Truth - CNBLUE's New Japanese Single
To tell you the truth, I like more the CNBLUE songs that they release in Japan. Its just that Japanese albums are expensive thus I can't buy every mini-albums that my boys releases in Japan. Its been over a week since the PV was released.. Sorry and I call myself a Boice.
As usual the song is awesome! Again the way Jonghyun's voice comes out after Yonghwa's part in every song of CNBLUE is perfect and can't find a place where it could have come out better!

CNBLUE's Lady
CNBLUE's Lady PV is out! Its so nice that I've been getting more of CNBLUE this week! Starting with drama casting of Min-hyuk for Heirs and Yong-hwa for Future Choice! Its nice to know that I'll get to see them twice a week on the small screen, though I am fully aware that they are not the best actors, but anything that will feed my fangirling is always welcome! yay!
Celebrating Bluemoon in Manila
I can't... If only.. But... Yes, I did see CNBLUE's Bluemoon in Hong Kong last May, but nothing beats a CNBLUE concert in your home country. We planned our vacation so early that the announcement of CNBLUE's concert in the Philippines were done after our trip was finalized. Anyway, to celebrate it (from Dubai) on the day of the concert I wore my Bluemoon concert t-shirt and painted my nails... BLUE! I put silver studs on my point finger. I remember coming to Hong Kong with that same nail color :)
CNBLUE in Manila!

I was not there. That's a very sad fact. Sad is an understatement. For years I and my few friends were following CNBLUE. Okay we are FANGIRLS and I don't have to expound that term for you. I've been to two CNBLUE concerts but still, having it in our own country will make it more special, more awesome! You see Philippines or should I say Manila is so thirsty with Kpop compared to our neighboring countries. I am not sure of the fanbase of Kpop in Philippines overall, but there's been concert here and there and a yearly Kpop convention that started in 2009, which makes it hard to believe that Manila will be one of the last places when it comes to concert like this.
I thank those guys who made the effort to let CNBLUE come to Manila. I am skeptical but hopeful for that to happened and it did. I remember voting for the survey that they did last year. It is just a bliss to see it actually happened, even my title of this post "CNBLUE in Manila"!
To make things more fun for the Pinoy fans, CNBLUE had a press con SM Megamall. I asked my sister to go there, for the fear of just a few fans will show up. But man, I was mistaken big time! Another reason why I asked her was, I know that one way or another she'll get to get pass security people, and there she was, in front row (or the sides) bearing production pass and see my boys, up close! can I cry now? waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
We are so envious because I for once flew to Hong Kong twice to see them live, get up so early in the morning to get the best tickets to see them as close a possible, but her, my little sister, just a jeepney ride and metro ride, boom! CNBLUE in her face. She was not even a fan. Though she finds Minhyuk cute. What made her more lucky is she got a copy of the coverage of the presscon that almost did not happen for the fans are getting crazy or CRAZY. Any Pinoy Boice will go wild after waiting for years. And yes I am bitter, we are bitter! hehe!
Here's the video for your viewing pleasure!
Bluemoon, more fun in the Philippines!
Hits and Spins! Kang Min Hyuk on Drums for CNBLUE
Its late but I really have to post this...A video of Kang Min Hyuk on drums for CNBLUE. Drummers as we know stays at the back and can barely see them. I wrote previously that I suddenly appreciated his skills when I watched CNBLUE live last year. Usually drummers have a bigger built and that's why I doubted if that skinny kid can actually hit the drums. Well for Kang Min Hyuk he can! DAEBAK! The way he spins the drumsticks is so sexzzzy!
CNBLUE Live in London - Screams, screams and more screams!
It was announced rather abruptly that CNBLUE will have a concert in London (haha! as If I can fly to London just to see them). It was yesterday and I didn't post about it here on my blog, because we are so sad because of the possibility of seeing them here in Dubai is rather slim. Though we are happy that CNBLUE's popularity reached UK or at least reached the Asians there and the Asians at heart. It may not that big of an event, but for a fangirl like me it is big and its our pride too! A proud CNBLUE fan. I remembered Shiwon for a moment there. Ha!
Dozens of fancam flood my tumblr, twitter and cnbluestorm.com, but this one is more than 1 hour video, which also mean an hour of screaming from this fangirl (BakaSensei2011). Thanks for sharing!
I will still whine about us not getting anything from BLUESTORM concert that we attended early this year in Hong Kong not to mention that my camera got busted and I have to deposit and pay 20 HKD which equivalent to a decent meal in McDonalds. BOOOO! Every time that I'll see a fancam I will always remember that I attended a CNBLUE concert and I failed to have a fancam of my own.
