Kpop/Jpop: After School - Shh

This must be one of the most stylish and uncluttered girl pop to come out of the kpop industry, and typically enough it is made for the Japanese market. After School delivers a sleek black and white video and a sound track that continues the modern and exiting soundscape of Heaven. Oh, please, give us more of this!

Jpop: Garnet Crow

Garnet Crow plays a kind of folk-music inspired music that in Japan is called Neo Acoustic. Think Vangelis with song to it and you get a general picture.

Kpop: Ailee (에일리)

Behind her Korean stage name Ailee hides the name Amy Lee who is an Korean-American who grew up in New Jersey, but who at 21 years of age moved to Korea to pursue her music career. Her 2012 hit "I will show you" has pushed her towards kpop fame. A rather clichèd affair, and I wonder why she in the end should/would chose the same guy that rejected her earlier on.

• Aileen - I will show you (보여줄게)
• Aileen - Heaven
• Aileen - Evening sky (저녁 하늘)
• Aileen - Halo (live performance)
