The real answer was that it was an accident lol the foreign language I chose during freshman pre-enlistment was Japanese, and my adviser told me later that the language you choose is your concentration (unless you really want to shift). So I guess the question should be: "why did I stay," in which case it's because Euro lit kind of bored me, and it was interesting learning about how Asian countries are more alike than we think. And also because I already have background in Chinese culture so it wasn't difficult to contextualize the lit.

hi idk, ask someone who's done it before hahahaha

As of now it's my "Rising Sun" review! I think it best represents the extent of what I can do as a writer and critic at the moment. ^_^ http://www.popreviewsnow.com/2014/07/dbsk-rising-sun.html

Not really, no. SM and YG have very distinct sounds, especially for their flagship girl groups, and while Brave Brothers *did* used to write for YG, 2NE1 are more of the novelty/electro side of YG than the hip-hop R&B that Brave Brothers does now. As for a Sweetune/SNSD collab, I'd personally love to see that happen. SNSD's Japanese material is approaching Sweetune's sound anyway, but I'd like to see them pull it off in Korea.

Space, gender and domesticity in Myanmar literature gdi who is this, maki girl???

I think it's one of the best executions of Brave Brothers' flavor of the (past few) year(s) :D http://www.popreviewsnow.com/2014/09/weekly-playlist-new-releases-from.html

I mainly look at breathing patterns and fidelity to the recorded version. It's practically impossible for a live performance to be exactly the same as the recorded version because all vocals go through some kind of post-processing -- for example, "auto tune" is a broad tool that encompasses small tonal edits to major, voice-altering effects. Of course, singers try to be as faithful as possible to the recording, and the better vocalists will be able to get to about 95% fidelity, but there is still a rawer quality to "authentically" live vocals. Breathing patterns are the most obvious indicators of this -- obviously, you sing differently when you're dancing and when you're just standing, so I mainly look at how the vocals correspond to the singers' movements and breathing.
