BoA's Top 15 Japanese Songs - #10 - Eien


Sometimes it feels like yesterday that "Eien" came out but the song is already seven years old.




What makes "Eien" so good for me is that it's a mid-tempo song with a melancholy sound, but with a beat fast enough to keep me awake. If mid-tempo songs are up your alley, this is easily one of BoA's best mid-tempo songs.

The thing that saddens me about "Eien" is that this was really the last time BoA was relevant in Japan (spring of 2009). This essentially coincided with my waning interest in J-pop. BoA still has released great songs since then, but avex has largely given up on her with the landscape changing in the scene.

Pump up the pearly volume - big boobs in k-pop guide part 4

The post that k-pop's tits perverts have waited patiently for all year is finally here, it's the return of the Kpopalypse big boobs guide! Who can possibly keep up with the amount of big boobs in k-pop?  Kpopalypse, that's who!  Read on as Kpopalypse brings you the joys of objectification and superficial fetishism once again! Actually to be completely honest, I have trouble keeping up with new groups much the same as anybody, especially as I don't tend to pay much attention to the individuals in very new groups, so that's where the help of trusty caonimas came in.  I asked readers in a recent survey to nominate entrants for this list, and received several hundred responses which I will now distill in the following post.  Thanks to all those of you who helped me out here - but note that most of you picked girls who had in fact already been covered in previous episodes of this series, so make sure you visit the following links to double-check the trufax ...

[+2,166, -138] Sure I'd listen to boy groups if they had good songs... but they're usually more focused on dance music. Need more variety. 4.

EXO-Ls Pillage The Comments Section In BoA's "Who Are You"

*Review coming sometime next week. I was excited for BoA's comeback. It's impossible to be friends with AKF and not listen to BoA a lot. This is the first time BoA has a Korean comeback since I've entered the game. However, I was dumb enough to read the comments, and 99% of them were from EXO fans. I really hate EXO fans. ( Link if the picture is too small. ) BoA is not going to gain more fans through targeting EXOs. You see, more EXO fans are either 12 years old or have severe mental problems or both. If you can stan a group that routinely releases garbage such as " Wolf ," there's no way you're going to stan BoA, someone who can actually compose a song that doesn't sound like the equivalent of ear-pegging. EXO-Ls are being annoying as shit and I don't see how anyone could defend them. ( Link here if the picture is too small. ) He looks like a douchebag. I'm glad I'm not gay or a chick because all of the male idols look like effeminate que...
