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. :)

 

 

Yong in Green! and a little bit of Juniel

Just saw the two part cut of Yong with Juniel, well its actually Juniel with Yong since its Juniel's promotion of her album in KBS2 YouHee Yeol's Sketchbook.  I downloaded her album last week but did not listen to it.  Anyway upon seeing Yong sing, I screamed just like a normal fan girl would do! haha! And may I add, I want to hug my screen .  He is so cute - handsome!  :D Again I am liking how Yong handles girls.  It is clear that Juniel is still a bit shy but Yong being a big brother looks so supportive.  I didn't understand a bit but I watched the whole clip hehe!  But as soon as Juniel strum her guitar and sing, you can see her confidence.  Please, I don't sense any 'romantic' thing going on. But they look  OK together I don't feel much of a chemistry, but they performed OK.  Am I just jealous? haha! Na! Maybe a little bit! haha!

Earlier I viewed pictures of CNBLUE leaving Korea to Hong Kong.  Again I wish I live in Hong Kong for CNBLUE experience is not scarce on that part of the globe.

As for Juniel, I just listened to all 5 tracks on her album My First June namely:

Illa - illa.  So catchy that will let you sing along right away on the second chorus.

Ready Go! Got some cutesy effect I don't know why this song is even included.  The song is cute and nice too, but it doesn't go with the rest of the songs on her album.

Everlasting Sunset. It has an Kdrama OST feel in it.

Mask.  The best song on this album for me!  You will really say that she can sing!

Fool.  The song with Yong, how can you not like it.

For a first mini album, its good! I am hating myself for not listening to it upon downloading it.  By the way I got it from this site.

Yonghwaness!

Happy Birthday!  Even there's no way for you to see this post, I really wish you a happy birthday! mwah! Of course I have to have some wishes for you.

• that you will not get a tattoo.


• that you will compose more songs


• that you'll let us see your abs soon


• that I'll see on stage again LIVE!

Well the last two are more of wishes for myself! haha!  Happy birthday and good luck to your endeavors! You worked hard! haha!

Missing to Blog

Even when there's a lot of things to blog about, I find no time to post here.  Its saddening that I don't have my final entry for The King 2 Hearts.  It seems that I blog so much about it but failed to post a decent blog about the ending.  I also failed to blog about Yonghwa's appearance in Juniel's (FNC newbie) music video Stupid.  It is so blog worthy because how many times to get to see Yong's biceps? I can say that in just 2 occasions, in a concert that I posted here, and in the music video.

The color again in this music video is so nice, the song is cool, its Colbie Caillat-esque  and so I like it.  This reminds me of Hey You music video and I wonder why CNBLUE did not make another one for Run or Dreamboy and why the promotions for Ear Fun was halted like that.  Which remind me also of ordering CNBLUE's MTV Unplugged!  Uhhhggg! fangirling is never cheap!

I wonder how long will be seeing 'abs'.  By the way, Shaui invented one word that kpop can use, SELCABS (its a selca but focused on the abs! yay!).  Kpop introduced me to a lot of new words (at least to myself).  hehe..

So with this post, you get to see the word "selcabs"!

Surprise! - Ear Fun LE

How hard are you going to scream if you receive Ear Fun Limited Edition as your birthday gift? An early one that is? I'm gonna scream hard but that I cannot do for I am in the office.  I was caught with a wide grin and my boss thought that I was reading a joke!

[caption id="attachment_1669" align="aligncenter" width="593" caption="fresh from the post LE Ear Fun!"][/caption]

When that picture was sent to me, I was warned that it might lose my concentration for the whole day! I was very confident to reply "go and send my day is about to end" and here I am writing in FB, looking at the picture once in a while and finally, writing a blog! This should be under "Freshly Pressed"!  LOL!  I thought the pic was just one of those things you see on the internet, until I recognized our main office's carpet!  hahaha! Then I thought, "Awww, Shaui bought one, fangirl indeed up one level to fandom!" But on her later email she said "Happy Birthday!" and I was like "Really?!"

