Marshmallow by IU

 
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:

Korean Lyrics: Marshmallow Romaji Lyrics

English Lyrics: 

It's so soft, soft, soft, soft,

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?

K-Pop Artist - BoA

Who is BoA?

BoA  is a Korean solo artist, active in South Korea, Japan, and the United States. Her name can be an acronym for Best of Asia or Beat of Angel.
 She was discovered by SM Entertainment talent agents and in 2000, after two years of training, she released ID; Peace B, her debut Korean album, and is now known by many of her fans as the 'queen of K-Pop'.

My opinions on BoA are actually really good - she was one of the people that actually got me in to K-Pop. Many people have a more negative view on BoA, however, as her American debut was a little disappointing. But her comeback in Korean has made up for that, with songs such as 'Only One' and 'Hurricane Venus' showing off all her skills.

BoA has also collaborated with many high-profile artists, such as Westlife ,M-Flo and the Backstreet Boys Howie D, and working with artists such as Akon for her third album release.

'Troublemaker' - Sung by Troublemaker

Recently come across a K-Pop music Video on YouTube, that is apparently very popular (but I'd never seen it before in my life...)

Despite this, I thought Troublemakers self named music video was rather enticing. Here is the video on YouTube:

Sung by: HyunA (from 4Minutes) and  Jan Hyun Seung (from BEAST)
Release Date: 1st December 2011
Album: Trouble Maker (EP) Mini Album
Genre: K-Pop, Dance
Mp3 Download: 4Shared
Featured in: Dream High Drama, Kahi Drama
Korean Lyrics: http://www.musicelyrics.com/hyuna-hyunseung-trouble-maker-lyrics/
English Lyrics:

1!2!3!

When I see your eyes, I’m a trouble maker

When I stand next to you, I’m a trouble maker

Little bit more more more

As I go more more more

Now I can’t help my own heart

So you can’t forget me, I keep standing in front of you again

Your heart, so I can’t shake it and get out of it

I steal your lips again and run far away

I’m a Trou a a a ble! Trouble! Trou! Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

I’m going to bite your heart and run away like a cat

You’re going to keep getting ruffled, come up in front of me and let your anger out

My sexy walk will arouse inside your head

My inwardly skinship, your eyes are saying “I can’t take it any longer, I’m going to die”

As it continues I fall in deeper, the more I know, I’m liking you more baby

I think I’m drunk with the thoughts of you lady

I never never never stop!

So you can’t forget me, I keep standing in front of you again

Your heart, so I can’t shake it and get out of it

I steal your lips again and run far away

I’m a Trou a a a ble! Trouble! Trou! Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

How would I be able to contain you inside my heart (Trouble Maker)

Now I’m just going to go with how I feel

I never never stop!

I can’t stop

So you can’t forget me, I keep standing in front of you again

Your heart, so I can’t shake it and get out of it

I steal your lips again and run far away

I’m a Trou a a a ble! Trouble! Trou! Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

Trouble Maker!

My opinions on the music video are quite both sided. I find the song is greatly catchy, but the video concentrates too much on HyunA's body (mainly her a***), which I don't really want a view of, and there isn't enough views of Hyun Seung, which is the body I really want to look at (lol). The music though is why I like this, as the song is nice and upbeat, so is quite addicting when you get into it.

But despite the endless views of HyunA's butt, do you guys like the video? What are your opinions?

My Favourite K-Pop Music Videos

Okay, here is the list of my favourite ever K-Pop releases.


I'll post my top 10 videos, in order, of my current favourites. If they change, I may have to post again, as there are so my good ones!

1st Place - Shock by BEAST

Upbeat with cool dance moves, this one smashed it for me. It isn't just appealing for girls as of it being a boy group, but is also a good one for boys as of their style.

2nd Place - Bad Girl Good Girl by Miss A

Their song is really trippy and easy to get hooked on. When you look at the lyrics, it completely strikes you as 'girl power', so even gives you a reason to forgive their suggestive outfits.

3rd Place - Hurricane Venus by BoA

One of the artists that got me hooked on K-Pop has given us a glimpse of who she really is in the song releases after her American debut. This song had a huge sense of identity, and is seen as a major improvement to her previous songs to all K-Pop lovers.


4th Place - The Boys by Girls' Generation (If you're impatient, skip the 1st minute to the song)

Although the intro can be a bit of a bore, this song is catchy and addictive.

5th Place - Juliette by SHINee (Hard choice to pick out of SHINee videos, but I think this one came top)

6th Place - I'm Your Man by 2PM

Cool and a very reformed, 2PM is a popular choice for alot of K-Pop fans. This one entertains me mainly as of the cool dance...it gave me a clear picture in my mind for days after I first watched it.

7th Place - Genie (Tell Me Your Wish) by Girls' Generation

Girls' Generation always give a good positive vibe in their music, but this one is an extremely happy song to always help cheer you up.

8th Place - Sexy, Free and Single by Super Junior

Okay...maybe a little obvious that the title was the first thing that made me watch this video. Luckily the song lived up to the name so I'm very pleased placing it here.

9th Place - Marshmallow by IU

EEEppp x Sorry for a less upbeat song, but I had to add IU on here. She is cute and sweet, and I love things like this...

10th Place - Only One by BoA

One of her most recent songs, I had to add BoA on here again. This song did really well in challenging her full potential, so she could show her fans what she was made of. It left a great impression on me, and according to the reviews, her fans as well.


Okay, so these are my favourites, now what are yours?

Korean Artist's American Debut's - Good or Bad?

Okay, as you probably already know, once a Korean artist becomes really successful, they may have the opportunity to debut in America. Many artists want to try and make this breakthrough in the birthplace of Pop.


So who has so far  climbed onto the American Ladder? Here are a few videos of many singers debut singles for America:


BoA - Debuted October 21st 2008, with single 'Eat You Up'.

Her self-titled album was then released 2 months later in March, and can be found on iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/boa/id307004155
Some people believe that BoA's debut was not as good as most artists such as Rain, as the song lyrics were lacking and the preview was dull They say that SM Entertainment, who claimed she was 'Best of Asia', was over-rated, but I still believe the Queen of K-Pop has one of the most unbeatable voices of the music industry, and it was only the lyrics which let her down.


Girls' Generation - Debuted January 17th 20012 with single 'The Boys'.

Both the Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation debutted in January, but I believe Girls' Generation were the ones who packed the largest punch. Their debut recieved hundreds of positive reviews from press worldwide, and is now seen as a popular representative of Korean Music. Even before their debut, they had popular artists noticing their songs, and even had K$SHA basing one of her singles on the Girls' Generation song, 'Run Devil Run'.

Their album can also be found on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-boys/id493309571

Other Debuted Artists Examples: Utada, Se7en, Rain, Wonder Girls.

Who is to debut next? Well we believe 2NE1 is planning to release an album produced by the one and only Will.I.Am, and are hoping for even more success from our Korean idols. Good Luck out there!

What are your favourite American debuts? We'd be happy to here from you, so please leave a comment <3

TRENDING - PSY's Gangnam Style

Top of the charts in Korea and the UK. A trend for cheesy, but colourful song 'Gangnam Style' has swept the globe. 

For those of you don't know, 'Gangnam Style' is a single released by Southern Korean rapper PSY, released on July 12th 2012. The music video has been viewed over 447 million times on YouTube, and is currently thriving still at the top of our charts.

In my opinion, Gangnam style is an average song about a guy who fancies a girl who likes coffee. Nothing special about the lyrics, but it does have a good beat and an entertaining music video. I wouldn't really recommend Gangnam style to most, however, as I find PSY has quite a plain voice, and if you don't watch the video along with the song, it can actually be quite boring.
So why is Gangnam style appearing across the world? Most likely as the music video is funny, and is brimming with 'summery' feelings.

Here are the lyrics to 'Gangnam Style', for those who don't know them already:

Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style

A girl who is warm and humanle during the day
A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist

I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that

I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two

You know what I’m saying
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

So can 'Gangnam Style' strike a trend in the popularity of K-Pop? I believe, yes. Not only has viewing on K-Pop music videos on YouTube significantly rose since then, but K-pop is already popular among most music lovers. This is a way of spreading knowledge on K-Pop music, although may cause a little ignorance from people who dislike the humour of the video.
But anyway, this isn't probably why you've clicked onto this topic, this is what you really want to see...
