zombie everglow is nice. really different sound from what i expected from that, but definitely something i can vibe with
#+thoughts#i think the energy + mood were good but i do wish they had added more intensity#a bigger build in the final chorus or bridge#some more desperation#it felt like it was building to some actual screaming and that would have been suuuch a cathartic release for the songs conclusion#also would have loved for the strings at the end to be incorporated into the song#or to have flowed into the next track.. a bside that built on that sound would have been amazing#but for what it is it’s a good song + ill def be listening a lot#i didn’t like the mv much but it was v aesthetically pretty + they all looked amazing#i wish they’d leaned into the concept more though#more of a storyline direction than just glamour shots + choreo#but i have that complaint with a lot of kpop mvs so it’s nbd#im just a huge fan of zombies tbh so ill always be disappointed to not see zombie concepts not fully utilized#would loooove to see a kpop group do a full on zombie concept album tbh 🤍#anyway.. ive listened to the song like six times now..#despite any criticism its v much my type + has amazing replay value ^^

For the "give me a TV series" meme: Scarlet heart (bu bu jing xin) 🤭🤭 because let's talk about an old series why not 🤷🏻♀️
Favorite Character: Ruoxi - funny, smart, spine of steel, capable of change, full of love and loyalty and ultimately ground down by the tragedy around her.
Funniest Character: That’s like asking for the jolliest person at a funeral.
Best Looking Character: Kevin Cheng as Eight. He’s one of the few people who could carry off the queue.
Three Favorite Ships:
Ruoxi x Four. One of my all time favorite drama ships, it broke me. He’s cautious and cold and cerebral but falls for her warmth and brain and fun and steadfastness like a ton of bricks. And she’s first in love with Eight but then goes harder for Four than it should be humanly possible. And they love each other so much but ultimately they break each other completely due to their world and their characters and their different goals. And then that totally brutal ending. I sat through the entirety of awful BBJX2 just to see them happy.
13 x Luwu. That was freaking tragic. I cried.
10 x Mongolian girl. At least someone ended happy.
Least Favorite Character: Honestly, they all were real enough but I guess Kang Xi, an epic fail as a father and a human being.
Least Favorite Ship: Nine x servant girl whose name escapes me. Nothing healthy about that or appealing or anything really.
Reason why I watch it: The gorgeousness, the tragedy, the romance, Liu Shi Shi x Nicky Wu being on fire (I don’t normally RPShip but the fact that they are now married with a baby is a cosmic compensation to me for how much I suffered over them in BBJX)
Why I started watching it: I almost didn’t. At that point I thought Qing hairstyles for men were ugh (I’ve seen so many Qing dramas now, I like them), I thought Nicky Wu was old and ugly; were they crazy to have him as the leading man? (DID I EAT MY WORDS WITH A GIANT SPOON OR WHAT - BBJX gave me a Nicky Wu obsession that lasted years), and just generally why would I want to mope. I checked it out because why not and some stills looked pretty. Ahahahahahahaha and then it carved out my heart and served it to me.
Anyway, more people should watch it so have a MV to tempt people who read this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9B3Rddrqt0
They remade it into Moon Lovers in Korea and ummmm - I adored Lee Jun Ki as a feral prince and it was basically a Yu Watase manga on crack, but it was neither a good drama nor had anything much in common with the melancholy, thoughtful, quietly devastating aesthetic and emotion of the original.

November Playlist
In no particular order, here are the 20 songs on my November playlist (with a few thoughts thrown in). Any song recommendations for me? Let me know!
WAVE - Limesoda
I found this song through mera’s video and fell in love right away. It has this sort of melancholic quality I really enjoy in gg music in particular, and the “no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-more” has been stuck in my head for weeks.
Bad Idea - Moonbin & Sanha
Now this is a proper sub-unit! The song is so good (let’s go funky guitar!), the styling was immaculate, and these two paired together really nicely. I wasn’t waiting for the rest of ASTRO to pop out any moment, and I never felt like Sanha or Moobin overpowered the other. 10/10 comeback (or is it a debut?).
