Damn, I wish they would have stuck around... so mad.
DSP has such quality when picking their groups but it takes awhile for them to become famous. I mean, arguably, and TripleS can back me but SS501 got super famous only during their final years, and it took THREE YEARS for KARA to hit it big. :/
Even though it's been a year, and they've gone and left, I still love A'st1. One of the best Korean Groups out there. So talented and humble. I wish they'd been given more of a chance...
I'm not gonna lie and say I know a lot of Korean music, but from what I've heard these guys are better singers than some of the other groups. They're perfectly synced. Who cares about the dancing.
hais if DSP thought they were a waste of their investment why even bother allowing them to debut in the fst place? its such a waste of their hardwork i would say
damn, A'ST1 is freaking awesome ! love 'em so much !
anyone knoe why they disband !?
its such a shame cuz if they gave it a little more time, they would've been huge !
wats going on wit kpop now-a-days !?
they disband alla da talented groups (ex. FTTS, Shinhwa, A'ST1, etc.) and start new ones who can barely sing but have nice faces !? (no offense to other groups) D=
@aznzrule06 They got disbanded I think their company thinks its not worth to invest in them? Cauz they cant sing well and dance well live at the same time + they aint tat popular. But i think they shld be given a better chance cauz they hv great vocals.
sigh. thats right. a'st1 is one talented group who deserves alot more fans, recognition and popularity. but they seem very neglected by their company for some reason. absolute waste ):
haiming's the one in the blue and white shirt with a hat on.. and tomo's next to him, in the polka dot-looking jacket and wearing what looks like a dog tag :)
OH?? i thought TOMO was the leader coz when they did this interview they were introducing eachother and although i could't understand korean i heard Tomo say lead Singer' and'Leader' in english lol
i didn't like them at first bcoz of that super junior thing. but i decided to just give them a try. this is the first song i listened to from their mini album and since then i became their fan. all their songs are really good but this is my fave:D
crunchyroll? i have friends that go there often, but i don't. is it good? my friend works as a translator there so i was also thinking of giving it a shot.
crunchyroll is pretty good.. it has a lot of anime that is organized and stuff.. but sometimes the quality isn't as good when you're a freeloader like me.. haha.. go ahead, you give a shot! what language do you speak, if you don't mind my asking?.. that would be really great tho if you did that too..
yeah, anime and dramas.. i think they have profiles for the artists too.. i think you can upgrade it or something.. the quality's probably better because you pay for it..
you speak japanese?? cool! did you teach yourself or are you a japanese descendant or something?.. still, i think that's awesome :D
no, nothing like that. they offer the course at my school, so i learned the basics there. this summer, i'm gonna [try to] teach myself some of the more advanced stuff tho.
they also offer korean at one or two of the schools in my district, but not at my school so i am teaching myself that.
wow, good for you! i don't know many schools that offer japanese here so i think that's really great.. wish they had it in my school..
one language is hard enough, but two?.. i applaud you *clap clap* c: keep it up! ganbatte/ganbarimasu (i only know wapanese, the words that are often repeated in anime's like 'kawaii', 'daijoubu', 'shimatta' , and the like)
My school sucks. It only offers four languages: French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese. French and Spanish are the "easiest". Mandarin has a crazy teacher that wastes too much paper. And Japanese is the hardest.
french and spanish are the only ones offered at my school, and they get harder as you advance.. learning another language isn't easy, it's just that Japanese, Mandarin, or Korean are harder to learn because they have a different writing.. wish I could learn Japanese tho..
I wish you could teach me. I want to learn lanuages that is special. Like chinese isn't special anymore. Japanese is starting to fade ish. But Korean is still on the line.
