guys. it's not even funny. Rainbow series still have a lot of progressing to be done yet this came. well, this is not an official series like ZE:A Series or Rainbow Ramblings. at least, not yet. i'm scared of my incontrollable greed. but i was finding inspiration to update fanfic...and it brought me to great place. here. the group might not have my favouritest songs though decent/good enough(i mean, it was the same case with ZE:A really)...but...if all else come n go...they're always there to stay...in my heart. hahahah, omygosh...cheesy much.

well just intro for the nth time...before there was jumper or teentop or stellar, or 100%...or all the other groups fans trying to relate shinhwa to their idols...there was the original official protege, that was Battle. legit. glorious. awesome. wasted. and forgotten. (even in recent years when i go search for them n found sites that write about forgotten/unknown/underrated idols n write about Battle...generally, there's hardly anything bad reviewed about them. the opposite in fact. why? duh, cuz they're awesome. lol<-what an annoying promo rite?.lol.)

^ Dongwan's pick quit the group before debut n later joined SunnyHill. Dongwan chose another member to replaced him. honestly i love his choices the best when it comes to picking talents. but really, the Shinhwa members seemed to chose the participants that really resemble them/their style/talents/specialty/anything...lol.

Battle is never the second Shinhwa though, even if they were promoted as it,putting them in the shadow...making some shinhwa fans love 'em n some dislike 'em(you know, remember the drama Strongest Kpop Survival? M2 n M2 Junior...yeah...M2 Junior remind me just a lil bit of Battle...in the way M2 fans reacted to them thinking they're trying to take over oppar, and the change when M2 member asked them to support M2 Junior.). anyway, they're just Battle. Shinhwa's original protege, that sadly had it hard n well...abandoned by the company that later disappeared i guess...i wished Shinhwa had taken more care of them...instead of creating new groups...but it's not like i could blame them. feeling a little bitterness is inevitable though seeing all their other groups.

^ during their last single before the endless hiatus. Shin Kihyun, the tall giant pretty boy had left the group by this time, leaving them as five member group. though he's still close buddies with the members until today. (and even doing military with Taehwa now xD)

since i'm writing Ryu as a crazy person in fanfic now...i've to find an inspiration bcuz honestly his character had been a little dull....until...i got some inspiration now watching this. Battle fans(i doubt there's any here) probly would already be able to guess...

initially i'm not supposed to share this here cuz it might be um, spoilerish(just a wee bit)...but whatever...if i'm sharing with nonreaders...then it's no spoiler rite? :D

ok ok...i'm just so excited...so here...

the theatrical leader of Battle...<3

poor him that he had to explain this wasn't intended for laughs. xDD...but he's so brave for choosing to do this for  his solo stage rite?...Ryu is pretty awesome at acting though...albeit a little awkward in nature. he just lurvess theatres n he had done some acting too be it stage n drama(he's even a child actor n model)...i think creepy roles suit him the most like the one he did in a short film...it was a very short appearance but he creeped me out just with his smile lol......maybe i'll share it sometime? ey?...

but...we can't just have Ryu rite? mmmmmno!

that perf was from their first fanmeeting, three months after their debut that they planned n organized on their own. it was a project given to them...during their mpick show, if i'm not mistaken, Battle's mpick was the second season after first season-SS501...i think...don't quote me (other groups i heard hav their own mpick-Girl's Day,Nine Muses, Boyfriend)...sadly...my Battle boys had so little episode...less than 20 i think....which i hadn't even finish watching. bad fan alert.

anyway,

^ if it ain't shirt ripping, it ain't Lio. nuff said. lol. but before you say anything bout his singing...let me clarify that Lio has been focusing strictly on rapping from the start...n he can't sing to save his life...ok that's harsh, maybe he can sing a lil, just a lil limited...*runs*..he's featured in Junjin's song shortly before Battle's debut. n he's also featured in gn.E(aka now AA's Aoora) song.

^ Taehwa solo. i still remember early days in battle shinhwa when he's all about sappy ballad guy(who's popular no matter what he does anyway)...but later on n when Battle begins...suddenly...he's the dancer guy...lol. anyway, he's all around guy...he sings, dances, plays piano...being popular. lol. of course, Minwoo would go for the star rite? he has his own solo singing career(which his solo debut was quite well received as far as international kpop sites critics goes)...n his own project group.

^ the video before the perf was probly the cutest thing you'll ever see. seriously. stupid hwichannie n is that their manager's kid? lol. why is this chickendork too cute? but Hwichan can definitely sing much better than he did here. if you watch him in Battle Shinhwa(their predebut audition show) you'll see. anyway, lucky girl...waaaa....><...

^ Chris the cutesy maknae/cook/foodie who often tried to bully his hyungs but ignored n ended up bullied anyway. haa. as always, he's the one to sing English song...xD...i thought it was removed from youtube already. thank goodness somebody uploaded it back. i still can't believe he's a grown up now...snifle...lol

^ Kihyun doesn't have solo stage probly cuz his vocals ain't the strongest...n his dances are often awkward because he's just too tall...but compared to his audition days...he had come such a long way. i'm glad Eric gave him a chance. he did a duet with Taehwa. aww, so cute, the tallest n shortest collab? (which reminds me when Taehwa said he's not short...n that Hwichan is shorter...it's just that his image is about being short...lmao. oh Battle n their love for ratting out each other) i'm surprised Kihyun is up for ballad perf though...but even in battle shinhwa final, he performed a ballad.

^ Hwichan n Chris (aka the maknaes) turned into harry potters? n did weird dork Chan dance...lol. (battle fans, remember this ain't the only time hwichan become harry potter right? xD)

^ if you're just gonna watch one vid, WATCH THIS ONE! it's all in one. n dorks overload. i just love how Hwichan practices with everyone...n Ryu n Chris as Hwichan's fangirls. lol. n Chris being meanie to his hyungs as usual...not like they're bothered by him anyway. lol

and their own songs of course.

well, Icarus has awesome lyrics but i'm not gonna share it here...it's lipsync...(idek why)(ok fine i share it anyway, lol...but there are other perfs where they sang live forreal n it doesn't even sound far from lipsync...in fact, better?) n idk why the fans insisting this is live when it's obviously not...it's not like there's anything to be ashamed of if Battle lipsync here since they often sing live n it's obvious their lives are amazing even with intense choreography...

^ idk if this is live ok it is...but it's awesome anyway....woot....lol. i don't know if there's any other perf of this song. Battle's first single sure focused on inspirational/uplifting lyrics. besides the title song that is...lol.

^ n of course....Crash! i still don't get why they lipsync for Icarus but sing live for Crash...like hello...this is far more difficult than sitting down singing ballad...lol. but oh well...i loooove live perfs.

there are more parts of them talking...but just sharing the perfs...as if you even watch these...lol.
