To recap this far: Danny recently visited Seoul, so we met up and got to interview him. We talk from everything from his favorite milk tea, AKB48 vs NMB48, his company mascot Mirai, doll-making, and languages. Toss in some random jokes and a waffle during the interview and we have ourselves a humorous interview!
Since the interview was quite long (about 18 minutes and 30 seconds), we split it into two parts.

Let's dance with Pikachu! We attended the madness at Minatomirai, Yokohama, to witness hordes of dancing Pikachu on the streets and on the stage. This is the second year Minatomirai has held this event, so we're definitely going to attend if it's going to happen next year.

Cosplay, over 20,000 LoL fans from all over the world, the staff of Riot Games, and two talented teams playing for 1 million USD made this event incredible.
Rather than get into the strategic detail of the match between Star Horn Royal Club and Samsung White, we wanted to capture the LoL experience on ground zero. Enjoy!
A special thanks goes out to Riot Games, Josh, and Elliot. To check out Elliot's YouTube page, TreePotatoes, check it out below:

As the very last group to perform, many fans stayed the entire five hours (6:00 pm to 11:00 pm) of the concert to see them.
Seeing SNSD perform "Mr. Mr."'s dance routine was pretty cool, as their official MV does not show them dancing too much. Here, we get to these their full moves (at least when the camera crane isn't blocking the way!)

We hit up the prestigious Golden Disk Awards here in Seoul, Korea on January 17th, 2014. I must say that SHINee had one of the most impressive performances with "Everybody". In fact, many fans and producers debate which routine is better: EXO's "Growl" or SHINee's "Everybody".
In the end, "Everybody" wins (yes, this was an attempt at a bad joke ^^)
We hit up the prestigious Golden Disk Awards here in Seoul, Korea on January 17th, 2014. EXO brought the house down with "EXO" to the adulation of many cheers, shouts, singing, especially from teenage girls. The video really doesn't do all the cheering justice, as my ears hurt from all the screaming.
Congrats on the 12 guys for winning the 2013-2014 Daesang award!

Since the interview was quite long (about 18 minutes and 30 seconds), we split it into two parts.
During Ailee's acceptance speech for winning one of the "Top 10 songs of 2013" for "U & I", the fans came out in full support. As you can hear, it was incredibly loud, as chants of "Ailee" were heard.
Here's a rough translation on what she said during her acceptance speech: "It really means a lot to me that you guys supported me, that you guys believed in me, despite everything that's been going on. Thank you so much."
We feel, over here, at Green Tea Graffiti (GTG), that we should support Ailee. Being in a scandal isn't cool, nor fun. We'd like to promote people, rather than tear them down.
We're hoping you feel the same :)

A special thanks goes to both J-Rabbit and Urban Zakapa for signing our CDs, taking pics with us, and being cool when meeting us.
They performed their popular hit, "Growl", to the masses of screaming teenage fans. To say it was loud was an understatement, as the fans chanted literally every lyric during the song!

During mid-September here in Korea, Koreans celebrate the mid-autumn festival called Chuseok (추석). Known as the Korean Thanksgiving, the holiday is a three day event, with the 2nd day being the main day. Many Koreans leave Seoul to visit their relatives (unless their whole family lives in Seoul). Lots of eating, talking, and paying respect to ancestors happen.
Other families skip the traditional Chuseok festivities above and travel to nearby countries, such as Japan, China, or the Philippines, for a much needed vacation.
But for us foreigners, it can get quite lonely, as a city of 10+ million people becomes more of a ghost town. So does Seoul a literal ghost town during the three day vacation holiday? We roam the streets of my neighborhood during the morning to find out!

It was pretty crazy being in the front, as the major news stations, like KBS and SBS, were right in front of us. It was pretty hard to get some good recording shots. But at the same time, we wouldn't trade being 30 feet away from the ladies of Sistar either :)

Enjoy the video and hopefully, we all learned some new things about Shing02 and Nujabes.