Why Not? - LOONA
Why Not? is what I wanted So What to be. Especially the last section post-bridge, the instrumental develops a really nice momentum and a layered-quality that makes the emptier beginning of the song feel worth it. I have no clue what is going on in the LOONAverse but I like this musical direction for them. Plus Yves is hot.
We Lost the Summer - Tomorrow x Together
I found this pandemic song to be charming and genuine rather than empty. I’m not a high school student, but I do work with teenagers (and just graduated uni spring of 2020), so I could relate to this a lot. Plus I appreciate the dichotomy of the funky, summery instrumental and the lyrics.
I CAN’T STOP ME - Twice
I pretty much like every Twice title track, and this was no exception. I wish they had committed a little more to the retro aesthetic, and the denim outfits were personally offensive to me, but this song has nice energy and flows well from one section to another.
positions - Ariana Grande
I don’t particularly care for the lyrics or message of this song, but the melody is perfection and Ari’s voice is beautiful.
Kill V. Maim - Grimes
This song got me through the more stressful moments of the US presidential election. I found it from a WWX edit on twitter (if u know, u know...) and that makes the listening experience 10x better, ngl.
Grow - HOAX
I think I found this on Tik Tok? But the lyrics (”don’t you want to go outside?”) have felt relevant in my darker quarantine moments.
ALIEN - Lee Suhyun
Her voice is so, so lovely, and this song has that melancholy quality I won’t shut up about. I also really appreciate that this doesn’t sound like an AKMU reject and let’s her establish an identity as a soloist. I loved the styling and the MV, too!
BETTER - Twice
Twice’s earlier Japanese releases were major no’s for me, but everything from Breakthrough until now has been exactly to my taste. BETTER sometimes feels a little disjointed or rushed, but it has all the qualities of a Twice song I will enjoy, so...
Maze in the Mirror - Tomorrow by Together
This remains my favorite TXT song, so it’s pretty much always on my monthly playlists. I find this song to be soothing and easy to listen to but not without momentum (I am generally not a fan of slower or acoustic ballad-y songs). The more stripped-down production highlights the vocal blend of the members well, and I think the song builds to a satisfying conclusion.
Black Mamba - aespa
I was pleasantly surprised by this song! I think the girls’ vocals are nice and the chorus is satisfying, especially when paired with the visuals of the choreography or music video. I’m not super compelled by the whole avatar concept, but I’m excited to see where SM takes this group nonetheless.
So Bad - STAYC
I love this song. It took a few listens for me to get into it, but now I cannot stop singing the chorus. There’s nothing particularly revolutionary about this song or the concept, but it’s a pretty classic gg formula executed well.
Blue Hour - Tomorrow x Together
Okay I promise I didn’t realize how much TXT was on here until I started typing it out. More on this here.
How You Like That (Cover) - A.C.E
If you haven’t heard this cover, literally stop reading this and go listen to it right now. If there’s one thing A.C.E is gonna do, it’s sing. Donghun is one of my favorite vocalists in kpop (important video for reference), and the harmonies they hit in this cover...oof. HYLT is one of my least favorite Blackpink releases for a whole host of reasons (and this cover didn’t really do a lot to change my perspective on the original) but it is such a rare display of killer vocal technique and actual singing uncomplicated by choreography or complicated stage manoeuvres. This cover actually made me bust out the old YouTube to mp3 converter, that’s how good it was.
MAGO - Gfriend
They are hot, disco is fun, bury me in any of their stage outfits this comeback. Also Yuju on the pole???? hello???????
Blue Orangeade - Tomorrow by Together
This is just embarrassing at this point. This song is pure serotonin tho and let’s be honest...we need it.
Sorry Mama - DKB
This is an early 2020 release I only recently stumbled upon. The MV is perfectly passable, and the chorus lyrics do feel a little silly, but the juxtaposition of whoever is singing the backing vocals and the tense, almost growled delivery by DKB’s members is great. This instrumental isn’t overly full, either.
