I'm in D-d-d-danger!

Korean girl group f(x) just recently released their new single "Pinocchio (Danger)" a year after their last single NU ABO. Man, it's been a while. Honestly, I love how SM Entertainment is a South Korean based music company who welcomes people of other nationalities into their groups. Actually, not just SM is doing that. Victoria and Amber of f(x) are both Chinese. In YG, Sandara and I think Minzy of 2NE1 are Filipino. JYP has Fei and Jia of MissA who are both Chinese. Now I'm just waiting for one of these companies to debut a Vietnamese person. Haha. Honestly, the Vietnamese music industry is having a hard time catching up with the South Korean and Japanese music industry. Apparently, part of the problem lies with the communist government? Many Vietnamese songs either speak against the communist government or they're based on the Catholic faith (which isn't supported in Vietnam). I really wished that that wasn't the case, though. More freedom in Vietnamese music would yield better songs and maybe stuff from my own culture that I would actually listen to. While I wait for that day to come, I guess I'll just listen to KPop and JRock. Haha.

Okay, totally off topic now. I looked up the lyrics for "Pinocchio (Danger)" and it's rather... Disjointed? Something about the girl creating the guy to be her ideal type and then everything he is is a lie (hence the Pinocchio). Then like... I dunno! All I know is that I really like the beat. This song, like SNSD's "Run Devil Run" and SHINee's "Juliette," this song is a "spinoff" of an American song.

Ah, well. I loved the f(x) music video. The playful colors and patterns matched the Pinocchio theme perfectly. Plus, I loved a lot of their outfits (especially Krystal's)! :D

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is Gettin' Good

Not quite sure how many episodes of the series there's supposed to be, but right now I'm on episode 52. I'm watching the dubbed episodes just because I don't really like listening to Japanese voice actors, especially for Ed and Al. I think their voice actors are girls.

The plot for the anime remake is ten times better. The series is definitely more intense. There's a lot of plot twists, especially with the carrying out of Mustang's coup d'etat. Ahhh! So exciting! Too bad it'll be a while before the next 13 dubbed episodes will be released. I could easily watch the subbed ones just for the plot, but ehhh. I really don't want to. There's also the manga, but I don't have a lot of time these days to sit down and read comic books. Dang. I'm actually not quite sure if the manga is complete yet. I think it is. Last time I heard, Hiromu Arakawa was working on a new manga series called Silver Spoon or something like that so she must be done with Fullmetal Alchemist. Unless she's working on both series at once.

Maybe it's a good thing that I ran out of dubbed episodes to watch. It'll give me more reason to concentrate on my schoolwork. There's less than 5 weeks left of school so I better kick it up a notch and finish strong!
