10.10.27 2AM Live in 3D "2AM SHOW" Showcase + Recording

2AM recorded their special showcase for Saint o'clock today with hundreds of selected lucky fans to start their comeback activities and the recorded 3D version of this showcase will be released in 12 theaters all over S.Korea in December.All four guys looked dashing in their brand new stage outfits and according to fanaccounts they performed superbly too,especially the new songs.I'm thinking that airing the showcase in theaters will be a good step to promote 2AM's 3-days-straight first ever Concert that will be happening late in December and it is also going to go a long way in introducing 2AM's capabilities and music to the general public,especially those who already knows of their songs but is yet to be a devoted fan.One of 2AM's special uniqueness in my eyes would be their capability of attracting fans from various age groups and also both the female and male audience due to their undeniable talent as great vocalists and friendly personalities,and I hope with the showcase being aired in theaters more people will be able to learn more about 2AM the singing group,after witnessing much of  their skills and comedic talent on variety shows and such all this while.

Fans who attended the showcase were raving about the overall look of the whole stage set in their fanaccounts and when I finally saw the photos I could understand their reactions.Originally I was a little bit apprehensive that the stage would not be up to par for a show that is being recorded in 3D for its theater release but thankfully my fears were proven pointless;Big Hit Ent obviously did their research properly and was well-prepared in executing the event.Now I wish they would release a DVD of this showcase so other fans out of Korea can enjoy the experience as well.

The showcase was recorded in two parts and one of the highlights from the performances (aside from the double titles being performed in front of fans for the first time) would be the Acoustic version of "What Do I Do".I'll put up the audio track of that particular performance on this blog some time later,I promise.

10.10.18 Saint o'clock First Teaser - Now There's No More/Nothing Left Now

Last night was a joy for all 2AM fans,especially so for Kwonnie fans.Not only did his appearance on KJE's Chocolate was finally aired(AND they didn't edit out Endless Love,yay!!) Big Hit Entertainment released the first ever teaser off Saint o'clock when the clock struck 12 am,and too many fans were loading AM's webpage simultaneously that the server went crashing down in merely 2-3 minutes!Along with the less than 60 seconds long teaser they also released a brand new concept photo,and oh my god did the deadly combination off both the song AND the image took my breath away.

Okay,so I didn't exactly stop breathing but it more like robbed my capability to think straight for a while.And then when I realized that this teaser wasn't even going to be their title track,that just stunned me even more.Because it was REALLY good;and if something that good was not made their title track..it kinda made me nervous,yet at the same time excited to think about how AWESOME the title track is going to be.

In this teaser I was impressed by how the guys were working their vocals in ways I've never heard them do previously and it all produced an overall devastating effect;the expectation I had for the past few weeks have all been blown away by this short teaser,and now after listening to the teaser of Now There's No More repeatedly I think I have developed an even higher expectation for the title track and of course for the rest of the album.I think I'm beginning to understand why PD Bang Shin Hyuk had such a confidence to allow our boys to promote double titles this time around,and ahh aren't we lucky to be fans of 2AM to be able to experience this chance.I've always known the boys are talented vocalists through their previous 4 albums  but perhaps through this album they will be surpassing all the expectations I had of them as "an idol group who can sing really well" and they will finally be just a real vocal group who does not need anything else to rely on except for good music and real,brilliant talent as vocalists.

 

And how about the way our Kwon looked here in this new photo?Hot,edgy,fierce,mysterious and just..intense.LOVED IT.

The Saint o'clock counter has been reset again,and I believe in a few hours we will be listening to another brand new teaser and hopefully a brand new photo too.Geez if this is going to go on for the next few days until the full album is released I'll probably go down with a flu or something cuz every time the clock struck midnight I'll be listening to the teasers and then I will be too excited to sleep,and then the next day I'll do the same thing again,and then I'll do it again.Oh well,they did say that Love is Pain..

Coming Soon! Saint o'clock!!!

Gahh..I'm excited!!This immediately became my wallpaper the moment I saw it:

It's our first glimpse at the concept of 2AM's upcoming first full album and I am thrilled beyond description.Looking back at previous concepts 2AM had for their albums; This Song(practically ZERO concept),Confession of A Friend,Can't Let You Go Even If I Die,I Did Wrong and now THIS,you will easily understand and probably will be able to relate to my unsuppressed joy.Especially even more so when you compare the kind of styling and conceptualization that their brother group has received over the years for each album project - the unfairness of it all - you will agree with me that FINALLY it feels like  2AM is receiving everything that they should have been receiving from the very beginning.This photo right here looks GREAT,and it hints at an unpredictable music style as well as better a quality product from 2AM in this project ,and I cannot be more exhilarated!

2AM in black suits is a major weakness of mine,and how could I not love it when that point is so wonderfully exploited here?And I'm sure many fans share the same thoughts like I do.And Kwondaejang always looks amazing in suits that are the PERFECT fit for him(no,you're not included in that list you baggy,ill-fitting Bali wedding suit!) courtesy of his beautifully built upper body and magnificent shoulders,so to say that I practically whooped with joy when I saw this photo would be an understatement.Those leggings he had to wear during CLYGEIID promotion days still give me the shivers whenever I see them nowadays,and I meant shiver in a bad way.

I won't say much about the hair,except that I am so thankful that this time around the stylist did not chop off most of his hair or gave him a glaringly out-there hair colour.But I must say that I hope to see both of Kwondaejang's beautiful eyes when 2AM are performing on stage for this promotion; to watch Kwon's eyes as he is singing so wholeheartedly is a reward on it's own,do you hear me?PD Bang?

 

Look at that gentleman who's waiting there under the rain with the black umbrella..

I wonder what he's thinking about.

As 2AM will be promoting double title tracks and releasing 2 version of albums this time around,it is hotly speculated right now that the other concept will be an exact opposite of the one that has been released,but I'm sure I will love the other concept as well.Kwon has been talking about how he's been receiving vocal lessons and that the new song is "hard" but knowing 2AM and how good they could be,I believe they will not dissappoint me and other fans.Right now,I'll just take my gorgeous Black AM with me and just enjoy them to my heart's content while waiting for their new music,thank you very much.=)