Dis-ease - BTS
My favorite track from BTS’ most recent release, this song is a little like Why Not? in that the second half makes the first half worth it. I love BTS with all my heart but haven’t been compelled by a lot of their recent stuff; this song was a pleasant surprise upon first listen and has only grown on me since then.

Ult group tag ✨
Tagged by @gustingirl thank u! I love your content 👉👈
My ult group is BTS of course, but I also want to include Red Velvet. I don’t have a proper excuse I just want to include them.
Band: BTS & Red Velvet
1. who was your first bias?
BTS: Jimin, no doubt, I was impressed by everything of him and was also the first face that I recognized everywhere.
Rv: Seulgi, seriously she’s such an underapreciated dancer between all the female dancers in kpop.
2. who is your bias now?
BTS: Jin he simply stole my heart, his voice is my favorite between my already favorite 7 voices in the music industry. I better not start writing all my reasons to admire and love him because then this post will never end.
Rv: Still Seulgi
3. what was the first mv you watched by them?
BTS: I need U
Rv: Bad Boy
4. what’s your favourite mv?
BTS: WOAH THIS IS HARD. Aesthetically speaking then Blood Sweat & Tears, Black Swan, ON kmf and BS&T japanese version, but right now my ultimate favorite is Life Goes On mv because is so simply but at the same time stunning and original, and it was directed by our golden baby.
Rv: Peak A Boo. I love how the song is so cute but the video is about a bunch of sociopaths killing poor delivery guys in some strange cult because they’re bored.
5. if you could only listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?
BTS: Run 💜
Rv: Bad Boy
6. who would you want to see them collab with?
I’d love to see both groups. At least some special stage with unities I already planned (wtf?): Seulgi & Jimin (done 💖), RM, Suga & Jungkook with Wendy, Jhope & V with Yeri & Joy, and the top visuals of kpop history Jin & Irene. Joy is army’s unofficial president, so I hope she does not faint.
Outside that, I’d love to see Suga collaborating with some of the western rappers he admires, such as Eminem, yup.
7. what (mv) concept do you want to see them do?
BTS: I’d like them to follow the BTS universe story a little more.
Rv: I have no idea, they’re the only girl group that have done EVERYTHING: Cute, scary, girl crush, summer, sophisticated, artsy. 90′s hip hop...
8. have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?
BTS: I dreamed Jin was at one of my friends’ house for someone’s birthday or something, and we were eating the most disgusting pizza ever (cold and with supermarket sauce) but he was the only one not complaining and I remember thinking he was so nice he didn’t want to make the host feel bad. My brain is so lame.
Rv: I didn’t.
9. if you could spend a day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?
BTS: RM, i think is with whom I could talk the most since we share pretty similar intetests in many fields. Not much of some the modern “art” (HAMPARTE) he likes, but we could totally discuss it for hours it. Also I’d love to show him all the plants I have and some rap music from my country.
Rv: Seulgi (lol i’m so whipped). I don’t know, i would just ask her to marry me or something, she will just laugh say NO. Then I’ll buy her pringles and watch that Thai movie she likes.
10. which member do you think you would get along with best?
BTS: RM, Jin and Jungkook.
Rv: Joy and Yeri.
11. which member do you think you would argue with?
BTS: RM. Because he likes to talk about politics and religion and SAME, and these are the worst yet the best topics ever for a chat.
Rv: Irene 😂💕, and I’m taller than her so i hope i don’t get too scared it would look ridiculous.
12. if you had to let one member scroll through your tumblr, who would it be?
BTS: Jungkook because he would just laugh of some shitposts and not judge me lol
RV: none. They’ll block me. But first at least 3 of them will fangirl a little and reblog some BTS content.
tags: @heyyouknowbts, @e-uph0r1a , @riika98 , @sensationalhubshrimp , @min-saya-93 , @primabelladona and and everyone who wants to💕💕

See you again next year, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!
Interviews: ● Gekirock interview:
Interviewer(Yoshiba Saori): In our previous interview you had mentioned a birthday song you were in the process of writing, so that turned out to be ‘VIVA! Happy Birthday' I see.
