ONE SHOT for your DREAM GIRL

I swear I will stop trying to be funny one day.

Well, this month has been eventful (sort of). After my first two day hike we had Carnival (which went as usual- I stayed home for five days and nothing pleased me more than the fact I didn't have to see anyone at school for almost an entire week), and then we had Valentine's Day (I got chocolates from my dad...that's it). But then B.A.P released their highly anticipated album and seven minute music video! I have to say I was very impressed!! Is B.A.P still considered a rookie group? Either way this music video was amazing! Hell, the entire album was!

Punch - This song matched its name, as while listening to it I felt very ready to fight someone. Except I would get beaten up horribly, so I won't be doing that any time soon. At times I thought it sounded like a training song they would use in Mulan or something. As much as I love B.A.P's Stop It, songs like this and Warrior are so powerful you just have to love it. You see a lot of new groups going for a cute image, but I really appreciate B.A.P's strong vocals and dances they've been giving us lately.

One Shot - Another powerful song, and the title track of this mini album. I have said this before, but I'm saying it again - B.A.P ON A BOAT WAS JUST ABOUT THE BEST THING. LIKE WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT I KNEW THE MV WOULD BE GREAT. THEY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH A BOAT. The music video has a story line, which I loved. But I liked the first ending (where everybody dies) way more than the second one, but that's just my opinion (that backstabbing little shit should've gotten shot multiple times >_> they freaking stole money to save your lying ass <_<). At first I was a little skeptical about a 7 minute kpop video, but B.A.P did not disappoint!

Watch it here-



Rain Sound - I know some people didn't really care for this song, but I actually really liked it. I'm not a fan of slower songs (and I did not care for this music video at all really) but the song itself was really pretty. Kind of sad, but really pretty. It sure as hell isn't a Stop It or a One Shot but B.A.P still did a really good job with it. They are quite a flexible group, music wise, and I really admire the fact that they try new things. I hope to see more of this in the future, B.A.P.

Coma - I LOVE THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OF THIS SONG. Actually I love the entire song, BUT THE FIRST FEW SECONDS OH MY GOD. I think this is my favourite song off the album. The chorus isn't anything spectacular, but the verses really hold my interest. Plus the rapping parts! The random female line though.....what? I don't understand, B.A.P, why is she only singing one line? What was the point of that? I am so confused....

0 (ZERO) - I think this song is right up there with Coma for me. This one was definitely the most catchy out of all, which is something I greatly value in songs. Actually this is my absolute favourite song off the album. I really don't have much to say about it though....

Overall - 5/5 stars... I was really impressed!

Before I move on, I hope Himchan's hand gets better as quickly as possible. I hope he (or any of them) haven't been straining themselves with this dance. As awesome as it is, he shouldn't rush back into it right after an injury.

Speaking of dances, VIXX's On and On live version...AMAZING. THE DANCING IS SPOT ON, THE CONTACTS ARE SUPER SEXY, AND THEIR STAGE PRESENCE IS SOMETHING I'M JEALOUS OF. PLUS PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I especially like this dance because in dance class a few years ago I had to do that same zombie move. x) That is all.



And now, on to what I really came here to talk about, my dream boys, SHINee!!!

A few days ago they released the first part of their Dream Girl saga- Dream Girl- Misconceptions Of You. The second chapter, (Dream Girl- Misconceptions Of Me) will be released in April. AND they are releasing a Japanese single (entitled Fire) in March. HAPPY 2013, SHAWOLS!

Spoiler - This Sherlock intro will get me confused. But I'm not complaining. This song is very cool considering it really is a spoiler for the second album, as the track titles are revealed through the lyrics. How cool. The chorus sounds so freaking awesome! Their voices, the music, everything just fits! The preview in the highlight medley did not do this song justice! I did not expect to love it as much as I do! I hope they perform it live some day soon. AND CAN I JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE HOW MUCH TAEMIN AND MINHO ARE SINGING THESE DAYS. ESPECIALLY TAEMIN. YOU DESERVE IT, DON'T LET ANYONE TELL ANY OF YOU OTHERWISE.

