Of boybands and Youtube.

I dont think I can ever snap out of swooning over boybands.
Its so embarrassing.

I found out recently that Fahrenheit (飞轮海), F4 and Zaizai 仔仔has released new albums. And as much as I know that they dont sound as good as Jacky Cheung, I still like them. I feel guilty for being so ditzy. But once in a while, I guess I'll let myself prance around looking silly.


FAHRENHEIT 飞轮海

I think Fahrenheit sings feel-good songs :) that really makes me happy:
Yet another collaboration with SHE- http://youtube.com/watch?v=fA02oTwU1Uw
And here's a Behind the Scenes for one of the MVs- http://youtube.com/watch?v=vlmtBFn6Ukc&feature=related --> this song has a line which Jiro starts rapping M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E, and for a moment, I almost couldnt stand the cheesy-ness of it all.

This clip reminds me of my taiwan exchange programme, when I bought a pack of drink cos it has winter sonata on it (and it still have it up till today, although I cleaned it up and used it as a pencil holder) and a can of pepsi cos it as F4 (My dad drank it and left me in tears) on it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rwGlCdcv8BQ&feature=related
It makes me want to go taiwan to get it!


F4

F4 has a new album too after such a long hiatus, and I see that they havent changed their style much.
This is the main song that they have been promoting: http://youtube.com/watch?v=3Ct7fI6-Jo4&feature=related
But I personally prefer this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Sg2XDUyFfGc&feature=related

The album is nothing very exciting, but its exciting enough that F4 finally released an album, I almost thought that they would join the statistics of disbanded boybands.
Speaking of the members of F4, I think zaizai looks better now with his chopped locks, more clean cut and more ... masculine ;)
And unlike prisc, I like vanness' new looks too. (She reckons that he looks like an ahbeng. I beg to differ. He reminds me of the old KangTa -a beefier version of course- with his new look. And its always a compliment to be compared to KangTa.)
Ken Chu put on weight I think, and prisc was saying that the news reported that he put on 17kg? Oh my, I hope it doesnt ever happen to me :(
Jerry Yan doesnt seemed to have changed the least bit though I think that the MVs seem to have shifted the focus from him to zaizai and vanness.


ZAIZAI

And Zaizai has a new album:
I am not F4-http://youtube.com/watch?v=tMCFYEEZXas
I quite like it, in fact more than F4's album :) But not as much as Fahrenheit's.
But that doesnt make me like F4 as a band any less.
And thats the problem with me, I never stop forgetting that I once liked something or someone. It accummulates. I wonder if there is something wrong with me. I feel like a garang guni man.


And of course, no one ever beats SHINHWA who has been going strong even after 9years :)


Oh yes, one last clip that is making me nostalgic:

And of course the last episode (which used shinhwa's songs):

Despite the fact that I never really went on to like 5566, but its one of my favourite idol dramas. Maybe cos it is one of the rare few well-done basketball ones. And in this particular episode, there is a small mention of Kaede Rukawa (: who is undoubtedly my all time favourite character. I miss having the chance to watch people play bball live- to watch them execute those moves so gracefully and to cheer for the team. I wonder if there is any bball leagues in UK? Or actually i dont even mind watching my school team play, I just dont know how to go about doing so. I feel completely estranged from everyone.
I'm living in my own world and I know it. I feel bad and I want to change it. But everytime i try to venture out, it makes me scared and lost, and I retreat back again and find myself a lot happier and more comfortable.


Thank God for old friends (:
