The Last Week In Videos #1

It's such a pain maintaining this blog, honestly speaking. However with the new year we made up our minds and try to give everything a fresh start. This means of course firstly our YouTube channels but then again this blog exsists and it would be nice to use it every once in a while.

So we thought about what to do and for now it sounds like a great idea to just dump all of our videos of one week here every monday. We've also been using all of our social media more again so check out our Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter if you like those sides and want to hear more from us!

For now we have a three video a week schedule, only broken by new releases we get in the mail and want to unbox as fast as possible but if we manage to stick to everything you should see at least three videos in those upcoming blog posts.



The week started off with our first fansite unboxing that wasn't EXO related. A big step for us, most probably in the wrong direction seeing as we like a band enough to get fan made goods from them as well. This being said you may know that ever since we watched WIN Jinhwan has become Maren's number one bias and now that he's finally debuting Lyza thought it would be a good idea to get her a 2015 calendar from his Treasure fansite.



After showing you our impressive collection of 275 K-Pop CDs, doubles not counted, we also wanted to grand you a look into how we store all of those probably close to 300 CDs. They have by now infiltrated every room except for the kitchen and our bathroom. We are very happy with how everything look right at the moment though so it was nice to share it with you guys!



Our copy of EXO's Exology Chapter 1: The Lost Planet finally arrived at our customs and we were able to pick it up and unbox it for you guys. We are still not sure about both the Special Edition CD nor the Photobook, especially the photobook, but we ordered it before knowing it would be this unsatisfying.



We're slowly going through our last prerecorded videos and decided to publish them as our regular unboxing videos but we're getting to an end so it would be nice to hear from you guys which of our albums you would like us to unbox. This sunday we did an unboxing of ToHeart's First Album which was a dream come true for Greta.

So that's everything for this week, if any of you have wishes as to what we should do in our next videos please tell us so in the comments and we hope to see you next week on another collective video!

Unboxings of the past ... week

So after thinking about it we thought it would be a good idea to make a blogpost about all the unboxings we did in one week, just to make it handy for you to see if you forgot to watch something ~

This week was still a bit slow but we decided to stick to our posting schedule.



On monday we finally unboxed our 2nd Super Show, after already having unboxed the 1st and 3rd one. In my opinion I think the packaging is the best out of the three because it looks like a fancy DVD but it still fits your shelves well. It also has a way better quality than the first Super Show and it feels to me like it also has more special stages, which I like a lot.



Tuesday had another B.A.P unboxing, which means only one more unboxing and you will be able to find every CD B.A.P ever released unboxed on our channel! Crash is sadly though my least favourite album. It is very hard to store the album and the 'booklet' only has photos from one photoshoot. It looks very fancy and impressive though if that's your thing.



On our Special Saturday we unboxed our signed version of Topp Dogg's Dogg's Out Repackage Cigarette which we got on YesAsia. We heavily relied on this CD when we started learning Topp Dogg's names that's probably the reason why it's so precious to us. As we already mentioned in one our Wednesday Bandsday's the Cigarette era is also one of our favourites looks wise even though the song wasn't as good as Follow Me in our opinion. Or Arario for that matter but that wasn't out back when this album was released. We really like the packaging of this album though with the big group photo you get when you open it up once.

That's everything for this week. Next to these unboxings we only shared Greta's, quite impressive, K-Pop Photocard Collection, at least if you consider that neither of us actively collects photocards.

We are pretty sure though that things will get back to normal in the upcoming week so expect some fun videos that aren't unboxings on our channel in the next few weeks. MV Reactions will probably have to wait for another week if I am predicting right.

Have a great day everyone!

March Favourites - Songs that welcomed spring with us.

Another month has passed and we are more than thrilled to share our favourite music with you again! Of course there is a new video about them on our channel as well so make sure to check it out but here is the complete list of songs we adored. Tell us what you listened to a lot this month, okay?

Wings - Hair Short
This song really took us by surprise (and the video was even more suprising and on the really weird side, you should check it out nonetheless because it will most probably give you the shivers!), a good surprise that is though. This song really reminds us of Maria Mena in a good way and the lyrics are really good as well.

ToHeart - Delicious
Let’s just say it once and for all. Key and Woohyun in a subgroup are just simply delicious. Nom. The song is also good by the way.
- You’re my lady
This is a really playful song in which Key sounds really good.
- Tell Me Why
This is the other song they promoted and it’s a bit slower, thus being able to showcase Woohyun’s great singing more than their title track.

4Minute - Wait A Minute
This might be our favourite song from the whole album, Hyuna sounds so bratty, but also cocky in her adlibs and it just shouts fun.
- Whatcha doin today
Another great track by 4Minute paired with a weird video. This song is about being a bit less serious in life and tells you to just enjoy yourself.

