Infinite – Destiny↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

Infinite’s one of those groups that I never got into knowing any of the members, but I like almost all their songs. Though this doesn’t surpass my favorites by them, it’s still a good song! MV isn’t anything too special. Version B? Is there another version? I only saw the “Making of” version on their channel.

BTS – We Are Bulletproof Pt 2↓↓↓
Category: Kpop/Hip Hop

Not bad, but I don’t really like the flow between their parts. The background beat is awesome though. Maybe it’ll grow on me? It just doesn’t seem that solid in my opinion.

Goni – Single↓↓↓
Category: Hip Hop

Catchy and I love this style. I’m not single though, so I can’t sing along haha ;o; I feel this is definitely a good anthem for people who are recently single, though.

TOXIC – Count Down↓↓↓
Category: Rock

omg, that guitar… That girl, Park Si Hyun, is really hot too, (not to mention the guys themselves)! I’m enjoying the vocal style here too.

Haje – 무더위↓↓↓
Category: Indie Rock

Amusing MV, haha! Makes me think of summer boredom.

BAP – Hurricane↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

Not bad. But why doesn’t it seem like their style…? Well, besides the whistle and Bang Yong Guk… lol
It almost… almost… has a SM Ent sound to it, in my opinion. I don’t dislike it, but I prefer some of their other songs a lot more.

LEDApple – Gimme Kimi Love↓↓↓
Category: Japanese

This is a really fun song! I like what Hanbyul does to his voice in this song.

Kim Ji Soo – Sleep 5 More Minutes↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

Such a lovely voice!

CNBlue – Lady↓↓↓
Category: Japanese

Kind of groovy.

Kim Hyun Joong – Unbreakable ft Jay Park↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

Jeeze, epic and full of swag! Haha, I like the imagery in the MV, (I’m a fan of fusion like this).

Henry and Seohyu – Trap (Violin/Piano version) http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/07/henry-and-seohyun-show-their-musical-prowess-with-a-piano-violin-version-of-trap↓↓↓
Category: Acoustic

Short, but lovely! Check it out… it’s worth it.

Kara – Thank You Summer Love↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

There’s a separate version for each member… so to save time, I’ll post this compilation of all of them for you and you can find the one you like best to watch yourself lol. It’s a really cutesy song.

Odd Eye – Follow Me↓↓↓
Category: String Pop

Somewhat dreamy or relaxing. I hope I’ll like this group more and more, haha.

B2ST – Shadow↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

I love the dark theme of the MV!

Miss $ – You Were Not The…↓↓↓
Category: Hip Hop?

Nice song. The MV is fairly creative, though we’ve seen that concept of making various things carry the lyrics of the song before. I can’t remember exactly where… maybe it was one of Kim Ye Rim’s videos? No, it was a guy singing, I think it was an indie group. I’ll have to get back to this later, haha.

SHINee – Boys Meet U↓↓↓
Category: Japanese

Wow, pure summer! This is such a perfect song for the season. I’m impressed.
~~Even though sometimes it looks like they’re stalking her haha.~~

A Pink – Secret Garden↓↓↓
Category: Kpop

Sweet overload! Pure and flowery. Why does it almost give me an old school vibe? Could be because they’re all singing together like that and keep doing the shiny eye thing at the camera, haha.

Goo Hye Sun – It’s You↓↓↓
Category: Ballad

Her voice is pretty here. Such a nice song.

HarryBigButton – Control↓↓↓
Category: Rock

Has an old school sound, which gives it a unique feeling haha.

CoreMagaZinE – Dance↓↓↓
Category: Rock

Nice beat! I love the vocals too. I couldn’t stop tapping my foot to this. The masks in the MV are kind of creepy haha.

Mohho Project – Westerlies↓↓↓
Category: Indie

Asian Chairshot – Mask Dance↓↓↓
Category: Rock

Interesting and kind of creepy MV. They sound good here too. Wish I knew more about what was going on, though! Any symbolism or cultural meaning is unfortunately lost on me… Is it about death?
