おかえりなさい バニーちゃん！

May I please offer my absolute apologies for the absence of Bunny and I over the last 3 weeks or so. You may or may not know, depending on whether you read Bunny's personal spectacular blog, that we have been holidaying in Japan (I think she mentioned it, if briefly), the (other) land of dreams, (though it is often not talked about here). Actually, I got back last week, but Bunny only arrived home today. Bunny-chan, おかえりなさい!

I hope we haven't made you all too mad in the meantime!!

Please forgive us, for we still love K-pop just as much as we ever did, and maybe even a little bit more!

In fact, we spent half of the holiday in Korea towns (Tokyo's Shin-Okubo and Osaka's Tsuruhashi) carrying out field study, or doing prime research into Tower Records' K-pop displays and CD selections, or investigating the representation of Koreans on KBS world or other channels on Japanese television. I assure you there was no slacking.
In our absence though, there has been a whole plethora of happenings in need of comment, not least of all B1A4,

and Block B!


But please bear with us whilst we find our feet again. For Bunny especially, I think the recent reverse culture shock in returning from SE Asia may require a 'back hug' to make things just a little easier.
