Download Link for Latest Album from Nicholas Teo and MV for TW-airing of Lie to Me

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 13, 2011 by ockoalaNovember 13, 2011

Today I started looking for Nicky’s latest album released back in September, only to randomly discover the confluence of two of things I hold near and dear. Nicholas Teo is one of my favorite Taiwan singers (though he’s originally from Malaysia). He’s not called The Prince of Ballads for nothing, and as a singer his voice, pitch, and emotion are … Continue reading →

SMAP Kicks Off its 20th Anniversary Tour in Beijing

A Koala's Playground Posted on September 18, 2011 by ockoalaSeptember 17, 2011

Didja all know 2011 is the 20th anniversary of SMAP? I sure didn’t. Somehow it seems like the boys-to-men have been around much longer than that. But in boyband age, especially in Asian boyband age, it might as well be a centennial in terms of it’s significance. If they play their cards right, they can very well be the Rolling … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on July 31, 2011 by ockoalaJuly 31, 2011

It’s with a bittersweet feeling that I bring you the final released song from the Lie to Me OST – Kang Ji Hwan and As One‘s version of “Lovin’ Ice-cream”. This version is exclusively part of the Japanese OST for Lie to Me, which makes sense considering how insanely popular Kang Ji Hwan is over there. While I love hearing … Continue reading →

It’s just incredible how everything Rainie Yang touches appears to be golden this year. Her album Longing For just dropped, along with the MV for the title single. I actually like this song better than the first single, the ballad “We Are All Fools”, because it’s uptempo and has a more upbeat message. The MV is drop-dead gorgeous (though it … Continue reading →
