Lythicia's Kpop Collection

f(x)'s 2nd Album - Pink Tape

2013-08-08T07:29:00.000-07:00

I like the design of this album. It really looks like a cassette tape. Very nostalgic.

If this was a real movie, I'd watch it. Haha :P

Here's the inside.

Pretty pink. I normally don't like pink but for this album, I'll make an exception.

This is the photobook.

f(x) has a new member, Kai! Haha <3

Lots of JungLi photos, I see.

Ah, my KaiStal heart~ This is definitely my favourite photo.

This is a lovely page, don't you think so? :)

And.... we have Amber forever alone on the last page. Haha xD

I like the photobook but some of the captions are so deep, I couldn't understand them. :/

Here's the very cool looking disc.

Disc 1 - CD

01. Rum Pum Pum Pum
02. Shadow
03. Pretty Girl
04. Kick
05. Signal
06. Step
07. Goodbye Summer feat. D.O. of EXO

08. Airplane
09. Toy
10. No More
11. Snapshot
12. Ending Page

Oh my gosh, I can't express how much I love the songs in this album. I rarely ever like all songs in one album but I do for Pink Tape. f(x), you really outdid yourselves in this one. It's really hard for me to choose which one my favourite is as they're all awesome. I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick Rum Pum Pum Pum, Signal, Airplane and Snapshot.

Rum Pum Pum Pum: I like it the minute I listened to it.

Shadow: I like how it sounds. Very soothing song and unique too. Great harmonization.

Pretty Girl: I like the chorus part. Luna and Krystal's voices are amazing (Krystal's voice sounds like Jessica's especially near the ending. haha)

Kick: Makes you wanna dance during the instrumental part.

Signal: Has that 80s/90s feel that I really, really like. Thank you for bringing back the disco sounds, SM. :D

Step: Catchy 'na na na' part. Another nice song to dance to.

Goodbye Summer: A lovely ballad song about unsaid feelings. Featuring D.O was a great idea. Their voices go very well together. Probably the best song lyrically.

Airplane: It has a nice tune and a catchy chorus (come with me, airplane, love~). Also, I am in love with Amber's voice in verse 2. Thank you, SM for letting her sing more in this. Honestly I prefer her singing than rapping. Her voice is beautiful~ :)

Toy: Another catchy song. I like the Sulli and Krystal's intro and also the chorus. However, the only thing I did not like much is the random dub-step in the middle. Other than that, it's a good song.

No More: This song sounds so much like an SNSD song. I think this may be my least favourite but I still like it.

Snapshot: Do I need to say more? The intro is brilliant! I wish they would release an MV for this. I can imagine one something similar to SNSD's Paparazzi MV.

Ending Page: Great choice of song to end the album. I wish to watch them sing this live one day. f(x), please do a concert in Malaysia~

I seriously don't know how many times I've repeated the songs on my iTunes. This album deserves an award. It's so good, I'm about to cry. T_T

Got a beautiful Victoria photocard.

Here's the big poster that came along with the album.

If you're an f(x) fan, you should really buy this album. Trust me, it won't disappoint. Definitely one of my favourites Kpop albums. ^^

f(x)'s 2nd Mini Album - Electric Shock

2013-08-08T04:25:00.000-07:00

I always wanted this album since it came out. Electric Shock is like one of my favourite f(x) songs ever! Love it from the minute I watch the MV.

SM, again I ask, what is it with the random animals? And why on earth would you make them wear those horse/deer masks? I was confused so I googled the explanation and I found out that they are trying to convey a fairy tale through that album cover. Hmm, all I could see is a creepy album cover. Wouldn't it be better to make an album cover with I don't know.. an electric/electronic concept or something?

It gets creepier when I opened the album. The pedo-rabbit and pedo-bear are nowhere near the fairytale concept.

Scary..

Pedobear..

As if it's not already creepy..

That's actually a pretty cool pose, Amber.

I feel like cropping that bear..

Lyrics and credits.

