Shinhwa Changjo!

Hey peeps~ I'm back~ keke^^ yes yes happy post... it hasn't been that long since i last posted but what's up with this new blogger layout thingy? kinda weird with the all white theme going on... Ok so anw, i guess most of you guys should already know, i'm having my year break now!!! HOORAY!!! the long awaited 3 month break!!!

There is so many things that i've lined up to do yet i feel that there's really little time... yea i know, like wth am i talking bout right? it's friggin 3 months... well let's just say that in the past month or so... which is when my holiday started... more than half of it was spent outdoors... which means i haven't really had the chance to coop myself up at home for days :p on contrary to many of your beliefs, i enjoy just rotting at home, finding trivia stuff to do... and the strange thingy is that i haven't sent out text to my friends that im having my hols now and that if they wanna meet up with me just drop me a text... which i always do right when my break begins... i wonder how some of my friends knew without me tellin them... hmm... but anw, i'll send the text out soon ^^ i miss all of them anw ^^ 

oh! and i haven't gone to m'sia yet!!! unbelievable... but well, been told that it's kinda messy over there right now... so yupx, i'll be there soon soon soon! i need to go see my sinseh cos my leg has been acting up again -_- what's new... and then i'll be back dancing and training with you guys :p as well as to earn a lil here and there too :p 

so anw lately, i'm trying to get myself updated on the music that i've missed ever since school started... im still going through various albums... listening to all songs... it's a long and tedious process but i enjoy doing that :p reminds me of how i spend my time when i was younger... just sitting in front of the boombox, blasting music, listening and printing lyrics to songs that i like and just plain singing out loud... pretty ridiculous for a kid but hey! don't judge, i wasn't allowed to go down and play at the playgrounds or void decks like other kids cos i was too weak in health... so anw back to topic... there's so many songs that i've been hooked on recently...

Among all the recent news in the entertainment industry, the most anticipated and exciting one for me would have to be SHINHWA'S COMEBACK!!!! *omg omg! fangirl moment* firstly, i'll like this to be put across first before everything... i do not appreciate ppl comparing shinhwa to dbsk... im a fan of both outstanding korean boy bands... and i can safely say that im a bigger dbsk fan as well, they're more in my era as compared to shinhwa... so as to why i say i do not appreciate ppl comparing them is that there's alot "fans" who comments on shinhwa's news saying that it's nice to see them reuniting and that they also hope that dbsk would, just like shinhwa, reunite... -_- firstly, shinhwa did not disband in the first place, so why would a reunite be needed? secondly, yes shinhwa and jyj both left sm... but shinhwa left after their contract was up but jyj left the group and the company due to other reasons (which i would not explain here or else the post will take forever) and are pursuing their dreams on their own under C-Jes entertainment and i think warner music too... whereas shinhwa is under their own company... so i wanna re-emphasize that shinhwa aint reuniting but instead are making a Comeback! with that out of the way now comes the interesting stuff...

the first song is one from 2002! Perfect Man, the first shinhwa song i've heard... it's funny how i didn't hear it from them and instead through a taiwan idol drama named My MVP Valentine... it was the ost then... been hooked ever since, and then went looking up on them from then on... revisited this song lately alongside their comeback... brings back loads of memories! i love how it's a habit of mine to shout "shinhwa changjo!" somewhr near the beginning whenever i hear this song :p good old Kpop and dance... and i'm proud to be able to say i can sing and dance along to the whole song when i was younger... use to know the choreo for almost the entire song... but i think i can only remember the chorus now? lolx well it can't be helped! it's been a decade!!! i shall post different live versions of this songs... all having different stuff that i would like to point out ^^



this probably dates back to 2002... original choreo with the fake standing mic and all :p though the quality is bleh in this video... this is one of my favs as the entire energy level is super hyped up! the moves are simple yet strong! fav part's junjin at 2:10 HAHAHA! ahh~ how i miss those days of the dorky supposed "hip hop hand gestures" throughout the song! keke ^^


performance in korea then were usually all lipsync until round 2006-2007? korea usually focus more on dance, on the other hand, japan focus on the vocals... Thus! the next video! skip to 1:41





live vocals without compromising dance! equally hyped up...  love that minwoo has the most parts and screen time in this song! HAHAHA! and he sings the bridge as well! kudos to hyesung with his kick at his part along with live vocals... and indeed the original of beastly idols, the original of stripping on stage... look at junjin at 4:08 :p *poof* jacket gone... BLACK TANK!!! HAHAHA! and also note the kick at 4:21...





