SeeYa says goodbye on Music Core

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8gwZzRVgZgendofvid


[starttext]




Having announced their disbandment last month, SeeYa embarked on the final journey of their promotions for their farewell album on this week’s MBC’s Music Core.

Since debuting in 2006, the group has experienced highs and lows, and the members will be going their separate paths on an amicable note, especially after Nam Gyuri rejoined the group for this final album promotion, having left earlier under acrimonious circumstances.


SeeYa’s original trio stated, “We pledged to not look sad in front of our fans, to not cry, to not look weak, and to confidently do our best until the very end before we went up on stage. We’ll be making this pledge for our remaining stage as well.”

They concluded, “It’s so sad thinking that this is SeeYa’s final goodbye stage, but we only want to show fans our smiling side. I honestly thought I’d cry, but I tried to remember the happy moments I had with SeeYa in order to avoid crying. We’ve rehearsed a lot to make sure we present the best possible stage, so please look forward to our goodbye stage.”

[starttext]


Having performed on M! Countdown yesterday, the four girls continued with their comeback stage on this week’s KBS’s Music Bank.

More than a year has gone by since Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young left the group to pursue their solo careers, and it has been one long wait for fans as Star Empire patiently scouted replacement members to join Ha Joo Yeon and Kim Eun Jung.


Superstar K Top 10 finalist, Park Se Mi, joined the group 6 months ago, and Kim Ye Won rounded out the quartet, having just been unveiled earlier this month.

After months of preparation, the new Jewelry makes its return with a brand new power ‘locking’ hip hop dance style and b-girls concept for their comeback single, ‘Back It Up‘.

2NE1’s album hits #1 in the Philippines

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUZf2VAumNsendofvid

[starttext]

When 2NE1’s highly-anticipated first album hit shelves back in September of last year, no one predicted that it would achieve the explosive results that it did.

With a staggering amount of pre-orders, over a million YouTube views for each of their triple title-track MVs, and a triple-crown win, the ladies of 2NE1 can add yet another accomplishment to their ever-expanding resume.


According to data compiled by the Philippines’ music retailers, Astrochart/Astrovision, 2NE1’s album “To Anyone“, became a #1 best-seller! Not only that, but their “First Mini-Album Re-package (CD+DVD)” also claimed the #2 spot on the chart.

The girls wanted to personally thank their Filipino Blackjacks for making this achievement possible, so they uploaded a video expressing their thanks in Tagalog.

Check it out below!



2NE1: Mabuhay Philippines! Wassup, we 2NE1!

Dara: Thank you to all of our Filipino Blackjacks for supporting us. We hope that you will continue to support our new album, “To Anyone.” Mahal namin kayo! (We love you all!)

Bom: Mahal (ko) kayo! (I love you all!)

Netizens commented, “This is my first time hearing a man perform those three high notes with a female key in such a clear voice,” “Even if it’s a falsetto, it was easy to listen to it. Seeing as how he didn’t shake at all, he must be really talented,” and “I got goose bumps. His voice is prettier than a girl’s.”

Meanwhile, Dalmatian will be making their comeback on February 14th with their first mini-album.

Orange Caramel returns with “Still…” on Music Core

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my41ujCHhEgendofvid


[starttext]


After School’s unit group, Orange Caramel, previously melted the hearts of fans with their cute “A~ing” comeback, and have followed up on today’s Music Core with their ballad, “Still…“!

“Still…” is written and composed by lead vocalist Raina and features lyrics from her own experience.

Orange Caramel said backstage before going on stage to perform “Still…”, “The song’s notes are very high. Because of that, we’ve been worried about singing it live.



Raina said, “We’ve been getting more vocal lessons because we worry about performing it live. The other members are practicing constantly too.”

Lizzy added, “Personally, I want to perform “A~ing” more. The song is so fun, so is its choreography. But during ‘Still…’, our faces and our choreography is very calm.”

Nana then said, “Our makeup is not dark this time around. It’s more of a natural look.”

They all concluded, “People will get to see a brand new side of us through this song. Please look forward to it and show us much love.”

[Update] J. Reyez’s new track, “Maybe One Day”, has this author seeing red

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1WbnSywJoIendofvid

[starttext]


Guest-featuring Jay Park, everyone’s been raving about how delicious the new track is, how (like his video) it’s hot like fire.

Unfortunately, I have to disagree. In a very big way.

I listened to the first couple of bars, was intrigued by the build-up, and then promptly rage-quit the track 35 seconds in. The reason being was that I was so offended by a particular line that I could not fathom how the track could get any better.

J. Reyez boasts, “My name is J-Reyez, yup, the Korean guy // I represent the Asians, we all chinky-eyed.”

Seriously?

We all hate it when people of other cultures refer to us as ‘chinky-eyed’, or when they assume that we’re all Chinese and so greet us with “Ni hao“, or some ridiculous singsong nonsense.

So why would we ever introduce those words, that slur, into our music? Why would we give others the impression that it’s okay to refer to people of Asian descent as ‘chinky-eyed’ because an Asian hip hop artist made it seem like it was acceptable?

It’s straight-up ignorance. And honestly, even if the rest of the track was spectacular in its verbal eloquence, those lines were intellectually cheap, degrading, and full of self-loathing.

I don’t care to be represented by anyone who sees degradation as a source of personal hype. I know that we’re in an era now that seeks to reclaim certain words, but some words, some descriptions, should just stay buried.

I’m not hating on J. Reyez, I’m just disappointed with his decision to include those lyrics into his work. With that said, I know every artist has the one bad track, and I’m sincerely hoping that whatever J. Reyez releases in the future will be something that will truly allow his talents to shine.

Maybe one day, but not today.