As usual, I don't like the empty white and blank pages. But the pictures are okay (minus the animals). The girls are very pretty~

Disc 1 - CD

01. Electric Shock
02. Jet
03. Zig Zag
04. Beautiful Stranger
05. Love Hate
06. Let’s Try

I've always enjoyed f(x) songs since their debut. They're catchy. The songs in this album are no exception. All are great. As I have mentioned, I love Electric Shock (who doesn't?). Other than that, I also like Beautiful Stranger and Jet. :)

I was excited to see which member photocard I get, secretly hoping it'd be Krystal and....

Yippie! Got hers as my first f(x) photocard. So happy~ ^^

As for the posters, I already know which ones I get because the seller was selling it separately from the album and I chose these two.

Yes, Krystal is my bias if you don't already know. :)

2013-08-07T01:33:00.000-07:00

My albums arrived yesterday. Yay! ^^ Its been a while since I bought the last one.

I've always wanted this album so bad. One, because their TVXQ (obviously), second it contains the very first Kpop song I've ever listened to and third is because of the packaging. I just love box-type packages. <3

Its too bad there's no subtitles for the DVD. It's quite long but I don't understand anything, so I kinda fast forward it a lot. :( The video quality is not that great either, probably because this came out a long time ago. It's okay though. You can still watch their great performances and music videos. :)

The content and lyrics.

The pack of cards. So cute~

Aww, aren't they adorable? I love their costumes. Especially Yunho's. :D

TVXQ concert banner

2013-05-20T02:14:00.000-07:00

This was given to me during the concert to show our support for TVXQ. :)

Falling for Max/TVXQ! Fly High! towel

2013-05-20T02:03:00.000-07:00

Someone dropped this during the night of the TVXQ concert and the owner was nowhere to be found. So I took it. I felt kinda guilty and sorry for taking it. Honestly, I would give it back to the owner if he/she came back for it that time but he/she didn't. So.. whoever the owner was.. thank you? I guess. Don't worry, I'll take very good care of this baby. :)

TVXQ Catch Me Concert in KL + TVXQ & Jaejoong Notebook

2013-05-20T01:48:00.000-07:00

Went to TVXQ's Catch Me Live Concert in KL last Saturday. I bought the Premium Rock Zone ticket so I got to see them up close.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I saw them right in front of my eyes!

As cliché as it sound, it was a dream come true. The first ever Kpop group I fell in love with was standing and singing right in front of me. It's a pity we can't see the other 3. It would've been the most perfect concert ever. But I enjoyed it nevertheless. They're really tall and handsome. I think I died a few times during the concert. lol

Some of their eye contacts from my videocam.*squeeks*

Bought these notebooks from the stalls near the stadium, 3 for RM10. Just simply can't resist.

Instead of plastics, the seller gave me this super cool paper bag. I love love LOVE it!

Probably one of my favourite items right now. <3

I Am: SMTOWN Live World Tour in Madison Square Garden DVD

2013-03-05T06:47:00.000-08:00

I've been wanting this DVD for so long. Finally I bought it.

This is the photobook.

A pretty normal photobook with some photos of SM artists.

I was more excited for this, the DVD.

I really like the packaging.

Look, how cool is that? :)

Disc 1 - DVD
I AM : SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR in Madison Square Garden 2011

I immediately watched this documentary after the box arrived. However after finishing, I was a bit disappointed. This documentary basically shows the life journey of the idols, including their pre-debut days (which is quite enjoyable to watch). Some parts like Ryeowook's and Jonghyun's part did brought me to tears. You can see how hard they work to become artists. Overall the movie is good but I'm sad that they left out TVXQ debut moment. I'm guessing it has something to do with the JYJ incident but still.. I was really expecting to see more of them. :(

Disc 2 - I AM Special Features
01. New York Diary
02. What's Your Color?
03. TVXQ! Their Story
04. Showcase Highlight
05. Music Video "Dear My Family"
06. Making of Music Video
07. Teaser Trailer 1
08. Teaser Trailer 2
09. Original Trailer

This DVD did not have subtitles (why??), so I don't really understand anything their saying. But still I find it very enjoyable to watch especially the New York Diary. They showed them walking on the streets, some rehearsal performances and backstage footage. Sighs, how I wish I was there to see them.

