Go Younha !!!!!

I know Younha from My Friend who very-very like about Japan. Previously I don’t know about Japan singer until for first time I hear song from Younha with single, Motto Futari De. That song really make me fell peace, and since that moment I’m falling in love with Younha. And in my blog I will tell little story about Younha. In this article I’m tried write with English Language. I Hope all of you can enjoy it.

Younha born April 29, 1988 in Seoul, Korea, is a K-Pop and J-Pop South Korean singer.
Younha made her debut as an artist at the young age of sixteen. Nicknamed the "Oricon comet" for her success in Japan, she has released eight singles and two albums there with varying degrees of success. Several of her songs have been featured in anime/dramas.

Younha is signed to Epic Records, owned by Sony Music Japan. In South Korea, she is signed to Lion Media and Stam Entertainment.

Born in South Korea to music-loving parents,
Younha began to play the piano at the age of 4. She developed an interest in Japanese Drama and began to teach herself Japanese. What began as an interest in Japanese dramas developed into an interest in Japanese music. With the recommendation of an older student in her school’s broadcasting club, she began listening to artists such as Hikaru Utada and Misia and acquired a taste for Japanese music. Younha begin to dream about becoming a singer alongside her favorite artists.

2004-2005 : Early Career & Moderate Success

(Yubikiri)Era

In order to accomplish her dreams, Younha began to audition within Korea. She says that she went through as many as 20 auditions. She also commented in an interview that certain companies refused to sign her to their labels because they believed she was not "pretty" enough, although she sang very well. At one audition, she made an overwhelming impression and signed a contract with a Japanese company. Soon after, Younha's voice was heard by a company in Japan. In order to make her childhood dream of debuting in Japan come true, Younha recorded while traveling between Korea and Japan. Younha's Japanese skills advanced so quickly that she surprised the staff around her.
After a TV drama producer heard her demo tape, her single, "Yubikiri", was chosen as the insert song for the Fuji TV Monday drama Tokyo Wankei ~Destiny of Love~. In October of the same year, she released her official first single, "Yubikiri -Japanese version-".

(Houkiboshi) to Go! Younha Era

Younha's second single, "Houki Boshi", was used as an ending song for the popular TV anime Bleach. It became a hit, debuting on the Oricon chart at #18 and peaking at #12, and propelled Younha into the limelight. With this single, she became the second Korean, after BoA, to have broken the Oricon chart's top 20. Between "Touch / Yume no Tsuzuki" and "Houki Boshi", she released "Motto Futari de". It flopped and only reached #117 on the Oricon Charts, possibly due to a lack of promotion. Her later single, "Touch / Yume no Tsuzuki", debuted at #15, and peaked at #11. After releasing five singles, Younha released her first album entitled Go! Younha. It reached the #10 spot on the Oricon weekly charts

2006 : Later Struggles and Korean Debut

(Te wo Tsunaide) to (Hakanaku Tsuyoku) Era

"My Lover" was a re-cut single from Go! Younha, her debut album, and was re-cut because it was the theme to the videogame Bleach GC: Tasogare Ni Mamieru Shinigami. It was limited to 70,000 copies and flopped, selling only about 2 000 copies and ranking at #58. Because of its limited print, however, it has become extremely valuable and rare to her fans. Younha was also chosen to sing the ending theme to the anime Jyu Oh Sei. The single, "Te wo Tsunaide" did slightly better than "My Lover", peaking at #50.
"Ima ga Daisuki" was released, with more live performances than "Te wo Tsunaide." It was her second worst ranking single, at #71. "Ima ga Daisuki" was also used as an opening song for the animation Jang Geum's Dream while the b-side "Inori" was used for the animation's ending song.
Younha released a digital Korean single titled "Audition". The single includes "Audition (Time 2 Rock)", a pop-rock song and "Waiting" , a ballad. Although it was released as a digital single, very limited hard copies of the single were available as well. Many performances of this song were shown on Korean TV. The single received a lot of promotion and as a result, "Audition" charted for over 3 months on all Korean charts.
Younha was once again chosen to sing an anime theme song for Kiba. The song "Hakanaku Tsuyoku" was used as the second opening for the show. The single was released on January 17, 2007. Unlike her other singles, "Hakanaku Tsuyoku" only has 3 tracks.

