Okay I wanted to do this for a while every since I saw it on one of my favorite fanfiction writers(miracleshining)livejournal. Here it goes:You can learn a lot about someone by the music they listen to. So here is the game! Hit shuffle on your ipod or mp3 player and write down the first 25 songs.

Fast & Furious and TVXQ(DBSK)



Now I had to write something about this. It has been on my mind for a while. It all started when I went to the movies with my boyfriend to see Fast & Furious(a good movie). I was just sitting there enjoying the movie and then I hear it. It was during a chasing scene that we first see Paul Walker's character. Now I thinking my ears must be playing games with me. I thinking to myself was that TVXQ song Rising Sun that I heard. Now after I thought that I started to think maybe it is the song and some other artist did some kind of remake. It has always been on my mind since then and was wondering if I was the only one who spotted it. So when I finally bought the movie on dvd(I know I'm late) last week I watch the end credits and finally got my answer. It was them and I'm telling you I let my little fangirl came out at that moment(I don't let her come out that much). If you look at the Wikimedia page on their song Rising Song you can see that is says the same thing. This also remind me that I have to do a post just for TVXQ soon.

(Got this information from Wikipedia.com. So if some information is wrong I am sorry.)

Total is one of my favorite r&b groups from the nineties. I love they sound and would love to see them get back together. They are what you truly call a girl r&b group. Don't get me wrong I like some of the stuff that some of the girl groups put out today but nothing can beat r&b groups like Total and other r&b groups I will put up later. I was kind of young when they were out but I was old enough to know good music when I heard it. Some songs I love by them are Can't You See, Kissin' You, Do You Think About Us, and Trippin'. My favorite album by them is they self-titled album Total.