Thank you, SM for including their performances during the Live Tour at MSG. Glad I could watch it on screen now despite not being able to attend the concert. Wearing headphones while watching it just makes it so much enjoyable (I put it on high volume too).

Overall, as an SM artists fan, I am happy with this DVD. I just wish they'd put the subtitles on Disc 2.

SHINee's 3rd Album - Chapter 1 ‘Dream Girl: The Misconceptions of You’

2013-03-04T23:53:00.000-08:00

SM, why do you have to divide the album into two? (as if I'm not already broke). Sob2..

I somehow like the weird and unique cover.

A pretty normal SM packaging, where you have the CD on the left and the photobook on the right.

Disc 1 - CD

01. Spoiler

02. Dream Girl

03. Hitchhiking

04. Punch Drunk Love

05. Girls, Girls, Girls

06. Aside

07. Beautiful

08. Dynamite

09. Runaway

There are some good songs in this album, but honestly, non of these stand out for me except for Dream Girl. I was expecting more from them. Their previous album tracks are far better.They seem to be going for the 80s type of songs, which is actually one of my favourite genres but not for these songs. I'm sorry.

Now, moving on to the photobook.

I don't know, I'm not really liking the pictures either. Wow, I'm starting to sound like an anti, which I'm not, trust me. I love SHINee. I mean, some pictures are okay but there are those blurry/pixelated photos on some pages which I really don't like. They did this photoshoot for hours, you'd think they would choose the better ones. Not to mention those typical empty white borders. And what is up with the random animal in every group's album? Like, how is the horse related with the album as a whole? =_= (but it's a cute horse nevertheless)

As for the photocard, I got Onew's again. Sighs, I was hoping I could get other member's photocard since I already got his.

I guess one of the only things I'm satisfied with this album is the poster. Its huge. :)

Overall, I have to say that I was disappointed with this album. It just didn't live up to my expectation. I hope Misconception of Me will be better.

TVXQ's 6th Album - Catch Me (CD+DVD) (Special Edition)

2013-01-23T10:49:00.000-08:00

Ordered this baby from Valoa Records Blogshop. Very nicely packaged. And fast shipping too. Thumbs up! :)

I was really looking forward to unbox this album because of the photocards (there are 4 in this one).

Let me just say that I so love the packaging. It's quite big. Kinda has that high class look too with the use of the black and gold colour. It just makes you feel proud to own one. :) And unlike their other albums, this one is made up from some sort of fabric material(?). Not sure what it's called but its soft and feels very nice when you touch it.

Besides that, they also added this cool hologram feature on the front of the album package, where it changes back and forth from Yunho to Changmin.

So there are two albums inside. One is the CD and the other DVD. Lets go through the CD first (or the red album)

So we have the hologram thing again on the back and front of the album and also on the inside. But the outer ones are slightly creepy though.

I wonder, why dogs? And why the scary ones? :/

This is how it looks when you opened it. The page on the right has the hologram too.

As usual, there's the lyrics and some photos of the boys (and the dog).

Disc 1 - CD

01. Catch Me

02. Viva

03. Destiny

04. Like A Soap

05. I Don't Know (Korean Version)

06. Dream

07. How Are You

08. Getaway

09. I Swear

10. Gorgeous

11. Good Night

Pretty much the same tracks as the repackaged album minus Humanoids and Here I Stand.

Moving on to the DVD.

Creepy~

Some photos with the dog again.

Disc 2 - DVD

01. Catch Me Music Video (Original Version)

02. Catch Me Music Video (Dance Version)

03. TVXQ! Special Interview

04. Jacket Making Clip

05. Music Video Making Clip

Love the MVs but it's a shame that there's no subtitles for the interviews, especially for someone who doesn't understand Korean like me. But that's okay. Still get to see those handsome faces. :)

Besides the albums, there's also these two message cards.

Alright, time for the photocards. I was expecting two group photocards and one of each Yunho and Changmin photocards.

Got two group cards and two Yunho cards. lol, I seem to be lucky when it comes to getting Yunho's photocard. I already got four of his cards.

