KPOP Friday

Happy Friday and happy birthday weekend to my friend Marla Weinstein.


This week's KPOP Friday song is Big Bang's "Tonight". Big Bang is a five member Korean boy band. Two of their members (G-Dragon and TOP) recently released a duet album, "High High", that I have been blogging about (because I am in love with TOP). But this week I want to focus on Big Bang as a whole, considering they are probability the most popular Korean male group in the world.



Big Bang recently came back into the Korean music scene after a two year hiatus with the 2011 release of their newest EP "Tonight". It was extremely well received in the Korean and global music community a like. This new album became the first KPOP album to reach the top ten on the US iTunes charts and is the only non Enligh album in the top 100. It looks like Big Bang may be the front running in the global domination of KPOP!


I like the music video for "Tonight" because it looks like they are in America (I think Vegas area). It is interesting to see KPOP blending with American trends and I think we are going to see a lot more of it in the near future.

Enjoy Big Bang's newest hit song "Tonight".

Domo-Domo I Love! ♥








The truth is i've been loking for the name of this super cute monstie for a longggggg time! It was last night that I finally came to know what is this cute monstie called. It's Domo-Kun!! The square-shaped, brown monster with sharp teeth that hates cats a lot is a famous japanese manga! Comellll!!! ;)







Domo-Domo mengamuk! Sama macam fatinshafira yang suka mengamuk! *Hee*

"My name is Domo. I am afraid of nothing!!"





Domo hates cats. They are simply annoying :P







Senang gila nak lukes :P







DOMO-DOMO





You are beyond the valley of cuteness!! Can I have my own Domo-Kun pleaseee?? *bat eyelashes*










Domo-kun (どーもくん)

Domo-kun is a Japanese animation character that I have grown to love during my time here in Korea.Domo-kun is offically the mascot for Japan's national broadcast corporation NHK, however; he is also the star of his own 30 second animation sketches also shown on NHK.

This is the first episode of Domo to ever be shown.


According to wikipedia, Domo-kun is a strange creature that hatched from an egg. His favorite food is Japanese style meat and potato stew. He hates apples (because of a mystery in his DNA) and he can only communicate with low pitched noises that sounds similar to his name. Domo-kun also is known to pass gas when he get nervous.


His best friends are a rabbit named Mr.Usaji, an old man named Grandpa and two bats named Maya and Mario.


Domo-kun's offical motto is "I am curious about everything and I get excited and thrilled everyday."


Domo-kun has recently become extremely popular in many Asian countries and the popularity is moving towards America. According to NHK, over 90% of Japanese school children recognize Domo-kun and I would believe the same statistic is true for Korean students. At least two students in every one of my classes has a Domo-kun pencil case.


All of this information pretty much points at one thing. I am Domo-kun. We share a lot of the same traits and habits. I am allergic to apples and I usually live my life by the same motto ("I am curious about everything and I get excited and thrilled everyday"). Our one difference is that I DO NOT pass gas when I am nervous.


Therefore, I have adopted the nickname Domo and I now collect Domo-kun memorabilia.


I now own a notebook, stationary, a cellphone charm, a camera case, stickers and a pillow.



Big name companies in America, like Target and 7Eleven, have even tried to take on Domo-kun as their own to enhance their advertising campaigns.
Check out 7Eleven's Domo-kun TV spots.



Check out Target's Halloween Domo-kun TV spot.



Since Domo-kuns birth on Japanese TV, there has been many new aminations created for his English market. Here are two episodes, Headphones and Camera. Both episodes do a good job at showing his curious and happy nature.





The end of this story is that I love Domo and I am pretty much the same person as him. Get ready America becuase I am bringing him back with me from Asia.
