There's a new version of "Sorry Sorry" called "Sorry Sorry - Answer," which is relatively the same as the R&B remix ver. of "Sorry Sorry" that was released several months ago, except the boys have more parts this time and Eunhyuk and Donghae rap! Eunhyuk totally sounds like a creep during his part, but that's okay. I like... creeps... (not really, but I'll make an exception for him). Kyuhyun has a damn sexy voice though.
There's also a remix of "It's You," but I'm not really feeling it :\ although I do like the beat for some reason.
Ah well... I'll still burn it onto a CD... when I find the time, which will probably be tomorrow when I'm procrastinating about studying for my final for Japanese. 12 fucking chapters of vocabulary I have to study. Shit is ridiculous.
I really like the video though, better than the "dance" version, which is like "WTF is Sungmin wearing" and "Is he going to jump out of an airplane and use those pants as a flotation device?" The fact that it's a continuous shot, where they don't stop and change scenes/clothes/etc is awesome. I'm a big fan of videos like that, but it takes a lot of hard work on everyone's part (not just the performers). This might be one of my favorite Suju music videos :D
I still haven't been able to catch up with the Suju fandom of watching shows, listening to their music nonstop, fangirling online, and basically having my life revolve around them like usual, but maybe during the weekend I can get back into it.
I've recently been watching Gun X Sword, which didn't seem all that great when I first started watching it, but it's been growing on me with it's cliched-ness. Van is cool, but that girl...
Anyway, the story is alright. I'll go in more depth once I actually finish the series. I'm downloading it off IRC which kind of sucks because there's queueing and shit and you can only queue 5 files at a time T__T but I suppose that makes sense since it would be stupid to have one person queue like, fucking, 100 files which are all over 200MB and then have everyone else wait for the bastard to finish downloading. Although channels usually send more than 1 file at a time, but only for unique users (not the same person).
Another series I'm watching is Trigun. Remember when it used to be on Cartoon Network before? I forget if it was on Adult Swim or not, but I decided to watch it just so I can finally finish the damn series and watch it in chronological order. Jumping around episodes doesn't really help me, though the same thing happened when I was watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I still haven't figured out what the hell that anime was about. Were the episodes supposed to be out of order or was it just the version that I downloaded?
Well, Trigun is alright. Vash is kind of weird, but I find I enjoy watching the Japanese-dub rather than the English one because Meril/Meryll(?) is annoying as hell in English, and only slightly less so in Japanese. Same goes for all women in anime, I've discovered.
Oh, and I was also getting into Gankutsuou, but I'm not sure when I'll be finishing that one. The way they overlayed the actual series with these patterns to enhance the imagery of it was kind of cool in the beginning, but somehow I still find it a bit distracting :\ I'll see how much it sucks later though. I want to finish it because I already downloaded it all AND burned it off on DVDs lol.

OH MY GOD. GO WATCH THE PERFORMANCES. THEY'RE OUT. HOLYSHIT. I JUST.... GUH.
I really wish Eunhyuk would cut his hair just a little bit shorter. His bangs cover his eyes. AND I TOTALLY THOUGHT THAT FIRST PART BELONGED TO GENG AND NOT KYUHYUN :(( And oh my god, RYEOWOOK ♥ I knew there was a reason I loved you, if not for your awesome piano skills, now I love you for your sexiness.
AND THANK GOD SOMEONE CUT SHIWON'S HAIR. I was so afraid that he would have that weirdass 50s look the entire time. I'm glad it's cut now because he looks all kinds of sexy. No, wait. THEY ALL LOOK SEXY.
They've looked cute before and hot before, but never sexy. Not even with those hip thrusts from "Don't Don"... that was HOT, but not sexy. And now they're sexy and asldkhasdkajshda OMFG.
THU, THEY PERFORMED YOUR SONG XDD
At least I got to see some more Geng in here than I did in the damn music video.
The music video was kind of a letdown just because I thought some of the members didn't get enough screen time :((
So, here are my thoughts on the album as I go through the songs. Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands to kill. Hence, this entry! Yay, now onto the thinking portion of the entry (otherwise known as the fangirling part :P)
An unhelpful review (by me! :D) of Super Junior's recently released album, "Sorry, Sorry," out March 12, 2009.
1. Sorry, Sorry - Rating: 5/5 - This song is catchy beyond catchy. I listened to it 150+ times in a fucking row. It was all I was repeating for the past 2-3 days and now that the album's out... I'm probably going to repeat it still, but with more songs to add to the playlist now lol.
2. 니가 좋은 이유 (Why I like you) - Rating: 5/5 - The beat is really catchy. I don't know, it kind of has different elements in it, like RnB and then pop. It's like a mix of genres in one song, which is why it's difficult for me to really comment on it. I think it's good, but not my favorite so far (nothing will compare to Sorry, Sorry.... er... sorry?) OKAY. FINE. I LOVE THIS SONG. BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE WHEN THEY PERFORMED IT LIVE I FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM A MILLION TIMES OVER. SO. YEAH.
3. 마주치지 말자 (Let's not…) - Rating: 5/5 - This song will make you smile... in a geeky, fangirl/boy type of way. It's so sweet. The violin/cello that opened up the song is just *__* gorgeous. Kyuhyun, Yesung, and Ryeowook's vocals are amazing. And yes, it's a typical ballad, but you'll fall in love with it anyway. Or at least I did :) This might as well be a Super Junior-K.R.Y song because I don't remember hearing the other members in it. Any of them. It makes me a bit sad, but K.R.Y is my favorite subgroup, besides Super Junior-M, and that's saying something because they have, like, 50 subgroups. (OK. No, they don't, but they will. I'm sure of it.)
4. 앤젤라 (Angela) - Rating: 4/5 - This is pretty much a typical SM song. It's happy song with some Engrish... er... a bunch of Engrish in the beginning. The point is, it's the type of song you'd listen to if you wanted to run through green fields and pick pink and purple flowers and bring them home to your true love in a wicker basket. Which doesn't happen in real life, but this song. OH GOD. No. It puts these gay thoughts into your head (and by "gay" I mean "happy," not "homosexual.") It's really uplifting if you're feeling depressed, I suppose. I was in pain a few minutes ago, but this song makes me feel better. OH. IT'S A ANTI-DEPRESSANT, PAIN MEDICATION. YES. Perfect.
5. RESET - Rating: 4.5/5 - The beginning is kind of weird. I thought it would be another dance song (it totally sets you up for it and then it LIES and brings in these soft vocals from Kyuhyun). It's a nice song though, very tranquil in the beginning and then you get to the chorus, which just heightens the vocals a bit more, but for most of the song they don't really emphasize the beat. More like the melody than anything. AND OH MY GOD. Eunhyuk's rap ♥ FINALLY A SONG WHERE HE RAPS. HOLYCRAP. Now that I listened to this song more, it sounds like one of those slowjams that I listened to in middle school, but this would be, like, the remix version because of the beat in the bg. Good song. It would have been better if Eunhyuk's part was longer, and if they didn't repeat "Press the reset" so many times lol.
6. MONSTER - Rating: 4/5 - This reminds me of SHINee for some reason... and Big Bang (just the chorus part though, lol). I don't even know why. The notes sound off, but it fits somehow. It's not my favorite song and I would probably get tired of it if I listened to it a lot, I might even start feeling nauseous after a while (it happens sometimes to songs I listen to), but I would say it's worth a listen anyway. I think my favorite part is the chorus, because the verses are alright, as I said they sound a bit off (minor scale, maybe?), and the hooks are just... I don't know. I'm giving it a 4/5 solely because I like the chorus lol.
7. WHAT IF - Rating: 5/5 - Yesung's voice opens up the song, it's really sweet. And then Kyuhyun follows after (is this another K.R.Y song? lol) It seems every time there's a ballad, it's only K.R.Y who sings, with the rest of the boys singing bg vocals or something. Oh wait, I lied. Sungmin is in this one after the first chorus :D I really like this song, but I think between the 2 ballads so far, I still like 마주치지 말자 (Let's not…) more, though it's a really, really close call.
8. 이별… 넌 쉽니 (Heartquake) - Rating: 5/5 - IS THAT YOOCHUN'S ENGRISH AND SEXY RAPPING I HEAR? OMG. Yunho's part and Eunhyuk's part follow one another. I think I'm going to die XD I can't tell who's after Eunhyuk though, is that Yunho again? It's someone who can speak Engrish, so I think it's Yoochun lol. IDK. BUT IT'S AWESOME. I like this song, it reminds me of Epik High in a way (and, no, it's not the fact that the bg vocals keep saying "girl, girl" over again like that one Epik High song...) It's a cool song, good beat, nice vocals and raps, and plus IT HAS DBSG ON IT. That should be an automatic 5 for anyone.
9. CLUB No.1 - Rating: 2.5/5 - OK. This song totally reminds me SHINee's "Love Like Oxygen." Just the type of music, though, not the entire song. It really makes me think of SHINee, but I think I like this one better (probably my bias, but whatever). And when they say it features Yeonhee, I'd be surprised if you could even tell it's her because they distort her voice so much with whatever electronic crap they use. She has a good voice normally (not anything professional, but a better voice than a lot of people), from what I remember of her version of "인사," so I kind of wished they didn't block it out like that.
10. HAPPY TOGETHER - Rating: 5/5 - It sounds similar to TVXQ's "Through the forest," although their's is probably better just because they have guitar in the bg. But this song is good, too, and very easy to listen to. Perfect for summer, I think, or maybe just driving around on a warm, sunny day :) Donghae has a really lovely voice in this one, as well as bunch of the other members ♥
11. 죽어있는 것 (Dead at heart) - Rating: 3.5/5 - Okay, they need to stop faking me out. It sounded like some happy, piano song, and then it cuts to a mellow-sounding Kyu and a beat that doesn't sound like it really fits with the mood of the song. But whatever :\ At least it's not just K.R.Y in this song though, I recognized Sungmin and Donghae's voices in the beginning.This isn't one of my favorite songs from the album and probably not one I'll put on repeat, but it's an alright song overall. I've definitely heard worse in my lifetime. Far worse. But compared to the rest of the album this one doesn't fit the bill, though the hook and chorus are awesome, I really don't like the way the verses sound, though it might be the bg music's fault :(
12. SHINING STAR - Rating: 4.5/5 - ENGRISH ABOUND! The beginning is... eh. But after you get passed the really happy-sounding chorus (which repeats later, hence, chorus), it gets better. This is one of the only songs on the album (or maybe it is the only song on the album) in which I don't like the chorus but I like every other aspect of it. And the chorus as a whole isn't the thing I have problem with, it's just that first part with the Engrish. And it's not the pronunciation, it's the melody. I don't like the beginning melody of the chorus :( Eunhyuk's raps are sweet though ♥
Overall Rating: B+/A-
(which may be subject to change as I listen more to the album. Sometimes songs I like end up being ones that I get tired of easily, and the ones I don't like just need a few more listens to for me to be in love with them lol.)
In short, it's a buy for me. Now to decide which version to get... Why does SM insist on making a million versions of the same fucking album? Why.
Oh, and Epik High's coming out with a new album soon, if you didn't get the memo!
Did you see the new pictures of Super Junior? *is slowly recovering from heart attack*
Eunhyuk looks like he just had really hot shower sex. OMFG. *steals him*
AND YESUNG. HOLYSHIT.
P.S. Why is Teuk's pic the only one with someone else's hands in the shot? It's distracting lol.
*It's Raining heavy breathing* (If you don't know what I'm talking about, refer to the video below).
LOL. Their Engrish never fails to entertain me. And Teuk is so cute with his "it's raining" in the beginning XD
I went to sleep at 1 A.M. and woke up at 5:20 A.M. to watch 슈키라 because
I was curious as to what the boys have been up to. Not that I can
understand Korean or anything, but I guess I'm going through some
withdrawals. I was also listening to Tablo's radio at the same time...
though I'm kind of mad that it's never live (or at least I don't think
it is) because it's not viewable. Sighhhh...
And some heavenly person uploaded all of the performance videos from Super Junior's Super Show, thank goodness. The CD+DVD which I was going to buy is out of stock at YesAsia, and apparently everywhere else online, so I wasn't able to buy it :( I know... I'm such a crackhead to be wanting to spend like $50 or whatever it was on it, but I posted the "Under the Shower" or whatever video from it and I was ready to buy it just because of that alone lol.