These are the posters that came along with the album. Not really liking the pictures though. Why do they have to cover those faces? :/ But the posters are pretty huge.

That's it for this album. Since this includes both the CD and DVD, it will cost more. I'd say, if you're a big fan, then this won't disappoint. :)

SNSD's 4th Album - I Got A Boy (Group Version)

2013-01-17T10:34:00.000-08:00

This is the 3rd album I bought along with SHINee's Lucifer and TaeTiSeo's Twinkle albums. Cost me RM62. I got the Group version album because I figured its better to have all the members in a photobook rather than buying the individual member's version. Though I have to admit, after I unboxed this album, I was thinking of getting Tiffany and Yoona's version as well. Haha.. Maybe when I have enough money. Have to save some in case they release a repackaged album.

I love the design. Very simple but unique. I like how each member have their own colour. Its probably more beautiful when you buy the whole set. Then you'll have a set of colourful albums. :)

This album has that hard cardboard box which I really like.

There's a hard protective case which covers the photobook inside. You can slide it out easily.

I like the logo sticker on the case.

The 40-page photobook.

As expected, the quality of the paper is good.

Gosh, I love all the photos but why is Hyoyeon's picture from a further distance than the rest? I wish her's was a close up shot as well. :(

The CD at the back is protected by a transparent cover with the all the members' pictures on it. (seriously, who's the album designer? lemme love you~)

Disc 1

01. I Got a Boy

02. Dancing Queen

03. Baby Maybe

04. Talk Talk

05. Promise

06. Express 999

07. Lost in Love

08. Look at Me

09. XYZ

10. Romantic St.

At first I didn't really like I Got A Boy but like many other songs, after listening to it many times, I got addicted. Dancing Queen is okay for me. If you ask me, I prefer Dancing Queen more than Duffy's Mercy. The rest of the songs are also good but if I have to pick a favourite, I'd say Baby Maybe. Very soothing and love the verses.

Its unfortunate that this album doesn't come with a photocard. I'm sure if SM put photocards, more people would buy the albums. But SNSD has many loyal fans who would buy their album no matter what, so...

Here's the poster of the album. Its quite small. I think its the same size as their Mr. Taxi's poster (correct me if I'm wrong).

As a fan, I'd say this album is worth it. The unique packaging makes up for the small poster and no photocard problem. :)

Girls' Generation - TaeTiSeo's 1st Mini Album - Twinkle

2013-01-17T09:32:00.001-08:00

Sumgyeo do twinkle eojjeona?

Bought this for RM62 and its one of the albums I bought along with SHINee's Lucifer.

First I would like to say that I really like the packaging of this album. There's a PVC box to cover the insides, which you can easily slide it off and take the inside box out.

And I so, so love the box of the album. Its hard and it feels like a very high quality box (which I'm sure it is). If I'm not mistaken, SNSD's Repackaged album of the Boys (Japanese) is also using these type of cardboard boxes (one of the reason why I want that album so bad! but I'm broke D:)

There's no photobook but there are some cards with their pictures on it. I like the kaleidoscope type pictures. Ahh, all three of them are so pretty~

There's another booklet where the CD is in, along with the lyrics and credits.

Disc 1
01. Twinkle
02. Baby Steps
03. OMG (Oh My God)
04. Library
05. Good-bye, Hello
06. Love Sick
07. Checkmate

Personally, I think Twinkle is a great song and SM chose the right girls to sing it. All three of them are amazing. My favourite track from this album is Baby Steps. Absolutely LOVE it. Been replaying it since 4 hours ago. Haha.. The rest are not bad as well. :)

Again, lets go back to the main purpose I bought this album. Photocard~

I actually don't really mind with whoever's card I get but I was secretly hoping for Tiffany (top bias currently). And guess who got lucky again today...?

Haha, I must be dreaming. Its just too good to be true that I got both photocards I wanted in one day. <3 (this is the second Tiffany card I got). This is probably my favourite photocard so far. So pretty~

Here's the poster that came along with the album.

