I so wish my girl would go solo! Her raps are great. The lyrics she writes are good, so she's an Idol rapper, she's got skill and talent. Her body is the best I've seen in K-Pop, tan and thick...get it girl!
Lee Chaerin, I have mad respect for this girl. She doesn't fit Korea's beauty standards, she knows and it doesn't care. She's confident and seems extremely down to earth.
I was never a CL fan, in fact I kind of hated her. I thought she was ugly, her voice was whiny (which it is) and she just tried to hard. Now she's my bias. It used to be Minzy but, no matter what of 2NE1 I watched, my eyes were always glued to CL. Her in the 'Falling In Love' MV, I was done and sold. I want to be CL when I grow up...more. Haha! I want to look like her! She's absolute perfection. Like what she said in 'Dirty Vibe,' "...i'm your girl's lesbian crush..."
She's got that right!
I could honestly make these posts a lot longer and more interesting but I don't want you guys to be bored with my reading. Hehe. Unless that's what you all want, let me know!
Unfortunately, she doesn't have any solo album yet! But, My favourite solo song of hers is 'MTBD.' The melody is the *censored* and the rap is incredible.
.She has the BEST eyeliner.
Here's The Perfomance for 'MTBD' Live
(sorry to those who take offense to this version. I never seen the problem behind it, I know...I know but...I actually like the voice in the background. Sorry.)
Namie Amuro is my 2nd favourite J-Pop Artist. Again, one of the very few REAL Japanese singers. She is Italian and Japanese. What a beautiful mix! She's monotone and motionless dancing machine.
The one to have started the Kogal trend which was the beginning of Gyaru itself. She to me, honestly, is the Japanese Mariah Carey. Why? Hard to explain.
Her hair, whether extensions or not, I LOVE. It's so long and pretty and flowy. Namie's eyes are straight killer. Super skinny but it works for her.
Although her music style has changed so much, I still like the newer stuff. But trust me, the oldies are the best. She even has a ton of dirty songs, I mean come on. My favourite line of hers is, 'I am oochie, lala poppin' coochie.'
I do like her ballads but her voice isn't that strong. Her music just makes you want to get up and start shaking your body. Not really club beats as in EDM moreso, club music from like 2005 but, in a good way! As always, more information on my favourite song 'Funky Town' below.

And here are a few more pictures of Namie Amuro.
She's even been compared to KARA's, and my bias, Goo Hara!
Do they look alike?
Hmm...I think they favour each other but honestly...Namie's prettier to me. But, don't get me wrong, Goo Hara is extremely gorg as well.
So please, go check her out. The Queen Of Hip-Pop.
Let's just say Lee Hyori is my ultimate female bias in K-Pop. And I will swear to this day that she is mixed. Her music is great and uplifting, she's all about girl power.
I love Hyori because first, her name is pretty. I love her mainly because of the way she looks. And not what you guys think. I'm not shallow like that. As far as her looks go, she's tan. And being tan in K-Pop these days or in Korean society is just 'gross' in so many words. I'm a little tan and to hear some Idol's comments about a Korean that's just a tad bit darker, seriously hurts me. I'll rant about this some other time but I love her being tan.
She doesn't fit the Korean stereotypical beauty standards. She honestly looks mix though! With something that's not Asian. I don't know what it is but, It's something and I will not let it rest.
She's on the thicker side. Compared to most women in K-Pop, she is considered thick. She's got a fantastic body and the greatest smile. She makes me feel better about my tan skin and 'thickness.'
To me, Hyori is the original bad girl. Trust me, I LOVE CL to death, she is my 2NE1 bias but, you don't need to look and act like that to be a 'bad girl.' She's a classy woman who doesn't take anything from no one. And I love that! You don't need to wear head-to-toe black, with baggy pants and have a mean mug on your face all the time to be bad. You can wear your Chanel dress and your Louboutins and work it!
Her music really makes me feel more powerful and like I can do anything! She makes me want to arch my brows and throw on my flats and go out and just say *censored* it, and have a good time.
Anywho, my favourite song by her is 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.' The song just makes me feel like the *censored*. I just start dancing and do the duck face, I'm not even going to lie, guys. Haha! But, PLEASE check out her other music, it's great.
I also love how she got hitched instead of doing a traditional wedding. Korea was really confused and therefore put her down because of this. She's really different than most Korean girls and she's just a real person. She's got tattoos and doesn't care what anybody thinks.
She is literally the Princess Of K-Pop. Not the queen because there's this other woman, whose name I forgot, But she's still rocking it from all the way back to the 70's. Korean disco and just...the bomb...diggity. Not many K-Pop fans know this though.

And here are a few more picture of Lee Hyori.

If you looked at my Intro post, then this picture would look familiar to you. There I explained my love for K-Pop. But J-Pop was my first love and will always be. I listen to all kinds of music, I'm really open. Like, K-Pop, J-Pop, J-Rock, C-Pop, Thai-Pop, Lao-Pop, French Pop, Scandinavian and American Pop. But, out of all my 'oppas' and 'unnies,' Ayumi Hamasaki, simply put, Ayu, will always be number one in my book.
Ayu debut in 1998. A year after I was even born! I had no clue about her and pretty much...anything. Her debut song was 'Poker Face' on the album entitled, 'A Song For XX.' The singles released weren't very famous but it was her debut and honestly, she still needed more vocal training with her very weird but strong voice. I'm not even a huge fan of 'Poker Face' but, my favourite song off that album was 'For My Dear.'

After her debut almost being a flop until last minute it gained tons of popularity, her second album, 'Loveppears,' topped the Oricon for 5 straight weeks and she sold over 3 million copies. I will leave a list below along with videos of my favourite song from each album.
There are tons of speculations about her getting plastic surgery but this is actually extremely popular in the Asian pop music community. She hasn't confirmed anything yet, but talk about Eye lift, nose reduction, lip fillers and boob job have circulated. I do believe she's had her eyes done to look bigger and her lips slightly enlarged. The talk about her nose, she could have simply grew into her face and if anything, she would have straightened the bump but whatever haters! And the boob job, I think she just grew! Her predebut modeling pictures were when she was around 14 but anywho. Either way, if so, she went to a good doctor >.<
She did get married but after a year, she got a divorce. I think the divorce hit her hard because her albums after that, just weren't her and sort of flopped. But, she is gaining her success again!
She's had tons of commercials and endorsements and even writes her own lyrics. She is the nail queen! Her style is the best in Japan and has been in the game for a very long time. She's known for her light hair and amazing vibrato. I could talk about her forever but I don't want to bore you lovely cupcakes so, here are few bonus pictures of Ayu.

MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SONG BY AYU.
Days.
Please check her out, she is REAL J-Pop. Not this Kyary...vocaloid stuff. I'm a fan of both of those, but this is REAL J-Pop. There aren't many out there, and the ones that are, are old-schoolers. Like Ayu.
AYU'S NEW ALBUM COMES OUT JULY 2ND ! !
The Empress Of J-Pop Will Be Back.
I will do a reaction to the PV's and to the album.
