A New Fever - DBSKer <--- My Vote For Leading Blog/Blogger

For my English 112 class, one of our assignments was to find a blog/blogger that we felt was the leading blogger on our subject. I searched google under blogs for hours but I was not able to find a blog/blogger who I felt did a great job on explaining Japanese culture. So, after much thought, and endless hours of looking for a good blog, I decided that a blog/blogger who I think is doing a great job is the blogger at A New Fever - DBSKer. This blog is not focused on Japanese culture but instead on a particular Japanese/Korean music group called Tohoshinki (Dong Bang Shin Ki, TVXQ, DBSK). The members of this group are Korean but they sing in Korean and Japanese so I consider them part of Japanese entertainment as well as Korean. I visit this blog often and I am never disappointed. This blogger keeps their blog up to date and visually appealing. There is tons of information, pictures, music, and videos of this particular music group I like. This blog has many "official" followers but there could be many more "lurkers" viewing this site also. I actually was a "lurker" until I made my own blog but now I am proud to be an "official" follower. By the way, a "lurker" is someone who views a blog or web site with out commenting or being a follower. And, if for any chance, the author of A New Fever - DBSKer is reading this post of mine, I just want to say keep up the good work! Your blog is amazing!

I went to their web page and loved the photos! Also got to watch the music video "Wrong Number" which I found interesting as it was in what I assume was koren and what I know was english. Is it common to blend languages in the music industry of the asian culture?
Also your music on your blog freaks me out because I'm not used to music coming up on blogs and this always surprise me. One might think I would get used to it, but no, I jump every time!

Louise,
Yes, it is very common to blend languages in Asian music. This group that the site is dedicated to even has some songs with Korean and Japanese together. I enjoy it when I hear songs with some english in it. "Wrong Number" was in Korean with a few English words here and their. This group's Japanese music is really good too. I have one of their songs that plays on my blog occasionaly. And I apologize that my music scares you, there is a button to turn it off so maybe next time it wont scare you! At least my music isint scary with lots of yelling!