This is one great album if you ask me. The packaging and design is great, the songs are amazing and there's a photocard/poster included. The girls look good too (even with the wigs). Fans who haven't bought it yet, I suggest you do. It won't disappoint. :)

SHINee's 2nd Album - Lucifer (Version A)

2013-01-17T08:39:00.000-08:00

Hooray, 3 albums arrived today! The seller was really fast to ship this. I just made the payment yesterday and I received it this afternoon. Awesomeness! :D

*fragile*

Very nicely packaged. All my babies are safe. :)

One of the albums I bought was SHINee's Lucifer (Ver. A). I said before I wanted to buy this and here it is. Cost me around RM56.

I kinda like the cover of the album. Can't say I like much about the inside because from what I heard the pages inside can be easily ripped off if you don't be careful with them.

Some of the pictures in the album. Ahh, Minho's abs~

Disc 1

01. UP & DOWN
02. Lucifer
03. Electric Heart
04. A-Yo
05. Obsession
06. Quasimodo

07. Shout Out
08. WOWOWOW
09. Your Name
10. Life
11. Ready or Not
12. Love Pain
13. Love Still Goes On

I heard all of the songs already since I have their Hello Repackaged album. So my favourites are pretty much the same; Lucifer, A-Yo, Quasimodo and Ready or Not. :)

Now to the main reason why I bought the album.... THE PHOTOCARD~

I was keeping my fingers crossed while flipping through the pages, hoping I would get Minho's card because he's my favourite member. And guess what?

I GOT HIS CARD! <3 (OMG)

I was literally jumping around while squeaking like a fangirl (trying not to scare my housemates) lol. This is the first Minho card I got. Hopefully I will get more of him in their future albums. :)

That's basically it for this album. Unfortunately I didn't get the poster for this one. The seller is selling it separately from the album and I have to add RM15 for the poster. I'm thinking of buying it some other time along with the other official posters I haven't got.

TVXQ's 6th Album - Humanoids (Repackaged)

2013-01-15T06:04:00.000-08:00

Okay, so its been a while since I bought the last album. To be honest, I kind of lost interest in Kpop songs nowadays. But you know, SM Ent. never fails to pull me back into the Kpop world. :/ Anyways, a package just arrived this afternoon and its my TVXQ - Humanoids album. Yay!

The side is a little bit bent, but its still fine. The album is quite big and heavy (just the way I like it).

I absolutely LOVE the photobook in this album. The quality of the paper, the large size and the 2 hot guys in the photos. <3

Disc 1

01. Humanoids
02. Catch Me
03. Here I Stand
04. Viva
05. Destiny
06. Like a Soap
07. I Don't Know (Korean ver.)-
08. Dream
09. How Are You
10. Getaway
11. I Swear

12. Gorgeous
13. Good Night

There's quite a lot of songs in this repackaged album. I listened to all of the song just now and so far I like the two main songs, Humanoids and Catch Me, a lot. I Don't Know as well because I listened to the Japanese version quite often. I also like their slow songs like How Are You and I Swear (reminded me of the old DB5K songs..sighs). I noticed there's a lot of electronic/dubstep songs in this album. Actually not a big fan of those type of songs but for TVXQ, I'll make an exception.

Hooray, I got Yunho's photocard! This is the 2nd Yunho card I own. I have yet to get Changmin's.

And here is the poster. Its really huge. :D

Overall, for a RM83 album, I'd say this is worth buying especially for TVXQ fans. You would definitely love this. :)

EXO-K's 1st Mini Album - MAMA

2012-04-18T08:14:00.001-07:00

Finally, my EXO-K's mini album has arrived! This album is surprisingly light. Really love the design. Its quite unique. And whoever made that EXO logo is genius! :)

I mostly like the back cover of the album. It has all the song names, which is not really obvious unless you look real close (can you see it? ^^)

Another thing that makes this album unique is the inside part. This is basically what it looks like.

As you can see, the paper that covers the CD and photobook is also the shape of their logo. Brilliant! There's also the lyrics on the paper.

So, moving on to the photobook. Here's the front and back cover.