We've been talking about this album and even bashed FNC for releasing LEs just after our "Regular" copies of Ear Fun arrived.  But even with that thing in mind, I still discuss with her that every now and then, I view ebay for the LEs and thinking very hard not to buy, not to give in to the fangirl inside me.

I am so happy to see LE Ear Fun making its way to Dubai - to our hands more specifically!

Thank you so much!  Still wearing a wide grin, anticipating which version did Shaui actually bought for me :) yay! Though some element of surprise was lost, still there's room for guessing! I think I'll get Jonghyun's!  And I'm sure she got Yong's.

A fangirl outta to do what ya outta do, buy all the merchandise even if its a complete or a blatant ripping off of our pockets! CNBLUE we don't mind!

Hey You! - Jong Yong Hwa, 4th Teaser

Well, well, well, Hey you! sings Yong! I love all teasers and by the way, some Kpop artists should  can learn from CNBLUE! I like the dark bluish theme (dunno what is the term to use, I'm not a film major) in which we cannot see almost faces, the guitar stand out giving more emphasis to music I supposed rather than their pretty faces! Wants to see still their faces though. Nonetheless its pretty slick. Can't wait for the album!

 

Final Teaser Tonight! 12pm KST 7pm GST

Only Yong's teaser is left.  Save the best for last! This time I'll be on time to watch it! So biased... so far the least to my liking is Minhyuk teaser, though I like the background music.  I'm excited to hear all the tracks from the new mini-album to add to my growing CNBLUE album collection.

아직 사랑한다 - I'm Still Loving You - CNBLUE New Single!

Just yesterday, I posted what could be the possible mini-album title of CNBLUE and that they will release a video over the band's official youtube channel on 16th of March.  Now news are saying that "I'm Still Loving You" (I didn't falter Yonghwa) is CNBLUE's new song that Yonghwa composed.

Now the Winter Tour 2011 Here, In My Head DVD is now released!  Its too expensive and will cost me around 224 AED so that is more of less $60!

Fandom is never cheap.

Minhyuk's drama My Husband got a Family is on-going, but I have not seen any episodes yet.  Download links are in doramax264 but raw and online stream no subs also.  While Jonghyun will be in "A Gentleman’s Dignity" in May.

March 16! – Release Date of Yonghwa’s New Song!

3 days from now, CNBLUE will be releasing their new track with a video of how they recorded the song!   Be sure that you are subscribed to their youtube channel!

Ear fun that is! I'm excited, as usual!

Geek in the Pink - Yonghwa's Version

Mark the day today! Its my Geek in the Pink ala Yonghwa day!  Sorry I have to say it as Yonghwa rather than CNBLUE although Junghyun is there in the guitar, but really Yong's version rocks!  I've 3 versions in youtube, first the one on an MBC show, second the one on the streets of Japan, with their former bassist and third the video of the audio of the Geek in the Pink version of Yong!

I must say that I like the studio version more... my friend didn't even recognize its Yong, its so different.. so amazing! Not to mention Yong is cute while singing it!

Yong Hwa in Purple- CNBLUE goes to Taiwan for CNBLUESTORM

I believe this is blog worthy.  Yong Hwa is sporting a purple pullover as the boys arrives in Taiwan! CNBLUE will play tonight for the Bluestorm concert!  It will surely be another AWESOME night.  Hoping that they will come to Manila soon.

How do I say this... Umm, Jungshin has this total rock star aura, Jonghyun appears so vampiresque, Minhyuk is like a real idol (reminds me of his kdrama promo pics in which he looks different.. like up another notch of cuteness) and Yonghwa.. he looks so tired and looks like he did not think of what to wear.  But I love the color of his pullover (my favorite) and in his own little way he stood up among the 4 just because of his color choice! Nice one Yong!  He could have ditched the scarf.  I got to give it to guys who can wear (and can nail) loud colors.
