Eve of The Idol ∼4th Night∼ Ring The Bells of Noel - SNH48 Christmas Selection

When the bells ring out and the cries of Noel dance through frosted air, songs of winter and Christmas, and we come together to sing with harmony and joy...

✴❅✴ 4th Night ✴❅✴

One of the things I remember most about Christmas as a child was the music. Whenever the television came on, there would be a wonderfully warm tune filled within tinkling bells and joyous vocals coming out of it, and an equally entertaining video to accompany it. Of course, some of these songs were not as fun or thrilling as others, but they all had the same power over me, whether they were pop or rock tracks, ballads, or simply seeped in merriment and mirth. Every time it came to the winter time, these were the tunes I anticipated. Similar to how I loved the decorations and lights that adorned our house, the sound of Christmas music was something I adored and hoped to experience again when winter came round again.

For 12 Nights, and 12 Nights only, let's take a journey with Idols of all kinds and enjoy the wintry styles they have adopted. Whether the song is old or new, let's celebrate all it delivers. This season, let's fall in love with our Idols all over again...

This is the Fourth Eve, and tonight we experience the happiness of Christmas song. When celebrating the end of a year and the birth of another, let's cry out loud and let our voices rise through this crisp, cold air.

It's time to ring the bells and let Christmas in...

A Halloween Feat! The 48's 'Halloween Night' Music Video Comparison!

There are almost as many videos for AKB48's Halloween Night as there are sister units for Japan's #1 Super Group, and with the holiday this song and video celebrate just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to talk about it a little bit! But, of all versions available, which one should I choose to discuss on my own little blog...?

Considering there are currently about 14 staff' versions available (including both the regular AKB and JKT48 staff versions,the CyberAgent and Samantha Thavasa Staff versions in Japan, and another ten staff versions from various companies in Indonesia, alone), as well as the three official Music Videos from AKB48, JKT48 and the recently cut-off SNH48. There is also a Ladybeard versions floating around (unofficial), and a Dangdut version from JKT48, too.

Basically, there are a lot of Halloween Night's floating around the inter-webs, and whilst it would be a hoot (read: No way in Hell) to talk about every single damn video made for this sub-par song, I really don't have the time or energy for that kind of commitment. So instead, I will be focusing on the three main Music Videos from AKB, JKT and SNH, and pitch them all against one another in this comparison of the 48's Halloween PV's to find the most worthy of the Halloween title.

Sadly, there will be no pictures here (for the sake of not going OTT with this post), and of course it's all my opinion, though take what is said with a grain of salt; you don't have to believe what I say or feel inclined to think as I do. We are human, and we have our own ways of thinking and feeling, so decide for yourself what you prefer, and what you like.

And now... Have at the PV's! Arrr! (... Wait, I'm a Pirate now?)
