Jepang dan Korea

Yang mau download OST Drama Korea, Jepang dan Taiwan langsung aja ke :
http://farelnine.blogspot.com/2008/11/download-ost-drama-asia.html

===========================================================

Selama ini gue merasa pengaruh Jepang dan Korea masih biasa aja. Tapi ternyata gue salah! Pengaruh Jepang dan Korea dalam bidang drama dan musik sangat besar. Di radio dan web yang sering disebut-sebut dan disukai adalah produk dari dua negara itu.

DRAMA KOREA

Di forum drama Korea selalu rame. Dan ini sudah berlangsung sejak empat tahun terakhir. Kapan ya persisnya? Kalau gue ngerasa waktu Full House muncul. Tapi bagi pecinta drama Korea, fenomena ini muncul sejak Endless Love atau Winter Sonata. Dari dua drama itu gue mengenal yang namanya drama Korea.

Tapi tetep favorit gue Sassy Girl Choon Hyang. Gila itu drama, kocaknya gak ketulungan. Tapi sedihnya juga parah. Bikin gue terharu aja sih. Dan gue ngerasa pasangan pemainnya cocok banget. Sun Choon Hyang dan Lee Mong Ryong yang diperankan Han Chae Young dan Jae Hee. Mereka punya chemistry. Jadi gue gak rela kalau salah satunya berpasangan dengan orang lain di drama yang lain. Huhuhu... gak rela. Maklum, gue abis nonton lagi SGCH. Akhirnya vcd gue bisa disetel di kompi. Horaaaaiiii...

Sekarang jangan tanya deh drama Korea yang beredar. Banyak banget. Dan banyak yang dijiplak. Bodo lah. Gue gak bakalan nonton jiplakan-jiplakan itu kok. Amit-amit. Huh! Hidup drama Korea. Padahal gue jarang nonton juga drama Koreanya. Hehehe...

MUSIK KOREA

Lagu Korea yang gue tahu cuma berasal dari soundtrack drama. Biar cuma ost tapi digarap dengan serius. Jadi antara lagu dengan cerita dramanya ada sebuah kesinambungan. Feelnya dapet. Lagu-lagu ost yang keren di antaranya berasal dari drama Full House, SGCH, My Girl, dll.

Di Korea dan beberapa negara Asia, grup Korea yang lagi booming adalah Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK). Gue denger namanya udah lama. Nggak nyangka banyak yang menggemari mereka. Di Radio Gaya (radio di kotaku), tiap aja lagu Asia, yang diminta lagu DBSK mulu. Bagus ya? Gue telat ya taunya. Abis gue bukan abg lagi sih. Hehehhe...DBSK kan personelnya masih muda-muda banget (terus emang kenapa?).

Selain DBSK, grup yang lagi naik daun adalah Super Junior (Suju) yang beranggotakan 13 orang (hei, jangan anggap 13 adalah angka sial). Kayanya gue mesti cari info lagi nih biar nggak ketinggalan jaman.

DORAMA JEPANG

Gue tau dorama Jepang dari gue sd kelas 6. Yang paling pertama itu Tokyo Love Story. Yang main Honami Suzuki dan Oda Yuji. Sejak itu gue mengidolakan Honami Suzuki. Doramanya dia yang gue pernah tonton adalah Deceitful, Love in Paradise dan Anchor Woman.

Apalagi ya yang gue suka? Pengetahuan gue sangat sedikit tentang dorama. Itu juga boleh nonton di Indosiar. Itazura na Kiss, GTO, Hana Yori Dango.

Sebelum nulis ini gue sempet buka-buka majalah. Maksud hati mau cari Tomoya Nagase dari grup Tokio. Katanya dia mirip Lamka (tokoh komik yang gue suka). Ketemu tuh grup Tokio-nya. Meskipun gue masih bingung menentukan apakah dia mirip Lamka. Ternyata gue menemukan juga grup Arashi. Di antara wajah-wajah personelnya gue mendapatkan dua buah kejutan. Salah satu personelnya, Sho, ternyata pemain dorama Yamada Taro Monogatari (versi Taiwan-nya adalah Poor Prince). Kejutan lain muncul pada personel lainnya Jun Matsumoto. Ternyata dia yang main Hana Yori Dango berperan sebagai Doumiyoji Tsukasa. Aaahhh... Dia pas banget meranin itu. Asli, keren! Salah satu lagu OST Hana Yori Dango dinyanyikan oleh Arashi. Pantesan aja. Personelnya kan main di sana. Hehehe... Pemain-pemain dorama itu ternyata berasal dari grup-grup yang sudah tenar sebelumnya. Selama ini gue kenalnya cuma sama Hideaki Takizawa dan takuya Kimura. Halah....jadi malu saya.

