It’s been a long week! Here’s your weekly music round up. There’s a new artist I found just yesterday and I thought she was really great so check her out.

Also if you haven’t already, buy tickets to the Rebuilding the Bridge Charity event. MOCA and several other sponsors have put it together to raise funds for the Sichuan earthquake victims. Even if you can’t attend, please donate. 

Night Before Christmas Theme Song in Japanese

A little dark but the movie is an all time classic. I always thought Japanese or Korean versions of song sounded funnier than English. As cool as this movie is, I’ve never seen the ending. I was too afraid of it when I was younger and vaguely remember finishing it as I got older. I’m such a wuss.

She - Coloris

This is the new artist I was referring to earlier. I wouldn’t say she’s exactly new but I did discover her just yesterday. Right now on her myspace, she’s allowing everyone to download her albums for free. I really enjoy her music and if you like Japanese techno, you’ll like her. Definitely get it before it’s too late!

Smile Again – I Love Asia Project

This is a production of JYP and Jackie Chan. Similar to the Artiste 512 from the HK and Chinese artists, this song features various Korean superstars along with Jackie Chan. Again, he does sing and I completely flipped when I heard him. I never knew he could sing. Maybe JYP will sign him and he’ll be the next Rain.

Wonder Girls – So Hot Remix

I can’t wait till this song dies. Although the remix version sounds better, this song has been outplayed. Wonder Girls need to make a new song that’s better to push them above Girl’s Generation (SNSD) because right now they’re flying low. Not only did SNSD sing their song “Tell Me” better, they’re copying them but also going virtual. I always knew Korea was original.

DBSK – Doushite (Why Did I Fall Love With You)

They just came out with this single recently and it’s in Japanese! Out of the 2349820394 boy bands that come out of Asia, DBSK is my favorite. One look at Hero and I completely melt. The song is quite sweet but I’m a bit iffy on the acting in the video. Guess they can’t be full perfect.
