Many of you know it's my own dream to make my debut within a girl group. (Whether under a Korean or Japanese label I'm still unable to decide). I would love to audition somewhere, but truthfully I just don't have the transportation to attend them. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">I appreciate that there are the few people that truly support my dream.

The nationwide media has shown barely a glimpse of young singer Jasmine (20), but her single "Sad to Say" has already topped the digital download charts. It's being reported as the first time an artist has reached No.1 on the charts before making their official debut, which Jasmine did a week later on June 24. The song hasn't even benefited from a TV commercial tie up, and its success has been mostly through online viral marketing and the comparisons with Utada. She also wrote her own songs from the start and did all her pre-debut promotions only on the radio. Jasmine says she considers Utada a big influence but was first inspired to become a singer at the age of 13 after seeing a gospel choir perform at the US military base in Yokota. She dropped out of high school in the tenth grade and passed an audition with Sony Music a year later. She has since performed in clubs and appears every Thursday on the J-Wave radio station. No doubt we'll be hearing a lot more from this young singer. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><p align="center"><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UnBN7Bkbxhk&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UnBN7Bkbxhk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></p><p align="center">It's not just the way she looks that is getting attention. (Though it did make me think, Lady Gaga)? The song is just pure talent. I really love her voice! She's definately become a new idol for me! (Although is it ironic that I just finished Sophmore year)? She undoubtedly has the talent and rhythm to reach the top (as she already has) but how long can she hold onto the popularity <s>(of being a newcomer)</s>? Personally, her voice really does remind me of that of Utada Hikaru. Wouldn't it be awesome if they did a duet together? Two amazing voices in one performance! (Let's hope!)</p><p align="center">Go Jasmine!</p>Nakajima Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03190827960895664463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990378902667135724.post-57239519330005464772009-06-30T23:29:00.000-07:002009-06-30T23:31:35.750-07:00Genie Isn't Just A Last THREE Letter Change At The End Of Gee<div align="center">It's also selling 3 times faster!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">It is said that So Nyeo Shi Dae’s new song ‘Tell me Your Wish’ is faster selling as compared to their previous hit ‘Gee’ released earlier this year.</div><div align="center"><br /><br />According to Hanteo, ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ has sold over 24K copies offline in just 2 days into its release.

