It has been awhile, hasn’t it? I mean, since I’ve done a music post that is. So, I knew of VAV’s existence before, but sadly don’t think I have listened to much of their music. Then, I fell down a rabbit hole of watching fansign experiences on YouTube and found Seoulmates‘s channel and saw all the different kpop events she

It is Christmas Eve and I am spending the day celebrating Christmas with my sister’s family, papa, and my paternal aunt and uncle. What gift shall I give to you today? Another ballad?

If you haven’t noticed, I have been trying to select songs from different Asian artists. We have had Japanese, Korean, Hong Kong, Chinese, Thai, and now let us move to Vietnam.

Let us take a break from rock music and jump into ballads. Della 丁噹 (Della Wu/Ding Dang/Wu Xian/Della Ding) is an artist from mainland China whose career launched in Taiwan. If you have watched some popular Chinese and Taiwanese dramas, I am sure you have heard one of her songs in the OST (i.e. Sound of the Desert). Most of

Vidoll is a visual kei band that ceased in 2011 due to musical differences and non-music professional interests. A few of the members, I believe, joined the trio Angelo and the lead singer Jui did embark on a solo career. I own several of their albums and I was sad to learn when they disbanded. So, time to resurrect the
