[16.10.07 - Ameblo] #2


[16.10.07 - Ameblo] #2

Hello~~~~ It’s EXSY!
This is blog post #2 about my travels in Japan.
 
While I was there I went shopping for things for my mom and dad!
Since my mom likes it, I bought her some delicious coffee!
For my dad, whiskey~! And for my bro, some snacks.
 
Later I went to this cute little cafe and ate a panini.
All the food in Japan is just so delicious!!
 
I also watched this movie called “Your Name” but there were no subtitles so I gave up. It starts in January in Korea, it’s so far away, but I’ll wait.
 
We’re practicing the new songs for the performance in Japan!
You must listen to them!

See you soon!
Bye, pyon!

[16.08.23 - Ameblo] How are you doing?
 
Hello! It’s EXSY! It’s already almost the last week of August.
Last week I went to the beach! It was really great!
The sky was blue and the sea was blue, it was just a great blue world!
The sea in LA is the best! The sea in Japan is also really pretty, right? Someday I want to go to the beach in Japan.
I always walk from the dorm to the studio and back.
Hollywood is so cool, it’s always great to just watch what goes on around me.
I’ll continue to work hard on the album. Everyone, continue to do your best until the end of August as well!

Hello! It’s Sooyoon. (Since I’m in America, I’ve written (my name) in English. Hehe)
How are you all doing? I’m working on RP’s new music in America.
But on the weekend my close friend that I haven’t seen in 5 years came by and we went to the place I used to live.
I ate at an extremely delicious Thai restaurant called Banana Bay. The chicken fried rice was really tasty!!!
Ah, also- since you can play Pokemon Go in America, I tried it out. LOL.
Which Pokemon did I get… please try guessing!
Then, I’ll do my best to make songs! See you! Pyon~

[16.08.10 - Ameblo] It’s been a while!

Hello! It’s Shun. k k
Recently my Japanese teacher has recommended me a Japanese-like name of “Shun”.
Actually, my brother has given me the Korean nickname of “KimSyoon.”
So, it’s a win-win, since I have the same name as Oguri Shun.
I’ve come to LA!
It’s great.
This is our studio.
(Truthfully I don’t even know exactly what this machine here does) h
The meal to be had in the studio is always pizza~~
I’ll write again!
Pyon!!
