Comparison
...
What, you think it's scary?
Hey guys!
Missed me?
*thick skin
Well, exams have ended for me.
I just pwned my papers. Hah!
And I guess it's time for me to change my blogskin >.<
...
Ok you know what, I think most of the song covers I see on Youtube are B*******. Please refrain from uploading useless cover videos that flood the video traffic, thank you for nothing.
And I suddenly thought of making up a comparison. About a currently hot topic among many of us.
Japanese and Korean craze.
That's right!
Okay, lemme get straight to the point.
A lot of us teenagers are becoming influenced by these J-pop/rock and K-pop 'thing-ies' and I'm not exactly sure why. These influences usually come in the form of friend-to friend recommendations, or by the web.
Now Imma look into two different aspects between these two distinct countries.
First is 'Impressions'.
Second is 'Song types'.
Japanese people tend to want to dress so that they capture the eyes of the public. All those stupid weird dressings or those sophisticated clothings. That's the first and foremost trait you would notice on them. Different clothing styles range from Harajuku, Goth-Lolita, Cross-dress, Formal, Slack and more.
Some songs are traditionally made by real musical instruments, while others are made up of silly computerized sound effects. Most are bands that make their own songs. Some songs are extremely addictive, while some can be comparable to the noise made by a fcuking drill beside your bedroom. Very few Japanese people really do sing nicely. Most rock band singers have wobbly vibrato and short breath. Japanese people become unique musicians once they go major labellings. Japanese bands are more preferred by musicians for their very melodious compositions and exclusive progressions.
The first thing you would take note of Koreans are their looks. I can't deny that most of their plastic faces look really nicely done. These Korean guys have cute girly or manly features that makes girls go ... I don't really know lah. And the Korean girls have these super cute faces that could make pure girls go Lesbo. Their dressings are... you guessed it: the Korean 'in thing' fashion, usually sold in Bugis Street, or many blog shops out there, you name it.
I can't deny that Koreans, most of them, sing much better than Japanese. It's because most were pulled together by talent searchers and stuff. And try to count; less than half of them really do make their own songs, or play any instruments. Majority of their songs are almost, or entirely, computer-generated. Which is a fcuk in my ears if I do really hear them. And because of these stupid fcuk sounds that are non-existent in the real world, their songs become really nice. Singers and consumers tend to hear Korean songs, rather because their vocal style is more preferred and mainstream.

But all in all, hear them both!

It's half past four in the morning now.
Need to go for a photoshoot in town later at 7.
2 and 1/2 more hours.
And I haven't slept.
Oh no.
Well then, the next time I update will be the moment when I have a new blog skin in hand.
Ja na.
Oyasuminasai minna san.