2007-2008: Great Success in Korea & Return to Japan

(A Good Day to Say I Love You) Era

Exactly two months after "Hakanaku Tsuyoku", Younha returned to Korea to release her first Korean album entitled (Gobaekhagi Jo-eun Nal, translated "The Perfect Day to Say I Love You"). The album was a success, peaking at #1 on the charts. The first song promoted from the album was "486" (Bimilbeonho 486, "Password 486"), for which she won the SBS Inkigayo Mutizen award twice. The second song promoted was "연애조건" (Yeonaejogeon, "Love Condition"). She made a music video for the "비밀번호 486", which stars fellow Stam artist Yoon Ji-hoo. The video featured many image changes for Younha. The album also features a collaboration with Wheesung.
On July 14, 2007, Younha appeared on the Korean GomTV MSL Grand Finals (a StarCraft tournament) and performed in the opening ceremony.
At the 2007 MKMF held on November 17, 2007, Younha won the Best New Solo Artist award.

Younha Vol. 1.5 Album

With her increasing success, Younha released a version of Go! Younha rerecorded in Korean. The album, with tracklist changes, is titled 혜성 (Hyeseong, "Comet"), and was released on October 23.

Return To Japan in the first half of 2008

On January 18, Younha left Korea to continue her music career in Japan. She released a Best Of Japanese album/music video DVD, SONGS -Teen's Collection-, on March 26. She also re-released her very first Korean single "Audition" on March 14 as an offline CD. Seoul Records is limiting the amount of "Audition" to 10,000 CDs.

Second Korean Album: Someday

On August 28, 2008 Younha released her second Korean album, Someday, comprised of 17 tracks including 2 instrumentals. It features the hit single "텔레파시" ("Telepathy") as well as her second collaboration with Tablo called "기억 ("Memory") (Rap Mix)"

Plans after the second album

Younha has previously announced that she will be releasing a new Japanese album after her second Korean album, sometime between late 2008 and early 2009. Younha has also finished filming her first full-length Japanese movie which will be released sometime in 2009.
So, its conclusion, Younha have big talent in the world of music, she do not only can sing but she skilled also in play piano. Therefore proper Younha become idol.

Makna Waktu

Waktu adalah sesuatu yang tak akan pernah kembali. Dia akan berjalan terus, walaupun ada yang menangis bersujud memintanya berhenti. Orang yang hebat adalah orang yang bisa berjalan beriringan dengan waktu, bukan orang yang tertinggal oleh waktu.

1 bulan lagi adalah pergantian tahun. Sebagian orang mungkin cemas, bahkan takut karena tambah usia yang berarti tambah tua. Tapi coba kita renungkan tentang waktu, kadang terasa cepat tapi juga kadang lambat. Jadi intinya, Apakah kita sudah menggunakan waktu yang kita miliki untuk hal yang bermanfaat?

Jadi apa arti waktu bagi kita yang hidup di masa kini? Saya akan mencoba mencuplik suatu pepatah bijak.

“Bila kau ingin tahu apa artinya waktu 1 tahun, tanyakan pada siswa yang tidak naik kelas. Makna 1 bulan, tanyalah kepada ibu yang melahirkan prematur. Makna 1 minggu, tanyalah seorang editor majalah mingguan. Makna 1 hari, tanyalah seorang pekerja yang bekerja dengan gaji harian. Makna 1 jam, tanyalah seorang gadis yang sedang menunggu kekasihnya. Makna 1 menit, tanyalah seorang mahasiswa yang telat masuk kelas. Bila kau ingin tahu apa artinya waktu sedetik, tanyakan pada atlet lari 100 meter. Atau jika kau ingin tahu tentang makna waktu dan hidup, tanyakan pada orang yang akan dihukum mati esok hari.”

Ketika aku merenungkan lagi tentang Sang Waktu, aku makin tak tahu. Jujur aku termasuk orang yang sering menyianyiakan waktuku dengan hal yang tak berguna. Yah.... lebih baik aku jalani saja waktuku. Kehidupan berjalan terus beriringan dengan waktu. Kapan berawal, kapan berakhir, kapan hidup, kapan mati, siapa yang tahu? Selamat menikmati waktu yang penuh dengan misteri.

Hancock

Film yang dibintangi oleh Will Smith ini cukup menghibur walaupun aku agak bingung soal alur ceritanya. Ini bukan disebabkan oleh ceritanya yang jelek atau apa, tapi karena tidak ada subtitlenya, jadi kita hanya mengandalkan listening. Jadi cukup sulit juga memahami film ini.