Sekihan: That’s right. After tinkering and revising with twists and turns along the way, we finally arrived at the 'VIVA! Happy Birthday' you see today.
It’s a proper birthday song yet... I couldn’t help but notice the sheer amount of references to The Drifters, “It’s 8 o’clock-o! Gather ‘round!” among many (Laughing).
Sekihan: Good eye.
Poniki: Please stop praising him before it goes to his head.
Sekihan: That wasn’t exactly praise though.
mao: Did you catch most of the references we stuffed in?
Interviewer: They’re of my generation so yes.
Sekihan: The title even was once “Happy Birthday-o! Gather ‘Round” but it was just a The Drifters song at that point so... I changed the title to be “VIVA! Happy Birthday”, while still leaving everything else pretty much the same. Did you notice the Mustache-Dance-esque part in the middle too? As soon as we settled on using The Drifters for our motifs, this idea popped into our heads. *The Mustache-Dance. They say “後半まいりましょ 後半しゅっぱつ” just like Viva! Happy Birthday.
Interviewer: As the composer, 324, what did you have in mind for this song?
324: At first I steered to make it absolutely bursting with joyous energy. As we said, the song took on a lot of gear changes along the way, so naturally my initial product was a little different from the current one. Mine was more-
mao: Edgy and emo. It was emotional music.
Interviewer: At the chorus the rhythm had been slowed down by half; a mellooow song one could easily crowd surf to. If I recall correctly, didn’t we suggest the theme to be about the birth of life? About ‘Traversing the birth canal’ and what not.
Interviewer: At the studio we had considered that a possibility, but eventually we came to our senses and said ‘Wait, no this isn’t right!’
324: That theme was a bit too heavy so we chose to lighten it.
Sekihan: Simplified and rectified, birthdays are happy go lucky celebratory events so all we’ve gotta do is have a good time. With that said, we didn’t want to make a run-of-the-mill party song either, we were in a pickle. Then came the idea: everyone gathering around = The Drifters. I watched videos of The Drifters the whole time I was writing.
mao: After eliminating the unnecessary Drifters bits, we have what you see today.
324: It was too far down Drifters lane at first. I had to intervene.
Interviewer: You get lost in the swing of it huh (laughing).
Sekihan: I love-love the qualities of the Shouwa era. On our main site we recently uploaded the MV for “HAPPY GO LUCK HEADS”, in which ‘The Veteran’ appears at the beginning, I tried to dress myself up as Kuroyanagi Tetsuko for that. My interest in Shouwa just comes seeping in to my works. One which I hope spices things up for others as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo7nkDUnr2s
Interviewer: The almost fairy-tale ending of ‘VIVA! Happy Birthday’ even leaves a Drifters taste in my mouth. I see Nakanishi Kousuke assisted with the writing of this song, then also ‘Ebifuri-ya’ and ‘WA ni natte tomo ni’. Could you tell me more about him?
Ponikingdom: He’s practically our hidden 6th member, or so the people say. He once even produced a song for my own album. Herein 324 writes aaall the music, so we wanted the essence of someone different here and there. We make a good team to boot. He understands our aesthetic to a T.
Mito-juu: He makes them exactly as ordered.
Sekihan: It’s not about musical ability, but aesthetical ability (laughin).
324 So there you have it. He made the music, then I arranged it to make it perfectly Happy Go Lucky Heads.
● 324 blog: 324 exhibited how to play the lead guitar part of the intro! He said “Watching this, I notice that this weirdo actually uses the middle finger of his left hand a lot.... That’s uncommon alright. @ Pon-chan - If I ever die, please use this as reference and take over my role as lead.”
● Poniki’s explanation: It’s a good ol’ birthday song with a catch; it’s in Omedeta style and bound to remind you of a certain classic show about the rich! Every day of the year is somebody’s birthday. We filled this song with wishes for that somebody’s special day! It’s even already becoming a hit among birthday peeps in the crowds at concerts!
