After so many posts since I came back on blogger, this is probably the first time I mention LUNAFLY.
Since September 2012, I have been a fan of a new Korean band called LUNAFLY. Close friends who know me well will know why exactly I like the band.
Yes, guitars.
Acoustic guitars to be exact. :)
I have always have a soft spot for guitarists since I was young. It's probably because I have always liked how acoustic guitar sounds. It's like every song can be played on the guitar. I like how versatile and how different guitar sounds.
A fast track can have a totally different feel to it when played on the guitar. For example, Justin Bieber's Baby and Psy's Gangnam Style. Both sound so much better when the covers are done using acoustic guitars.
Back to LUNAFLY, I was introduced to them by a friend who knows I love bands. And I was immediately attracted by how different they sounded from the normal K-pop. They can sing, can compose, can play a wide range of musical instruments. And they are totally different from CNBLUE (another band I enjoy listening to).
And that was how the interest in them grew. Back then, LUNAFLY was almost unknown in Malaysia, and I wanted to have people to spazz about them with but it was always just Aisyah and I. So in the end, I decided to start a Fanbase for fun, and we called it MyLUNAFLY. And it officially started functioning in October 2012. Back then, we only had a Twitter account. Then we had Tumblr (it's an awesome tumblr page!! Thanks to Aisyah eonni who put in so much effort!) an FB pages. Our Fanbase grew bigger as we kept promoting the boys by providing tweet translations.
And one day, Aisyah decided to approach an event organiser about bringing LUNAFLY over... And it happened.
The thing we never believed would hve happened is actually happening. LUNAFLY is coming over to Malaysia an they actually know of our existence! Yunny has even tweeted about us twice!
This is something that I have always felt very proud of. Something that I have always felt that I can never give up. It was our brainchild and our love that started this.
I'm thankful that during these past few months when I was going through a rough time, my team have been running the site and twitter page so actively. They have done so much more. Liaising with event organisers, promoting the showcase and even doing fan projects. I feel blessed. Really really blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.
So here, I'd like to thank them. Sya eonni, Norlee eonni, Fatihah, Sera, Safi, Sam and our new member, Natalie. I hope MyLUNAFLY achieves so much more in the future!!
LUNAFLY FIGHTING!!
MYLUNAFLY FIGHTING TOO!!