Hope to see another concert of CNBLUE with Odie. :)
Code Name BLUE!
I made a silly mistake when I ordered this album last August 28. I forgot to check the option, "Contact me for changes in shipping" (something like that) and the result was cancellation of my order. I got hysterical and almost ordered in CDJapan which the charge for shipping is so expensive even if using EMS. Good thing I was talking with my friend who bought the album along with me and I got into my senses that the cost of shipping will let us buy one more CD, so that was a big NO WAY! I communicated with HMV, but then ordered again. And that is when I learned that I forgot to tick that option and that is why I am not receiving the email for the confirmation of my order even if there's a change on the price. He! Even on my second order, I forgot to tick it and good thing after I ordered, I emailed them saying that it is completely fine if they have to adjust the charges. Whew! Charge to experience!
All the time this morning, I jolt in my seat whenever somebody comes from the door. I just wanted to see a man dress in a red shirt, telling me he is from Empost -- a mail man! When the man in red finally comes, he called my name and I didn't say, "Yes its me" but rather "Yehey!" and he was like "Are your Flora?" apparently there are 2 parcels for our office. Haha! I told him "No" and gave the my package and I gladly signed it.

Code Name BLUE on my office desk[/caption]
It did not take a long time for me to pop it inside the CD drive and play it! My face is wearing a big grin all the time the Code Name BLUE plays. As I said before, I did not download the album for I wanna hear if from the CD. The same thing I did for Ear Fun. Some of the songs were released on their mini albums and there are new ones too! Its so worth it! Ugggh! that looks like an understatement.
I like track no. 8, These Days, and Have a Good Night is so catchy it landed as my ringtone already! I like it when someone sings about coffee, my can't-live-without beverage! I'm surprise to hear Track no. 7, No More its a track that you can dance with. CNBLUE indeed has evolved. I noticed a lot of great guitar works.
Its so nice to see a lot of "Jung Yong Hwa" on the inlay card for the Lyrics and Music! One hot talented front man! One thing that I like about CNBLUE is the combination of Yong Hwa and Jong Hyun voices. They both sing the right part of the song. There is no song that you could say that "It should be Jong Hyun's part or Yong Hwa's part" for me its perfect till now. Although its very clear that the boys are venturing out to different genres (yes, even dance), which I like, and I hope they will not lose their signature. I still want to remember that they are the same band that brought us I'm a Loner.
Good luck to your concert in London and the series of shows in Japan in October! Yes I am bitter for not being in any of those countries. Hope they will stop by Dubai and I know who will have a heart attack just with that thought! haha!
Out Now - Code Name BLUE!
Its probably in their hands now, Japanese Boice that is. While for us (Boice) here in Dubai have to wait. I checked our order and only 1 is ready and since I opted for it to be delivered all together, the next shipment will be on the 31st. Then that's the time HMV will ship it, and they will most likely email me to agree with the adjustment of the charges since its more than 500 grams thus I need to add, 180 JPY which is OK. I'm hoping to get it on Thursday next week. yay! I usually shy away from mp3 rips of their songs as I want to hear it first hand on their CD because what's the point of buying. Coby, there's a 5 set calendar card! hehe.
I'm excited to hear CNBLUE's new songs and I am glad that most of it were composed by CNBLUE themselves!
I wonder how well it did on Oricon charts, and I am happy to be part of it! Next month I will order Come On, though its just a 3-song album, it will have a 44-pages photobook! I still have to buy In my Head and Where You Are, not for anything else but I simply love those songs.
I hope South Korea have something similar to HMV. My first experience with HMV is so smooth, plus it gives me an ease to know that you are buying to an established enterprise rather than some sellers on ebay that marks up the prices so high (almost doubles it). Though albums released in Korea is cheaper than its Japan's counterpart, but I wish I could get it cheaper. I got it say 50USD including shipping but on eBay its 54USD shipping charge not included.
So Boices around the world, if you would like to get Code Name BLUE, better get it over at HMV!
Code Name BLUE - CNBLUE's First Japanese Major Album
Today I remember that we still have to get CNBLUE's Code Name BLUE album! Its out on the 29th, so after receiving our salary for this month, we will order the album! My excitement was again is renewed! It will cost us, 3 Limited Edition (of course we will get the LE!) 11,190 Yen, the delivery cost might be more also as its for 3 albums which will weight more than 500 grams. This is the reason why it will incur delay, after they readied your purchase for shipment, that is the tome they will ask you if you are willing to pay the extra charges for the shipment. The whole thing will take 2 days. Still even with that it arrived fast!
