Oddness/Weirdness

SHINee has been spokespeople for Skechers since March of this year but now they're taking their partnership a bit further: UPDATED : With individual HD pics from the Skechers design photoshoot.

Yesterday Universal Music Japan posted up a little video of our favorite boys, SHINee , talking about their soon to be released Japanese album " Boys Meet U ".  You can watch it here with English subs, so take a look:

It's been a few weeks since SHINee ' s 5th Anniversary Party took place but it hasn't completely left my mind.  I'm still marveling that these boys are going strong 5 years later, since so many Kpop bands disappear quickly.  As I sat here thinking about it, I decided to take a look to see if any English subs had appeared and, what do you know??  Our favorite subber has done it again.  Take a look at Airyarielle0718 's subs of some of  nudepencil 's talk cuts from the fan party and enjoy!

I would have to say that the big news of the day is SM Entertainment 's just released teaser photos of what they are saying is a new male solo artist.  Check them out:

All the festivities for SHINee's 5th Anniversary have now concluded but I'm still thinking about how many smiles they've brought into my life.  The boys of SHINee were probably thinking the same thing about Shawols yesterday, during their 5th Anniversary Special Party , which was held on Saturday May 25th at Hwajung Gymnasium . Minho's secla to commemorate the day.

It's SHINee's 5th Anniversary today!  Can you imagine?  This fabulous group of boys have been SHINee for 5 whole years and still going strong.  This boggles my mind because people are always talking about the 5 year curse in Kpop, but  SHINee just keeps getting better and better.  Instead of succumbing to infighting or any of the other woes that other Kpop groups have broken up over, these boys seem to just get stronger.

Jonghyun is back!  Yes that's right, my Shawol friends, SHINee is finally 5 again.  Earlier this morning the boys appeared on  M! Countdown for their first " Why So Serious? " goodbye stage.  There's been lots of fangirling and fanboying (is that fanperson-ing?) going on all over the world and, in fact, we even managed to trend  a Korean phrase on Twitter for over an hour.  How fun is that?  Read on for a ton of screencaps and some pics & video:

Let the partying begin, because SHINee 's Jonghyun is finally back, and is making his " Why So Serious? " debut on M! Countdown .  He's only been gone for 2 months but it feels like forever, doesn't it?  Shawols everywhere are almost peeing their pants in excitement (including me).  It's pretty sad that he'll be back just when they are doing their goodbye stages on all the shows.  Sigghhh.  Want to see something awesome though?  Look at this business:

The other day I wrote a post about how SHINee performed " Replay ", sans Jonghyun , on KBS 's 700th Episode specia l and, well... sucked.  I thought that if we watched other performances of "Replay", it would cleanse our brains of that sad spectacle and help us move on to bigger and better things, namely Jonghyun's return and their upcoming Japanese release .

SHINee was on KBS's Music Bank today for the show's 700th Anniversary Special .  The boys performed a special stage of their forever classic " Replay ", along with " Why So Serious? " and if you haven't at least watched the "Replay" stage, you should.  Take a look:

More information is out about SHINee 's 2nd full Japanese album.  As you know, it will be called " Boys Meet U " but I know what everyone is wondering.  Will it just be a whole bunch of Japanese remakes or re-releases of their previous Japanese songs?  Read on to find out a bit more...

As mentioned in my previous post, SHINee has announced plans to release their 2nd Japanese album , which is called " Boys Meet U ".  In related news, Jonghyun has been spotted coming in and out of the SM Entertainment building quite a bit recently: Jonghyun 130514

Well hello readers... I'm back!  I was away for 4 days on a trip so I didn't get to post anything on here.  No laptop + away fun = no blogging for me.  That's ok though, because I have lots of stuff to blog about.  This is one of them: SHINee is going to be releasing their 2nd full length Japanese album on June 26th.  That's right.  Surprise!

Those fabulous SHINee boys, ahem... men... have officially released their mv for " Why So Serious ?", as well as the album " Why So Serious? The Misconceptions of Me ".  Are you excited?  I know I am.

I've compiled more teaser pics for SHINee 's " Why So Serious? The Misconceptions of Me " album.  What better time to check them out than when we're waiting anxiously for the " Why So Serious? " mv to be released?  Just scroll down and enjoy, and keep calm, because SHINee's back!

As sad as it seems, today is the last day that I'll be writing this phrase: Watch SHINee's Wonderful Day .  That's because episode 10 of the show has been English subbed by our wonderful and favorite subber,  airyarielle0718 .  Let's watch, and then we can always talk about our favorite parts of the past 10 episodes.

SM Entertainment decided to delight and amaze us today by releasing the " Why So Serious? The Misconceptions of Me " album highlight medley.  Join me in taking a listen to this gem:

Are you ready to see the mv teaser for SHINee 's " Why So Serious ?"  Well it's not out quite yet but I do have the new album cover and some more pic teasers for you.

Guest Blogger Week continues with a post from my good chingu Stormy of Under the Radar! , who I've known for awhile.  In fact, she (along with Stephe of CloudUSA ) was instrumental in my decision to start blogging, so thanks guys! :hugs: Stormy is an avid music lover and die hard Shawol who got into Jpop in 2007, segued into Kpop in 2009 and hasn't looked back since.  Stormy started out writing for her blog   My Music Radar!  but has taken a brief hiatus from there for medical reasons and is currently blogging on her Tumblr  Under the Radar! .   She hopes to return to  My Music Radar!  soon, so look out for that.

What a sad day for Shawols.  It's sad because the the last episode of SHINee's Wonderful Day was released... :sniffle:  No more cuteness... Aigoo!  What to do with myself now?  Actually, it's probably a good thing that SHINee's part 2 to "Dream Girl", "Misconceptions of Me " will be released shortly, because we'll soon have something else to spazz about.  As for now, let's go watch:
