SISTAR~~

Sistar(씨스타) _ Alone(나혼자) MV

Hello, it's me again :) Today i am going to tell you all more about sistar. As some of you might not know, sistar is made up of Hyorin, Bora, Soyou and Dasom.  They are managed under the company called "starship entertainment". They first debuted on 3rd june 2010 with the song called "Push push". So far, they have won many awards like Mnet 20's Choice and golden disk awards.

Look how pretty they are. Pretty and talented young ladies, they have produced great songs like "so cool" and "ma boy". They have got great figure too. As you can see from their music videos they are super hot and sexy. My favorite is Hyorin and i thinks that she is very pretty! She has got a killer voice. I love Hyorin in the interest of her magnificently awesome singing. Below is one of their latest song entitled "Loving you" released during June.

Sistar(씨스타) _ Loving U 

Finally, i am magnetize and hook by them after watching their second sistar single music video "Shady Girl". It's a commendable and pleasant song worth listening to. Undeniable, shady girl have been one of my favorite song from sistar. It is a lively and jubilant song that anyone can listen to at anytime, anywhere! Either when you are bored or moody :)  Their music video will definitely captivate your heart.

Very first piano cover by Daphne Khoo; River Flows in You by Yiruma

HELLO! :D
Firstly, just want to say that I'm not a good pianist at all~ :/ :X This piece - River Flows in You by Yiruma, is just one of the piece that I enjoy listening. Well, if you had watched Twilight, you'd know about this piece too :) 
I am a no-grader, this piece is just played by ear ;)



Of course, adding on to the objective of this project which is regarding Web 2.0 tools, 
youtube has been a great platform for allowing people to 'showcase their talents from all over the world'. Perhaps you do not agree.. But look,
You may not be a popular singer/musician/etc.. But eventually people will realize your talents just by viewing your youtube posts if they came along :D Ain't it great? 



P/S: Pardon me for slight messed ups yeah, :x

 Hope you'd enjoy this cover played by me:) THANKS! :D

Who is your favourite KPOP band?! :)

K-POP; also known as Korean pop, is a genre which comprises of hip-hop, dance, R&B, electropop and electronic music which originated from South Korea. It became increasingly popular worldwide recently.

Though I may not be a really die-hard K-POP fan, I still listen to their songs every once in awhile. :)

I find some of their songs very catchy and also very touching!

Some songs would be..

Davichi's Don't Say Goodbye!

FT Island's Severely! 

Even though I may not understand their language, looking at the English subtitles, I feel like some of their songs are very meaningful and touching. It's really amazing how even when you do not understand their language, you could feel their emotions and feelings that they are trying to show or convey just by watching them sing. They have really powerful vocals and I can never get sick of watching them sing! :D :D

Who is your favourite K-POP band?! :D What are some of the K-POP songs which you love???

Joe Hisaishi

Joe Hisaishi is a very popular musical director, composer, conductor and arranger in Japan. He had composed many popular pieces such as One Summer's Day (Spirited Away) , Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke) and Howl's Moving Castle Theme song etc. Joe Hisaishi knows how to play the piano, keyboard and violin. I think he is amazing because he can conduct his band and after that move to the piano and play his parts. So far, he is the only one who did this and it is not easy.

One Summer's Day (from Spirited Away)



The following song is Mononoke Hime. You will be able to see Joe Hisaishi moving to the piano in the middle of the song. At around 6:00, there are piano and violin solos and it is really nice and beautiful.

Mononoke Hime (from Princess Mononoke)




Next song is Howl's Moving Castle Theme Song. This is one of my favorite song and I always enjoy listening to it.

Howl's Moving Castle Theme Song



There are more of his songs on Youtube. So, what do you think of his works?

When you hear the word 'music' what comes to your mind? :)

The different languages, genres of songs and the many singers?

Other than just singing, dancing is another form of art that comprises of movement of body in tuned with the different rhythms of music. It's another form of expression of emotions and feelings. 

Let me share some videos with you! :) 

This is Quest Crew, winners of the Season 3 America's Best Dance Crew!

They are really talented don't you think!  Here are 2 videos from SYTYCD! (So You Think You Can Dance!)

 

Awesome routines don't you think! Hope you enjoyed watching them! Will post more videos soon!  Stay tuned!
