"I'm just one person. I don't think that K4R4 should change, or be broken apart, because of me. So I thought about splitting up my contracts between me as a K4R4 member and me in relation to the company, split between my private and public life."
"I still have a lot of goals. That's why I want to re-make myself, while doing my best within K4R4. To do that, I feel that I need time and effort ... that's why I decided to not renew my personal contract with D$P, since I wanted to put that effort into my future."
Visually, I like it, but I saw the showcase and the song is shit. Might be one of those cases where the MV actually helps the song and not the other way around. Gave me some Genie/Mr.Taxi/VisualDreams mix vibes, too.
That TK guy was with Hyo when she went shopping in hongkong. He's also there in the opening ceremony of a new I.T. fashion store in Hong Kong, in May where jessica was also invited so they probably knew each other not only because of Hyo. He's also spotted with Ga in shopping for her dress in an award ceremony, he helps out a a lot of kpop idols/actors esp. when they're in hongkong. And in that award show, i guess there's nothing wrong being sitted with the person you knew than stranger or popular celebrity but you didn't know personally(though it would be cool) but not as comfortable with a friend and in these1,2 articles(not only in these 2 articles) it says/rumoured that guy is dating a kpop trainee soon to be debuted singer
They really used the highlights of the songs for the teasers and I gotta admit it was a bit of a letdown. Dunno how to describe the general sound of the album...a mix of acid/tarantella/jazz-hot/pop?
Romance of the 2nd - The album opens quite nicely with this song. It's quite chill while remaining sharp and Aiyou's voice really compliments the guitar that plays throughout the whole track. More fitting to be the main song rather than Modern Times, IMO. 4/5 Where da fuq have I heard that guitar riff before!? It's going to kill me until I find out.
Everyone Has a Secret - In short, Ga!n kills it...Aiyou not so much. It's sexy and it needs it's own lesbian themed MV, but it doesn't look too good when the featuring artist outshines the main singer. 4.5/5
Between the Lips (50 cm) - This was the song I was looking forward to listening the most, and it didn't disappoint. It's slow and alluring. Love everything in this song: Aiyou's voice, the playful piano & trumpets, the drums, the bass and guitars, the lyrics and how they all mesh perfectly together. 5/5
The Red Shoes - Dat drumroll at the beginning gives me life, the perfect intro. What follows though, is a frustrating push and pull. The verses are nice and on point matching perfectly with the dramatic orchesta, but the chorus greatly ruins the song. Although the fabolous drums are still there I do not like the sudden change to flowery singing. Maybe if she was more aggresive during the chorus it would have sounded more cohesive. 3.5/5
Modern Times - Fun and jazzy, it slowly builds up and ends up quite nicely. Really does fit a Charlie Chaplin movie, but it sounds more like a filler than the lead song. 3.5/5
Bad Day - The obligatory slow and melancholic song of every album. Don't usually like these kinds of songs, but this is actually quite nice and it only gets better after the 1:40 mark. 3/5
Obliviate - Starts with the familiar bossa nova sound and if quickly builds up with a stronger orchestra, but I feel like her voice fell short during the stronger parts of the song. 2.5/5
Child, Walk With Me - Another song I was looking forward to. Love the slow bossa nova here. Her voice meshes well with Mr. Ch0i's unlike her song with Ga!n's. 3.5/5
Havana - Not much to say here. I enjoy the sound, but once again, she fails to understand the sound of the song, if that makes any sense. The worst song of the album IMO. 1.5/5
Depression Clock - J0nhyun is barely there and I like that, since he usually likes to belt out those lines. It's a cute and simple song. Feels like the perfect song to listen while waiting for a date. Fanfiction time! 3/5
Daydream - Don't have much of an opinion for this song. Perfect filler. 2.5/5
Wait - Aiyou barely sings here. A short and cool outro with a nice acid jazz sound. 3/5
Voice Mail - An extra track, think it a korean version of one of her Japanese singles, not 100%. Quite acustic-y and Aiyou's voice strangely sound a bit more powerful here than the rest of the album. 3/5
Best songs: Romance of the 2nd, Everyone Has A Secret, Between the Lips (50 cm). Good songs: The Red Shoes, Modern Times, Depression Clock. Ok songs: Bad Day, Child, Walk With Me, Daydream, Voice Mail. Worst songs: Obliviate, Havana, Wait.
All in all, I give it a somewhat dissapointing 3.7/5. The album didn't completely live up to it's hype; it's the first five songs plus the outro that really save the album from sounding completely generic. Sad to say that I won't be buying the physical album like I first intended, but I'll definitely be buying the songs I liked.
If anyone is interested on the translation for Everyone Has A Secret:
Who I wanted If you knew, what kind of face would you make? What I did yesterday If you knew, what would you say?
Don’t say that nothing can stay a secret forever Whether it’s noisy or trivial There might be a terrible stir
Everyone has secrets Don’t tell anymore Let’s pretend nothing happened and you didn’t hear anything Everyone has secrets Don’t tell anyone The truth isn’t important to people
What I dreamed about If you knew, what kind of face would you make? Who I hate If you knew, you might faint
People say that nothing can stay a secret forever But do you really think I don’t have any? A story that no one knows about? Do you really think you know everything? About the person who you’re closest to?
Everyone has secrets Don’t tell anymore Let’s pretend nothing happened and you didn’t hear anything Everyone has secrets Don’t tell anyone The truth isn’t important to people
A person who shines because they have secrets Always making me curious A person who is more mysterious the closer you get Don’t reveal everything about yourself
Everyone has secrets Don’t tell anymore Let’s pretend nothing happened and you didn’t hear anything Everyone has secrets Don’t tell anyone The truth isn’t important to people
[*] Everyone Has a Secret - In short, Ga!n kills it...Aiyou not so much. It's sexy and it needs it's own lesbian themed MV, but it doesn't look too good when the featuring artist outshines the main singer. 4.5/5
which part's G4in and which part's aiyou? cant recognise shit hahahaah. I only know that the first verse is G4in and that high part on the chorus is aiyou
It's still rumors but apparently it's something that can be look forwarded to. If I'm not being trolled, it might come after bbjung's drama. I hope it's real

