Takeshi Shudo

On 28th October 2010, Pokémon writer Takeshi Shudo was rushed to the hospital after suffering a hemorrhage and collapsing at Nara Station. He has since passed away. Shudo was 61 years-old.

The anime and gaming communities are mourning the loss of the creator of the original Pokemon anime series. Takeshi Shudo is also credited as the sole writer for the first three Pokemon movies, as well as many novels based on the series.


His name may not be instantly recognisable, but his work has most definitely tapped into our lives at an early stage during our childhood. Takeshi Shudo was the creator of Pokemon, one of my beloved cartoons.

SNSD - Hoot

The girl's from Korea's history making SNSD are back with their new song 'Hoot'. Up till now the band hasn't really jumped away from the super tune which is Gee. But it seems they have all changed their image, with new hairstyles, more make-up and overall cuter the girls are certainly irresistible. 

The song seems like its based on some 007 theme, because the MV certainly shows evidence of that. But overall the song is catchy once you get into it, but has it beat 'Gee' in terms of popularity? No would be the answer.

CASS ART

One of my favourite shops around London has got to be Cass Art. Firstly, as an artist its a place i visit 'on da regs', or for those who don't downgrade yourself to using colloquial terms, 'regularly'. Its an art store, so its filled with all art essentials for anyone doing art gcses. a-levels and other qualifications.

Best of all is the price of things. Its CHEAP no lie, everything seems to be 50-75% off everytime i visit, and thats like every week. Students also get 15% further discount, as long as you show your student card of course, so its definitely a win-win shop. 

The one i always visit is just behind Leicester square, on the way to trafalgar square road. But I have visited slightly bigger stores like the one in Soho, i hear theres a bigger store but i haven't been, so I can't review that. Sorry!

Playful Kiss

ONe thousand apologies for not blogging for so long, its been too out of date and all.

What i want to share now is the recent drama called 'Playful Kiss'. Its Korean drama, which i don't tend to get into because i dont understand the language, but this was something i had to see. If anyone has seen the Taiwanese 'It started with a Kiss', then this series is just a Korean adaption of that. Personally, i think both the male and female main characters are much better looking, however many can challenge me on that view.

Basically the story line is that the girl Oh Hai Ni really fancies this super perfect, super smart and incredibly good looking Baek Sang Jo. She follows him everywhere, and then one day she finds out she must live with him. Her dream come true. Then they go through that process of love and eventually falling for each other, but Baek Sang Jo denying it all the time. Cute, and highly addictive.

All I've gotta say is that i'm totally hooked onto it at the moment.

Facebook

I'm starting to find Facebook really annoying.

No doubt i use it all the time, but the process of checking all my notifications, event invites and the occasional giving in of temptations to stalk pictures is annoying. It tires me out and i'm starting to hate it.
Furthermore i don't like how it always change when you've got used to it. I mean, it is good for the company but not for me. Oh well, we just have to live along with it.
The thing i HATE the most is why does my home-screen have to be filled with a million pieces of jargon. I don't care whether you joined this group, i don't at all. So stop it, and lemme see the useful and more relevant things.

It sucks up all my time, but i'm learning to control myself.

Taeyang International Album

It may be a little bit old to post but imma do it anyways.

So here we have Taeyang's International album, featuring all his top songs from his solo career. Taeyang, a member of Korean boy band BIG BANG, is one of the two famous ones out of the group. This album features his english version of Wedding Dress, which frankly, is good but you do get a few laughs outta his pronunciation.

One of the must hear tracks from the album is 'I Need A Girl' in which G-dragon gets a rap solo in the middle. Its an instant hit song, smooth and calm synthesized sounds in conjunction with his sweet voice is a WIN!

Tracklist:
01 Solar (Intro)
02 Superstar
03 기도 (feat. Teddy)
04 I'll Be There (ENG.)
05 Wedding Dress (ENG.)
06 Connection (feat. 빅톤) (ENG.)
07 Move (feat. Teddy)
08 Where U At
09 I need a Girl (feat. G-dragon)
10 나만 바라봐
11 Take It Slow
12 I'll Be There (KOR.)
