Yeah, after the FBI trolled everyone by removing Megaupload, all of the other direct
download sites suck ass except for Mediafire, but there's no way I'd spend my time
downloading 8 separate files lol.

I don't like MNet Countdown either since the sound system they use is so bad, but I do
watch it if a girl group I like is promoting on there lol.

Really, the only thing I've done in the past week is listen to music and watch some
dramas. I read 70 pages of a book one morning while watching Inkigayo last week, but
haven't done much reading since then.

BoA - Implode

BoA's making a comeback in August and I can't wait. Anyway, probably won't be doing much
tomorrow since I'm taking the ASVAB.

That reminds me. I watched the two Running Man episodes recently that featured BoA and I honestly wouldn't have recognized her without the name being spoken / displayed. She looked quite different from when she was performing Hurricane Venus / Dangerous / Copy and Paste. She looked a lot younger during Running Man than she did last I saw her perform on music shows. I'm not sure if it was the difference in hairstyle / color or what.

On that topic: Do you have any song suggestions among BoA's Japanese releases?

The makeup for Hurricane Venus made her look ten years older lol.

Wow, there's a lot of good BoA songs.

Dakishimeru, Meri Kuri, Winter Love, Listen To Your Heart, Valenti, Do The Motion, Bump Bump, Eien, Mamoritai, the Love Bug (with m-flo), Bad Drive (watch a live performance of this song), etc. If you need more recommendations after you check those out, just ask. BoA's my favorite, so there's plenty to recommend lol.

Started up Japanese again. For a while, I thought Jpop was dead. Okay, it still is since the idols there are so terrible, but some of my favorite artists started releasing music again and I found a couple of new artists that I like.

Japanese will still be secondary to Korean though. Now that I don't rely on Anki anymore, studying Japanese won't be a problem anymore.

It's good to see you reviving Japanese again. Being off-work today slightly derailed my plans for 5 Pimsleur Japanese lessons this week (since I use my commute for the follow up passes), but it has done wonders for my Korean since I added 10 Hanja cards, added 31 한국어 cards, watched several Korean shows, and read some from 노인과 바다.

I haven't delved very far into Japanese music yet, but I'm sure I will. Currently there are only 3 Japanese songs I find myself intentionally listening to on my MP3 player: KARA - Go Go Summer, KARA - Jet Coaster Love, and AKB48 - Beginner. I haven't had a chance to check out the BoA songs you listed previously, but I will soon. Of course, it would probably be wise of me to move toward Japanese music sung by native Japanese singers, as well...ㅎㅎㅎ That said, the only "native" Japanese music I have currently is AKB48 and Amuro Namie and most of those songs haven't really caught my interest other than "Beginner" as I noted above. I could try watching Japanese music shows but I barely seem to find the time to watch the Korean ones often enough to stay less than a month behind.

I've been tempted to try dropping the SRS for Spanish to see if that is enough to breathe some life back into it. However, I still find it very useful for Korean and Japanese (though it probably helps that I have plenty of motivation for those two languages). Then again, it could just be the source material (Assimil) that is sapping my interest for Spanish more so than the SRS.

I'm curious, why do you think the idols there are terrible :)?