Dream Girl - I don't know what "acid electro funk" is, but I think I like it. The music video is super cool, and kind of makes sense with the song! THANK YOU, SM! Oh, and special mention to Taemin's PENCIL PANTS. I need to do a nail design based on those. Over Easter I think I will! The dance is one of my favourites... It's not the same as any of their other dances as they have never really used a prop like this before, but they are doing an outstanding job! During the live version they are still working that microphone stand! AND ONEW DIDN'T DROP IT DURING HIS TWIRL, BLESS HIM. IN FACT BLESS ALL OF THEM BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE DROPPED IT AFTER EVERY MOVE. It's not the same as Lucifer or Sherlock, but it is one of my favourite dances from them. AND SHINEE AND THAT PONY FOR THE PHOTO SHOOT. MINHO IS A PONY WHISPERER. THAT WAS TOO PRECIOUS. My favourite part of the song would probably be Minho's little "yes~", I just smile every time I hear it.



Hitchhiking - This song sounds very SHINee? I don't know what to say... I really like it, and I have no complaints.... The verses are my favourite parts.... The chorus sounds very SHINee, not that I'm complaining. Seriously, I really don't have much to say here. And yes, SHINee, I do "like it like that". ;)

Punch Drunk Love - Not my favourite song. It sounds very 80s? I wasn't born in that time, and I haven't heard a lot of 80s music, so this I'm getting from other people's opinions. It's not a bad song, but it isn't my favourite. The vocals are amazing as always though. Not much else to say....

Girls Girls Girls - Another song that isn't really my favourite. It's very cute though. And I'm happy because I have a song called Boys Boys Boys on my iPod, so now I have this to match it. They are completely different, though. But I saw this post on tumblr saying how they wanted an mv for this song of the rest of SHINee showing Taemin how to get a girl. (not that he needs help, he just needs to walk out of his room and they will come running, believe me) Anyways, now I can't stop thinking about how cute that would be, and I'm dying to see it!! My favourite part of this song is Minho's rap... It just sound so bubblegum rainbow in-love vision, if you understand that.

Aside - From the time I heard the snippet from SHINee's Wonderful Day, I knew I would love this song. It reminded me of TTBY and Reply 1997 all mixed up into one! Very OST-esque. I LOVE IT. It makes me feel so happy, and it is so cute! As much as I like SHINee's grown up image, their cute songs will always have a special place in my heart (and ipod!). Speaking of kdramas, I started School 2013, but I can't focus on it properly. I think I'll watch Boys Over Flowers instead.

Beautiful - Some people said this sounds like Dream Girl, but I don't hear it? They performed this one live (although if I had a say I would have chosen a different song, but that's okay). The dance was standard SHINee cute stuff, perfect for this song. I like Minho's rap here too... basically this is just a really great time for Minho's raps....keep them up!

Dynamite - From the highlight medley I had a good feeling about this song. It is very powerful compared to the others! (honestly I thought Fire would sound more like this song, but whatever, it's still great). I want to see this one live too! It makes me feel to dance. Can I bring up Taemin singing a lot these days again? Because you don't know how much I appreciate this.

Runaway - FINALLY MY FAVOURITE SONG OFF THE ALBUM. The chorus is just too cute!! "Hey love let's run away~" was stuck in my head ALL DAY. Oh if only I could really run away with them, but I guess that's only in my dreams. No wonder this is on the Dream Girl album >_> But I can still hope? I wanted them to perform this live so badly BUT THEY DIDN'T. T^T WHY, SHINEE, WHY???? Hearing you sing this live would be the death of me though! They saved the best for last here, obviously.

Can I please ask them how they remember a complete dance from 2008? I barely remember dances I learnt in 2011... :|

Overall - FUCKING SHINEE'S BACK/YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH I WANT TO CRY

So, until Fire release...and then April ^_^ (and who knows they'll probably have another Japanese release so HERE'S TO BEING A SHAWOL WHERE 2013 IS BASICALLY CHRISTMAS EVERY MONTH EXCEPT BETTER BECAUSE SHINEE > SANTA CLAUS [no offence!])

SHINEE'S BACK AND THEY'RE IN THE HOUSE, YOU GUYS.