Pada awalnya kukira ini film tentang para pendaki gunung

cos terlihat Hancock memakai kacamata gunung. Ternyata film ini bercerita tentang superhero. Tapi superhero ini beda dengan superhero yang lain, dimana biasanya superhero macam spiderman, batman, menutup identitas aslinya dan berwibawa tapi Hancock malah tampil layaknya preman, suka minum, sering mabuk-mabukkan, dan bukannya membuat suasana tenang malah sering membuat kekacauan baru. Jadi banyak masyarakat kota New York yang merasa jengkel kepadanya. Lebih baik ia diam daripada membuat keonaran. Tapi semua itu berubah sejak ia bertemu dengan Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman). Pria satu ini merubah Hancock dengan menyuruhnya menyerahkan diri ke polisi, walaupun sebenarnya Hancock bisa kabur dengan kekuatannya.
Selama di penjara kelakuan Hancock menjadi jauh lebih baik, malah dia menjadi teman polisi dalam memberantas kejahatan. Tapi konflik mulai muncul ketika ternyata istri Ray, Mary (Charlize Theron) mempunyai hubungan di masa lalu yang sudah lama dengan Hancock. Peristiwa masa lalu yang membuat ingatan Hancock hilang dan tidak tahu siapa Mary atau dirinya sendiri menimbulkan konflik dan perkelahian antara dua manusia super. Adegan ini walaupun didukung spesial efek yang meyakinkan, tapi bagi saya kurang mengesankan karena emosi Mary dan Hancock selama berkelahi juga tidak diekspos secara baik oleh kedua pemeran. Ternyata mereka berdua adalah yang terakhir dari ras atau bangsa kuno berkekuatan super, yang bila menemukan atau berada dekat pasangan sejatinya akan kehilangan kekuatan, menjadi manusia biasa, menua dan mati. Mary memilih meninggalkan Hancock yang kebetulan hilang ingatan setelah insiden puluhan tahun lalu demi menyelamatkan nyawa mereka berdua.
Dan konflik puncak di film ini terjadi di rumah sakit setelah Hancock terluka waktu beraksi di supermarket. Sejumlah napi yang meloloskan diri mencoba membalas dendam dan memanfaatkan Hancock yang sedang lemah dan terluka. Mary mencoba melindungi namun juga ikut terluka. Sadar bahwa dirinya dan Mary bisa mati, Hancock mati-matian melawan serta terbang menjauh dari Mary agar mereka berdua tetap hidup. Di akhir cerita, Hancock diceritakan tetap berhubungan dengan Ray dan Mary walau kini terpisah jauh.
Satu lagi para musuh Hancock di film ini biasa saja hanya penjahat biasa, berbeda dengan musuh-musuh Spiderman, jadi bisa dengan mudah dikalahkan. Dan juga kata-kata makian ”Asshole” cukup sering didengar di film tidak begitu mengundang tawa. Tapi di film ini kita bisa memetik suatu pelajaran bahwa superhero atau manusia kuat, pintar, cerdas itu juga manusia biasa, punya perasaan dan emosi, yang cara mengekspresikannya bisa positif dan negatif. Nilai 7 aku berikan untuk Hancock yang mencatat box office dan rencana akan dibuat sequelnya bila ternyata sukses di pasar.

Tambahan lagi gambar pantulan kacamata yang di pakai Hancock itu bundaran HI loh... Kok bisa ya??? Aku sih ga begitu memperhatikan Cuma waktu aku searching di internet banyak orang yang membahas ini. Tapi ga papa deh itung-itung buat ngenalin Indonesia dan bundaran HI ke masyarakat dunia.

Derita Hari Selasa

Tidakkk........
Aku telat kuliah PV gara-gara ngeprint tugas yang semalaman q buat dengan susah payah....
Q berusaha menjelaskan ke Dosen kenapa aku telat, tapi tetap aja ga di bolehin...
Mendingan kemarin aku minta sekalian aja tugasnya di print ma temenku jadi ga repot begini...
Karena beliau lebih menghargai tugas yang dikumpulkan tepat waktu walaupun bukan hasil kerja keras sendiri daripada tugas yang telah dibuat kerja keras semalaman....
Itu baru yang pertama....
yang kedua aku juga sebel sama si dosen karena ga bisa membedakan siswa yang telat ma ga....
Aq yang telat masuk pake tas ga dibolehin tapi temanku yang telat, ga pake tas langsung nyelonong masuk seakan-akan baru dari toilet bebas keluar masuk..... Capek dech....

Yang membuat aku semakin menderita setelah absen, tugas 0, adalah materi kuliah yang disampaikan merupakan materi yang aku tak kuasai...

Jadi kesimpulannya adalah lebih baik berbohong daripada berbuat jujur, itulah yang menyebabkan mengapa di Indonesia banyak koruptor karena hasil yang didapat dari berbuat jujur tak sebanding dengan tidak jujur.

Dan yang terakhir mau kuucapkan
"Lengkaplah deritaku hari Selasa ini....."
