I heard about her costumes. >_< Augh, I still need to check them out.

Sorry I'm late, but welcome back!! I hope you're back from her break now. @_@

Which means forum activity dies. :-\

That happens to me, too. @_@

That was the same for me, but I felt like I had to get acquired to their latest releases, the and world era and after.

I don't always check this thread so I didn't know that someone replied when I posted that Jaurim performance. Anyway, that's not a cover song, it's one of their original works (though they did release a cover album I believe). And I have to say, those are probably the *best* English lyrics I've personally heard from an Asian artist. Especially in terms of grammar. Just look at the following line -

"I don't know what to believe in, whom to rely on"

She even uses the object form of "WHO"! That's just awesome.

Jaurim has been active since uh...1997 I believe. They broke up after the release of their fourth album but it didn't last long; they reunited like a year or two later, and are still doing stuff today. Kim Yuna, the lead singer, has also done some solo albums. Some of their work is more lighthearted/pop-ish, but they also have a lot of darker stuff like that song I posted. I only got into them recently but I love their music.

Here's another song that's really good, this time in PV form. I wouldn't know how to translate the title myself since my Korean sucks, but I usually see it translated as "Broken Flower" or "Falling Flower" or something along those lines.

Jaurim - Nakhwa

and world is brilliant. It was instant love for me. Acidman is filling the Luna Sea void for me. And yeah, I listen to m-flo occasionally.

Oblivion Dust - sinking

[badtzmaru]

Hmm, that is pretty cool, Redstuff! o_o But is she fluent in English, or did they get help with the lyrics? I liked "#1" a lot more than this one. >_<

Maou, what did you think about green chord?? I liked it less than and world. o_o

Currently Listening to: Bonnie Pink - "Water Me"

[pou]

Hey a PV by Jaurim has been playing recently on TV. It's the one where it has all the girls in black and green outfits dancing... You wouldn't happen to know what it was? I really liked that song and I'd like to check them out more.

Listening to:
Utada Hikaru - BLUE
Shiina Ringo - hatsukoi shoujo

[badtzmaru]

Fame, do you live in Korea?!? O_O

[pou]

Nope! But I am not in America or Europe.

I rank it below and world and Equal, but above Sou and Loop.

Iron Maiden - The Trooper

[justriiingo]

Kent - kärleken väntar

This song rocks.
