Useful Links to find Kpop, Cpop,Hong Kong News, Japanese fashion and Jrock information.

Its really quite diffcult sometimes to find places to find the videos, you want to watch or up to date information that is translated to a language you can read, right?

YouTube does not have full series of Hong Kong dramas and I find this incredibly irritating, I was lucky to find this link recently:

Http://azndrama.net which not only has Hong Kong dramas but Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese (?), although the Hong Kong dramas, I've watched have no english subtitles.

Otherwise, you can try www.MySoju.com (although, currently the website is under construction so its down (not working)) for Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese dramas/films. It says Hong Kong ones too but I haven't found any at the moment.

For news about Hong Kong celebrity news theres: www.jaynestars.com --> really good, written in good, readable english and has information about a lot of stars.

For Chinese/Taiwanese music updates

There is www.CpopAccess.com although it seems like they stop updating recently. If you know another site, please let me know, otherwise when I find another site, I will update it here.

For Japanese news:

If you like Jpop more then try: www.tokyohive.com although, it covers some information about VK bands but the big established ones.

If you like VK bands or Jrock bands then try: www.shattered-tranquility.net or http://jrockoftheday.livejournal.com (although, they stopped updating this site and move onto a different one, there's a link on their that tells you where they write/update now) I still find it useful as it has lots of profiles on lots of different musicians.

Almost forgot, www.jaMe.com contains a kind of bio thing about Mana, which I'm sure Mana fans will be interested in plus lots of interesting information with other Vk and non-vk musicians in the Japanese music industry.

For Japanese fashion:

Currently, I only use one website which is popular with lots of people: www.tokyofashion.com ---> I enjoy reading their street snaps, a lot of inspiration for dressing a little more flamboyant and a little more different.

For Kpop news

There is a bunch of sites! Because Kpop is spreading~ fast! LOL. I'm cool with it because after all I'm a Kpop fan too. Anyways, here are the sites!

www.soompi.com (they also have a shop filled with kpop merchandise)

www.allkpop.com (this one and soompi are the two big sites, I believe, they have the most and perhaps detailed information)

www.hellokpop.com

Again, I'll update when I find more other sites! I'm sure, there are other sites for Kpop news~

I hope you find this useful, be sure to share me any websites you know for asian news~

Of course, credits to the creators of the websites that are used in this post.

Good Bye.... Prince Happiness :P

Plastic Surgery

Its the 21st century, does it matter if people do plastic surgery, we judge celebrities highly for doing plastic surgery and enhancing their looks and are too quick to criticise them.

A lot of Kpop stars (Korean pop stars) have done plastic surgery, sometimes its something very small such as "double eye-lid surgery". Especially, with Asians (Korean, Japanese, Chinese) we're not all blessed with huge eyes and double eye-lids. Some people have no problem with mono lid eyes which is fine, their eyes shape are none of my business, if someone wants to enhance their features..... why not? As long as their health isn't at risk.

Some netizens post really hateful comments about people not being confident in their looks, its not just about looks, its about the way feels about themselves and its up to them. Although, when someone gets addicted to plastic surgery then it becomes a problem or they want to resemble someone then that's when its a bit of a problem.

BUT when fixing some really small thing so they feel better such as their nose or eye shape, I really couldn't care less. It doesn't affect their personality (at least, I hope not) and I think its their choice. Just make sure, you go to a good doctor and understand the procedure before you do it. Just remember health is more important than vanity!

Please share me your views on plastic surgery in the comment box!

Right now, I've been listening to hide performing his song 'Doubt' live and I can't help but sing in the chorus... "Doubt, Doubt to you" he looks quite fierce in this performance but still cute. Sorry, that has nothing to do with this post  =.=

Super Junior ^_^

So, my favourite band Super Junior, SJ or SUJU... are pretty awesome, the 'Sorry, Sorry' dance is absolute genius, the catchy music of 'Mr. Simple', the overdose of cuteness incoporated into 'Marry U'.

I'm so excited since Super Junior are in preparations for their sixth album, the concept 'Mime' this time, it should be pretty cool. I have their previous albums, whether their repackaged B or C, but I really want Mr.Simple, the first edition...if that make sense, I have repackaged B it came with a huge poster, so I was pretty happy with that.

For the first edition, I think I like the Kim Heechul cover one, it's blue cover if I remember and Heechul wears like a 'cow print' cap and some colourful clothes. I really liked Mr.Simple because of the colourful outfits each member adorned.

^^ okay, well I could fangirl a long time over Super Junior, here some just short and snappy stuff so you don't get bored, firstly none of my classmates/friends like Super Junior, secondly I liked Super Junior for 2 years, I recieved recommendations to listen to them twice before caving in before I had very little interest in music, so it's like Super Junior brought me into music and gave me a home, gave me hope in life and gave me a song that helped to shift my feelings towards too, whether I was angry, sad or happy.

When I'm happy, Super Junior is the music I listened too, their music has a soft feeling which ultimately helps me to smile and laugh and it clears the soul. Also, Super Junior share such a strong chemistry on stage, the way leader Leeteuk takes care of every member like his little brother is so sweet, it's not easy when's there's 13 of them as well.

Super Junior were the ones who made me want to perform, whilst maybe my musicial style wouldn't be exactly the same, it would always be thanks to them.

So here it is a short message for Super Junior:

Dear Super Junior,

Thank You for creating the music, thank you for being so happy, friendly and kind and thank you for picking me up when I fall.

Once a ELF, always an ElF. ELF- Everlasting Friend.

Lots of Love
