A music catch-up and わたしの リバウンド 「My Rebound」
こんいちわ～！！！ Hi everyone! I’ve really been M.I.A on here for a while ne? *oh well* I didn’t review a lot of things I wanted to but here’s my “Summery summary” *aish with the puns* >.<”
MBLAQ’s “Mona Lisa”: 5.7/6
Infinite’s “Over The Top”: Not over the top to me! 8.9/10
Chi Chi - Longer: Song = 90% / Dance = 50% / MV = 75% / Remixes: 70%
AS “red” - In the night sky: 75% / Hollywood: 60%
Teen Top’s “Roman”: 4.75/5 *surprisingly good*
ZE:A “special single” - Intro: 100% omo~♥ / Watch Out!!: 100% Summer Fun!! / Why: 95% / Heart for Two: 85%
Super Junior’s “Mr. Simple”: 9/12 [not so into 3 or 4 of the songs this time but +1 for Tae Wan Mi, +1 for Mr.Simple MV intro song and +1 for SUPER MAN (finally we get the full version after how long? Wasn’t it revealed at Gayodaejun? XP)]
These are all opinions based on how much I enjoyed the songs, how often I’d be likely to repeat them and overall content/quality. And now here’s my special recommendations!
MBLAQ
- Moreugesseoyo - MBLAQ obviously worked really hard on this mini album!!! I loved it almost more than their album! XDDD The musical concept of this mini album is really strong! I actually liked every other song on the album better than Mona Lisa, but I picked this song out because of Mir’s little comedy feature! XD
Infinite
- Julia - Inspirits called Julia MUST be happy right now ne? XD *lucky* This song is really amazing! I loved all of their previous songs but this one… so beautiful ne? ♥
- Because - I thought I’d love “Crying” most out of the ‘solos’ since my mind screamed: “Hoya naekkeo haja!!!” when I first heard it! XD It’s very reminiscent of Epik High’s Umbrella (I think it may even have a sample from that song O.o) BUT… it was Sunggyu’s solo that really captured my attention! I never expected a song like this… it was just *wow* I appreciate his voice in the group even more now! I love this song, one of my fave Infinite songs! I even had it on replay in the car! XD
Teen Top
- Beautiful Girl - I *unexpectedly* really loved Teen Top’s mini album!!! Each song was like a scenario and a view on ‘love’. Beautiful girl is such a fun song and watching them perform it, they looked like they were having fun too!!! ^^ I wasn’t much of an “Andromeda”(O.o?) before but this mini album may have made me a proper fan!
ZE:A
- Why - This song is just too fun! X] This time round ZE:A captured the fun of friendship, cute summer crushes and lots of summer fun memories!!!!! ^^
Super Junior
- Haebaragi - This song reminds me of growing sunflowers as a child back when they were my favourite flower ♥ And it also reminds me of summers / sunny days and watching Wei Xiao PASTA!!! *good times* keke~* ^^
- Opera - Don’t ask! I love it!!! There’s something really compelling about the music and the way it has been sung! Ah~ the drops and rises in the flow of the music and the chaotic overlapping melodies!!! It’s just so intriguing!!! ^^
- Y - Written by Donghae from real life experiences apparently! I loved it before I even knew that~ it just seemed really deep and emotional ne!!! Sou touching~♥
Okay so last music mentions go to:
- Koda Kumi since I’ve started listening to more of her stuff and *YAY Kumi!* Of course she’s awesome!!! ^^
- Yanghwajin band labelmates of F.cuz. They’re a great band!!! I’m anticipating a formal debut and hope many people support them! ^^ They’ve got an OST song already and have done some awesome rock-esque covers of some really popular K-pop songs! *hell… they even made me listen to their version of Miss A’s Bad Girl Good Girl!!!* XDDD
- And finally to all 4 members of F.CUZ I want to wish you luck in the future! I’ll support both Lee-U and F.cuz and wish them all the best for their final fan meeting tomorrow as four! 8’<

Sou to bring this to a lighter note! I’ve “rebounded” back in the drama scene and watching another Mokomichi Hayami drama (I admit… I’m a Moko-fangirl *sighs*) This drama has CAKE so it’s a MUST for me!!! *I heart caeki* Anyone who’s ever felt… unhappy about their weight should probably watch this! I’m on EP4 and my fave lines so far are: absolutely ANYTHING in “Muumin” keke~ and “Body weight has nothing to do with the weight of love”. Yes Aibu Saki takes the lead role here and for you Zettai Kareshi fans it’s like a little like a walk down memory lane! ^^
Sooo…. ^^ anyone else seen “Rebound”?
