Haru

It's been very close to a month, but I still get caught unaware and find myself with tears in my eyes.

I was just watching the last episode of Degree of Love, and one of their songs came on. It wasn't even a particularly well known one, but I recognised those vocals straight away. The scene was supposed to be funny, but still, there were tears.

Sometimes, I'm watching funny clips of them and smiling, but still, somehow, there are tears.

My instagram feed was full of clips, photos, messages. Constant reminders. Slowly things have moved on and now it's only the odd post, but that almost makes it worse. Unprepared and my heart stops, randomly finding that there are tears.

I think I'm more upset about the boys. I can watch his solo music videos and feel sad and sorry, but it's the five of them together that really gets me. It was a hard year for them, with the scandal and the backlash that kept them from performing together, even the continued controversy just days before, and now the thought that the group will never be whole again is heartbreaking. Especially when they were the only SM original line up. I'm fairly certain they would have been celebrating 10 years this year.

I'm glad they've announced that they will go on, I just hope the boys look after themselves and each other.

Jonghyun

I never thought I would cry about the death of a celebrity.


But today, I've shed a lot of tears for you, Kim Jonghyun.

Why so Serious

SHINee released a new music video. Its the title song from the Dream Girl repackage.

Now you guys know I adore SHINee. But ... I'm not sure how I feel about this song.

First thing to note ... there are 5 members of SHINee. Onew as leader, Jonghyun is lead vocals, Key is generally a bit of everything, rapper Minho and Taemin the dancer. You may notice someone is missing.

Jonghyun was in a car accident in the beginning of the month, because he is korean and koreans seem to have a lot of car accidents. So, they filmed this video and I expect plan to promote this song without him while he recovers. I get it, he needs to get better, but still, it felt weird without him, even if he is my least favourite member. Not that Taemin didn't do an excellent job filling in for him. That boy is growing up so fast.

Secondly, to me, on first listen, its not a particularly easily sing-a-long-able song. It doesn't have that hook you can keep repeating to yourself, and the rest of the track just seems a little mismatched.I try singing the chorus and it always turns into Sherlock.

I haven't listened to the rest of the repackage yet, and don't get me wrong, I still love the song, I just have a feeling it will be easily forgettable in comparison to their other tracks.
