babyMINT - Hellokittybalahcurrihellokitty美味しい (Hellokittybalahcurrihellokitty美味しい - Single, 2023)

[gimmethepretense]

Watching babyMINT perform ’Hellokittybalahcurri³ hellokitty美味しい’ makes me feel young. It’s thrilling pop that never stops switching to its next earworm. On first watch, the absurd hook and change-ups are what make you hit replay. Then you notice all the other joyful things about the song. I love so many parts: the existential ‘I will die, you will die, baby’ memento mori, sung so sweetly; the bit where Lyu Hsi-yan twists her earnest 'seize the moment’ into 'and throw everything out the balcony window’ before ending with a cheeky 'never mind 😉’; the adorable choreography, which veers into the uncanny valley during the Lex Luger-esque breakdowns.

Most of all though, I love how watching it makes me feel silly and carefree. Because babyMINT brings us along on their fun ride. At the start, Lin Lin promises to teach us a secret��magic…word. After the first hook, Lyu opens her arms expectantly toward the audience, encouraging us to join. When everyone on stage is inviting you to take part in the absurdity, how can you not buy in?

It’s important that each member of babyMINT is so young. Their ages range between 14 and 20 and they bring a youthful energy to the song which I know is fleeting—it’s something ground down as the years pass. That’s why I find it so infectious. It has an wide-eyed optimism you can only bottle once: a zeal for life that makes a nonsense phrase like 'hellokittybalahcurri’ make perfect sense. 最高!

"Hellokittybalahcurri³hellokitty美味しい" by babyMINT (薄荷水晶)

DV:

There was no more gleefully unhinged song this year than "Hellokittybalahcurri³hellokitty美味しい", or if there was I haven't heard it. And I'd like to: the experience of hearing this for the first time after seeing recommendations from a bunch of mutuals was unforgettable, nearly as unforgettable as the reactions of everyone that I in turn recommended or played it for. babyMINT make a mockery of sense and reason in "Hellokittybalahcurry" and the result is glorious. At one point, looking for some background on the group and an explanation for what the song was about, I wound up reading an AI-generated "interpretation" that actually made less sense than the song itself. This might be expected from AI, but "Hellokittybalahcurry" is the rare song that wouldn't make more sense if there was actual thought behind it: this song has no logic, has no meaning. Large Language Models, like the one that generated the "explanation" I found, work on probability and history, and "Hellokittybalahcurry" resists that just as much as it resists logical interpretation. This is a song that forces us to experience it viscerally and in the moment, abandoning everything we learned in one line the moment the next lyric or section begins. Which in some ways is like machine learning: the context does not exist. But in other ways is not: "the result"Hellokittybalahcurry" is unpredictable and ostentatiously nonsensical. It's a hand made out of 43 eyes and released onto an unsuspecting public.

MG:

Acting as an antidote to large swathes of our best of, “Hellokittybalahcurri³hellokitty美味しい” starts off sounding like a curse but ends up more of a blessing. babyMINT’s auspicious greeting “today we’re here to teach you a secret…magic…word” teeters somewhere between Illuminati conspiracy and The Ring but the group are disinterested in formal commitments and the ensuing chaotic three and a half minutes err on the side of jubilance and partified nonsense. There’s a little bit of everything happening inside of “Hellokittybalahcurri³hellokitty美味しい,” from harsh gabber beats to the sound Megan Thee Stalliion makes when she sticks out her tongue and it’s not so much artistic juxtaposition as it is a sonic representation of cell division. You certainly can find yourself caught inside the möebius strip of babyMINT’s imagination, but only if you’re so inclined.

This song is pretty good, I hate the rap parts as I hate all idol rap parts. Concept here is fabulous, just could’ve been slightly better executed….the “I will never let you go” part at 1:05 until the rap bit is so good to me, and I think the intro is super cute as well ….. that bit reminds me slightly of girl front. You know ? I don’t know . What I’m saying is, well, I’m not even sure what I’m saying. I’m seeing my darling fish in LESS THAN AN HOUR so idgaf❤️
