4 Minute - 4 Minutes left

Yup, I'm doing another CD review because I didn't get enough complaints! But this one's going to be really different to my SHINee one so you HAVE to comment which style you prefer.
4 Minute is a 5 member girl group from Cube Entertainment. Their debut was June 2009 and have since released four Korean singles. It was not until 2011 that released an album - 4 Minutes left.
When I got the CD, I must admit, I was not that interested! I mainly bought it because it was only £10. But it's really good! 4 Minute are really energetic and you can hear that in their album, so much so that you can't help but dance along! The two big songs on the album are Mirror Mirror and Heart to Heart, as they as they were the two songs 4 Minute performed on music shows at the time. The two songs show completely different sides of the girls.

You're Beautiful

Yes! It's another K-drama! It's only my second one but I'm starting to really look forward to them!
You're Beautiful is a drama about cross-dressing and stardom. Go Mi Nyeo is a sister-in-training and is soon travelling to Rome to complete her training. However, on her while performing tasks for her Superior Mother a strange black van starts following her. As it turns out her twin, Go Mi Nam, as been offered a once in a life time job oppurtunity: to work as a singer for much-loved boy band A.N.JELL. Unfortunately Go Mi Nam had an incident with some cosmetic surgery and can't make it to sign the contract. So Go Min Nam's Manager, Ma, persuades his sister to sign it. But what Go Mi Nyeo doesn't realise is that once she's signed that contract she is part of the band, that means living in the dorm and following the schedules like all the other members.

Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan (Royal Doll Orchestra)

Happy New Year every one!!!!!!!!! Sorry I didn't post last week! I thought I'd take Christmas Day off, but since that upset some of my followers I'll try not to do that again!! ^^
Well, haven't I got a treat for you to day, it's a manga! That's right I still review manga! This manga was recommended to me under the name Royal Doll Orchestra, but you can't find much under that name. Most places use either the Japanese name or the French one. It looks like 19th century France but it's entirely different. In this dimension a dreadful virus has spread the world, like a plague. If you become infected by this plague you transform into something like a zombie doll. 'Cracks' appear on your body, your joints pertrude oddly and you lose all sanity and humane thoughts. The virus is spread if a contaminated 'human', called Guignols, bite you or if their blood enters your body. So it's like a Zombie apocalypse.
Lucille is a an extremely pretty guy, who enjoys using his feminine face to cross-dress and fool others about his gender. He is the conductor and singer of the secret orchestra who will play any melody requested as long as they are paid enough. This includes the forbidden melody's that can cause strange things to happen to the Guignols. Also in the secret orchestra is Gwindel, the silent giant who plays the Cello and Kohaku, the hot-headed one who plays violin.
