Paint and Belts

SHINee has always had slightly confusing teaser photos.

I even posted about it before - once in 2012 for Sherlock and again in 2013 for Dream Girl. I’m sure their teasers for every release since then have been as equally weird, but I didn’t post about them.

SHINee are currently gearing up for their comeback, which coincides with their 10th anniversary. A few teasers have already been released, and I already talked about that a little bit in my post complaining about Onew’s hair. SHINee’s fashion choices have also always been a little out there, although I think Key is in charge of that.

Anyway, back to the reason for this post.





These boys crack me up.

SHINee announced their comeback today.

They released a video of the four members, and while Minho and Taemin were looking their normal, idoly selves, Onew and Key were sporting new hair cuts and colours which I hope will make sense during their promotions.

Key is fairly active on social media, so I was already familiar with his hair style change, started by a rather startling video of him shaving it all off (leading to the fear that they were all going to enter the military). I’d seen a photo of Onew at a concert where he was covered up head to toe, suggesting that he’d done something drastic. To be honest, they look quite similar - I know Key shaved his own head, and it looks like Onew cut his own hair.

I liked Onew with red hair when he’s had it in the past, I think it’s just the style that looks a little odd, and to be honest, it just makes me worry about him more.

Hairstyles aside, it was mostly just lovely to see them all smiling so confidently and naturally.

I was just looking for a photo of the clip to put on this post (why is it so difficult to add photos to blogger these days) when I discovered that SHINee released a new Music Video a couple of weeks ago and it totally slipped under my radar. Mostly, this is because it’s Japanese, and SHINee are represented by a different agency for their promotions there, so I’ve always missed their Japanese stuff.

What’s important here though is that Jonghyun recorded this song.

This post is much the same as posts from a year ago

I was saving today's post to be my review on City Hunter, but I haven't finished watching it yet, so I can't post about it. Probably tomorrow, I only have the final episode to watch, and I could have managed it today if I hadn't been getting so sucked into manga lately.

I go through phases. Before a couple of days ago, I hadn't read manga properly for months, having only caught up with the odd chapter here and there as they were released, but not any more than that. I had even given up mid chapter on the last new one. Drama kind of took over, so I was spending my time watching rather than reading. But then, all of a sudden, I wanted to read again. So I got caught up on the manga I had let slip, namely Watashi Ni xx Shinasai, started a new one called Love Berrish, and started re-reading Love Celeb. Yeah, I know, sometimes the titles sound really lame, but I swear, the actual thing is no where near as embarrassing as the names. You just have to hope they sounded more impressive untranslated.

I'm surprisingly sleepy. It may be because I didn't really do anything all day other than read manga, watch drama or watch SHINee's Sherlock MV. Or it could be that I woke up early (8 is early for me), and started playing DrawSomething with my mates mum.  I suppose it could be that I did 10 mins of hula hooping this evening rather than 5 because I was too lazy to do any last night. However, despite the above reasons all being perfectly feasible, it may just be because it is apparently 2.30am.