Hmm..</div><div align="center">SHE TOOK HER FIRST TRIP TO DISNEYLAND! =D HONG KONG! WITH ZOEY!</div><div align="center">Lol, it's actually my first trip to any Disneyland (unless you want to count that time I went to Disneyland Paris)! It was a very 'Magical' (as the MTR station would say) day! Zoey says it's because we're magical people. Which really can you deny? Zoey is magical in all good aspects and Kari is magically annoying & immature! :3</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Highlights! Step by step! ^^</div><div align="center">[Pictures & Videos will be available as I force Zoey to locate her USB]</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">1) WENT IN THE WRONG DIRECTION</div><div align="center">Maybe it's only us that have EVER done this. (Because we're magical)? But when we walked into Disneyland (off the MTR) we just followed a huge crowd of people, who we believed were entering the park early. We were WRONG. We followed them into a deep right turn through bushes (which now that I think about it why would they pick such a hard place for their customers to go into and follow?) and thought we were going the correct way. It wasn't until we reached an ID check that we realized we went the wrong way. We thought it was to gain admittance into the park. The man didn't tell us otherwise, as he thought we were tourist and wouldn't understand Chinese (since we kept speaking English) and just mumbled the entire time (I guess not being to confident in his English) and failed to tell us that the path we followed was a way for WORKERS ONLY to get ready for the park to open. So we of course were a little embarrassed at our mistake (but seriously it's a hilaroius first memory to have of Disney) but laughed mostly because of the guy who just kept speaking gibberish. :)</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">2) NOT REALIZING THE PARK OPENED @ 10</div><div align="center">We had bought our tickets, which now we realize should bring a Hong Kong Citizen ID Card [or Student ID like Zoey] to get your ticket cheaper! And we had arrived at about 9 and didn't know the park opened at 10, so yeah, we had lots of time to kill. But on the way the BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT of our day was found! :3</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">3) STITCH & ANGEL HATS</div><div align="center">We did take pics of these hats and us wearing them! (3 Lucky people shall recieve an autographed copy from Zoey & Kari! ;D) Originally we were just waiting around the front of the park looking at shopping carts. And DANG! Everything was so expensive. The Stitch & Angel hats Zoey found were $195 HK ($25 US). I first persuaded Zoey not to get the Angel one she really wanted, as it would be a waste of money that we could spend on food. (Which I kind of regret~). But we both ended up getting the hats. Zoey = Angel. Kari = Stitch. Were there any doubts in the choices? xD They are adorable and looks like they are eating our heads and we're giving them piggy back rides (on our heads)! (Well at least Stitch looks like he's eating my head xD;;)</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">4) RIDES! RIDES! && MORE RIDES!</div><div align="center">In Order Of Best Rides:</div><div align="center">1. Space Mountain - Mostly because we rode it 9 times without getting bored. It was the most fun ride out of the entire park as it was the ONLY rollercoaster! But seriously, the parts with going down (skipping a heartbeat) and the posing for pictures was something to look forward to in the ride! We rode in front twice, 2nd row 3 times, 3rd row 3 times, 4th row twice? (Wait..that'd make it 10 times we rode...Oh well, I forget exact numbers -fails at being Asian-) It was super fun even after we memorized the track! xD;; Making other people scream is funny, && I'm super proud of Zoey for getting over her short-lived fear! ;D</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">2. Buzz Lightyear - Fun shooting game that takes up time and you can get on really quickly! It's fun to check out your score and try and kill Zoey! ;D -shot- There was a moving Buzz Lighyear & Etch-A-Sketch you can see while lining up! (You are not the boss of me)! So this entire ride just plainly isn't boring, but after you know where to shoot, you're going to wish for something new.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">3. Winnie The Pooh - This must've been the most adorable ride, in the history of amusement park rides! It tells the story of Pooh (which we really didn't listen too) but the effot people put into building these cute scenes that would pop out and you and make you admire the beauty is just amazing. It's pretty much a one time ride, but I highly recommend it as it is a MUST! (For girls)! Plus there's a cute picture you can take at the end! (As mentioned before 3 of them with our Stitch & Angel hats)!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">5) FAST PASS!</div><div align="center">Okay, I seriously wish we learned about fast passes earlier. But if we had, we probably wouldn't have killed as much time. (Unless we decided to ride Space Mountain & play Buzz Lightyear some more)! Fast pass is something you can get with your ticket, using machines located outside right next to the ride itself. The fast pass works within the hour of --:45 to --:45 (Ex: 3:45 - 4:45). It's great because you don't have to wait in line as long and reach the ride faster! But the problem is you can only hold one fast pass at a time. We had tried to cheat by getting both Buzz Lightyear & Space Mountain ones (which we didn't think was wrong at the time) but you can't have a fast pass for one ride, and then another. (As that would be unfair to other customers). Truthfully, the wait for rides (or at least Space Mountain) were durable, so we had gotten 2 fast passes to Buzz Lightyear and 1 to Space Mountain! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">6) DRINKS</div><div align="center">We only drank coke, and then Zoey bought herself a Fanta at Disneyland. OMG! Seriously, we should've snuck in our own drinks, because I swear we lost 10 pounds walking through that park, not eating anything, and barely having anything to drink for 9 whole hours! </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">7) PICTURES WITH THE CHARACTERS</div><div align="center">We only did when we first entered the park to take a picture with Stitch. The line was very short, but the wait took forever, and it was in the burning sun. Not something I'd recommend considering we didn't even end up getting the picture not having enough time and finding it pointless. Though, I wish we got the people in costume's autographs! ;D</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Really it was an amazing experience! :3 It was also Zoey's first time at Disneyland too! So even more fun! ^^ We got to experience all the fun of Disney together! x3 I guess we're juts magical (?) that way that we can have fun wherever together! xD (Because the rides at disney are really baby-ish). Love hanging out with this kid! :3 She is super awesome! ^0^ MTR ride was tiring after hanging out at the park all day. But at least Zoey will be able to say today was NOT boring! ;] ♥</div>Nakajima Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03190827960895664463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990378902667135724.post-21399552840848305762009-06-28T22:42:00.001-07:002009-06-28T22:51:54.233-07:00NYC Boys Do Not Exist<p align="center">'NYC Boys' perform on School Kakumei.</p><p align="center"><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ELPb2rjBYko&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ELPb2rjBYko&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></p><p align="center">So lyrics are still as cheesy as ever. && Excuse me? 'New York City Boys?' I still don't understand why it's so cool to make it big in America. (Well I do, but I still find it pointless). Anyways the performances overall was really nice to watch. Good to see 3 of my BOYS in the front on the floor, but then turn back into JE juniors suddenly. Seriously, where is the time for my BOYS? I'm not complaining of how this song is a Yamada & Chinen duet though. Another 2 our of 10 of my boys! Considering this basically is THEIR program and nYC Boys was all about them anyways it's nice to see. (But my BOYS need to shine now! I don't want them to remain in the background!) The people in the performance are Yamada, Chinen, Hokuto, Fuma, & Yuugo. Yuma, Kento, (& Shintaro) were busy filming for 'Vampire Boy' which seems to be a promising drama! I think I'll really enjoy it! (Especially Yuma's character, because seriously I'm falling for him OUTSIDE of JE. Inside JE he still stinks & I hate him!)</p><p align="center">NYC Boys (& Yuma w/ B.I. Shadow) will release their singles July 15th! Remember to support the artist and BUY the CDs!</p><p align="center">---><a href="http://www.yesasia.com/">YesAsia</a><---</p><p align="center">Okay, I'm not trying to be an anti or anything. But it's obvious a huge majority of us hate the idea of YUMA w/ B.I. Shadow because it just shines on ONE of it's members. If sales rank low for their debut CD, do you think Johnny's willl realize his mistake and change the idea when the next single comes around? Think about it! Buy the CD & show support! NYC Boys is a for sure buy because Yamada & Chinen are the main focused (They just put Yuma's name in there to try and make him more popular and plus they needed the 'New' in 'New York City') & I gotta show the love I got for my boys! But I can't say I'll buy Yuma w/ B.I.

