Message

I like Asian pop music. No surprise there to anyone who has ever read one of my posts before.

Mostly, I listen to Kpop, or the music made predominately by Korean bands. Sometimes, in fact more often than not it would seem, Kpop bands will release their songs in other languages. Normally Japanese, but sometimes Chinese or even English.

This is all very well and good until you realise that a good proportion of your music is just the same song in various different languages.

I have 'Perfection' by SJM in Chinese, Korean and Japanese. SNSD's 'The Boys' in Korean, Japanese and English, and pretty much every other title or promoted song in at least two different languages.

Again, all very well, until you know there is a new language version of a song that you can't get your hands on. Like the Japanese versions of many of SHINee's songs. Sigh.

What brought this about? Myname have just released the Japanese version of 'Message'. I don't like the MV so much as the original, especially the styling of the members, but I still adore the song.

In other news, Laptop is doing that weird 'I-don't-want-to-move-my-mouse' thing again, and I am having Firefly withdrawal.

Realisation of the day: Beading gives you too much time to think. I either get emotional or talk to myself ... more than normal, I mean. Like conversations.
