First of all, I'm not a music reviewer. 'Jonghyun Album Review' actually not quite match with what I will write in this post. I just want to share my thought and feeling for this album. I just can not find a better term for the title. Pardon me. ^^ 

After all this time, I'm still a kpop fans for sure. I've been following k-pop since 2009, As I mention in my bio, my ultimate fave group are TVXQ and Shinee (sometimes Block B). But, maybe around 4 years ago suddenly I did not follow k-pop anymore. I didn't know which group was debut, which one was disband or which one release a new music. My ignorance level reach to the point that I didn't know some of new song from Shinee or TVXQ. However, starting last year, I suddenly go back following k-pop. But, despite many groups are having a great debut, I'm just back to Shinee (TVXQ is in army, so yeah..)  

Jonghyun is my favorite in Shinee. Although I didn't follow much Jjong's activity (I don't know he's been a dj in a radio!), but every time he release an album, I always rejoice. There's no album from him that I'll give low score (if I have to review it). And this year, he's back with his story album collection. As a fan of his first story album collection, I just download the whole new album from Itunes without feeling the need to listening the audio post in Youtube first. I just know Jjong will not let me down. And he proves me right.

Weekend Corner: Tulus and SWCIII

Jadi, tanggal 21 dan 22 Juni kemarin saya menonton konser dari dua artis dari dua negara yang berbeda dengan genre musik yang berbeda. Tulus dan Shinee. Saya menonton Tulus di acara Banten Jazz Night yang diselenggarakan di Hotel Royal Krakatau Cilegon (yes, Tulus was in Cilegon) pada hari Sabtu malam. Dan besoknya saya meluncur ke Ancol Jakarta untuk menonton konser tunggal Shinee pertama di Indonesia. Yes, SWCIII was in Jakarta. So excited!!!

Konser Tulus direncanakan akan dimulai pukul 7 malam, tetapi karena Tulus sedikit terlambat datang ke Cilegon, maka konser pun diundur hingga pukul 8 malam. Hm.. mungkin penggunaan kata konser sedikit tidak tepat disini. Karena Tulus tampil hanya 1 jam dari pukul 10 malam sampai 11 malam dengan membawakan 10 lagu. Sebelum Tulus tampil ada beberapa band india jazz asal Banten yang membawakan lagu mereka sendiri atau lagu yang sudah terkenal seperti Setapak Sriwedari dari Maliq n D'essentials. Selain band indie dari Banten, ada juga 1 band jazz asal Jakarta bernama Japra. Saat itu adalah kali pertama saya menonton aksi panggung Japra dan mendengar lagu mereka. Atau mungkin lebih tepatnya saat itu adalah kali pertama saya mendengar ada band bernama Japra. Dan saya langsung suka dengan penampilan mereka. Di awal penampilan, mereka me-remake lagu Nirvana yang Smells Like Teen Spirits suasana jazz. And it was soo good!! Selanjutnya mereka membawakan beberapa lagu mereka. Walau banyak yang tidak mengetahui lagu mereka, tetapi penonton tetap ikut begoyang bersama mereka. Itu karena memang aksi panggung Japra sangat menarik. Dan yang paling diinget tentu saja ketika Japra membawakan lagu Pelangi di Matamu dari Jamrud. Seisi ballroom hotel Royal Krakatau seakan disihir untuk ikut serta bernyanyi bersama mereka. Dibawah adalah link video Japra ketika menyanyikan Smells Like Teen Spirits dan Pelangi di Matamu yang saya temukan dari youtube. Tapi, video ini bukan direkam dari acara Banten Jazz Night.

They're good right?

SHINee & f(x): Hello

Love to see both groups in one stage. Actually, there's nothing special with this stage (for me), except SHINee and f(x) share the same stage and key, minho, taemin are back in Korea stage. But, they're cute. Although, at first, i really hoping they will sing Lollipop. I really want they sing this song in one stage. It must be cute and fun to watch.
