To get into the Christmas-y spirit, I put together a bunch of my favourite Christmas K-Pop songs for you guys to enjoy~
1. Santa U Are The One by SM Town~
This is so festive and fun, it just had to be the number one. Not just that, but it also has a great family feel thanks to all of those well-known artists coming together~
2 . This Christmas by JYP Nation~
Again, another festive, family-feel song that is so happy in time for the season~
3. Dashing through the Snow in High Heels by NU'EST and Orange Caramel~
Here is a pretty new entry to the Christmas tunes, and I must say it's really good ^-^ With a classic tune and K-Pop rolled into one, it's a fantastic twist to Christmas festivities.
4. Winter Story by Eyagi Entertainment~
This is a sweet tune with artists I don't know as well, but it ison the same level as all of the other Christmas songs I've mentioned, being nostalgic and pleasant~ 5. Distance by BoA
And finally, this song. Although not as happy as the ones before, it still has a lovely winter atmosphere about it. It also fits in with other Korean Christmas songs, them being more about love or loss of love rather than family~ So this is my top 5 festive songs for K-Pop fans~ To watch the rest of the playlist from my YouTube channel, see here:

I'm Your Man - Released 17th August 2011
Everyone who knows about anime will probably know about the top selling Japanese anime artist Nana Mizuki, and she has recently released a new PV to add to her collection - Lovely Fruit!
This fun video I discovered when flicking through news posts on Crunchyroll, and being undoubtably the most popular Japanese artist today, I just had to take a look. I found the video to be quite confusing at times - but still fun and really cute. The song is to be included on her upcoming album 'Rockbound Neibours' which is scheduled to be released on December 12th.

Not yet found~ Please comment if you know where there are, or email me a translation~
To be honest, I think this music video to be bonkers. Because her voice is really deep and mysterious, yet is singing such a happy and amusing song. I love the clothes though~ very sweet and perfectly lolita <3
But what does everyone else think of her new video? Feel free to comment~
This is the most recently released album by BoA, and contains one of my favourite songs sung by her, Only One, which is also the main song on the album. It's upbeat, but still has a full amount of sweetness - probable the best album for lovers of upbeat songs who wish for a bit of a change. In this album, there is collaborations with SHINee and Super Junior members, so those who are more fond of other artists may find this album interesting too.