To be honest, the main reason I want this album is because of the random photocard inside. And I know it was inside the photobook. I was really excited to see who I got. I don't really care who because I like all the members in EXO-K but I honestly never thought that I could get the group photocard. And its not EXO-K's photocard but the whole group's photocard! (HAPPIEST DAY EVER!)

I love the picture very much. Kinda reminds me of Super Junior a bit (because of the number of people).

So inside the photobook there are a lot of decent photos of the boys. :)

Apart from the photobook, there's also the CD (of course). Again, we can see the EXO logo on the CD cover, along with the credits at the back of the cover. On the CD itself we can see the EXO logo again and the tracklist as well.

Disc 1 - CD

01. MAMA

02. What Is Love

03. History

04. Angel

05. Two Moons (feat. SHINee's Key)

06. Machine

I love the first 4 songs in this album. History is my favourite because it was the first EXO song I got addicted to. MAMA is addicting as well after listening to it many times. What Is Love is a great ballad song (love D.O.'s and Baekhyun's voices). And Angel is just so nice to listen to. Been repeating these songs for the past few hours. <3

There's also a poster included.

Overall, I think this is a pretty good album. But don't expect much from it because its just a small album.

SHINee's 4th Mini Album - Sherlock (Minho Cover)

2012-04-04T10:11:00.001-07:00

This album arrived just this afternoon and I'm loving it! This cost me RM65 (including shipping) and I got myself a Minho version. He looks hot but I don't really like his hair. Why can't it be the normal short hair he has now? T_T Anyways, I still like it nonetheless.

So this album has 6 photobooks (one of each member and another one is the group photobook).

I think this is their best mini album so far (well, I haven't actually got any of their previous mini album) but I don't think any of their mini albums have these separate member photobooks concept (correct me if I'm wrong).

So lets move on to the photobooks one by one. First off, Minho! (~~oh Minho, you sexy beast~~)

Next, our sexy diva Key!

Jonghyun! (I think he has the best photos in this album <3)

Moving on to Taemin! (I have to be honest, I feel kinda awkward looking at his photos =_=)

And lastly, our leader Onew!

Love love love these pictures. The only think I don't like is that some of the pages are blank (SM, you could've put some extra pics there or just reduce the paper rather than just making it plain white =_=)

So the last photobook is the group one.

Inside the photobook, we also have the CD itself, a mini sticker, an advertisement paper and the trading card.

As you can see, I got Onew's card. Not that I'm not happy about it, its just that I was hoping it would be a Minho or the group's trading card. :/

Disc 1 - CD

01. Sherlock.(Clue+Note)

02. Clue

03. Note

04. Alarm Clock

05. The Reason

06. Stranger

07. Honesty

Seriously, I love all the songs in this album. At first I didn't really like Sherlock but after a while, I got addicted to it (SM always have that kind of power). I think mixing Clue & Note together was brilliant! I also like Honesty. That song is really soothing~

This album comes with a poster. Since I got Minho's version, so obviously I got Minho's poster.

*faints*

2011 Winter SMTOWN - The Warmest Gift (Gold Cover)

2012-04-04T09:10:00.003-07:00

Got this for RM65 (including shipping). I really like the colour. It kinda gives an exclusive look to the album, don't you think? Anyways, moving on.

The inside of the album. There's a CD, photobook and a mini photocard.

All the songs are good but you know, some of them have a little bit of problem with the pronunciation so it might sound a bit awkward. But if you're an SM fan like me, I suggest you buy it because its a great album (got get it for Christmas this year!). Plus the photos are really good too!

My handsome Dong Bang boys <3

Btw, I just noticed this. They actually put the word 'Gift' in many different languages on the back of the album. I was surprised to see the word 'Hadiah' there. Haha..

Here's the poster that came along with the album. Its quite big.

Super Junior's 5th Album - Mr. Simple (Version A) (Sungmin Cover)

2012-04-04T08:55:00.000-07:00

This album is pretty big! Why can't TVXQ's album be that big? :( Anyways, this cost me RM65 (including shipping) and I got Sungmin's cover because well, if you can't already tell, he's my favourite member in Super Junior. And I'm glad his background colour is blue~ :D

The inside of the album, which is really... plain? Haha.. Its basically just Sungmin's face and you have the CD right on the left.