I am saddened upon also reading that the album qualifies for "novelty" But its a rather a weird combination of purchase. Why would I buy a standard edition while I intend to have the Limited Edition? I also see on one site about a Lawson version which includes I think a video of "Where You Are" at Tokyo Dome City Hall, which I don't see on the list.
I am more interested on the tracks on this album which is pretty much a combination of the mini albums that they released in Japan successfully namely, In My Head and Where You Are. I still have not listened to any of new songs of CNBLUE. Again I would want it coming from the CD itself! A lot of the tracks here are from Yonghwa itself. :)
And its here! - CNBLUE MTV Unplugged
The long wait is ovah! Its here! Its here! As the post man enters and saw EMS, I didn't bother to ask, I way I grabbed the package from his hand is more of a snatch (hehe!), I squealed together with Shaui, did jump? I hope not cause its kinda not so proper office conduct. But can you blame me? I love HMV, its way cheaper and delivers it fast (thru EMS)! Till our next purchase, "Code Name BLUE"! I ordered it last 30th of July, they shipped on the 4th because they have to adjust the charges on the shipping since its over 500g.
Currently listening to the CD now with all the wide grin on my face! Oh my favorite of all "In my Head" is now playing!
Landed in Dubai - MTV Unplugged!
Its here in Dubai! Although its not here on our hands yet, but its good to know that it arrived already. yay! Hope they will not open it, just like Ear Fun before.
Kang Minhyuk - Awwwww.....
Looking for something to do, I decided to check whether I can download the rest of the subbed 1n2d Season 2, I saw a screen grab of one episode of Happy Together. Kang Minhyuk is there and said something that we wants to be with CNBLUE for the rest of his life... awwww..
One Time!
Yes its the CNBLUE song! yay! whats the fuzz? well it was used as a music in one of the news about US gymnasts in the Olympics and how it inspires the wannabees aspiring gymnasts! Some airtime! No matter how short but being mentioned made me a proud noona fan!
Clip is at allkpop.com
Flying to Dubai! - CNBLUE MTV Unplugged
CNBLUE's MTV Unplugged in Japan was released last June 27. Yes, they have an Unplugged album in their belt already and that is MTV and yes it will remind you of Nirvana (though not Nirvana-esque) still for me, for us, its big!
Due to monetary constraints (fangirling is never cheap), we decided to not to pre-order it on HMV, and checked ebay to see if its cheaper, but its 3 times more expensive. I did not consider yesasia because its usually expensive there. Sometimes the shipping charges is more expensive than the product itself which is like robbing.
After we get our happy salary for July, we decided to buy it. My previous post, came into a reality. Yay! Actually we decided, if we will pre-order the Code Name BLUE. I told the girls that if we do that, the items will be shipped after the release of Code Name BLUE, which is end of August (can't wait to get my hands ears on that too!)
Going through the whole buying process in HMV is such a breeze and can do it even with eyes closed! The reason for that is, I've been going through the same process since April without hitting "Purchase"! hehe. And now its flying to Dubai! Of course we bought the Limited Edition! Its 206 AED, around 54 USD all in! In Ebay its 80USD, some sellers even sell it for over a 100 USD.
So if you've been saving and will buy this must have album of CNBLUE, try HMV, its cheaper and easy.
Again - Yonghwa in Running man!
Woooohooooo! Yong filming for Running Man! Nobody can argue that Yong is one of those guests that gets into the game. Meaning he takes his guesting seriously. And that adds up to many reasons to love Yong. I am We are so looking forward to see Yong again for RM!
Dreamboy + Hey You at Music Bank
As I said before, I feel like the promotion for CNBLUE's Earfun album was not enough. I mean it took me longer to have their album (I pre-ordered) than their promotion. And when they promoted, it its always Hey you and Still in Love. Earfun got a lot of good songs in it, I love all of it by the way and not seeing them play it on stage makes me sad. But alas! now I saw them perform Dreamboy, I can't help but smile - a smile that extended till my ears! I think that's "earfun" for me yay! Although it just a portion of Dreamboy, still its nice to hear another version of it live (well sort of). Enjoy the video! credits: akfnzhyjs1
I noticed an improvement at Jonghyun, I feel like he has more stage presence now. I think it helped appearing in a drama. But why Minhyuk is too far behind? At the beginning of the song I can barely hear Yonghwa. CNBLUE awesome!