Pantans is one of my favourite ever Vocaloid song composers. They consist of Pantan-C and Pantan-D, a duo teamed up to create Vocaloid music. They create really good Vocaloid group songs, and have even 'put together' a Vocaloid boy group, 'Gensou Airly'.
Pantans' Logo
So why do I like Pantans so much? Probably because of their happy, lovable songs that are mainly aimed at fan girls; their songs singing mainly about love.
Most of their songs are using their made up boy group 'Gensou Airly', and this consists of the 4 Vocaloids KAITO, Kagamine Len, Kamui Gakupo andHiyama Kiyoteru. My official favourite used is KAITO, as he is presented as sweet and lovely in every video. Girls who like the 'bad boy' are more likely to go for Gakupo, the mischievous 'shota' lovers Len, and the smart, 'Gentlemanly' lovers may tend to go for Kiyoteru. But either way, Pantan makes every character loveable with their own presented features.
A lot of their songs seem to retain the same genre, but there are still different 'types' of song. For example, 'Indomitable Power!!' is more of a 'bad ass' song - for people who like more action, where as 'Have You All To Myself, Summer Girl!' is more sweet, for those who like songs of love. I still find, however, that all their songs are catchy, and a great bunch to add to any collection (although some guys may find them sickening...) Here is my full list of Pantan songs. Although there is not many, I hope it to increase in future, since I love these guys so much!
Released On: 13th February 2010
MP3: 4Shared
This is a really cute song containing all of the most popular Vocaloid females, and is a prequel to 'Your Highness, My Princess'. It is basicly a battle against time to give chocolate to the boys on Valentine day. I like this song as it's quite upbeat, although it lacks a PV which most Pantans songs also present.
Released On: 1st April 2010 (White Day 2010)
MP3: 4Shared
My favourite song <3 <3 <3! It's so sweet and innocent, and makes you wish there were more guys like this in the world... the PV to this is also amazing. Although simple, you just melt over those pictures... The song is a sequel to 'Battle Royal Valentine', and is a reply to the girls. It has the same base rhythm as the prequel, but is slower and more romantic.
Released On: 31st May 2010
MP3: 4Shared
This song is one of my best friends favourites, as it's more 'Bad Ass' and funky than previous released songs by Pantans. This song is about them overcoming their difficulties in their various lifestyles, and how they aren't going to be pushed around by others. However, they still remain a romantic side to the song, saying as long as they have 'you' they can overcome these difficulties they face.
Released On: 29th October 2010
MP3: 4Shared
Another loveable song by the boys, this time being soothing and peaceful. I didn't know about this song until quite later on compared to their other songs, but it's still nice if you want something calming. I do think the pictures could be better, as they can't really compare to the contents of other PVs. It goes on about the boys not having the courage to go and see their secret crush over the summer, and although you can get jealous of the girl they represent as their crush (lol), it's still reminiscent on past experiences that everyone's had in their life.
Released On: 18th March 2011 MP3: 4Shared Another song by the boys. This theme is a lot more similar to indomitable powers than their others, and is very hard to type! Lol...
Released On: 2nd August 2011
MP3: 4Shared Another one of their best songs, It's another summer romance song, about a tropical island get-away. I love KAITO's picture in this, although Len's seems a little frumpy.
Well, the first task would be to find a decent video editing software, but which one do you use?
I've been looking around lately, trying out the so called 'best' programs to use, and I have compiled a list for you guys to see which is the best to use.
After all, there is only advice on editing the videos, but we need advice on adding subtitles! NOTE to you guys: These reviews are mainly negative - but as most programs out there are lacking! 1. Windows Movie Maker
According to just about anyone, Wndows Movie Maker is the best choice, but for Windows XP users, it is just about useless for subtitles. The only available version for XP adds text in huge letters across the video, and this is useless when deciding you want to sub an animated PV. It also does not let you edit mp4 files, so you have to convert them before you can sub them. The new version is said to be a lot better, but concidering I have XP...moving on...
2. AVS Video Editor
This video editor is pure genius when it comes to the general program. It is easy to use, and although can tend to lag, has a huge variety in what you do with text. It would be my top pick, but it always comes down to one thing: Price. If you download the free version, it still seems miraculous in the beginning, as it still has a huge variety in features. However, at the end of your creation, when it comes to converting the video, it places a strange red watermark in the centre of the video - unless you buy the full version. There is also lots of variety in the format you save it as, which can be a big bonus. But unless you're willing to pay for your creations, I'd give this download a miss, or all your end results will end in disaster.
3. VideoPad Video Editor
This video editor is quite good, but hard to get to grips with.People who haven't used the program before can struggle, and it is difficult and lags. The text is also force-ably placed at the bottom of the video. I'd avoid this program - unless you are REALLY struggling for software. It has a good variety of colours, however, and sizing the text isn't a problem.There is also a page on the website, also, where you can submit your ideas for the program. I myself have submitted a comment on subtitle adding. Also, there may be a time limit to how long you can keep the free version - I didn't keep it long enough to find out!
THE CONCLUSION
Don't download software for adding subtitles, unless you're prepared to pay for full versions of things such as AVS. The free software has many limitations, but it seems that text is nearly always what they limit. I would advise you to get a crack instead of paying, but not only will this damage the company that makes the software, but it will harm you as you can spend hours looking for a version that works, which can clog up your computer and pick up viruses. One thing you could do, is use internet software, but often this can add water marks and other random things you don't necisarilly want. I will add links if I find any good ones later, but so far the results are minor.
Overall, however, AVS Video Editor was the winner for the task. It was easy to use and had lots of variety, they only real problem being the obvious price. It can lag, but that is generally down to your own computer, so when processing videos it is best to have that program running alone.
Korean singer and actress, IU is one of the most popular Korean singers, her voice being cute and unique. IU's name originates from the phrase 'I and You', symbolising we can become one through music. She is often referred to as the 'nations little sister' due to her personality.
At the beginning, IU's talents were less recognised, her actually recognition being the year after when she released tracks such as Boo and Marshmallow. She later received more status - as she released a song for the TV show 'We Got Married' with 2AM's Seulong, and later even more when she began acting in popular TV dramas such as 'Dream High' in 2011.
IU is one of my favourite Korean Singers, 3rd of BoA and SHINee. She has a really sweet voice that really brings out my inner fangirl (LOL). She is a real fresh sound to the K-Pop industry, and I hope to see a lot more of her about, (especially being one of my favourite characters in my favourite drama...). I find her songs are really delightful - and would advise any lover of cute to listen to her songs :)

I can't make this message too long as my computer may die, and I may struggle to post for the next few days as my parents have taken my laptop charger for travelling with me laptop (may I ask why?? I always travel with it, and now they've suddenly decided I wasn't to use it when I'm away?? WHY???)

