SM Teasers May Be Better Than the Actual Song

Seriously. what's up with that? The audio on the Girls' Generation "Run Devil Run" teaser could've been a totally legit song. Not that the song itself wasn't good. Just saying that the beat for the teaser would've made for a more badass song.

Shouldn't There Be Some Sort of Age Limit for This Industry?

Okay, so here's this group called GP Basic. These girls are like around the age of middle schoolers.

What I'm wondering is why are these girls entered into such a vigorous music industry at such a young age? There's a price for being a KPop idol. I've seen some of the older idol groups suffer greatly from stress and overworking themselves. Leeteuk, the leader of Super Junior who's 27-ish right now, was recently admitted to the hospital for exhaustion. Now, I'm not saying that the company that owns these girls are working them that hard but if they are then I don't know what to say. Is being in the music industry that appealing that young girls would sell themselves like that for fame? I dunno. This is just my opinion. Hopefully the fame won't destroy them.

Japanese Guys Be Pervin' More Than Korean Guys?

I'd say that Japanese guys are the most perverted kinds of Asians there are. I mean, if you compare the Girls' Generation videos for Japan and South Korea there's obviously a lot of differences. The most noticeable difference between the Japanese and Korean versions of the music videos? The way the girls dress. Take the original music video for "Gee."

The girls were dressed in colorful skinny jeans and tank tops. Now take a look at the Japanese version of "Gee."

The outfits are a lot less innocent as the girls begin wearing belly button bearing shirts. I guess when expanding to the Japanese market, the girls had to appeal to the demographic more. There shouldn't be much of a surprise about the Japanese guys being pervs. I'm pretty sure a lot of them are reading their yaoi or pornographic manga. Whatever.

Tumblr is for the Elites?

It always bugs me whenever I mention Tumblr to people and my friends tell me to shush because it's supposed to be a secret or it's meant only for the elites. Forreal, people? That's ridiculous. You act like Tumblr is some sort of secret society. I even had one friend tell me to unlink my Tumblr from my Facebook because no one on Facebook should know about it. It just totally bugs me every time she tells me that she's sad I didn't unlink it.

Shampoo (and Conditioner)!

After School just had a comeback with their new single "Shampoo." Interesting name for a song. Actually, more interesting is the analogy used in the song. Shampoo used to describe love. Hmmm...

The song itself is pretty nice. What I was more impressed with was the work that After School put into learning new skills to promote their singles. For their song "Bang!" they learned a drumline routine.

For "Shampoo," they learned tap dancing.

Honestly, this group is amazing to go through so much work to promote themselves. My favorite member Park Kahi, the first solo tap dancer, is basically 30-something years old and leader of After School. She works extremely hard to take care of the other members and to not disappoint her fans with a weak performance. Amazing lady!