Special as in languages not the normal person you see on the street will know.
i think each language is special, even in your meaning. even tho lots of ppl are picking it up, you won't see anyone fluent.
ppl usually drop it before they get that far. honestly, lots of ppl who pick it up do it cuz of anime/manga or w/e and not cuz of the actually language.
i know alot of ppl who didn't want to work hard at becoming fluent once they started the hard stuff.
Yeah. I know a lot people want to learn Japanese because of the Manga and anime. I'm just like, I'm happy with reading subtitles and waiting for the english versions to come out.
I don't know. I like being special and learning hard languages is special. I don't want to be the standard ABC. Some ABCs I konw don't even speak cantonese or mandarin.
you're lucky! my school only has three. i wanted to learn korean too, but they didn't offer it at my school. (they did at another school in my district tho -__-')
i agree with picknosey cuz it only seems hard cuz of the writing system. once you get past that, it's really easy.
i want to learn mandarin, but i think i'll concentrate on speaking rather than writing/reading ^^ even if i'm learning japanese...i really LOATHE leaerning kanji T-T
Yeah. Me too. I want to learn but the "better" school in my district has Korean and my friend is learning. But it's impossible to learn it from her. It's like she aspects me to understand and everything because her school is one of those hard ones.
haha.yea. i'm jealous of the other school, but since korean is so similar to japanese, i'm having an easier time trying to learn it! lol. it's so funny how much i can learn about korean on my own. if it wasn't for japanese, i wudn't have found it so easy tho.
there's a certain mentality u need to master a language. ^^
I don't really teach myself. I haven't really started. But I sorta did. At least I can hear the difference between Japanese and Korean. They're really close and alike but there's soemthing there that's different. Like Japanese has words like shi, da, tsu. But Korean sounds more.. Chum, Kim, Haan.
oh. i see. well, the alphabet for korean really isn't hard. flashcards should do it for you. that's how i do it. the grammer and how they form their sentences sound alike to me, at least from what I can hear out.
since i went thru learning the japanese writing system, learning korean writing isn't that hard.
OH.. Um.. This is kind of a stupid request, but could you teach me? I considered looking it up online but I'm not. I have friends, well not really friends but I know people that like to mess with other people and they put up fake things online. Or they like naming things way different than what's it supposed to be.
pm me and we'll talk. i can't garuntee you anything, but since we both want to improve i'm sure both of us working together will get us fluent ^^v
btw, i'm actually still a newbie.i just picked it a lil over a month ago. i can read and write and understand phrases. i'm working on grammer, but being self taught is REALLY hard when you get to that stage.
well, i live in cali, so it's really diverse.i guess they wanted to offer languages that would appeal to them? iuno.
it's nothing really to be impressed about! heh ^^ thanks anyways. well, for me everyone else is good at so many things. language is one of the few things i'm good at? haha.
oh, i didn't know that.. it's still awesome c: i'd like to visit cali some day.. i saw on your myspace profile that you're filipino.. do you speak that too?.. well even if you didn't, you speak 3 languages.. :D at least you're good at something, you know.. better than not knowing at all c:
i guess it does get a little hectic when you have more than 2 languages under your belt.. lol ^_^
no unfortunately i don't have a myspace.. i just went to you profile here in youtube, then saw that link on myspace and i went there.. i didn't know pachelbel's canon is so well-known.. the vid is a cool adaptation.. c:
nah, idk much about music.. i recognized it cause canon was the 2nd piece i learned for piano.. c: my teacher played some pieces and asked me to pick one, the others seemed really, really hard so i picked canon.. lol.. it seemed less hard than the others ^_^
but i also heard about canon when jerryc played it on an electric guitar.. and i thought it was really great :D
I digs this!