This time it takes place in Korea, SHINee's maknae TaeMin is said to be harrassed and abused in school. Netizens are not letting this go unoticed, and I'm sure everyone knows of the news by now. Evidence in a girl's online diary: </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em>..Today was rainy, so I was going to give up seeing Lee Taemin, but then the Taemin spy came in and told me “Noona, in 9 minutes, Taemin’s leaving” or something like that… So I ran like fire but it’s raining like crazy… But Lee Taemin has an umbrella. He also had a beanie in his other hand so my friend stuck to him and started talking to him when I was just taking pictures. Just then as he went to the gym he almost fell.. I was laughing so I couldn’t take the picture then he went to the teacher’s office. I followed him in then the homeroom teacher said “Did you come just now?”. Taemin looked kind of disappointed and misunderstood and said “No, I came at period 1.” Then the teacher goes into the Principle’s office with Taemin. Whatever/ So I prepared my continuous 9 shot camera. Just then Lee Taemin came out in his beanie. He looked at the mirror before he left ㅠㅠ…</em></div><div align="center"><em><br /></em></div><div align="center">More Entries Exposed:</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em>After Japanese class, I asked my friend if we should follow TaeMin again. So we were waiting outside the gym and then this kid who looked like him appeared, we went up and it wasn’t him so we scolded him ****. Then he came down, his height was obviously much taller than that kid before. We went up and stuck ourselves next to him<br />Me: Taemin ah, when is Jong Hyun doing his birthday party?<br />TaeMin: …<br />Me: Jong Hyun is not having a birthday party?<br />TaeMin: …<br />My friend: Taemin ah, do you want to date noona? Why don’t you hold noona’s hand? Do you hate noona’s hand so much? You hurt noona’s heart, I’m going to scold you **** for not answering me if Jong Hyun is having his birthday party</em></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Another Article Through TellZone:</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em>I’m a guy in my 3rd year of high school and this isn’t a lie. My friend at ChungDam high school told me it wasn’t up until physical group harassment.<br />But when he comes to school nearly 100 students cover his way and won’t let him pass and take pictures and stuff. When he tried to pass some say stuff like “you think you’re so big ’cause you’re a celebrity’ or ‘he’s not as tall as I imagined’ or ‘he’s not that handsome’ and a lot of other stuff.<br />And there’s another story everyone at the high school knows about the a time he was listening to classes and he ate lunch at the teacher’s lounge. So some delinquents from 2nd grade came and waited during lunch and when he came back and sat at his desk with his head down, they kicked his desk and said stuff like “hey, do we look like idiots to you? Do you think you’re so big because you’re a celebrity? **** Hey put your head up.” and etc. They throw erasers at him and swear at him and stuff. This is pretty well known around the school. Some other delinquents 3 girls keep following him and take pictures and annoy him. They keep following him and trying to hold his hand and stuff.</em></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Treating people this way in general is completely unacceptable, whether or not they are idols. I hope people learn the meaning of 'personal space' and leave these more people alone. TaeMin♥!

He constantly cheats and plays with girls and can not stay faithful at any moment. Ella Koon plays his secretary, who basically just reminds him of news (of his stocks) and meetings he must attend. Due to an incident, the public suddenly think that he is no longer wealthy (except in reality he is still filthy rich) and he is left alone by all those who only wanted to be associated with him because of his money. Due to depression he drinks and ends up on the streets of a town where he meets Angel played by Angelababy. She appears only a few times to remind him that true happiness is found when you do good things for others and not from money. Along the way of the film, he still can not stay faithful and 'falls in love' with 3 different girls, (played by Race Wong, JJ, & Kate Tsui) one after the other with different personalites and problems. Lynn Hsiung, only makes a cameo appearance at the end of the film.<br /><br />Kari's Review:</div><div align="center">Definately a great movie to watch if you're just looking for a good laugh. The plot isn't too deep, just a bunch of random situations, and the ending just leaves you to giggle some more. Wong Cholam is as funny as ever, playing the role extremely well. As for the rest of the cast who were able to play their roles amazingly well, which really makes up the film. Though it overall seems like a Romantic Comedy, let's just leave it as Comedy with a bit more of Comedy.