● MV release article: This song is set to celebrate Omedetai’s 1 year band anniversary.

extra elongated tag game!
tagged by: @waithyuck hi, thank you for tagging me. i hope you’re safe :))
tagging: @94core, @legendnct, @juliennestudies (hi, it’s althea. you might want to do this?), @jaesmintea (can we be friends dkjsf idk how to make friends here) and whoever wants to play this game. it’s pretty lengthy tho.
O N E
tell me the first song that made you stan your current fave group and why did your faves attract you so much?
for seventeen, it was clap. the synchronization, even when they made a mistake, was really impressive to me. i started binge-watching their dance videos and i just remember being at awe at how a lot of people (considering they’re 13) could be in sync like that.
for nct, it was kick it. i used to say i didn’t like the song, but it won’t get out of my head. i’m not sure what keeps me attracted to them as a group. i just am. also, haechan is the love of my life. i’ve never loved an idol the way i loved him.
for ateez, it was wonderland. good lord, i just love that song. the mv, the vibe it gives off, the aesthetics during that era. makes me want to start a revolution.
T W O
rule: answer the ten questions given by the previous person and write 10 of your own for the next person!
1. what is your favorite memory from your childhood?
i didn’t have a dull childhood or something. i just don’t have specific memory that i could consider my favorite. but if there was anything i was fond of, as a kid, it was being innocent and not worrying too much about anything. i miss that and i wish i could go back.
2. if you could travel anywhere in the world with just a snap of your fingers, where would you go and why?
the museum where van gogh’s starry night is stored. i want to visit it in the middle of the night when there’s no one else there. i just want to stare at it and appreciate it.
3. describe your personality in three (3) words.
unbowed. unbent. unbroken. haha, kidding. impulsive, unpredictable, and...confusing i guess?
4. what is your favorite thing that you have ever read? (anything you’ve ever read counts! fanfiction, poems, novels etc.) why?
i don’t really have a favorite :(
5. are you the studying type of person or the type to just ‘wing it’ when you have a big test coming up?
i’m not really the type who studies regularly but i don’t walk into the exam room without reading at all. i read and study a few days before the exam, try to get as much information as possible.
6. between bold colors and pastel colors, which do you prefer?
i’d rather go with pastels in the day and bold neons at night.
7. do you live life in the moment or do you plan every action you take?
a bit of both depending on the situation. i’m the type who plans ahead on things that i really want to happen but i have my fair share of spontaneous, impulsive decisions that lead up to really fun experiences. but when it comes to life in general? i’m just taking in every day as it comes.
8. what is your favorite holiday and why? (all holidays count! across all religions and cultures 😄)
christmas. the weather is cool and everyone’s a bit kind during that time of the year. and it leads up to new year.
9. would you rather stay up to stargaze in the middle of the night or wake up early to watch the sunrise?
i can’t see stars even with glasses on because my eyes suck. so i guess, i’d rather watch the sunrise because that obnoxious ball of bright yellow light is so hard to miss. plus i like how the surroundings change colors as the night changes into day.
10. what is your favorite eye color on another person?
blue on a brunette? i know it’s rare but it’s such a beautiful mix.
my ten questions for you:
what’s your favorite season and why?
are you a cat person or a dog person?
what’s your current favorite song and why can’t you stop listening to it?
if you had the ability to do either of the following, would you rather change something in the past or see into the future?
what’s your favorite movie?
what did miss rona ruin for you this 2020?
what’s your favorite album? (you can name one for each genre you like or you can just name one, it’s up to you.)
if you could talk to your past self (person who lived your past life), what would you tell them?
do you have a go-to person? who is it?
if you could tell your younger self something, what would you say?

Everything really 💖 Jinki is so natural and warm and soft... Leo is a sweetheart, so kind and humble and open with his thoughts, and his smile is so beautiful my heart hurts 💘 for Mark, it’s how cute and hard-working he is, and how easy he finds things interesting and funny~ and Leeteuk is just a big, pretty ball of weird who manages to make me laugh at any time~ 💕

Soft and bright ones, like white, light blue and light purple~

...not really a fan. Hide it in other food and I’ll eat it, otherwise I won’t eat it.
