The other lead song in handsome oppa boss’ new album. It means “pieces” in Spanish. The song is supposed to describe the complex emotions after a break up. I guess that’s also why the chosen heavier rock style to it. This song lived rent-free in my head for a few days. It just connected with my darker side. Coz yea,…

Winds of Time
I wanted to think and write about this back when it was pre-released, but I was trying to juggle with campaign work and then stuff happened that got me emotionally down. That’s how life is… I cannot stress how timely this song and its MV came at the time in my life where I’m struggling to hold on. At first…
When Will It Be My Turn?
I’ve known that people open group buys to buy albums to help increase their chance in scoring fansigns/fancalls. I happened to ask a Yeble one day roughly how many albums did she buy to score such things. Ok…not within my league. Which makes this whole system skewed. Only those who are financially able and willing to spend will get a…
‘Where We Are’ Concept Film
Handsome oppa boss released the concept video for his upcoming album and it has all the feels. Love the artistic feel to it coz as many Yebles have pointed out, it’s…so him. The slight loneliness, sadness, frustration?, quiet determination…all rolled into one. I don’t know but it gives me the “我所有的辛苦，谁会懂？Does anybody care anyway?” vibes. Coz “台上一分钟，台下十年功” People only see…
Kids and Fangirling
I’ve seen it at least three times now. A Taiwanese mum having to explain her stand with regard to her girls’ fangirling and feeling defeated each time. I gave it some thought as like her, I have two young girls and what if one day, my girls decided to fangirl as well. A bit of background information. This mum has…
Be Kind with Your Words
I’m not an ENGENE but I know the recent ongoings through threads. A Japanese fan, Mina committed suicide after being cyber bullied. Didn’t help that the idol was dragged into this mess as fans (or anti-fans?) blamed him for what happened coz he went on a live to address certain fan actions. Long story short, people linked what he said…
The Saddest Song Ever
I thought I had written before why I thought “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever. Seems not. So, here goes… There are so many sad songs out there, a good number on break ups and the aftermath, but this one is on longing. The longing to be with someone, to have someone to hold on to. My previous…
Lost Heart
Omg. I think I have found another (powerful) sad song. I’ve listened to it quite a few times, but I guess I never really paid close attention to it. The tune is nice as many Yebles will attest to. It’s handsome oppa boss Yesung’s “Corazón Perdido (Lost Heart)”. I have no idea why, but today I really LISTENED to it…
Because Pretty Things Don’t Last
Was listening to Olivia Lufkin’s songs, the inspi’ REIRA ones in particular. I’ve always said “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever, but really, all the inspi’ REIRA songs have a tinge of sadness to them even if they sound more rock. I guess they truly fit the character of Serizawa Reira and Olivia brings out the character really…
Sakihokoru Thoughts Part I
The purpose of this post is to share my thoughts on Yesung’s title track “咲き誇る時を待つのは” of his new Japanese album. I know I have been yapping a lot about Yesung lately, but this one is really not a result of my fangirl moments. I felt like he kept asking fans about the song and MV — what they thought about…
