Just ‘Cause: This is the Definitive “Let It Go” Cover/Reenactment from Frozen
Oh, those crazy Koreans. I still haven’t seen the film, Frozen, judge me all you want, but I feel like at this point, I don’t even need to anymore. This is as faithful a reenactment/cover of “Let It Go” as it can get. It’s also one of the most Double-you Tee Eff clips you’ll watch in a while. It’s entertaining, in a disturbing-almost-cringe-worthy-yet-hilarious kind of way. I’m both impressed and bewildered.
Why? Just ‘Cause.

Arden Cho x Anthony Lee Star In a New Wong Fu Short – ‘This Is How We Never Made Up’
When you have a video with dancer Anthony Lee and singer/actress Arden Cho, it’d be reasonable to expect a musical collaboration of some sort. But this time both decided to flex their acting chops in this new short from Wong Fu. Anyone who’s been in a relationship can likely relate to this one. Pride’s a beezy, no? It’s good we can laugh about it though.

The Mid-Week Music Video Mini-Reviews Youtube Round-Up – 4/9/14
Hello, dear friends! We skipped a couple weeks but we’re back with the mini-review round-up and this one is a little heftier than normal. We are playing catch-up after all! But we’re bringing you nearly a dozen new music videos along with some brief commentary which you’re more than welcome to agree or disagree with and voice your own opinion! Enjoy.
DANakaDAN x Priska – “Don’t Go Where I Can’t Follow”
I wasn’t quite sure whether to peg this as a remix or an original that samples/borrows heavily from Rihanna’s “Stay”. I’ve opted to lean towards the latter – not that it matters though because either way this is a strong collaboration between Dan & Priska. Dan has always had an unconventional flow that is better suited to different genres of music other than straight Hip-Hop. So he definitely played to his strengths with this one – plus it’s set against an emotionally charged video that is pretty well made.
G.R.L. Featuring for Pitbull – “Wild Wild Love”
Even though Pitbull has been impossible to escape in Top 40 music the past couple years, this is one case I actually don’t mind too much. First and foremost, it has a lot to do with Emmalyn and her group, G.R.L., being prominent guest features on the track video. Secondly, it’s kind of a catchy song – and not in an annoying way. Video is standard Pop fare but everyone’s looking sharp.
AJ Rafael – “Matchmaker”
AJ & company make great use of a space to bring distinctly unique feels to this music video. It’s a fun watch set to the Pop/Rock tune and though it may not be as lavish as some of his other work – it gets the job done nicely. It almost reminded me of classic footage from American Bandstand from decades ago.
Kina Grannis & Friends – “Dear River”
Kina’s next project, Elements, ain’t too far away and with promotions ramping up we have this lyric video for “Dear River”. But what’s especially notable is the number of special cameos who help bring a little extra fun to the festivities. Ryan Higa, Kevjumba, Wong Fu, Sam Tsui, David Choi, Marie Digby, and Clara C all make appearances – and that’s just to name a few. I’m definitely looking forward to the album.

This Final Fantasy Inspired Dance Battle Between Kinjaz & Quest is a Must See
Battling has always been a mainstay of Hip-Hop dance culture, but I can pretty much guarantee you’ve never seen it presented quite like this. Mike Song, an admitted Final Fantasy fanatic, has taken his love for the RPG series and used his passion for dance to pay a stylized homage combining the two. He enlisted the help of a few friends, mainly from Quest Crew and his Kinjaz brethren, along with some very talented video folks to bring this project to fruition and make it a reality. It’s an impressive and entertaining watch, through and through.
f I had the budget to make an entire dance movie… it would probably look a little something like this. In lieu of the new Final Fantasy releases, I wanted to create another video in the spirit of the Final Fantasy franchise. What started off as nothing but a simple “fantasy” (ha…ha…), transformed into an entire production. This is the first time I’ve tried to organize something with this many heavy hitters involved. It was definitely a learning process, but I am so grateful to have been able to collaborate with so many talented individuals on so many different levels. This would not have been possible without every single person who was involved with this project.
Secret Assassins: Ellen Kim, Jazmyne Jenkins, Megan Batoon, Happy Chad
Kinjaz: Anthony Lee, Justin Valles, Michael Fallorina, Michael Lor, Mike Song, Steven Lor
Quest: Aris Paracuelles, Hokuto Konishi, Jolee, Ryan Conferido, Steve Terada

Emmalyn Estrada & the Rest of G.R.L. Join Pitbull to Perform on Jimmy Fallon
See that picture above? That’s Emmalyn Estrada doing her thing as a supporting artist (as a part of G.R.L.) for Pitbull as they perform his new single “Wild Wild Love” on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Personally, I’m not exactly a gigantic Pitbull fan, as his music has gotten repetitive and overplayed but this song ain’t half bad. I’m sure this was a huge moment for Emmalyn and the rest of the group, and we’re happy to see them making moves.

BoA Stars in the Dance Film, ‘Make Your Move’, With Derek Hough
International film releases are always kind of an interesting affair, especially in terms of release dates. While this film apparently dropped in parts of Europe and Asia last fall, it will see it’s South Korean and US debut in a couple weeks on the 17th and 18th of April respectively. The movie in question is Make Your Move, a dance film featuring the KPOP superstar, BoA, along with DWTS alum, Derek Hough.
Interestingly enough, it appears BoA’s character is of Japanese descent and the entire production looks reminiscent of Step Up, Honey, and Save the Last Dance. Oh, and apparently the black guy from City Guys is still acting.
Anyway, it’s been a number of years since BoA‘s attempt to crossover into the US entertainment industry, let’s hope this time fares better for her!