~Next set of questions!~
1) Your favorite quote that grounds you to being yourself?
Oh, that’s a good question... maybe “You doubt your value. Don’t run from who you are.” It’s a quote from the Narnia books that I really like, and since I struggle a lot with self-loathing it is very important to me since it makes me remember that I am valuable~ 💫
2) Ultimate ship you’re fond of and love?
This is pretty much impossible to answer because I have wayyyyy to many ships and I can’t choose just one of them adjfbnaidfad
3) Favorite soulmate AU type? (I.e. name on wrist, heterocrhomia eyes of your other half’s, seeing color for the first time)
I like all of them but I haven’t heard of the heterochromia one, that sounds really beautiful!
4) Favorite show of yours that you love that’s not in your first language?
Merlin. I like a lot of shows but Merlin is the one I keep coming back to. ✨
5) Your white noise show? (Go to show you can rewatch countless times and tune in and out of)
SCRUBS. Definitely. It’s such a great show, perfectly balanced between humour and seriousness and almost every episode works well on it’s own so no matter when you decide to watch you’ll have a nice time~
6) Fictional character you wish was real to validate your unnecessary crush?
Oh, I don’t really fall in love with fictional characters? I just ship them with people from their own universe haha (^^;)
7) A weird phobia you have that you can’t explain?
I have phobias, but I don’t know if they’re un-explainable... like my fear of insects can be explained by me getting stung by a bee when I was little...
8) Sweets or Sours?
I like both, but I’’ll say sweets! 🍬
9) Are you an artist, writer, musician, or part of the adoring audience who supports them?
...I’m a bit of them all? I play the violin so I am a musician, and I like to write and I always support other artists 💗
10) Favorite band?
I love a lot of Kpop groups, and apart from that... musically or personality-wise? Because musically I’d say any group made by Alexander Bard, but personality-wise... Westlife? Maybe??
Congratulations for reading all of those messy answers! (>W<) You’re amazing~ Have a nice day! 💖

map of the soul 7 album review
told yall id be back to yell about this
i’ll only be voicing my thoughts about the new tracks. bolded tracks are songs i found to be standouts!
interlude shadow:
suga showing why he owns the kpop industry again. its not an everyday listen for me, but that doesn’t take away from its quality. its probably making it into my emo boi hours rotation. i liked the little reference to home. the tone shift at the end got me SHOOKETH tho like DAMN FUCK ME UP
black swan:
fuck yall i really want an instrumental version of this song because honestly it sounds so beautiful? or maybe an instrumental version of the mv version bc jesus i love this backing. otherwise, its not really for me. i can see myself getting tired of this song really easily, and sometimes it feels like it drags on for too long.
filter:
ok i know this latin inspired sound is really in right now and its everywhere but DAMN it sounds so good here. jimin sounds so freaking good with this type of seductive sound and it just fits him so freaking well??? also i really like the message of this song? i think this type of genre really adds to the desperation for attention its trying to convey. top tier song easily one of my favorites of this album
my time:
im gonna be honest, this really isn’t my kind of song. like its almost there for me?? like its so freaking close, but this chorus just isn’t my thing at all. the verses i can get behind (kinda reminds me of dean a little which im here for), but this chorus is just so not there for me. the use of finna is also kinda cringey for me and its making not take this song seriously at all.
louder than bombs:
this is a movie/tv show soundtrack and you can’t change my mind. this is BIG ruelle vibes and i am HERE for it. you can really hear the troye sivan influence too in the chorus. like i swear i can here troye singing this chorus so easily. with that being said, i really wish there was something more? i dont think the chorus hits enough, but otherwise i like it!
on:
ok but we been knew this song is so hype. lowkey dont know why sia was featured on this track she doesn’t really contribute much?? she sings like 2 lines and i’m just really confused why she didn’t feature more (feel free to correct me here i was skipping around so i mightve just missed it). more thoughts on the song/mv here.
