All right, for [livejournal.com profile] aetherangelette's delicate sensibilities and superior knowledge of Korean pop, let me amend myself:

서태지 (Seo Taiji) : Korean pop :: Kurt Cobain : American rock

There, that way I get to cover the male part of the spectrum too, and approximate the genre. But seriously, the amount of screaming adolescent girls in the 서태지 constituent is a little off-putting. As Angelette implies, he isn't just mainstream, he defined mainstream.

That reminds me, a better analogy for the Justin Timberlake of Korean pop music would probably be 강타 (Kangta). Except 강타 is about a hundred times girlier and has a better voice--well, as far as I know. The one time I heard him sing was when he was a guest on this celebrity karaoke comedy show, and he had to sing this theme song to a Korean children's cartoon.

Yours &c.

That's a better analogy. ^__^

Too many shapes in the background (thin them out and make them more glowing/transparent), put some nebula in the stars, define the ball of glowing light in her hands more clearly and get rid of the lens flare? That's all I can think of...and I don't even know if the suggestions are any good. -_-;; Try it out anyway?

Waaah! Replied too late! I already posted on MT and our site. Go have a look and be disappointed. =X

Actually the sky is really, really pretty! It's the shapes that look odd, that's all...^_^

Oh yeah, I think you should amend your update with a response to Zdenek's post in the shoutbox: it is inappropriate for him to request that we remove links to MT on our site and our works simply because he has problems with that forum. In the future, it would be better if he discussed his concerns with us privately.

I also think you ought to delete his comment: it borders on being rude. Removal requested indeed.
