain tumor? WHAT?! He went to the doctor complaining of reoccurring headaches and was told it may be something more. According to one source, BaekGa, will be getting several second opinions. Let’s hope surgery is possible, and successful.

From what I’ve read on the forum, the Army took BaekGa in for his two years back in October of this year! Why couldn’t they take BOTH men at once? Well, maybe that’s the record studio’s fault. Rumor has is that they are planning on creating a Koyote Vol. 11 with just Shin Ji and Jong Min this time. Sound like it good be great only, who’s going to do the rapping?

I found a Koyote fan forum. Sadly, it’s in Chinese, but they do have a lot of pics and such. <3

alan – my life (a quick REVIEW)

alan has just released her Sophomore album effort entitled my life.

alan - my life

I am VERY sad to report that it falls well short of my high expectations of what alan is capable of! :(

Most of the new album tracks are slow and uninspired. And then there’s two dance tracks which make no sense at all in the alan universe. Also, has her voice gotten worse? It sounds more like a rusty door hinge than ever before. I sure hope alan’s not on some kind of diet!

the Good:
Kuon no Kawa, BALLAD, Swear, One, Namida (Smooth Jam Mix)

OK:
my life, Lost Child

the Bad:
Everything else!

Gosh alan, WTC? At lest the album cover is damn cool.

Watch MV’s:

Swear

Kuon no Kawa [Eternal River]

BALLAD ~Namonaki Koi no Uta~ [Nameless Love Song]

MadNesS

So who’s MiChi? What?

Rather than do a new artist spotlight (b/c I’ve already decided that school food punishment is so damn cool that I’m giving them two months), I’m just going to post up some PV’s!

MiChi = London x Tokyo. I can’t confirm whether she’s mixed but, she does sing in both fluent English and Japanese. Born in London, MiChi moved to Japan at a young age.

MiChi – Fuck You and Your Money [Live]

This is from her entirely English Indie album in June 2008.

MiChi – PROMiSE PV

Her first Japanese single released in Oct. 2008.
A really colorful and fun intro PV! (oddly, with a boring ending) =D

MiChi – ChaNge the WoRLd PV

The bilingual singles continue with this great song released in Feb. of 09.
If you like flying paint then you’ll like this PV. *dances*
(too bad MiChi doesn’t seem to know how to dance…)
The ending of this one is the best! Ture MiChi MadNesS! :o

MiChi – KiSS KiSS xxx PV

Took me a minute to track this one down. Thanks a lot copyrights! grg.
The PV is kinda cool with MiChi playing under her umbrella. ^_^ May 2009.

Had to Google and go all the way to Japan for it! You can view the video via this link below:
Watch KiSS KiSS xxx PV here link

Or watch her sing it Live below!

MiChi – YOU PV

Being her only slow song, the PV isn’t the most excited thing to watch but, it’s far from boring. :)
It’s quite cute actually. Sep. 9th 2009.

MiChi – You Gotta Be (TV LIVE)

Some of you may actually remember this song from the 90’s… In this live version, MiChi sings beside a man named Saigenji (and that’s all I know about him).

I think she did a great job! Luv ya MiChi guRl! ^o^

Artist Spotlight

school food punishment is a relatively new band that I just discovered recently (last month actually), though they original formed in Oct. of '04. The sound of the band is something truly unique, and you'd have to hear it to believe that. I would describe is as "electronica fusion rock".

Hailing from Tokyo and commonly referred to as "sfp" for short, they are:

  • Uchimura Yumi (Vocals, Guitar)
  • Ueda Atsushi (Bass)
  • Hasuo Masayuki (Keyboard)
  • Hidai Osamu (Drums)

The band fought to gain recognition in their early days and, starting in 2007, released three mini-albums before being signed with Sony's Epic Records in early 2009. Since then they've dropped three really good singles. The first of which, futuristic imagination, was used as an ending theme for the popular anime series Eden of the East, which gave the band their final push into the bright spotlight of fame. (Isn't that usually how it goes with Sony?)

One of the coolest things about the band is their PV's (Promotional or Music Videos) and album artworks- both or which are quite artistic and off the norm. Let's hope they keep up this trend! I wouldn't doubt a debut album dropping by year's end. Can't wait!