I have a few random flags in the flag counter, but nothing special as they all seem to be people of a language that can't read this.

There are absolutely loads of Vocaloid songs and PVs, but I'd like to introduce you to a really good one - JITTER DOLL!
It is a really upbeat song with a PV that is quite down-scale - but attracted me as of its complexity...and of course because it was catchy. There are multiple Vocaloids who have covered this song, all who have done so incredibly well, my favourite being Gakupo V3's version.
Obviously, I also mentioned the different versions of this song. I'll post them below. Please take a listen :)
Cover: Kagamine Len
I found this cover really good, as it was clearer than most but still quite deep. It also has the full PV attached.
MP3: 4Shared
Cover: Kamui Gakupo V3 Native
This one is my favourite. Although his voice is not as loud compared to the music, his tone really suits the song, being is all deep and husky.
MP3: 4Shared Cover: UTAUloid's Ritsu Namine
This is one of the most popular covers of the song. UTAUloid is a really hard program to get voices spot on, but the person who created this used the mascot's voice in a lower octave - making it (in my opinion) one of the best UTAUloid covers made. By the way, before anyone asks - Ritsu is in fact a guy who dresses as a female...
MP3: 4Shared
So, now they're all down...which one is your favourite? I know there is tough competition, but I suppose everyone will have their fave :)
Although this song was release quite a while ago, it's my new current addiction. Charming, sweet and upbeat, I adore it!
This is my type of Music Video, as it is an addicting song, without anything aimed at girls that's suggestive (they should save it for the guys...). Here is the video on YouTube:

You're special, And perfect. You've been analysed and compared, And you're different from the others (definitely boy~),
I am wretched, And insufficient, Oh silly me, Am I staring at you again?
Why am I doing this?
While thinking about you, La La Oh La, I could fly to the sky,
What should I do? You are walking towards me, Then all I hear is "blah, blah", I can't hear any of your words,
The time goes tic-tock tic-tock.. Then it stops!
Marshmallow! Marshmallow! It's so sweet...
Marshmallow! Marshmallow! Could this be love?
It's so soft, soft, soft, It's just so soft,
Girl girl, baby girl,
Clap, Clap and let it go! Plump like a jelly, Soft like a cookie, Boy boy, baby boy boy, (It's a marshmallow!)
I'm shy, And worrisome,
When I think about you, my face turns red.
Why am I doing this?
While thinking about you, La La Oh La I could fly to the sky,
What should I do?
You're walking towards me, (say what?) Then you ask for a date, (oh gosh!) I'm addicted to your voice, Everyone, Shhh! So I can hear!
Marshmallow! Marshmallow! It's so sweet,
Marshmallow! Marshmallow! Could this be love?
It's so soft, soft, soft, It's just so soft, Girl girl, baby girl,
Clap Clap and let it go! Plump like a jelly, Soft like a cookie, Boy boy, baby boy boy,
I must've slept, When I opened my eyes, Everything was gone like a dream, I'm gonna sleep so I can meet you again...
Marshmallow! Marshmallow! It's so sweet,
Marshmallow! Marshmallow! Could this be love?
It's so soft, soft, soft, It's just so soft, Girl girl, baby girl,
Clap Clap and let it go! Plump like a jelly,
Soft like a cookie,
Boy boy, baby boy boy!
IU on a Rocking Horse
I absolutely adore this music video! The giant Marshmallow man is ever so cute...you just want to go up to it and squish it <3 My only problem is that there isn't enough pictures of it on the internet... I only found a couple of icons in Google...boo... I hope IU creates many more songs like this, because she is really unique to other artists who just try to produce the best dance track they can.
But trying to ignore my super fan girl outburst, what does everyone else of IU's video? What other tracks of hers do you like? Opinions?
