Some More ~Myndless~ Ranting!

Tsk, tsk...
You know, it's really sad when fans really just stick to one fandom and not really care for any other.  It's a shame because those fans are missing out on alot of other talented groups.  I mean, you don't have to be full-fledged into them, but at least acknowledge other groups and give them the same respect that you would like your biased group to have.  Really...is that so hard to do?  It really irks me when I read off-the-sly insults from certain fans about other groups whether it be on various sites or on my own Twitter feed.  Heck, they even do it about other fans in their own fandom.  There is that famous saying: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".  *sigh*  I really don't know how much I can handle.  I came across one tweet on Twitter about 'elitist' fans, and it was like this:  "#NowadaysPeopleActLike they deserve something cause they're real fans of a celebrity or have been a fan since day1, Like, you want a cookie?"  To me, I find it really accurate.  How about any of you people?  Do you feel this way sometimes too? 

Akgae fans
I'm not sure if any of you have heard of this term, but 'akgae' literally translates to 'evil dog' in Korean.  These fans are only biased to one member in a group and pretty much have a dislike or bash the other members.  Now, I wouldn't confuse them with fans who actually like a whole group but have a bias in it.  ^^;;  When it comes to akgae fans, I haven't really heard much about them.  But it seems that Onew of SHINee had some pretty bad ones a while back.  Do you think you may have akgae fans within your own fandom if you're part of one?     

Somebody finally did it
Ever since the 'Just Dance' games came out, I thought it was a really cool idea!  Not only that, but it also gets you to do exercise and become a snazzy dancer.  Then I--and maybe many others--had a thought: "What if Kpop did something like 'Just Dance'?"  Then, it really happened.  Now you can dance to some of your favorite Kpop numbers!  \(^o^)/  I'm pretty sure that dancing to some of these songs would surely give you a workout....especially if there are any TVXQ songs on there.

Goodbye, Time Out Gelato

This is what the store looks like

Man~!  I'm upset that Time Out Gelato a.k.a. Yoochun's gelato store closed down.  I'm not exactly sure why though.  I really wanted to go there whenever I would make it to Korea and try out some of the flavors.  Alas, that won't be the case.  ;A;  Many fans came out on it's last day to enjoy the gelato one more time.  There were goods that were even being sold at half off.  To me, I don't understand why it'd close.  I thought it'd be doing well because of all the fans that come to visit.  On another note, Junsu's father's pizza shop had closed a good while back, and I was also sad because I wanted to visit that place too.  Ah, well... 

Until next time~!

  

Review: Last Friends...Oh, Boy...

A while back when I became more familiar with Johnny's artist, Ryo Nishikido--as well as making him a bias--I began watching a few dramas he's starred in.  At first it was a drama called 'Ino wo Kau to Iu Koto' (which I should also do a review for).  I was really watching for Junnosuke, but I did like how Ryo and the others acted their parts.  So, how did I get around to watching 'Last Friends'?  Well, it was because of one episode of a radio program that I listen to from time to time called 'Asian Pop Addict'.  They did a special where they "went back in time" to 2008, and they acted out how they used to be during that time.  They had made mention of Ryo and how his acting in 'Last Friends' was so good that it was scary.  I thought to myself: "Hey, why not check it out"?  So, during the summer of last year, I began watching it:

Last Friends Opening by levierge

 

I tell you, it might make you really upset--much like most dramas do.  This one is slice of life that goes through the issues of various people.  And the ladies who host 'Asian Pop Addict' were right...Nishikido did play his role really well.  You have the character Michiru and her boyfriend Sosuke who seem like a sweet couple on the surface...until she actually starts living with him.  Her friend, Ruka, is a girl who really has a love for motorcycling, but she also longs for a certain kind of freedom.  Ruka and Michiru--along with three others--start to live together and try to help each other with their issues as well as facing heir own. 

 

I started watching the first episode by myself, but because of the talking to my computer that I was doing, my sister watched the rest with me.  There are twelve episodes each running about an hour long.  So, if the introduction or my little synopsis has intrigued you, I suggest you check it out.  :D  Though I must warn you...you may end up hating Ryo after the first or second episode.  Dont' be too rough on him, okay?  XD