proof as to how charismatic shinhwa is... it just takes one member from shinhwa to outshine the rest :p this was recent and shinhwa was present, yet all it takes is just one to transform their juniors into backup dancers :p sad that the audience didn't know who he was until he took of his shades... those peeps are seriously insane for not recognizing minwoo... i was literally screaming at my comp screen! lousy audience!


 




this is the most recent performance but without hyesung as he's injured :( and it's the short version... not as hyped as before... duh... but junjin disappoints :( after the bridge, what kinda kick was that?!? haixx... well at least they sing well :p dongwan's ad-lib at the beginning!!!  and minwoo's always jjang!!! HAHA!!! too obvious? :p


last vid for this song... i know it's alot... but it's my fav from them, let me bask in it! HAHA! recent acoustic version!!!





so in love with this version! minwoo sounds perfect, looks perfect, IS PERFECT! HAHAHA even though he's my fav... i gotta say that of all parts to the song i personally like the 2nd verse which is junjin's part... and i feel that he sung well in this version ^^ just that he should totally quit smoking la... it's changing his voice... he used to sound clearer... anw totally ripped the mp3 of this and edited it :p on repeat on my ipod ^^


Next up, Shinhwa's comeback song Venus



Shinhwa's goodbye stage for their comeback... not a big fan of this song... it doesnt show their vocals well, and well it's not as energetic and hyped up as before... i can't really say what can i expect from them who are not of "idol age" cos seriously if i think bout let's say luo zhi xiang... he's around the same age but still dances well, with strength and all... so yup just disappointed i guess... the interesting point has to be that even though the genre is similar to the addictive repetitive style that has been the in thing in recent years... the choreo for all 3 chorus are diff!!! *clap clap* fav one has got to be the 2nd chorus... i've already memorized it!!! HAHAHA~ even though they're comeback's title song was a miss for me, im just happy they're back... brings back good ol' times :p


Shinhwa- Hurts



this ballad title's my favorite song from their latest album! i shall let on a little secret into what i occasionally do to enhance listening to such music... especially since i listen to music when i sleep... i would mix rainy mood with my tracks... rainy mood goes well with this song... i swear! it softens the entire song ^^ i haven't mixed it myself yet... i just listen to both at the same time on my comp and then have it plugged to my player to amplify... maybe i should... so anw when i first saw the intro and then the stage setting of this vid... in my mind i was thinking... shinhwa + chairs =  wild eyes :p only fans will know what im toking about... any song with minwoo opening would be a great song :p HAHA! anw this song is a Frankie J original which im totally addicted to too... shinhwa's ver were rewritten and vocally directed by eric... The rap style is said to feature a new style attempted by eric to showcase a new side to shinhwa.. but i seriously feel that he sounded like T.O.P from bigbang when i first heard his rap... oops... oh well :p


Frankie J- Looking Back

i love frankie j's voice and well maybe cos it's in english... it's easier to relate i guess... Honestly this is the only video with the full audio on youtube.. like seriously what's up with this maplestory background -_- anw! i can't find the full mp3 of this song without the random audio watermark in it... if anyone of you out there finds one please do tell me bout it!!!


ok last song on shinhwa's comeback, if not this post won't end... lolx... anw i also went back to listening their solo songs... gotta say my fav has always been quite the unexpected... cos it aint minwoo's song but junjin's instead... and instead of his fast paced songs, it turns out to be his first solo song which is a ballad :p





damn those who say he can't sing :p a video consisting of all his live perfs... so yupx that's all for now... damn tired, this post is super lengthy... meds kickin in... yes yes im sick... what's new... so yupx off to bed...


xoxo
