Upcoming concert + movies "Back to 20" and "Somewhere Only We Know"

Hey everyone!

With exams finally over, we can breathe again...at least for now. There'll also be more posts coming up, hopefully... I'm still deciding whether or not to attempt the February Post Challenge this year, what do you guys think? It was pretty tight last year, so I'd have to work even faster this year to beat last year's record.

The 2015 SERA00 Winter Concert "Land of Wintry Dreams" IS HAPPENING! Three more days to go! It's a blitz here trying to get ready. A lot of us have already been given leave from the last day of school to prepare. I mean, exam review day? Pssshhh who wants to see those marks? Unfortunately, I'm an IB kid, which means I have a @!@%*^!@%&$))*&*$ WIT ESSAY to hand in tomorrow.

Right now, we're just wrapping up the last part of filming for the concert. There'll be more on that later, I've dedicated a post to it ;)

Anyways, once I have some free time, I want to go watch these two movies. The first one is called "Back to 20", and "Somewhere Only We Know" is the other one. They're both Chinese movies, but you can find them in the theatres with English subtitles. Actually, a couple of the 00 ranks went and watched "Back to 20" already. Since they raved about it, I asked Yura to write a review on the movie for the blog (remember Yura, the new blogger?). She agreed, but I still haven't seen any words -_-

Back to 20

An old widow decides to chase her dreams of becoming a singer after being magically transformed back to her 20 year old self. Starring Yang Zishan, Luhan, Kuei Ya-lei, and Chen Bolin.

Somewhere Only We Know

Starring Kris (Wu Yifan), Xu Jinglei, Wang Likun, Zhang Chao, and Re Yizha, the movie will be released on Valentine's Day.

It's been snowing heavily, so stay safe, stay healthy, and please support SERA00! (is this my new endline? o.O)

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY!

Hey everyone!

Happy 2nd Anniversary of the SERA00 blog!! Although the first post wasn't until the 30th of January, the SERA00 blog was conceived two years ago on this date, and it's the date we consider its anniversary ^_^

Thank you to all my readers over the past two years - whether you're a fan of SERA00, a casual reader, or just stumbled across a post, I'm very thankful that you took the time to read what I wrote. Thanks to management for giving me this opportunity to blog, thanks to my fans who received this project well, and thanks to all my lovely girls for supporting me and letting me bug you all for content XD Thank you Fracken and Team Aurora for letting me crash their Stage tonight to say my thanks :)

This blog has developed a lot since my first post, and I've developed a lot thanks to this blog as well. In the future, I'll keep striving to improve the both the posts and the blog! Please continue to show your love and support for the SERA00 blog!

Stay safe, stay healthy, and please support SERA00!

CASUT00 second gen? And the 2015 Winter Concert!

It seems as if it's a bit early to talk about auditions. These usually happen in the spring, don't they? I'm not talking about SERA00 today, but CASUT00! CASUT00 currently has 8 Canadian members and 4 international members. If CASU was like SERA00, they'd be recruiting the second generation. Unfortunately for those who wanted to join CASU, it won't work like that. CASUT00 won't be publicly recruiting new members. The number of members is fixed (at least for now) and new members will be added only as current members graduate. The new members will be chosen from the existing pool of company trainees. 

So BASICALLY, if you want to join CASUT00, audition for YS Entertainment! I say that jokingly but if you become a YS trainee, you won't necessarily join CASUT00. You may end up debuting in an idol group similar to DRE4M or ECTI. Which is definitely not a bad thing! Many people vie for the chance to become a trainee at kpop companies like SM, JYP, and YG, and YS is no different. It's in fact much harder to pass the YS audition than the SERA00 audition.

From what I've heard, trainee life is pretty strict and vigorous, so I'm a bit surprised at how lax they let us SERA00 girls off XD We do have training plans, supposedly (I made a post about it a while back), but with the sheer number of girls, we honestly don't follow them very well. It's mostly schedules first, and if you don't have a schedule you're supposed to be training. However, if you take some time off, no one will mind that much. DISCLAIMER: if my juniors are reading this, it's not my fault if you do this and get in trouble!! Management still focuses very much on the idols-you-can-meet concept. They believe that our training is done onstage, where our fans can see us grow and improve. I've mentioned before that this is the main reason why training to become a SERA00 member is so short compared to kpop trainees.

Every couple of months or so, our training does fire up. This is mostly right before we release a new single, and we need to learn new songs and choreography, or we're preparing for a concert and need to brush up on lyrics and dancing. SPEAKING OF CONCERTS...the date of our 2015 SERA00 Winter Concert is set for February 1st! Since we purposefully set it after exams, we expect to see everyone there ;) just joking! We love the fans who are watching from home just as much <3

Of course, there will be some special things happening at the concert. Last year was SERA00's Snowflake Symphony, this year we invite you to SERA00's Land of Wintry Dreams!

Please support SERA00!

Happy belated new years...? Back to school :(

Hey everyone!

The clock in our classroom reads 12:30 :p Happy New Year! I know I'm late but it was really busy and I kind of forgot XD

For school-aged people like me, it's the dreaded back to school! The winter break is over and it's time to face homework and exams. For some older fans, it's time to go back to work, and some of you have been working hard through the break.

It's a new year, and a new start for everyone! Embrace the new changes in life, and always look forwards while reminiscing about the past. For those who feel completely screwed, reset everything and face it again with a renewed determination.

Let's enter the new year together, happy and healthy!