qiqi5sno 2 years ago
true. im not crazy about their dancing, but that's a stupid reason to disband.
they're SINGERS they should be judged on their singing not their dancing.
i mean at least they CAN sing unlike other so called "bands".

huanyie 1 year ago
@huanyie they disbanded because they weren't a "typical kpop band."
like they didn't focus much on their dancing so they didn't have many fans.
they cared more about their singing which SINGERS should !
but in Korea, they seem to only care about looks and dancing.
also, their entertainment company didn't focus on them
so they didn't have much opportunity to perform and gain attention.
i also heard somewhere they didnt want to be part of the "tainted" entertainment business.

i want to learn mandarin, but i think i'll concentrate on speaking rather than writing/reading ^^ even if i'm learning japanese...i really LOATHE leaerning kanji T-T

Yeah. Me too. I want to learn but the "better" school in my district has Korean and my friend is learning. But it's impossible to learn it from her. It's like she aspects me to understand and everything because her school is one of those hard ones.

haha.yea. i'm jealous of the other school, but since korean is so similar to japanese, i'm having an easier time trying to learn it! lol. it's so funny how much i can learn about korean on my own. if it wasn't for japanese, i wudn't have found it so easy tho.
there's a certain mentality u need to master a language. ^^

I know how to read japanese if it has the letter like english letters, but I just don't konw the strokes. And the meanings. For Korean, same time.

really? being able to read the writing system is really important. it's hard, but u learn alot if u can read it. it's not that hard tho.
how do u teach yourself?
aznrocker14 3 years ago
I don't really teach myself. I haven't really started. But I sorta did. At least I can hear the difference between Japanese and Korean. They're really close and alike but there's soemthing there that's different. Like Japanese has words like shi, da, tsu. But Korean sounds more.. Chum, Kim, Haan.
Well I watch movies? That sort of counts.. Right?
iamzaiamzaiamza 3 years ago
oh. i see. well, the alphabet for korean really isn't hard. flashcards should do it for you. that's how i do it. the grammer and how they form their sentences sound alike to me, at least from what I can hear out.
since i went thru learning the japanese writing system, learning korean writing isn't that hard.
aznrocker14 3 years ago
OH.. Um.. This is kind of a stupid request, but could you teach me? I considered looking it up online but I'm not. I have friends, well not really friends but I know people that like to mess with other people and they put up fake things online. Or they like naming things way different than what's it supposed to be.

pm me and we'll talk. i can't garuntee you anything, but since we both want to improve i'm sure both of us working together will get us fluent ^^v
btw, i'm actually still a newbie.i just picked it a lil over a month ago. i can read and write and understand phrases. i'm working on grammer, but being self taught is REALLY hard when you get to that stage.

well, i live in cali, so it's really diverse.i guess they wanted to offer languages that would appeal to them? iuno.
it's nothing really to be impressed about! heh ^^ thanks anyways. well, for me everyone else is good at so many things. language is one of the few things i'm good at? haha.
aznrocker14 3 years ago
oh, i didn't know that.. it's still awesome c: i'd like to visit cali some day.. i saw on your myspace profile that you're filipino.. do you speak that too?.. well even if you didn't, you speak 3 languages.. :D at least you're good at something, you know.. better than not knowing at all c:

lol. i can understand it and speak it, but not fluently. i'm so spread out between all the other languages, it's hard to focus on just one. ^^'
u did?...do u have a myspace than? (it may be better to chat there than here) lol ^^V
aznrocker14 3 years ago
i guess it does get a little hectic when you have more than 2 languages under your belt.. lol ^_^
no unfortunately i don't have a myspace.. i just went to you profile here in youtube, then saw that link on myspace and i went there.. i didn't know pachelbel's canon is so well-known.. the vid is a cool adaptation.. c:

isn't it? i luv when two different genres come together to make something great! i think it's the best.
u recognized it tho? u know alot about music?
aznrocker14 3 years ago
nah, idk much about music.. i recognized it cause canon was the 2nd piece i learned for piano.. c: my teacher played some pieces and asked me to pick one, the others seemed really, really hard so i picked canon.. lol.. it seemed less hard than the others ^_^
but i also heard about canon when jerryc played it on an electric guitar.. and i thought it was really great :D

Hey I live in Cali too. But yeah. I would be weird if Cali wasn't diverse I mean it's the most populated state in USA.
