JYPE’s current status as a ‘Big 3′ company?

In life, there are things that are usually more popular than others. People, events and even trends. In the music industry, this happens quite often with idols and artists being more successful than others and their companies given the spotlight too. In K-Pop, I think it’s the opposite where most fans focus upon the label of where the idols came from. The Big 3 companies (SM, JYP and YG) are an example of this being the most popular music labels in Korea.

After reading this article, I’ve noticed JYPE in the last few years has been in the decline. It used to be my favourite label of idols but 2PM and Wonder Girls are the only groups I like. Even these groups are slowly becoming irrelevant and the fault is in JYP and the company. Home to creating stars such as Rain, Wonder Girls and g.o.d, it looks like JYP may lose its reputation as a Big 3 company to other competitors. Well, at least that’s the way I see it.

So now you guys want to hear about the Kyary concert right? People have been waiting! Different people have different experiences so I’m going to tell you what I thought about the concert.

What’s your purpose as a YouTube dancer?

Note: This article relates to YouTubers who do dance covers to Asian Pop.

After reading Nia’s Wonderland post about YouTube idols, I felt that I should write a similar article regarding the topic. But then the article developed observation of people who do dance covers and the – let’s say – typical issues with it.

We all fit into the fandom in our own ways because of our participation in the fandom. I find that blogging and doing dance covers is something that I have become accustomed to, dancing especially. However because of my growing responsibilities with family and university, I’ve had less time to learn and have fun doing dances. In my absence, I started viewing other YouTube dancers, subscribed to a few and left some advice. But I’m always so conflicted whenever I watch a dance cover whether they should be fun or whether people actually care about improving their skills.

Dub vs Sub

Is sub better than dub? Can people really be that irritated by how a character’s voice is? Voice acting is important for an audience to grow fond of a character whether it be in a game, film or an anime. When it comes to asking people what do they prefer when it comes to dub or sub, the answer is commonly subbed and the reason is because their voices sound less whiny and better in Japanese.

Game Freak, what is Pokémon X and Y?

Hearing about this a few hours ago, I had to give my opinion about this announcement. As much as I love Pokémon, I was so disappointed at first in this decision. All I wanted was a Ruby/Sapphire remake yet they have decided to make a 3DS game instead. I had a feeling this would come out one day but man, not now.

Food from other cultures

Living in London I am surrounded by many cultures bringing their cuisines to the capital and sharing them with others. Being British and having a Jamaican background, there is a variety of food I can recommend. Also being a lover of Japanese and Korean food, I can offer a few suggestions to try. I want to present three dishes from each culture: Meat, Seafood and Vegetarian.

I think it’s pretty cute so I wanted to share it with you all! After taking a look at Nia’s Hope and Dreams for 2013, I thought I would do my own plus share with you all my New Year Resolutions since we are all in the new year now.

Best & Worst of 2012: End of Year Review

Oh look guys! We aren’t dead – as I expected! Apparently it’s been delayed to 2015 now!

Anyways, after the 2009, 2010 and 2011 yearly posts, here is the long awaited 2012 one. But these days, I have no idea what is the best, I can see more things are the worst.

Kyary is coming to the city of London!

I hope you all have O2 priorities to get your tickets now because come Friday/Saturday (not sure when people without priority can get it), they are likely to be gone. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is coming to London!
