Music: *Spotlight* – Epik High

(From left to right) Mithra, Tukutz & Tablo

I love this group.

Epik High is probably one of the most talented rap groups in South Korea today.  Consisting of three members, Epik High has also been around for a great deal of time.

They have released seven albums and have worked on several projects and they have already started working on another album that is supposedly set to release sometime this year.

They never fail to stop pleasing their fans and seem to have a huge connection with them as well.

The three members, Tablo, Mithra Jin, & DJ Tukutz, have all come from very great backgrounds and express their talent in every album they release.

The album that caught my attention was Remapping the Human Soul, songs that have made them exceptionally popular not just in Korea, but around the world as well and their lyrics are very inspirational and intelligent, representing a struggling society not only in Korea but in many other places as well.

A couple of songs that I would recommend anyone listening to if they are interested in this group would be as follows:

“Flow”

“I Remember”

“High Skool”

*My favorite* “Paris” (Give it a listen…)

“Your Pieces”

“Slow Motion”

[MV] BoA featuring Daichi Miura – Possibility

I will be honest. I’ve never given BoA the time of day, because she is an artist that never really stood out to me. When I heard that Eat You Up single that she debuted with for the US, I said I would never pay her any attention because I didn’t think she put enough effort into her work. Shallow, yes, but I’m picky when it comes to music.

Now, I was surfing around on some other blogs and Asian sites, and this video appeared. Have no idea who this Daichi Miura person is, but dude has a nice voice and can dance a bit, if only he did a bit more in this video. I’ve seen BoA dance, so I don’t really need to comment on her dance skills.

This duet is good! Beat is damn nice and their voices are very great together. Not too much from each one and the video is very simple and expresses the gist of the whole song. I’m impressed.

I just may… MAY give her a listen. Don’t count on it, though.