I love a majority of these idols! (I admit, I don't know all of them ^^;;) Mayday continues to recieve tons of love! Yay, I understand many fans are giving them a big applaud for winning 'Best Band'! Biggest congratulations to Jay Chou for picking up the most awards, though he himself, did not attend. He is one of my major idols and inspirations. I know there's going to be quite the bashing from some people <s>that don't appreciate him</s> <a href="http://karinakajima.blogspot.com/2009/06/jay-chou-expecting-too-much.html">about what he had said earlier</a> before the day of the awards. Nevertheless, he proved through his talent and fans that he truly does deserve to be on top. Also because many K-Pop lovers visit this blog. Super Junior did attend the awards, though did not win anything. Can't say I expected them to, since they are oversea idols that are just trying to spread the Super Junior (M) love to China & Taiwan. Their performance at the awards was still amazing though! Once again, congrats to all of the artists!</div>Nakajima Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03190827960895664463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990378902667135724.post-27550937663631865242009-06-28T04:29:00.000-07:002009-06-28T04:36:46.534-07:00SM FTW!<p align="center"><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/97PJzAeu9w0&hl=en&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/97PJzAeu9w0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object></p><p align="center">SHINee wins Mutinez once again with their hit single 'Julliette'! While taking in the fact that they won again, they never forget to mention their how thankful they are of SM & Onew mentions 'Genie' && Key mentions 'Song for HIS So Nyuh Shi Dae'! I am seriously loving all this SM Family Love♥! (Recall Super Junior comforting their SHINee dongsaengs with their first win with 'Julliette'?) SM FTW♥!</p><p align="center">This led to more fans of SM as a whole. Many times people will only love so many groups from this company and dislike others. But now, people are starting to understand more and more that companies (every part of it) is a family. They all get along with each other and (love each other) are great friends. I'm sure most every company has this lovely feeling between their clients! </p><p align="center">SM Town♥SM Family</p>Nakajima Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03190827960895664463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990378902667135724.post-7518520333689661602009-06-28T04:00:00.000-07:002009-06-28T04:03:25.744-07:00Onew's Accident Will Not Go Unoticed!<p align="center">As shown in the photo is SHINee Onew being carried away by his manager after fainting during the filming of KBS Music Bank on 26th June.</p><p align="center">The accident happened during the filming that the light fixture at the show had felt, and Onew had fainted due to shock from it even though he did not suffer from major injuries.</p><p align="center">He was hospitalised but discharged again, reportedly back to his normal healthy state, and he also performed with SHINee members for MBC Music Core on 27th June.

But there are up till now no response from KBS side.</p><p align="center">I'm sure you've all heard of this news (for those of you who are K-Pop fans) without me having to post this. This was huge news to all fans of different groups. It puts into question how safe the stages truly are. And if not, fans are going to go into overprotection mode. & All this because Onew wanted to congratulate 9 of his nunas.

I mean, WG is amazing! But these performances didn't impress me. (Maybe because I've seen even more oustanding performances they've done before)? So Jonas Brothers fans can care less about WG. Can't blame them. If you bought a ticket to a concert who's main act was Super Junior and they put some random out of country artist that you didn't know about as the opening act, you can't say that you'd jump around like crazy and fan chant for them. So really, WG is off to a 'eh' start. Not getting much except from fans that already knew who they were in Korea and brought fancams. I'm not a hater, just speaking the truth. Hope to see them progress more in America♥</p>Nakajima Karihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03190827960895664463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990378902667135724.post-82547314732294661122009-06-28T03:31:00.001-07:002009-06-28T03:34:38.903-07:00Hikaru & Yabu Save The Day w/ Tears & Smile!<script type="text/javascript" src="http://uk.sevenload.com/pl/Q4npW15/500x314/0"></script><p>Link: <a href="http://uk.sevenload.com/videos/Q4npW15-HHS-2009-07-27-Live-Stage-Tears-and-Smile"><img src="http://static.sevenload.com/img/sevenload.png" width="66" height="10" alt="HHS 2009-07-27 Live Stage - Tears and Smile" /></a></p><br /><br /><center>With music by Yaotome Hikaru & lyrics by Yabu Kota. 2 of my boys returned and made my day!

But America doesn't want SoHee. Admit it, to us Americans, cuteness can only go so far without people thinking that person is fake and is actually doing drugs and drinking behind it all. Instead WG member YooBin seems to be winning the popularity vote, by looks and talent. Who can blame the majority? I love YooBin, she seems the most real. And you can't deny her rapping skills.

Also that HyoYeon would get more screen time. & Her mini solo dance makes the entire Genie performance complete♥ Also I was hoping for SooYoung to get a solo and she did!♥</p><p align="center">SNSD Jjang!