ugh:
ok i really want to like this, but damn as an ace this chorus makes me so goddamn uncomfortable like damn stop grunting in my ears this is GROSS. besides that, i’m down for the verse/pre chorus. the gunshots i was not expecting??? like thats also why i dont wanna listen to this on the speaker bc thats FRIGHTENING but at the same time my ears feel violated if i listen via earbuds/headset. basically i 20% like it, 80% wish it would get FAR AWAY FROM ME
00:00 zero o’clock:
it’s pretty~ probably making it in my emo boi hours rotation. but otherwise it wasn’t anything immediately ear catching. i hate its placement in this album tho? like right after ugh?? like i cant concentrate on this song bc im still distracted by everything that happened in ugh, and thats such a shame bc i would really like to but its not happening :///
inner child:
ITS EMO HOURS THEY ARE OFFICIALLY OPENNNNNNNN yall i listened to this in the middle of class and that was a MISTAKE because i just started SHEDDING PHAT TEARS HOLY SHIT. i wasnt even reading the lyrics i just fucking felt everything and wow im getting emo just typing this again. these lyrics are so fucking meaningful too and im starting to cry just thinking about it OOF. v’s solos are honestly some of my favorite tracks ever that bts has put out, and this song is no exception. he sings with such emotion and puts so much thought and care into his music and its honestly so admirable and meaningful. like damn my bias is really here doing this. also pretty much everything about this song is my song aesthetic???????? like this is an 12/10 song. definitely just sprung to the top of my favorite bts songs
friends:
DID SOMEONE SAY VMIN????? FUCK YALL this friendship is the CUTEST PUREST THING EVERRRR i genuinely love and admire this friendship so much like shit dude this is just pure emo hours. FUCKING CALLING EACH OTHER SOULMATES AND EVERYTHING GOD DAMMIT IM EMO. otherwise, musically it doesn’t grab my attention too much. it’s a nice listen, but nothing extremely noteworthy. but am i still gonna cry at the lyrics???? every single fucking time you bet your ass i am
moon:
YES JIN POP OFFFFFFFFFFF this songs cute as fuck yall. i can tell the more i listen to it the more i’ll love it. idk i dont have much to say im just vibin with it and honestly? i love that
respect:
another cute song that represents their friendship and i am HERE for it. love the little nod the epilouge young forever too. in terms of music genre, not really my sound i go for. i can still see myself listening to it tho, probably just not often
we are bulletproof: the eternal
you know i was expecting another go-hard song like the previous two we are bulletproofs so i was kinda sad when it didn’t happen, but this songs still really pretty. i think this song gets more meaningful when you listen with the lyrics, because thats really when the feels hit hard. otherwise, by itself it didn��t intrigue me as much as i wanted. but its still gonna wind up in my emo hours rotation bc im still emo listening to it so it all gucci
outro: ego
THIS BROUGHT ME BACK TO 2013 YALL BRUH WHEN IT FIRST STARTED TEARS STARTED COMINGGGGG ok but this songs so freaking cute and happy and you know what? i needed that. bc this album is emo as FUCK and i want a happy song and thank you jung hoseok for delivering that to me. also the mv is adorable and i uwued very much
remember that this is all just my opinion and you are allowed to disagree! i’d love to talk more about anything with you guys so don’t be afraid to reply/message/drop an ask!
