It's reached me from different sites that South Korean singer Lee-Ra, who debuted under the name of Shine was found dead in her home on the 6th of July. After vomiting and sadly choking, it's a horrible and sudden way to go.
Lee-Ra was a mere 24/25 years old. This is becoming a sad year of young deaths in the world of K-pop.
My condolences go out to her family and friends.
Also on another note today marks 3 years since the London 7/7 bombings. I nearly lost my uncle on this day and can remember the moment that my P.E teacher got a phone call from someone while me and few friends stayed to help clear up saying that a bomb had gone off on the tube. My heart sank and I hope that you the reader of this will NEVER feel how I did that day, I spent the rest of the day calling my aunt and uncle and couldn't contact either of them. Luckily my uncle didn't go in that day but 56 people still died and about 700 people where injured. The images of that day and the fear I felt will be with me forever.
So please don't forgot.
]]>One way to start a new-ish is to show my lastest items from the J-Pop world that have found their way into my room. Basicly the three CD's I got for my birthday.
Bring my current collection for Asian Goodies to this
Sorry, it was taken on my phone -_-'
I have more thing on the way too. Two Albums and hopefully three posters.
I'll do a good poster talking about either Wonder Girls or So Nyuh Shi Dae, or maybe even both tomorrow.
And Happy 4th of July to all in the US ^_^
]]>I haven't posted since the end of April and I'm sorry for that, I've missed a lot of things but with the end of the school term and my birthday, which was on Friday the 27th of June, for those who don't know. This meant I was very busy.
Now to main point, I still like H!P but not as much as I used. I'm slowly falling out of love with H!P. After the recent PVs which sucked completely, esp Berryz newest one, I'm around the same age as the older members of Berryz, I've just turned 17 and I would NOT wear one of those monkey outfits even if you paid me. NEVER! Also the favouritism in the groups has caused me to crack.
I have also started to find that there is more K-pop things appearing on my HD then J-Pop and more important H!P.
Now to the future of the blog, it's staying open, now I have more free time I can finally update but it will be going under a lil name change, I'm not sure what yet but it will. So I'll be H!P Sauce just a lil longer.
]]>So I wandered over to H!O and after getting over the shock of Ayaka's leaving which I'll write about later I noticed the post under information us of Kanako's baby bump being no more.
They have had a boy and a girl!
Kanako and the babys are reported to be in good health and no word on their name's yet.
Well done T-man and Kanako and Congrats!
]]>Last year Kim Min Soo, member of K-POP group Monday Kiz was involed in a motorbike accident, sadly he was involed in a second which cost him his life.
'The incident happened this morning at 6:20am where the motorbike that Kim Min Soo was riding on crashed into a tree along the road. According to his management, he was immediately whisked off to Boramae hospital after the accident but was pronounced dead at 6:50am by doctors. His pillion rider who goes by the name of Lee suffered serious injuries.
Can Entertainment representing Monday Kiz expressed, “Kim Min Soo had said after his accident last year that he wouldn’t ride a bike again. I really can’t believe that this had happened. I really don’t know what else to say. We are awaiting the results from police investigations.”'

I was shocked when I found out the news as I had just started listening to Mondya Kiz and at start of the year. He will be missed by everyone and at the age of 23 he went young...too young.

]]>I've realised that I complain a lot about being in England as it's hard to get hold of Asian CD's. Unless you go to YesAsia but Shhhh.....
I've been thinking that there is one reason why I love being in England and only about an hours drive from London is three words long....The West End. Some of the musicals that been performed and come from that stage are in my heart and always will. So we are going to take a break from our normal programming of Hello! Project and I'm going to show you some of my favourite songs from my four of my favourite West End shows.
Half a Sixpence
It's just great! My favourite song would have to be 'Flash Bang Wallop', this is also from the DVD.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
This originally started on the West End, I first saw the DVD film of it when I young and I've always loved. I sadly couldn't find any thing from the actual show and your going to have to deal with stuff from the DVD. My favourites would have be 'Time Warp' I've known the dance for years. 'Sweet Transvestite' and 'Science Fiction/Double Feature'
I've saved the best two till last.
Billy Elliot
In 2005 after the film was released a West end version of the film was made. Three boys played Billy due to certain laws, they could only do a certain amount of shows a weeks or something like that. My favourite boy would have to be Liam Mower. Here is him singing my favourite song 'Electricity' on a show about musicals and the music video version of Electricity sung by Elton John with appearances from the boys. This song has always been my favourite out of any musical.
Cats
The two songs I've picked is 'Magical Mr. Mistoffelees' and the amazing song 'Memories'. 'MMM' was I'll call it because it's way to long to write down every time, it just another great one. 'Memories' takes my breathe away time, it always sends shivers down my spine and makes me tear up all the time.
This made me think about MM's upcoming musical. 'Cinderella'. I want to share who I want to play who.
Cinderella - Either Ai or Reina, I think they have the vocals for it at the moment as much as I hate these two gettins all the spotlight.
The Prince - Either Ai or Reina, same as above.
The Stepsisters - Either Risa and Eri or JunJun and LinLin.
Godmother - Risa
The rest of the crew I don't mind as long as Kusumi doesn't get to be a main. I think she was good as the Prime Minster's son in their last musical.
]]>Fujimoto is making me spend more money that I haven't got. I also enjoyed her back in her solo days and it's good to see and hear her again, she looks great apart from the 'flower' print dress she wears, it looks like a flower print dress but it should be sadly burnt in a sudden fire.
Anyway, I'll get if I ever get the money for it....it's sucks being a teenager on the Isle of Sheppey.
]]>I was planning to do a post on what my friend thought of H!P PV's and songs but I've just been reached with the news that Lim Sung Hoon or TurtleMan from the Korean group Turtles has passed away. I know it's not do with H!P but I'm slowly branching out to non-H!P stuff and I'm a fan of this group.
He passed away due to a heart attack on the 2nd of April. He was found by the bands manager when he didn't anwser his phone and his door was locked, which caused them to get a locksmith to open the door and they found him on his bed. At first their manager believed him to sleeping until he wouldn't wake. When they discovered he had no pulse they called the ambulance and they confirmed he has died 5-6 hours before they found him. He was 38 years old.
RIP - Lim Sung Hoon 03.09.1975 - 04.02.2008
Below is a few Turtles Music Videos
Milky Way's PV is out, it's great. I do hope these guys are around longer then KiraPika.
So this means even more money to spend....when I get some money.
V-U-DEN this is your curtain call, please take a well-earned bow. You may have come out with some songs I love to hate but this is just...pure greatness. I'm buying this one!
The girls look great and to me it's gives off a sad but happy vibe. We shall miss you V-U-DEN. I look forward to seeing you all again in the future doing your own things.