M.I.B - 치사BOUNCE
They are back and they are good! M.I.B is one of our secret love affairs, something we love to listen to but normally just don’t talk about, but this song is too good to keep it from you!
- Men In Black
This song was released a while ago but since it’s on their new album we decided to smuggle it into this list, forcing you to listen to it now if you don’t know it. Trust us you will be mindblown!
- 강강수월래
Sexy stuff right here for your ears. 5Zic’s rap in the beginning sets the mood and the whole song stays like.

MBLAQ - Be A Man
This came as a surprise because it really does not sound like any other MBLAQ song while it still manages to have their distinctive style! Well done boys and we are in love!

Super Junior M - Swing
Such a strong album! And we love Swing as their title track. It has such a retro vibe to it and we must confess we were hooked from when we watched the teaser for the first time.
- Strong
Even though we would like to recommend every song on this album Strong (as well as addiction) is one of the songs that stood out to us the most.
- Addiction
We mostly talk about the fast songs from this album and this song is no exception but you should really give the slower songs on this album a chance as well.

Speed - Zombie Party
Ah. Our love for Speed just seems to grow bigger and bigger. This song is so fun and we can only eagerly await their new song which you will probably find on our April Favourites list.

Troy - Green Light
Green Light was really not what we expected it to be, but after we got over that we realized how good it was on it’s own. We still hope for something a bit different for their next songs!

Orange Caramel - Catallena 
Everyone and their mom seems to love this song (and the whole concept I mean MAN they are SUSHI) so yes, we are guitly too for being head over heels for this song. But it is really great!
- So Sorry The second track on this album and it’s not as strong as Catallena but it is still very good and very worthy of giving it a listen!

100% - Beat
We were not sure what to expect of 100%’s comeback but we found ourselves really falling in love with their titletrack Beat. It is an awesome song, in our opinion the album did not live up to it though.

Baechigi - 뜨래요
Very fine rap in this one and since you probably haven’t listened to it yet I demand you to type this in your youtube searchbar and give it a listen!

Electroboys - 뱅뱅사거리
Another fun song by the Electroboys that we found ourselfs in love with. Don’t be surprised though when it reminds you of Teen Top ;D

SoReal - 심장이 말했다
This song. Is golden. I am not sure if it was the intention of the writer but the beat and everything reminds me of pop songs from the 80ies.

Crayon Pop - Uhee
This sounds so much like trot that we couldn’t blink before we were sold. Pair this with another cute outfit concept and a fun dance and we are in love with Crayon Pop’s comeback, easy as that.

If there is something on this list that you didn't listen to before and now really found out liking please let us know. It would mean a lot to us.

Our Jam In January. Jamuary?

We sat down and thought about what to do. And we decided it would be nice to give you a little list of music we really enjoyed in January. Of course this is only K-Pop and we also liked some other stuff. (Lyza and I especially liked Fettes Brot since we went to their concert just recently, if you know them please leave a comment and tell us we're not alone!)

However this list is only filled with K-Pop and we tried to also list some songs you might not have heard cause they haven't been promoted and you probably didn't listen to the whole ablum, we must confess most of the time we don't listen to the full albums either but we took the time and made us to find all those great songs for you!

So let's get started!

Topp Dogg - Arario
We must confess that we weren’t really hooked by Open The Door but Arario is such a great song. It’s catchy, fun and just makes you dance to it. Best news yet: They released a teaser for this song so there will be an MV!

Rain - 30 Sexy
Is there much we need to say about this song? I mean Rain is Dirty Sexy and we couldn’t agree more with him! Love the song, dance and his whole comeback!
- La Song
Uhh what the video for 30 Sexy was kind of lacking this one had it. Plus La Song has this really catchy, sightly weird chorous that just makes you love it!
- Superman
Read: Rain. This song is a bit more on the techno/autotune side but we still really enjoy it!
- Where Are You Going, Oppa? Feat. Hyuna
This Song. Is perfection in the form of a song. The way she asks him ‘Where are you Going, Oppa?’ And the way he answers in the same whiny tone, get’s us everytime. We hadn’t thought so but Hyuna and Rain make a good couple, music wise.

DBSK - Something
My what a comeback! We loved the song from the second we heard the Teaser and we ended up loving it. Sadly the album did not hold up to the song in our opinion.

Girl’s Day - Something
Now that was something! Even though we did not really rave about the MV, we really disliked the fact that it hinted on a plot but never went through with it, we love the song! It has a subtle sexiness, a very catchy choreous and the girls look so perfect!
- GDP Intro
This is only an intro but it’s so good we had to include it on our list! It’s upbeat and it features a male rapper, we think it might be Zico from Block B but haven’t found out yet. In our opinion this song is the perfect example of a great into to an awesome album!

Gain - Fxxk U
This was only a prereleased song as a preview for her album with a really strong MV. This is a ‘duet’ with Bumkey and their voices work really well together, complimenting each other in the best way possible.

