Yup it’s the talented korean’s turn this time. Known to the world through her song “Houki Boshi” which became the anime BLEACH” ending theme song. She has a great voice and superb piano playing. Younha!!! No other than her. She could speak korean, japanese and english. Her songs have entered the oricon charts and these factors is what makes her get compared to BoA very often. (-A-)~ haaaahh  But she’s still a different individual of course!!

Can you believe she learned her japanese just by watching doramas? Her skils then developed when she started going back and forth between Korea and Japan. Man, she sure learns fast. Now japanese has become her second language. Pics and inf from http://goyounha.free.fr/, her friendster, and also her forum from www.cardcaptorstacey.co.uk. Well….. let’s look at her short bio and pics!!! (^0^)/

The Twin Factor!! \(^_^)/\(^_^)/ March 29, 2007

     

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 

Okay… More on Mana Kana. Just giving you guys a brief information about them. I’m really excited about them because they’re twins and it is so fascinating. It’s not common nowadays so I’ll be waiting for their new releases and I hope they’ll soon be famous! \(^_^)/

Okay I’m gonna QUIT talking. More on giving the info…

Their names are: Mikura Mana (right) AND Mikura Kana (left) 

Was born on February 23 1986, in Osaka(kansai  jin!!), 157 cm and their blood type is O (same as mine and anybody with O blood type!! \(^-^)/ )

They join the basketball club. Mana plays the trumpet and Kana the tenor saxophone. They’re pretty talented aren’t they? Both play the winds instrument.

Both like fruits and shrimp but Mana likes grapefruit and tangerine while Kana likes apples.

Mana’s favorite colour is the colour of the sea and orange. Kana likes yellow and yellowish green.

They’ve done a few commercials and appeared in several TV broadcast. They’ve also done a lot of poster for safety informations, advertisements and many other posters for Osaka, their hometown. Examples:

 

Well… that’s  it for now… I’m thinking of putting more profiles so that you guys can know more about the artist you listen to! (^-^)V

ManaKana: Not your ordinary sister stars! ^o^ March 28, 2007

  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 

Mana Kana??? Hmmm (-_-)>???  You never heard them before. They’re not that known yet around the world. They just released their debut album! Hmmmm (-_-)>?? Still wondering who they are? Mana and Kana are sisters. (-_-)>? “SO WHAT?” You may have thought that they are ordinary sisters, but not so fast…. did you realize that…They’re actual TWINS!!!! Oooohhh Aaaaahhh!!! (‘o’)

Yup, twins. Very rare right? There aren’t very many twin stars in Japan, actually I don’t think I’ve heard of any. Hehehe ( ^_^ ; )> They did a few commercials and appeared on tv several times on many different shows but this is their first single. I’m so excited to hear twins singing together. (>.<)

Well, their debut song is called “Nigatsu no Watayuki” and it was released on January the 31st, 2007. It’s actually a very nice song. It’s really nice to hear them sing together because their voices are harmonized and it was also interesting to hear them take turns when singing. Their PV is very cute, especially where they sing facing each other or back-to-back (like facing mirrors) . I can’t tell which one is which though. (^.^ ; )> A very interesting duet I say. You should try listening to them or watching their PV on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QWVxvMHvAs

 I’m not going to put rating like A or B because I suck at giving grades m(-_-)m

CHE.R.RY, 桜, what more can you say… it’s spring people!!! (>. March 25, 2007

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 

AAAAAaaaaahhhhhh spring….. there isn’t spring in my country, so what the heck. (- 3 -) The sun shines on me all year round. I’m baking myself here (=_=) . I’ll be celebrating for all of you that have spring in your country. Especially Japan!! It’s sakura season!! (~^.^)~ WOHOOOOO!! Sitting under the trees, eating bento, drinking macha latte…ahhh joy of lifE. Never had this experience before. Students will be entering new grades too. What a great season. No holiday for japanese kids. (~.~) Not to mention white day has just passed on the 14th of March.

Well that’s not what I’m suppose to talk about. Well I’m here to announce the releaseS from YUI, RYTHEM, Angela Aki, Hoshimura Mai . Yes, sakura is their theme. It’s the season.

First up: CHE.R.RY by YUI.  Very nice song. Personally I like all of YUI’S songs. It has a very nice tune and the PV is cute. She smiles all the way. It’s a more cheerful side of YUI. The song has a pop theme not like Rolling star and YUI is back with her classical guitar!

In second place: Sakura uta (or is it sakurauta?) by RYTHEM. Not many people know this duo. (hiqs hiqs so sad) Their songs are actually very good. It’s a combination of guitar and piano/keyboard. The singer Yui and Yuka sings very well and their songs are relaxing. Maybe some of their pvs aren’t pvs that you would look forward to, but the songs are still good.

In third place: Sakura Iro by Angela Aki. There is nothing more to say. It’s Angela Aki. her songs are marvelous, her piano playing is nothing you’ve ever seen. It’s a very nice song to listen to anytime. You can actually hear a line from her HOME song in one of the verses. Interesting. Her PV definitely a must watch. AAAAAHHHHH the sakura just grabs your attention. I want a room like that! It’s sooooo beautiful!! Definitely a must watch!! 

Lastly: Sakura Biyori by Hoshimura Mai. All you BLEACH anime fans may recognize this song for it is BLEACH’S newest ending. Again, another piano tune. The PV is okay, it’s not very interesting but the song is excellent. I thought the beginning was quite odd but as the song enters the chorus with “kimi to boku to sakura biyori~” I liked it. It was a very nice chorus. BLEACH songs are always enjoyable to listen.  <(^o^)>

A Perfect Day to Say I Love You Tracklist March 25, 2007

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Another trackist. This time it’s for Younha. The most titles are in korean, unlike YUI who always uses english for her title (wonder why.) Younha’s korean song ‘Audition (Time2Rock)’ isn’t bad. Sadly it’s not included in this album… There are 13 tracks, same as YUI’s album. WHY 13? I thought it was a bad number… (-_)~

The first for Younha March 25, 2007

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

\(‘o’)/ \(‘o’)/\(‘o’)/ Like what the title says…. Younha has released her first korean full album!!!!! The title is 고백하기 좋은 날 (Go Baek Ha Gi Jo Eun Nal)  or ‘A Perfect Day to Say I Love You’ if translated. I haven’t heard any of her songs from this album except one, but I’ve heard her Japanese songs and they are pretty good ( ‘ 3 ‘ ) ~ ♫

I’ve watched one of the pv in this album which is “Password 486″ (Odd title). The pv showed Younha’s excellent piano playing (wish I could do that) And once again it was the first for Younha…..the FIRST KISS!! (°_°)  There was a kiss in the end of the pv that shocked we a little (;°A°). It was with Yoon Ji Hoo. It got me thinking “right. she’s all grown up now.” BTW, she’s going to be 19 this April.

http://www.stam.co.kr/younha/ This is her website if you want to check out her pv, pics and information. (it’s in korean, I couldn’t read a thing) (;-_-)> hehehe