Anyway, back to the rain... I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before (multiple times, probably) but I really love the rain. I like it loads better than snow and, unless it's like Kansas rain which shouldn't even be called rain because it just pours down in buckets, then I love driving in it too. I kind of want to watch a movie today and waste some money, since rainy days are perfect movie days, but I'd rather take my grandma's Lexus and Peter, the jerk that he is, took it to work. I don't understand why he just doesn't get his car from his girlfriend's house and drive that to work. Ugh. Inconsiderate jerk. There's other people here who need a fucking car too, if you failed to notice. I just don't like leaving my grandma without any car to drive so I'd rather not take the only car we have left =_=;; Peter is such a jerk.
Oh, and he fucking messed with shit in my room, as if the room I'm staying in wasn't messy enough. He buried my fucking clothes under a bunch of bags that I'll have to dig through sometime today. I really just want to hit him in the face. And when he came in my room last night after being out, he didn't even knock, he just waltzed in and I was like, "Don't you even knock?" and he gave me this look like I was the bad guy. LOOK AT MY ROOM DAMMIT. HALF OF MY CLOTHES WERE MISSING AND THE OTHER HALF WAS BURIED UNDER DUSTY BAGS FROM THE CLOSET.
Shit. Trying to look at me like it's my fault. And the funny thing was, he didn't even say anything about all the stuff he moved in the room. My GRANDMA even apologized and he didn't say crap. Of course, if he did say sorry I wouldn't be as pissed as I am right now. And I could never be mad at my grandma for that so... she gets omitted from my people to kill list :)
My other brother, WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY FAVORITE RIGHT NOW, Eric, cooked Bollonese (Bolognese?) pasta last night. I helped, but I only did some stirring. And to cut one side of a bell pepper took me about a minute, so he did the rest of the cutting haha. It was really good though.
Uh... I think that's it. I'm going to go downstairs and help my grandma decorate the tree in a bit. I think I hear her rustling with bags of ornaments right now, but I have to call my cousin first and tell her I'm going to stay home today.
This... This wasn't the reason.
I gotta admit though... you make a really funny girl ㅋㅋㅋ. "Oh, my lips!"
Edit: GMAIL FINALLY HAS THEMES!!!!! YAY.
Title doesn't make sense, but at the same time it kind of does... kind of.
So, I was reading through the Indiana Driver's Manual, which is the basic equivalent to California's, except this one includes more signs and all the other shit regarding driving in snow that you don't really have to deal with in San Diego and I don't remember learning in Driver's Ed. Conclusion: There's about 50 extra pages on shit that I wouldn't need to know if I lived in California which is just great.
I'm going to take the test tomorrow... probably... maybe... it depends if I wake up early enough :P I just started reading the book tonight so if I fail I think they have that 1-week rule that you have to abide by. And the idiot person who I called last month at the DMV about renewing my out-of-state expired license told me I would have to take the drive test, but the driver's manual says that I only have to take it if it's been expired for 1 year... So, if they tell me to take the drive test I'm pretty much going to tell them they can shove it up their asses because I'm not gonna do it. Well, okay. I won't say it in those exact words but it will be pretty fucking close.
And I was reading someone's blog who translates Super Junior's cyworld updates and stuff (stfu. I was bored and procrastinating, and when those two things come together I fangirl). I found out that Kyuhyun can't really park straight, which is hilarious. I can't parallel park, but he can't park normally... haha. I find that amusing somehow.
And then the translator said that the people who commented on this said that they were hoping if he crashes his car that it would be his family's and not his own because they didn't want his car to get smashed. I pretty much went "wtf" at that because it's messed up if you'd rather have him mess up his FAMILY'S car. Like, super messed up. Honestly, and this is just from experience, if people get in an accident in their own car, it makes them drive better... usually.
If I ever become that "fangirly" to the point where my morals become clouded from the idiocy that surrounds me day by day from the other idiot fangirls I fangirl with, feel free to punch me in the face. Really hard.
I'm going to sleep now. I scratched myself last night and put 2 Scooby-Doo bandaids on my finger... One just wasn't enough because it wouldn't stick. I don't know wtf I was dreaming about to make me claw at my own skin but... it happened :\
