White Day 2014

It's White Day!

What? You don't know what White Day is? Omo. Let me explain.

Feb 14th is Valentine's Day. In the states that means you give people you love, like etc. candies, chocolates, flowers, cards, presents all sorts of lovey dovey stuff. In many Asian countries it is the girl who gives boys candy. It's usually handmade chocolates, to show love and effort. If they aren't that special then store bought is ok. lol.

March 14th is White Day. It's now the girls turn to receive. Boys now give candies/chocolates, etc to the girls they like.

On a sadder note for us lonely people, April 14th is Singles Day where you eat black bean noodles all by your lonesome. An even sadder day for us is June 14th which is Kiss Day and you have to kiss someone. lol.

Many idols have been hitting up the social media networks like Twitter and Youtube to share some White Day Love to their fandoms. Here is where I post some of my favorites.

Valentines Day:// Royal Pirates

Royal Pirates have been asking their fans, 'What song should we do a cover for on Valentine's Day?'

Well the answer is finally here. Even though I requested Hoobastank's Reason on their facebook page, the chosen tune was none other than Ra.D's I'm in love. This marks R.P's first Valentine's Day with their fans (since debut), and this was an awesome way to display their love.

Moonchul's voice is hypnotic and both James and SY were quite charismatic while playing. Their rendition is sure to make some hearts flutter. It's calming and full of affection so enjoy this episode of RP Tv. It's good enough for me to almost wish I was in love. (And I mean love other than the love I have for RP. ;)) Prepare to swoon ladies and gents, and Happy Valentine's Day.

Royal Pirates

Ah, my newest addiction. A band by the name of Royal Pirates. I came about the video for 'Draw the Line' (Band Version MV) but didn't have much interest in it, at least until I saw a pretty face frozen on the frame with the play button screaming at me to press it and watch. So, I did.



The band, Fading From Dawn, was formed in 2004. It consisted of brothers Kim Moon Chan (Richard) and Moon Chul (Andrew), along with drummer Soo Yoon. In an untimely and tragic car accident, Richard along with two friends died in April 2008. Without Richard, Moon Chul and Soo Yoon rarely played events. It wasn't until 2009 that James, their current bassist, joined the band. They would continue to perform as Royal Pirates. It could no longer be Fading From Dawn without Richard, so they changed their name.

Why the name Royal Pirates? Well the boys were tossing around random words for a new band names. It's a mix of high class royalty and bad ass pirate freedom, the best of both worlds.

The band received a lot of love on YouTube for doing various covers from Muse, Britney Spears, SNSD, and Wondergirls, to name a few. My favorite cover is their rendition of Super Junior's 'Sorry Sorry'. I've been listening to it on repeat since I discovered it yesterday. LOVE IT. Besides, I have a thing for bands, NELL, CN Blue, FT Island, LEDApple...the list continues.


After looking up some more stuff by Royal Pirates, I realized that I knew about it when they released their digital album 'Shout Out' in 2013, and thought they were pretty cool then. I like their older stuff though, like 'Disappear'. Their newer stuff has an easy going feel to it. Of the new album, Drawing the Lines, my favorite song is 'See what I See'. There's just something about Moon Chul's voice that gives me chills... The good kind... Like down my neck. *cough* Anyways, I'm following the boys on twitter and can hopefully keep up with what's going on with the rest of the boys. Maybe they will be in NY sometime soon. If you are reading this, let me interview you guys, eh? *bats eyelashes*
