Kpop: VIXX - Error

VIXX has done several great videos, among them I count "On and On" and the recent "Eternity" as among the best. The new "Error" has a title inviting several bad puns if it turned out bad, but that is not the case. At all. From the dramatic and unexpectedly nuanced vocal harmonies to the touching story about love and loss, "Error" is a great return for the boys of VIXX and it may even be that this surpasses "Eternity" as their best best song this year, and both will for sure place in my top 20 kpop songs of 2014.

Jpop: TVXQ - Android

TVXQ, called Tohoshinki in Japan, and this single from 2012 was a release for the Japanese market and is off therefore sung in Japanese. It was a big success and sold gold quite quickly, and I like it too with a video which showcases them well with a dance choreography well adjusted to the robot theme.