anyone knows if asians play western games? I wonder though because everytime I see an asian talk about games they always mention asian games I wonder if they play western games like mass effect, call of duty, bioshock or even western rpgs etc

besides starcraft and league of legends, i've come across quite a few koreans while playing counter strike and tf2, and i've seen decent sized korean modding communities for the sims and skyrim.
Between the lips - so fucking seductive 'oh darling~'. so jazzy~ the only thing I don't like about this song is probably the representative lyrics. Feels like this song is some how incomplete, like the ending is cut off or something. It's good but not memorable.
Day dream - I kind of like this song. It sounds different, both of their voice is distinctive, makes the song some how interesting. But it's kind of boring, I want to skip it.
Gloomy Clock - This song is pretty much boring, typical every non-pop korean songs.
The red shoe - I don't particularly have a feel for this song. It's pretty empty.
Everybody have a secret ft G@in - I dig the high pitch fast singing. G@in's voice is sooo sexy. But again it's not particular amazing? I have high expectation...I mean the hype.
Walk With me, girl - wow the instrument at the beginning makes me instantly like this song. I really like her voice in here.
Wait - I seriously wait. Nothing really interesting about the instrument sound...?
Havana - You the instruments remind me of 'gone of with wind'? lol. but once she sings it just doesn't have the feel that I was expecting for at the begining of the songs.
Love Of B - I love the instrument at the beginning.
Is there more?
So, over 50cm stand out the most from the whole album. The album have a pretty similar sounds/style. Kind of boring if you listen it all at once, since no songs really stand out from each other or memorable beside 50cm.

the best song
If only the girls made music like this, then maybe I would buy their stuffs or at least have their songs on my Ipod. I'm so sick of those cute colorful themes, let's just hope their new album will be decent or I'm going to cry
Whenever we had showcases, the only idols who ever came to watch were Yunh0, B0A, Eunyuck, D0nghae, Tiffany, Sunny, 0new and a couple others. I’d say the MOST DOWN TO EARTH idols were most definitely Tiffany, Lun@, Yunh0 and @mber.
The SNSD members barely ever came around, the one I saw most was probably Sunny, she is probably my favorite member after getting to know a little bit of SNSD. They came around and the only ones that ever greeted us were Sunny, Tiffany, Taeyeon and Yoona, the others would walk right pass us. They gave short encouragements, telling us to not give up and they would end it there. From what I saw, what they portray on screen definitely isn’t fake.