Disc 1 - CD

Truthfully, I haven't listen to this album because I haven't had the time.

Inside the album you also get some big photocards of each members and of course, 1 photocard for the lyrics, credits and stuff.

Oh gosh, I don't think I can ever get pass Siwon's pictures. 0_o

This album is real colourful! Haha.. And btw, I heard they stopped printing out this album already. Thank God I bought it while they're still selling it.

Here's what the poster looks like. Its really, really huge. :)

JYJ's In Heaven Album (CD+DVD) (Special Edition)

2012-04-04T08:29:00.002-07:00

One of my favourite albums. Probably because of the casing. Its hard but it feels soft (don't know if that makes any sense). This cost me RM90 including shipping (I'm broke....). Actually wanted to buy their normal In Heaven album but I couldn't find the red colour album. :/

The inside of the album. Really love the design. So there are two discs and a photobook.

Disc 1 - CD

01. Get out

02. In Heaven

03. Fallen Leaves

04. The Boy’s Letter

05. Mission

06. I.D.S

07. Pierrot

08. You’re

09. Nine

10. A Song Without A Name

11. Get out (Remix)

12. In Heaven (Remix)

Disc 2 - DVD

01. Get Out (M/V Original Ver.)

02. Get Out (M/V Terser Ver.)

03. Get Out (Making Film)

04. In Heaven (M/V Original Ver.)

05. In Heaven (M/V Full Ver.)

06. In Heaven (Making Film)

07. QR Movies Full Ver.

08. QR Movies Making Film

This is basically why I like this album. It has their MVs and 'Behind the Scenes' and all that. I really love In Heaven and Get Out. ^^

And another reason why this album is one of my favs is the photobook.

See, this hairstyle suits Yoochun the best! :D

They all look so good in the photos. <3

The poster. Love it! :D

JYJ's The Beginning Album (New Limited Edition)

2012-04-04T08:02:00.000-07:00

Bought this for RM90 (including shipping). Yeah, kinda expensive. Actually almost all JYJ albums are expensive. :(

The inside of the album. There's a CD (which have no pictures on it.. just plain silver) and a photobooklet.

Disc 1 - CD

01. Intro

02. Ayyy Girl feat. Kanye West & M. Yusef

03. Empty

04. Be My Girl

05. Still in Love

06. I Love You feat. Flowsik

07. I Can Soar

08. Be The One

09. Ayyy Girl - S. Tiger Remix (Bonus Track)

10. Empty - DJ EON Remix (Bonus Track)

So the songs are basically the same as their normal The Beginning album (which I don't have yet) but they added in 2 remixes as their bonus tracks. My favourite from this album would have to be 'Be My Girl'. I don't know why but I love that song so much. Much better than 'Ayyy Girl'. I don't get why they chose that song to promote. =_=

The photobook (perhaps the only reason why I bought this album. :/). The quality is great and the pictures are too.

*melts*

Yoochun ah, that hair doesn't really suits you. T_T

SNSD's 3rd Album - The Boys

2012-04-02T02:41:00.002-07:00

Finally, I get to see my SNSD's The Boys album. Definitely better then the Mr. Taxi version. I really love the tin casing.

I got Seohyun's trading card! Not one of my favourite members but I like her nonetheless.

A very cool looking CD.

Disc 1 - CD

01. The Boys

02. Telepathy

03. Say Yes

04. Trick

05. How Great is Your Love

06. My J

07. Oscar

08. Top Secret

09. Lazy Girl

10. Sunflower

11. Vitamin

12. Mr. Taxi(Korean Ver.)

They have some really nice songs but so far my favourites are Trick and Telepathy. Their slow songs such as How Great is Your Love is also nice. :)

These are the photocards, credits and lyrics.

Some photos are kinda weird (lol) but I still prefer these than the Mr. Taxi's photocards.

Overall, great album especially the casing! Love it! This album also comes with some posters, but the seller who I ordered from gave me SNSD's Mr. Taxi poster instead of The Boys. I'm quite disappointed because I was anticipating which member poster I will get. :(