Gary - Zotto Mola
We didn’t think we would fall in love with this so much but right now the Gary Album is something we listen to a lot. Zotto Mola is a very calm rap song that just shows how good Gary is at rapping, and man he’s really good.
- Shower Later
This MV caused everyone to be shocked and well it was quite revealing. Next to the MV that we really have mixed feelings about we do really, really love the song. The song just causes you to nod along to it, relaxing and really feeling the vibe.
- 취한 밤의 노래 (Feat. Jung in)
There is a strong experimental feeling to this song as well as that it sounds very old school. But after listening to the album for a few times I can admit that this is my favourite song on it.

 K-Much - 모르고
This is the male pendant to Crayon Pop, the song is even the same but completely differently arranged. Just as Crayon Pop it has a Kamen Rider, or something like this, feel to it. We are also madly in love with the dance they developed to it!

Dalshabet - BBB
I must confess we didn’t give this song a second listen for a very long time since we really didn’t like the MV much. But then I turned it on and felt as if I had travelled though time back to the 80s. The first thing this song reminded me of was Soft Cell’s Tainted Love!
- 그냥 지나가 (수빈 Solo) (Feat. BTOB 일훈)
This is Subin’s solo and it features BTOB’s Ilhoon. It’s a solw song which normally isn’t my forte but the vocals are just so strong that I fell in love with it anyways.


B1A4 - Lonely
Sadly we can only repeat what everyone else keeps saying. This is a slow song for B1A4 but it totally sounds like them anyways. I think one of the most important archievements for a band is to carve their own personal style and B1A4 did that.
- Drunk With Music (CNU Solo)
Finally Shinwoo got his own solo and it’s good. It has a slighty groovy vibe but it’s fun and easily the second best song on this album in our opinion!

Kiss&Cry - Domino Game
This might be the band nearly no one of you heard about before, we hadn’t either and just spontanously decided to watch their MV and fell hard for the song. It kind of remids us of trot but with a heavy pop beat.

Spica - You Don’t Love Me
This might be my favourite Spica song ever but I could also be heavily influenced by the whole concept they also added to the song. I am in love with the MV and their styling.

And that's it. If you made it this far, congratulations. If you listened to all these songs: We love you! And we demand that you tell us your favourite songs of January. Do you like the same songs as we do? Did we forget to mention someone you really, really liked?

Sometimes you win and sometimes you loose big time. MWave Lucky Bag's

We really don't know what we did wrong but we got really unlucky with our Lucky Bags by Mwave. Lets rewind that a bit. Sometime around christmas Mwave offered 150 Lucky Bags, containing everything you will be able to imagine from signed CDs to EXO Pop Up Store goods and a whole lot of other things. Lyza and I were sold and bought three of those Lucky Bags.

Fast forward. Now it's the end of January and those things arrived at ours one by one. We opened the first one and found a copy of Teen Top's Teen Top Class and Rainbow's Rainbow Syndrome Pt.2. We already own Teen Top Class but I was more than happy about the Rainbow album, because I've been meaning to buy it.

The next day we got our next package. Containing. Exactly the same.

On monday we got our third package. Containing. Exactly the same.

Which makes us the proud owners of three Teen Top Class albums (four if you count the one we bought when it was released) and three Rainbow Syndrome albums. Lucky us.

We're still trying to think about what to do with those CDs but right now, we are a tad bit frustrated.

So if you stumbled here because you wanted to see what other people got in their Lucky Bags, tell us what you got, okay :D

Have a nice day everyone! And you should listen to Teen Top Class and Rainbow Syndrome Pt.2 by the way.

The nexy 'quick' update ~ Our Collections



While still trying to figure out what to write on here, since we cover a lot on or Youtube Channel, I though I could continue to update you about what we did in the time we haven't posted on here.

And what we did was collect.

So at the beginning of January we decided it was time to shoot a new, more organized and also shorter, K-Pop Collection Video. First Lyza's & Maren's and then Gretas. I promise they are both worth watching them till the end. And if you do you could tell me in the comments which CDs you would like to own? Or which you do own.

If you shot a collection video yourself, or made a post about yours you could be a darling and link it to us because we love seeing other peoples collections!




Oh and for those of you who want to be able to read which CDs we do have! We also have a neat little list where you can see what we own, and what we already unboxed from the things we own. Isn't that handy? Just klick here!

And last but not least. We also filmed an Infinie Collection Video in which we show (nearly) everything we do own from Infinite. So if you are still not satisfied with eveything I linked you to. Have one last thing to look at.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9p8kaWD73-M" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That's it for today. As mentioned before, if you have something you want me to talk about all you need to do is drop me a comment or message or anything on any of our social mediasides and while I can't promise to talk about it in a video I promise to at least talk about it in this blog post. Deal?

Eveyone have a great Sunday!
