Kpop: Sunwoo Jung-a (선우정아)

 Image 2, 4 is from Hot& Cold, image 3, 5 from Sooni, the rest are from Springgirls

Sunwoo Jung-a has mostly done her thing writing songs for other artists, but when she does take the front and sing herself, the videos and music are so very much full of feeling and rhythm that it is too bad it doesn't happen more often.

• Sunwoo Junga - Springgirls (봄처녀)
• Sunwoo Junga - Sooni (순이)
• Sunwoo Junga - Hot & Cold (츤데레)
• Sunwoo Junga - Song of Hero (주인공의 노래)

Kpop: Risso (리소)

Risso is one of those few korean artists that produces electronic synth pop, but oh how I love her sound. Most is audio only videos, but don't miss out on anything. The latest video from last week is "Baby Baby Baby", which has her filmed in a kind of retro setting that combines the 20s with VHS 80s looks.

• Risso - Baby Baby Baby
• Risso - OMG

All Audio only, but oh so great:

• Risso - A little bit more
• Risso - High Five
• Risso - 5 Hours 
• Risso - Finger magic
• Risso - Bad Boy
• Risso - Favorite
• Risso - Feels like you
• Risso - Blue Knight

Mandopop: Dizzy Dizzo (Dominique Choy/Cai/Tsai, 蔡詩芸)

 Images 1-4: Who loves who, image 5-6: Lone Wolf, image 7-9: Radar

Taiwanese-Australian singer Dominique Choy has made a good impression on me with her latest album "Bones/骨子裡". The song "Who loves who" establishes that kind of quiet but touching world in my mind that I just love visiting, and there are more of those kind of tracks if you like it.

• Dizzy Dizzo ft E.So - Who loves who (誰愛誰)
• Dizzy Dizzo - Stray Love
• Dizzy Dizzo - 頑童/ TSC Choreographer
• Dizzy Dizzo ft Nick Chou - Down with me
• Dizzy Dizzo - You know this ain't love (你知道這不是愛)
• Dizzy Dizzo - Lone Wolf
• Dizzy DIzzo - Leaves (落葉)
• Dizzy Dizzo ft The Lion City Boy- Unrequited Love (Off the Cuff)
• Dizzy Dizzo - Radar
• Dizzy DIzzo - No No!

Mandopop: Michiyo Ho (何念玆)

I have been folowing with interest the Malaysian collective ("supergroup") called Red People ever since I back in 2014 saw their cover of famous "Xiao Pingo". One of the artists that seems to have been gaining most momentum is Michiyo Ho. Her videos has humor and she really has that extra charisma that is the mark of a good artist; a video paroding North Korea's dictator, a video supporting preventing breast cancer (called 'tits' of course...) and now "Hands up handsome!" which is a reall catchy track about all the beautiful men out in the countryside... ;-)

• Michiyo Ho ft Jack & Danny Koo - Hands up handsome! (男神請舉手 !)
• Michiyo Ho - Mimi (咪咪 = Tits)
• Michiyo Ho - Love You No More
• Michiyo Ho - Abandoned (你不要我)

Kpop: Pentagon (펜타곤)

All screenshots are from "Can you feel it"

Pentagon is a debut group with 10 members, which kind of explains the name (penta = five). The first single "Gorilla" from October wan't that much to listen to, but the December release is more interesting. Will they overshadow their label mates BTOB and Beast? "Can you feel it" too?

• Pentagon - Can you feel it (감이 오지)
• Pentagon - Gorilla

Kpop/pop: Far East Movement ft Tiffany & King Chain - Don't Speak

The next song from Far East Movement's Identity album is "Don't Speak", which is an interesting pop/EDM song starring (ex-Girl's Generation) Tiffany delivering another stable english singing performance.

• Far East Movement ft Tiffany & King Chain - Don't Speak

Kpop: Girl's Day - Perfect Stage

I have said it before, and I will say it again; I envy korean TV watchers as they get some awesome TV ads...like this one featuring Girl's Day. The CF is about one of 'Mise en Scene's hair care lines. Too bad it's so short.
