  1. Dear Diadem-ers,

    SacredCultivator reporting in!

    Although I know in the past when I was first told about a possible face-lift to the site I was super excited about it. I remember I even joked in I think it was either Shoutbox or Staff Skype Room about wanting a dark-themed layout… And seems I didn’t get that but quite the opposite =P No complaints about that as it looks great, so shall just leave my brightness at lowest so I don’t sting my eyes in the morning/night when I check the site. Thank goodness for F.lux though ^_^

    As with the new Site Re-design, I thought I’d take the opportunity to just write up a little something something, essay =X to show my appreciation for Diadem.

    I registered here back in December ’12, not too long back and felt super welcomes into the community and only shortly after did I take a stab at becoming a Fansubber for Diadem and the staff was wonderful enough to accept me into their family. Became super active with their subbing ventures and continue doing so where I can help. So got to show some love towards some of the Staffers I got to become friends with, craZy, jimmy, Inkira and can’t forget Elly.

    Shortly after helping in the fansubbing department, we heard news of T-ara coming to the states and that’s when I had my first experience meeting some of the awesome staff of Diadem (Let’s list a few; Mark, Wilson, Meg, Tony C., and Kirby {I hope I didn’t leave anyone out}) Due to them was able to experience some things I didn’t think I’d ever get to, so huge thanks goes out to them.

    Hmm, yes this is starting to turn out to be more of just a thank you shout out than towards the new site redesign… but I thought if anything this was a great opportunity for me to express my appreciation =)

    Despite my short time here on Diadem, can’t emphasize on just how great the community is from what I’ve experienced thus far.

    With this fresh look, we’ve also prepared the full DVD of T-ara’s Europe trip and boy what a fun project that was to break up and release as Chapters and to finalize everything to prepare and release the Full DVD for those that prefer it in that format. Also not to mention, the release time of it was very fitting and we were able to get it completed in time for it. So I do hope that for those that haven’t seen it when we released them in chapters, to go and grab it now to watch it in its entirety.

    Throughout the numerous accomplishments that Diadem has done up till now, I’ll continue to support it, although perhaps not in monetary ways, definitely in providing subtitles to the fans that don’t understand Korean / Japanese as well as possibly making it out to events where my services may be needed. I may not be actively posting on the forums except for the subbing side of the forums, but I’m present on it daily.

    Okay this post is getting too long now, so I shall just end it with a few random shoutouts to a few others that have made my stay at Diadem super awesome. So thank you to the League of Legend-ers that have added me, which includes yogiblowski, darkbend, Elienore and Signature Envy. A few other randomers would be to Johana and Erica.

    So going to end this with another huge huge thanks to all those that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting / getting to know and here’s to future endeavors towards our love of T-ara / Diadem! Fighting~

    {So… who actually read all that? =X}

  2. Oo I think for this thread, you should have it to where people just list their rankings for said Solo's. THey can still vote for the best, but also list the others.

    It'll cause for more discussion if that's the goal =)

    Hmm I guess I might as well give this one a shot...
    (For the record my Bias => Boram/Hyomin)

    Ranking:
    1. Soyeon: I'm a sucker for ballads and I won't deny that Soyeon does well for these sort of songs. Pacing is just right, soothing.

    2. Areum: The pacing is freaking awesome and the rap doesn't take away from the song at all. The stutter/repetition (rap start) actually worked and wasn't too overly done. I thought she'd be using a deeper voice like she had in let's say, Sexy Love. But worked out to be more higher-pitched in this.

    3. Jiyeon: She used her deep voice!!! LOVE IT!!! The song just flows/fits her so well. And the English at the end is a nice touch, not butchered. Just love this one a lot, but sadly Areum still wins over her even though I like Jiyeon more.

    4. Hyomin: With much hype of this (Thank you SB), sadly... Ranking isn't as high as I thought it'd be. Sounds fantastic don't get me wrong. But I think I'm more disappointed that they added an effect to her voice to make the song/singing not as clear as I'd hope it'd be. The English... ehh not too great I'd say {Yeah for my English there huh?} I think due to the downsides this dropped to 4th where if things were done right, it was an easy 2nd.

    5. Boram: Honestly was hoping she'd use her deeper toned voice, but this one works as well. Sounds super Japanese-y but I love it in comparison to Qri's.

    6. Eunjung: I'll admit this one is quite catchy, and the echos work and aren't overused which is good. Her voice sounds pretty angelic with a good touch of that deepness, good mix. She says "Two As One" pretty fluently, so another plus!

    7. Qri: Looking she says my last name at the start. But overall, just didn't do it for it, wasn't too impressed.
