Also, I didn't notice it was double elimination. Yeah some were quite difficult to choose.

That is the song list from the tour. Mr.Mr (japanese version)? Never knew there was one.

Found out Dramafever released an app for Samsung Smart TVs. Decided to try out their premium membership and I'm pretty satisfied with their content availability (can watch RM, Infinity Challenge, music shows, etc.). Only drawback is I think I need to queue up what I want to watch using my PC first since I can't browse their entire library on the app, but that's fine since the input lag on my TV is complete shit.

For just $10/month, I would get more use out of it than Netflix would in a year. Goodbye Netflix sub that I never use for more than like 2 hours a month.

Way to be rich Obake! Guess I'll know what using a smart TV feels like in a 5 or so years

Wow, got to feel sorry for BoA

Yeah, a lot of people said the movie was bad. Even BoA said in an article a while ago that she didn't really get why they casted her in the movie without any acting experience.

If it's like a Step It Up movie I'm going to watch just for all the awesome moves

[Anakso]

Wow you actually like Step it Up movies?

I guess I'm not surprised but they are just the worst kind of movies to me xD

[Kagdar]

The reviews on her movies are hilarious. One critic said something like "the dances parts are amazing, but the love story is so predictable and have been seen millions times"

Yea because if i go see a dance movie with BoA in it it's clearly for the love story... those critics, always focusing on stupid stuff. Like if they make a sequel to a movie ("this is the same thing as the last one!" duh if it's a sequel they aren't gonna re-invent the wheel. if the first movie worked they will make a 2nd similar movie.)

Well they're not amazing, but it's solid entertainment for 90minutes or so. They never fail to make me impressed by their moves either ^^

[Anakso]

Then I'd be branching out to genres I don't like though

From the Japanese artists I've seen, just not many good MVs. Although that Jane Doe song has a decent MV but not amazing.

And to be fair I think we have different MV standards given you linked me Japanese MVs you thought were good before and it was just perfume walking down a street in an unconventional way.

[Anakso]

God damn Takashi Minami is an AKB48 member.
That's how they get you! They have 1 member go off and be good.

Okay so watched the full Jane Doe MV..and it was..okay. It made zero sense though, 3 large body guards and all they could do to stop a tiny Japanese girl is adopt the sumo position and stand there looking uncertain.

[Anakso]

It was good for an SM MV but it wasn't amazing either.
Way better than that perfume MV though!

Amazing MVs to me have either something awesome happen in them (like a good story, those make the best MVs) or a message or just a strong theme.

[Kagdar]

Well most japanese MV i saw were pretty much just flashy scenes. Japan is more about the way things look than anything else.

[Anakso]

Well apparently my last.fm scrobbler bugged again so it hasn't been scrobbling stuff for the last week or so, so will fix this and then post xD

It's cached everything though so should still all get scrobbled when I fix it.

I love these rankings

Kalafina - to the beginning

[Anakso]

Oh and meant to say, good choreography is a nice addition to a MV but I would never consider a MV to be amazing based solely on the choreography and styling.

Never knew Kim Jong Kook spoke english and so well.
