Midnight

I am so glad to hear from BEAST again. They are one the first KPop groups I had heard off back in 2009, with Shock and Say No. Their catchy and meaningful music got me hooked straight away. My bias immediately became Kikwang, full stop. But there was always a transition time between preferring each member just a tad bit more. Now the conclusion I have come to is that the whole group is equally loved.

Beast released their first track to their album 'Midnight Sun' today. It's called Midnight and it's tune sounds very casual and catchy. It keeps replaying in my head.

In the midnight, midnight, midnight...

The album will be released on July 22th. I wish I could buy it but I only buy KPop merchandise on meaningful events.

For example, I bought their first album, 'Fiction and Fact', when I went to their fanmeeting at Sunway Lagoon, Malaysia last June. I bought U-KISS's 2nd album, 'Neverland' when I went to Korea last winter. It was the only album I bought. My sis, unsurprisingly, bought the B1A4 album at the same time. She's a huge fan.

Anyway, back to business. My point was that I only buy things related to KPop if it's an important occasion, so I have a better memory of that event and it has more sentimental meaning along with the joy of owning them in general.

Oh dear, I must warn you readers that there is some serious hair-talk in the upcoming paragraphs. Feel free to skip it if you want and watch the video, but I just felt the sudden urge to write this.

I must say that I love all their interesting new hairstyles and hair colours this summer. Very eye-catching. Dongwoon is definitely looking less and less asian and more arabic. haha. But very very cute all the same. So handsome with his light blonde hair, still looks so manly.

Kikwang, oh god. His hair! He's has a completely different style now. A permed, dark grey coloured hairstyle. I wonder how he maintains it... It's probably not permanently permed, hopefully. Or else it would be really hard to take care of. Nope, I think he just dyed it. I like his straight black hair, definitely Kikwang style.

Speaking of black hair, Doojoon still rocks his black hair, wearing cool shades in this very short MV too. Actually, under the sunlight it seems to be dark, dark brown. But that's most likely his natural colour. For those who don't know, most Chinese, Koreans and Japanese actually have dark brown hair, not completely black. Doojoon doesn't need to change his hairstyle or colour, he looks smoking hot just the way he is. Just a side note: I've recently become a little infatuated with Doojoon, to be honest. hehe.

Anyway, another pressing matter; Junhyung's gone purple! O.O It actually looks pretty alright to me, I quite like it. It's the sort of lavender purple, a colour similar to what Secret's Hyo Sung and BAP's Bang Yong Guk. But maybe, just a tiny bit brighter. It might just be the lighting of this MV, but I definitely like this colour.

Hyunseung is looking as dashing as always in bright, yet deep red hair. I love that hair colour, just not how he styled it in this mv. I rarely see him with his hair up, wonder what it would look like. His vocals are, naturally, amazing. Love love love his voice. All the BEAST members have great voices.

The one who most likely can sing the highest, Yoseob, has orange hair in this video. A very cute and fun colour that matches his personality and smile fantastically well.

Wow, fantastic baby!

Well, that's the end of the hair assessment. I was suddenly inspired to write about their hair when watching this music video. It took me... 5 seconds to think about it, then I started writing. It was a spur of the moment sort of thing. Forgive me!

So, without further ado...

BEAST

Midnight

How are you? Do you think of me from time to time?

In this long night, I close my eyes again

I think of you, I can’t sleep, this is how I’m doing

The night is especially longer tonight, this night without you

I’m regretting that day I let you go

Continuously muted and slowly forgotten

That is how you will be one day

This night I can’t fall asleep in So sad tonight

This night I can’t spend with you

In the midnight a a a midnight

This Midnight I can’t sleep from my thoughts of you

This night that found me again So sad tonight

This night I greet again without you

In the midnight a a a midnight a

This midnight I can’t fall asleep without you

You found me faster than the time I take to blink

The love that left me, dear you can’t do this to me

Enough, it’s enough, stop hurting me

This night I call pathetic never seems to end

Even though I don’t want to bring up past stories

But I must have really liked you

Continuously remembered and slowly yearning

As more time elapses

This night I can’t fall asleep in So sad tonight

This night I can’t spend with you

In the midnight a a a midnight

This Midnight I can’t sleep from my thoughts of you

This night that found me again So sad tonight

This night I greet again without you

In the midnight a a a midnight a

This midnight I can’t fall asleep without you

That little star twinkling above, comfort me

Tonight is the night where everything collapses with no where else to rest

That little star twinkling above, comfort me

Collapsing without anywhere to rest

The night I count the stars, the night that slowly transforms because of the changing seasons

However, this night is still the night I still can’t seem to fall asleep in sleep

This night that found me again So sad tonight

This night I greet again without you

In the midnight a a a midnight a

This midnight I can’t fall asleep without you
