Andy Suzuki – 300 Pianos

Andy Suzuki, a half-Japanese half-Jewish singer/song writer, entered the radio waves last night on Thursday November 5th with an exclusive interview on KromeRadio, which is based in the studios of UICRadio at the University of Illinois in Chicago, gathering a wide range of audience, not only from the local students, but also worldwide with a live social media interaction through Twitter and their Radio Chatroom at Crunchyroll.com

Andy sings mostly in English. He recently released his album titled “300 Pianos” with 13 beautiful songs. He also plans to break into the Asian market, starting with Japan. Yes, he can sing in Japanese too. He made a really nice cover of Angela Aki’s “Tegami”.

Some of his music influences are Jason Mraz and John Mayer and started writing songs at Brown University. He expanded his sound by linking up with percussionist Kozza Babumba (grandson of Grammy-winner Babatunde Olatunji) and electric violinist Jason G. The three of them started recording their first CD with “300 Pianos” powerful meaning based on Andy’s father’s battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. And with talent of Aviad H-C (guitar), Jon Kraus (drum kit), and Nicolai Kaarsen (bass) together they all become Andy Suzuki & The Method.

Now, Andy plays both acoustic and full band shows, selling out reputable clubs in NYC such as Sullivan Hall, The Bitter End, and Rockwood Music Hall. He performs at schools and venues up and down the east coast.

In this CF you can see the boys asking viewers to donate to the Soft Hands, Kind Heart fund. The CF will be aired for a month starting today on Olive TV.

The campaign’s logo, a handprint, is supposed to represent one’s voice yelling “No!” to human rights crimes against children and teenagers. The Body Shop stated, “We would like for this campaign to produce a solution and aggressively raise society’s awareness of the crime of raping children and teenagers. We hope that many people will take interest in the campaign and participate not just because 2PM is the advertiser.”

Here are some behind-the-scenes of the film making.

This is how they were making the T-shirts and part one of the photo shoot:

I am loving the Orange ‘red head’ of Lee Hong Ki. I know its just my personal opinion. But I think it actually fits his face features.
My favorite is JaeJin’s new look. The dorky-nerdy look is what captivates me! They actually created the best dorky look ever with the glasses and appropriate clothing!
What do you think? Please comment! ^_^

2PM To Start Their Own Sitcom

2PM will be starring in their own sitcom titled Wild Bunny. The sitcom will air on July 21st. Even though MNet has a lot of history of working together with 2PM, like in Mnet Hot Blood, Mnet Scandal and other shows, they managed to misspelled the boys’ names. Starting with ‘Jae Bum’ which is acceptable to romanization, but ‘Taek Youn’ and ‘Nickun’.. thats really unacceptable! Specially with with ‘Nickun’ , they completely omitted the 2 letter H in his name Nichkhun.

Additional information according to 2oneday :
“Chansung is to have a love line with one of the high school girls on the sitcom while Junsu will play the role of someone who talks to objects. Junho is to appear also as someone who is passionate for dancing and has celebrity posters all over his room.

Taec is to play a model who just came from America to Korea for some business. He apparently liked to party it up in America and I found his script on naver. The first scene starts off with him in the airport and he’s wearing a suit. The weather gets to him and he starts speaking Konglish and takes off his suit jacket. He lands himself in a cafe and starts acting all smart with his English, asking the waitress if their ingredients are organic and stuff. When the waitress comes back with his order, he tilts his sunglasses down and winks at her. Unfortunately, she thinks he’s creepy. But seeing her name as Eun Hee and not a waitress, I think she’s bound to come back up during the sitcom.
The girls that are appearing on the sitcom are the girl from Idol Army Episode 3 (the high school girls who had a show with Junjin as their dad).”
