Pink Chopsticks

A truly wacky and funny TV commercial from Wacoal, a Japanese underwear brand.  Ballerina’s in heeled shoes? And I just find the moves really hilarious and goes really well with the dancers almost stoic faces. When it comes to lingerie tv commercial, well I’m kinda fed up with those titillating, sexy themed ads, so this is a very refreshing breathe of fresh air. They are dressed in ballet costumes but the moves are hilariously like robots or anime’s!! I just wish I could understand the song, maybe then itll be funnier?

Lol! Watching this is a lot better than thinking about disability insurance, that’s for sure. This is what I love about the Japanese, they are quirky, creative and so much fun! I think this made me just want to scour the web for funny Asian commercials. Hmmm, definitely a nice posting idea. We’ll see about that.

I had been too busy to check out the latest in Asian music scene lately, but this morning I had a bit of time in my hands and has been browsing around. Here’s something I’ve been liking.

YG Entertainment releases a teaser MV for Seungri’s bid to comeback track, What Do You Want Me To Do. This song is part of the Mini-album that Seungri is expected to release on January 20th.

I always thought Seungri was a better dancer than he is a singer. But somehow this MV has something really good. I’m watching out for the full version.

Lol! And ugh, I find him adorable. Hahaha he’s now on the list of younger men I have inappropriate crushes on. Nothing serious but cute guys like him inspire ladies like me to check out stomachweightloss.org. Really, that’s about it.

I love the album cover…

And here’s the full music video for After School’s single Love, Love, Love. It’s actually a cute song =)!

Taeyon and The One’s duet ‘Like a Star’ has officially released its music video featuring actors Yoo Seung Ho and Park Eun Bin. The song reminds of OST’s of melodramas..What do you think?

And I know I’ve now posted a series of MV’s so this will be the last one for the week =)

I find this cute! And to think that I know next to nothing about this group. I like the lively pop vibe to the MV as well as the song..

Enjoy!

Here’s one Korean pop group that doesn’t make me gnash my teeth every time I see them. I actually like them! Or maybe I just dig Lee Hong Ki after watching You’re Beautiful?

FT Island or Five Treasure Island is a five member Korean band. Lee Hong Ki on lead vocals, with Lee Jae Jin, Choi Jung Hun, Choi Min Hwan and Song Seung Hyun completing the rest of the group.

They are popular not just in Korea but also in Japan and here’s their latest MV release for their upcoming Japanese single So Today…,their third major single released under their Japanese label – Warner Music Japan.

Watch the video, I like it. Has that uniquely Japanese vibe and of course features that cool Tokyo skyline. Though I must say some of the boys needs some indoor tanning lotion. Really. What’s with the super pale look?

After all the song plagiarism brouhaha/controversy, I sure am glad that I’m seeing Lee Hyori! Here’s her latest modeling stint for fashion brand TOPGIRL and their Fall/Winter Collection. Verdict: Beautiful as usual – Lee Hyori. Boy, she just has a way with cameras!

And the clothes? Comfortable looking yet very stylish! I wouldn’t mind wearing those during cold months =) Enjoy!

Korean bands/groups are sprouting out just about everytime, and I’m beginning to think of them as mushrooms lol! Anyway, its getting harder and harder to keep track of them, plus the fact that they are beginning to look all alike so it does help if a group has a certain unique appeal to make them more memorable.

Five-member girl group, KARA debuted in 2007 and I think its a pretty impressive feat for a group to have a number one song – ‘Honey’ considering the tough competition they are facing. Since last year too, KARA has been making headway towards venturing in the international market and just recently, they have ventured into the Japanese entertainment market.

Here’s their recently released dance music video of their hit song ‘Mister’ (Japanese Version)..

And here’s the earlier MV of the same song..

I must admit this is the first MV I’ve seen of this group and they are quite memorable. Of course, it helps that the girls are lookers and would look great on apple bottoms, they are also good dancers and decent vocals. I think this girl group will go the distance. Read more on Kara on the wiki page as well as their own website.