MUSIK JEPANG

Lagu Jepang yang gue tahu cuma sedikit, masih bisa dihitung dengan jari. Di antaranya First Love dan Sakura Drops-nya Utada Hikaru, OST-nya Tokyo Love Story, Kiseki-nya Hideaki Takizawa. Lagu-lagu lainnya gue tahu belum lama ini. Yang paling gawat itu Flower-nya Laruku. Itu lagu bikin gue gila. Gue sukaaaaaaa banget ama lagu itu. Tiap hari harus dengerin.

GUe coba dengerin lagi lagu Jepang yang ada di folder kompi. Udah disave dari kapan tau, tapi jarang didengerin. Sekarang nambah satu lagu favorit gue yaitu Paradox dari grup WINDS. Mudah-mudahan nanti gue nggak lupa buat dengerin lagi ya.

MANGA JEPANG

Satu lagi kelebihan Jepang dibanding negara lain. Selain ahli dalam bidang teknologi, Jepang juga menjadi raja dalam bidang komik/anime. Siapa sih yang kenal komik/anime Jepang? Dari kecil aja kita udah disuguhi DOraemon. Wah, wah.

Gue pribadi dari dulu kurang menggemari komik. Baru-baru ini aja baru suka. Gue beli beberapa komik baru, komik bekas, bahkan download dari web setelah mendapat info dari salah satu blogger.

Komik favorit gue yaitu Innocent Dragon-nya Miyuki Yamaguchi. Tokoh utama cowoknya, Lamka, itu keren banget. Nggak nyesel gue beli manga itu. Apalagi gue punya dari buku satu. Akan gue beli terus tiap jilidnya. Hahaha...belum pernah gue kayak gini. Tergila-gila oleh sebuah komik. Mungkin emang sekarang waktunya. Gue mulai suka komik dan Innocent Dragon terbit di saat-saat ini.

Siapa Yang Ikut-ikutan?

Orang bilang AFI itu ngikutin II. Siapa bilang? Disini gue akan mengajukan bukti-bukti. Buset, kayak di persidangan aja ya. Walaupun bagi orang-orang hal ini sudah dianggap basi, tapi gue masih penasaran. Biarin aja mereka cinta Idol. Tapi gue eneg, eneg banget. Acara datar abis gitu kok dibilang bagus. Huhuhu...payah kalian. Cuma menang nama tenar doank.

Yang di luar negeri dibilang keren, terus disini juga dibilang keren? Dasar nggak punya pendirian. Atau karena juri-jurinya selalu bilang bagus? Kapan sih jurinya pernah ngomong jelek? Pesertanya nyanyi bagus atau jelek, pasti tetep dibilang bagus. Peserta itu mereka yang milih. Kalau pesertanya jelek, berarti mereka ikut salah. Iya, kan? Oya, kalau pun ada yang dibilang jelek pasti setiap sesi cuma ada satu tumbal aja. Contohnya Delon atau Dirly, yang malah jadi juara. Huhuhu... langsung aja ya, gue tulis bukti-buktinya, dari tadi ngoceh terus.

1. Tia feat. Micky nyanyi Bring Me to Life, beberapa minggu kemudian Delon, Joy dan yang lainnya menyanyikan lagu itu dengan gaya ibu2 arisan (itu kata penontonnya II lho, gue cuma teringat dengan kata2nya)

2. Waktu GF AFI 2, Tia, Haikal dan Micky nyanyi lagu wajib, judulnya Tanah Airku. Di GF II, Nania menyanyikan lagu wajib juga dengan judul yang berbeda. Lucunya di GF selanjut2nya lagu wajib itu tidak dinyanyikan lagi. Hahaha...ikut2an banget kan?

3. Masih di GF AFI 2. Ada penonton dari kalaangan politik (karena waktu sedang dalam pemilihan presiden), yaitu SBY, Wiranto dan Puan Maharani (anaknya Megawati). Di GF II 1, mereka mengundang Akbar Tanjung yang langsung mendapat sambutan 'huuu..' dari penonton lain. Karena waktu itu AKbar Tanjung sedang punya nama yang jelek.

4. AFI 1 (Kia) menyanyikan lagu dari Glenn Fredly sebagai single hitsnya. AFI 2 (Tia) menyanyikan lagu milik Yovie Widianto. II 1 menyanyikan lagu Karena Cinta-nya Glenn Fredly. II 3 menyanyikan lagu Kemenangan Hati ciptaan Yovie Widianto. Hohohoho...ga ada pencipta lain ya? Kekekkeuuu...

5. Tahun 2004 AFI mengadakan sayembara mencipta lagu. Dan lagunya masuk di album AFI 2. II 4 (2007) juga melakukan hal yang sama. Ah, kreatif dikit donk!

Segitu aja deh. Nanti kalau diterusin yang baca pada shock lagi. hehehe...
