All of them are good at dancing and singing as singer's qualification.

So they never move the pitch while dancing.

and Their music taste is unique and free in the understated dancing gesture.

Susan's favorite artist : Antoni Gaudi

Antoni Gaudi was born in 1852 in Riudoms or in Reus of Spain.

Gaudi's exact birthplace is unknown because no supporting documents have been found.
When he was 17, he started studying architecture.Gaudi died on 10 June 1926 at the age of 73. Between 1984 and 2005, seven of his works were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. When I saw his works for the first time, I thought they were very interesting and amazing.

His works are the reason that I want to visit Spain. Gaudi devoted his life entirely to his profession. He graduated from school of architecture in Barcelona. In 1878, He worked independently. He lived alone in whole his life. He got hit by a streetcar and he died on 10 June 1926. His masterpiece, the still-uncompleted Sagrada Família, is one of the most visited monuments in Spain.

Aiko Favorite Artist : MIKA

My favorite artist is MIKA who is a pop singer-songwriter. He lives in England and is 28 years old. He often uses falsetto, so he has many high-tone songs. He released the first song on the internet in 2006. After that, he released his first CD and got 1 prize on the England music chart and many European country's music charts in 2007. Then he became famous in Europe. Then he really likes Japanese cultures. He also said that he was affected by Japanese singers.

Yuko's favourite singer

Mr.Children

They are from Tokyo in Japan, and they were classmates in a high school. They started the band in 1985 and made it debut a few times after a change of members. They still playing the band. Because the vocalist makes their lyrics and songs, also their songs have empathetic lyrics. Because my parents like the band, so I've been listening to it since I was a child. The vocalist had a cerebral infraction. Tomorrow never knows is one of the most famous songs they made.

Naseer Shamma started in Iraq 1938. He is alive in Holland. He is famous because of his beautiful music but there sections very beautiful this name Al A'amiriya. I like this music because it is relaxing, classic and not annoying. Naseer Shamma writes music. He is a mastro. The artist’s most famous work is Al Wood.

Finally, in Al A'amiriya there is a section of music about the description of war on Iraq.

Al A'amiri

Na Yun Kwon

He is from Korea and he was born on 14. May 1984.

In 2004 , he released his first self-titled debut album as a ballad singer. The title of the album is " Addiction". His first formal album consists of 14 songs. One of them which I like among his albums is in it. If you were a Korean the same ages like me , you would know the song is " If me... "

The reason that I like him is his voice. Whenever you hear his voice , I am sure that you fall in love with his voice.

The most resent song is maybe "you are my everything". It is so difficult to translate the song's title for me. The story is a man who really loved her but he always was afraid of hurting his mind so he tried to conceal his mind. Even though he did that, he could not help expressing his mind to her because he loved her too much.

Fan's favorite band

My favorite band is Beyond. There are four people in this band. All are from Hong Kong.This band started in 1983 and ended in 1993. Just 10 years. But they have made many famous songs in the last 10 years.Most of their works are Rock，genera,reggae and all is talk about families,friends,peace,racial discrimination.When I listen to their music I'm often touched. Their music advocates no war no racial discrimination and need honest between family and friends. I see a different world in their music. But now the singer of the band is dead. He died in Japan. This band made a video and the stage is very slippery, the singer fell down from stage to the floor maybe 3 meters.He was just 31 years old. After this other 3 people finished the last concert then quit making music. This is a reason of why this band just presence 10 years. But now there are many people still love their works.

The beginning of this band is that the lead vocalist, Gerard Way, was influenced by 9.11in 2001 and he decided to start the band. So their music genre is called punk rock and the words have strong messages to the society. Their most famous work is probably the third album called The Black Parade. They released this album in 2006, won the award for Best International Band at the 2007 NME Awards, and Gerard Way also won the Hero of the Year award. This album is also voted the 20th best album of the year.

My Traditional Clothes

I will talk about my traditional clothes which is hanbok. As you know, most of the country has their own clothes. For instance, there are kimono and hanbok.
Hanbox's features are long sleeves,skirt and very colorful. We usually wear it on long holidays such as new year's day and thanks giving day to celebrate our ceremony. Nowadays, people who are just elder usually wear it because it is not as comfortable as modern clothes.
Therefore, as far as I know, we should keep hanbok from disappearing. The way of preservation is to make new type of hanbok for modern people. More comfortable, more convenient.
