2PM- 'All Day I Think Of You' MV

I'm a little slow with this post since the video has been out for almost three weeks, but I like the song so much that I felt that I just had to make a post about it and include some of the great screen-caps that I was able to get.
I was wondering when they were going to make a come-back since it's been more than a year since 'Hands Up' came out. Now they're back with 'All Day I Think of You' and 'Come Back When You Hear This Song'. With these two songs and videos I've noticed two things. They look mature and hot, and the song titles are hella long now.
Beyond that though, I really do like ADTOY. The song, the choreography and the video are perfect together. I think they did a good job of making it known that they're older and more mature without being tasteless about it.

There have been a few performances of this song, so far but I've only seen one that includes Nichkhun's falsetto part. It's the MBC-Kpop performance that they did on 5/11/13.


As promised, feast your eyes on all the following hotness....














EXO Is Back... 'Wolf' MV


After about 13 months since the release of their last single "MAMA", EXO is back with "Wolf", the first single from the upcoming album "XOXO". SM uploaded two teaser videos for this song before finally posting the MV for both K and M sub sections of EXO. There was alot of build-up and hype surrounding this group when SM first introduced them, and for the most part I think these guys did a good job of living up to the expectations. I wish their live stages had more live singing but it IS understandable, since the choreography for their songs tends to be really physical.
'Wolf' is no different. The two versions of the video very similar but the vocal arrangement and placement of the group members is different.

EXO-K
EXO-M


At first I wasn't blown away by the song, I was thinking  "it's catchy but not my favorite from EXO, but the choreography is pretty cool. I love the tree!" Then I went in search of the lyrics, and my feelings grew, exponentially, for the song. I love the concept of a guy fighting his inner beast so that he can get and keep the girl. They way that their almost having a conversation throughout the song about what decision to make, whether to make the girl into a meal for the full moon (heavy bass/industrial and rough voices) or hold back for love (light piano melody and soulful riffs). The song is definitely growing on me.
I have so say that this surprised me, most times songs that I like musically work out lyrically, while the ones that I don't favor tend to be weak lyrically. It's nice to have a song surprise me in a good way. I want to say job well done to the writer of this song. If anyone has the information about who it is, I would love to know :)

Fortunately the guys have even done a live stage on M Countdown, so we can see them again right away.

WonderBoyz- 'Tarzan' MV



I usually know something about the groups that I put up, but although I have heard their name before, I have no real idea who the members of WonderBoyz are, and what types of singles they have put out before. Honestly, I’m not that interested in them yet, but I did come across their new song and MV ‘Tarzan’. 

The first time I heard it, I thought I had stumbled upon a Reggeaton song, another genre of music that I enjoy, so I wasn’t upset, but then the presence of cute Asian boys threw me off. There is definitely something about this song that is reminiscent of a Daddy Yankee song, but beyond that it’s just really well produced. The placement of their vocals and all the added background sounds, makes this song super catchy. As I said, I don’t know anything about this group and the song doesn’t give a great understanding of their vocal skills, but it’s got that great addictive hook and updated Tarzan call.




The video is cute but I with there had been a little more to the story. This guy stays in his house all day surrounded by Tarzan comics and old school movies. Then he leaves the house, which is a huge step, and he appears in front of his “Jane” with the dirty clothes and messy hair because he’ll be just as wild and fierce as Tarzan in order to protect her, but is he some jobless loafer? Couldn’t they have worked the other members into the plot a bit better? How come that pimple on his upper lip disappears when he goes outside? Just few things that went through my mind while watching.
Anyway, I’ll look out for their live performance of this song to see if I’ll become interested in this group, but if I don’t,  at least I found a really cool song to start off the summer withJ.
