Save the Internet!

This is a rather poor attempt at raising awareness. I’m not one for politics or the sort, and I usually tend to keep my opinions regarding anything politics to myself. However, when the government starts saying things like “internet” and “censorship” in one sentence, it makes life pretty difficult, and thus, makes me not want to keep my mouth shut any longer. For those of you not in the know, here are some current articles regarding the bills that the US government would like to pass, or something along those ridiculous lines:

A Wasted Potential or a Golden Opportunity?

I don’t suppose you guys would mind lending me your ears after a somewhat lengthy absence, would you? I promise it’ll be a fun read!  

Jin Akanishi Releases “Test Drive” MV

While I for one was never much of a Johnny’s enthusiast, I have to admit that former KAT-TUN member Jin Akanishi‘s recent attempts at an American music scene breakthrough have caught my eye.

 

Wonder Girls reveal “Be My Baby” MV

And what a comeback indeed! From the hard image and sexy rock sounds that came with their teasers to the Single Ladies-esque MV just released, the Wonder Girls seem to be armed and ready to take on the kpop scene once again!

Artist Plug: Yen-J

I know it’s been a painfully long while since I’ve come here and written anything. Pardon life; it gets a bit crazy. So for October’s artist plug, we’re featuring the first Taiwanese artist ever (on this blog) – Yen-J!

H!P All Stars Revamped?

I honestly tried to get this in before all the fan wars and whatnot erupted online, but life just wouldn’t let it happen. And to be completely fair, trying to get a word in before the epic shit show of words amongst fans is a futile effort. So here I go with my personal stab at trolling over Hello! Project’s Mobekimasu!

Kara’s “Winter Magic” Full PV Released!

Morning Musume ’12 Smart’ Album Review

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so pardon my novice review. This time around, I’ll be taking on Morning Musume‘s 12th official album release, 12 Smart!

The End of an Era: Takahashi Ai’s Graduation Concert and the Future of Hello! Project UNCENSORED *updated with televised news coverage*

“Pinch me, I’m dreaming. This must be a dream. A bad dream. It just has to be.”

Remember how we were all thinking that earlier this year when Takahashi Ai‘s graduation announcement first reared its ugly head upon us? Remember how we were all screaming about conspiracy theories left and right, and pointing blaming fingers at everyone else but the very person that even asked for that damn graduation to freedom in the first place? Remember all the anxiety and excitement that came with the 9th and 10th generation auditions and announcements? Does anyone else recall the egregious amounts of commentary and pure elation that spurred with the releases of “Maji Desu Ka Ska,” “Only you,” and the recent double A-side that rocked YouTube and the internet seemingly overnight? And man, has the year flown by. It’s already October and to think, just a few hours ago, Takahashi Ai was still very much the leader of one of the most monumental groups in music history Morning Musume, as well as the head leader of the idol army sensation of Hello! Project, the powerhouse that made all the magic happen. To think, that was just a few minutes ago. Now, here we are in October and just what are we left with?

The most beautiful memories any fan could ask for.

WARNING: Brace yourselves for an emotionally-driven, long-winded commentary. I mean it. Get some popcorn.