#personal#bts#map of the soul 7#album review#MORE RAMBLES BY MEEE#i put a keep reading this time so it doesn't take up your entire dash#bc no one wants to see me ramble for that long lol <3#love yall

Oneus Twilight full comeback review
When I say full comeback review it’s because it’s a FULL comeback review. From the concept films to the Japanese verison, were gonna cover a lot so get a cup of something to drink cause this will be hella long aka Bible (I’m a nice person I’m telling you this beforehand).(You should do a Youtube video review then… nya… BORING)
So let’s begin. This is not the first time I follow a group comeback in real time… You know… Checking everyday the performances, so I kinda know how it works. We have gone through a lot of stuff… KARD You in Me, GFriend Fingertip, Red Velvet Peak a Boo, Dreamcacther as whole, BTS Fake Love, F(x) Dracula, BTS Wings album as a whole and last but far from least BTS Blood Sweat and Tears. I wouldn’t call some of them dark concept, I also wouldn’t call some of the sexy concept. By these examples you can see I have my standards pretty high. I’m that annoying perfectionist old uncle and declare myself guilty. For years Blood Sweat and Tears was the top song for me. (I’m a sane person ok… That doesn’t mean I listen to it 24/7). The MV had very beautiful aesthetics and I liked the lyrics and the song. Clothes were cool and the coreography too. F(x) Dracula would come in second and I never thought something could also join these two. Until… It happened. I knew RBW was releasing a new group but I just waited. Turns out I found out the group some months later then the actual debut. Oneus debuted with Valkyrie. The way they changed the coreography every stage, the amazing fashion sense, song was good quality. They had vocal thecnique, they had dancing it caught my attention and Valkyrie was straight to my playlist. Then… it happened. The group’s first comeback. I don’t know how, when or even who am I but I found out about the comeback EXACTLY AT THE RIGHT TIME (Technically not because I was 16 hours late). I know you know we know, we are not going retro like 80’s or 90’s. We are not going retro like acient Corea like BTS Idol. We are going retro 1500/1700 not Japan, not China, not Corea, EUROPE. Welcome to the renaissance. The MV was shot in Italy, the amazing fashion sense strikes again (I swear to God stylist min is communicating with me), the song, the lyrics, the coreography, the cool colored camera filters, I need to mention the vocal technique again, the rest of the album being consistently good (BingBing), I dare say nothing is perfect… But man… This gets 99,99% of what I call perfection. It’s a shame they didn’t win any music show… Because they are a newer group and still don’t have a large fandom? WHO CARES. Let me tell you something BTS sucess should have been in 2017 Wings… The high point of their artistity… Ateez was also a newer group AND THEY DID WIN. I give congratulations to them but Oneus needed to win and it had to be with Twilight nothing changes my mind. (Don’t come to me saying we can give them their win next comeback, it won’t do it) This type of thing only happens once in a lifetime, why? Repeat and it gets boring, they can do the same concept again but it won’t be the same, same for BTS wings. It’s not about quantity is quality. Veiws never mattered to me and now I can say with all my mighty that wins do not make art. (I was never a fan of streaming but you count my ass off this mess cause YES I did some small streaming of the MV, I did my homework) (Take in account they did this comeback with BLOOD IN THEIR EYES) (Please give Dreamcather and KARD their first win too. Did you know that with You and I Dreamcatcher also had comeback with blood in their eyes??). Let’s start with the song name… Twilight. Remember 2009 movie sensation Twilight? Yup that’s it… I know you know we know, we are going deep in the vampire/ werewolf style in here and why I said I know you know we know? Xion posted about it on Twitter…
THEY ARE AWARE therefore I know you know we know. JUST IMAGINE THEIR LIGHTSTICK AND FANDOM COLOR AND END OF YEAR PERFORMANCES. CHECK OUT ONEWE TOO.(I took the liberty of making a playlist with extra post promotion content (with English sub) - cause I know you all love content - linked below, you don’t need to thank me, not I’m not putting english girl, focus on Twilight)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTiTzw8HrCfxRiB1DyD77ktE9UQm6sBeQ
Just in case you haven’t watched this beautiful MV here it is.
youtube
Song, yes. Lyrics, yes, coreo yes, key point of coreo YES, Keonhee vocals YES (I trust this legend vocal thecnique more then I trust myself). Aesthetics? YES. Italy? I need to sneakly and illegally go there RIGHT NOW. This is a whole YES. ( Sir... If you think I haven't noticed the moon changed from previous album you are wrong cause I noticed. Sir are your albums going to complete the moon please say yes... Also... Have you noticed Woongie used the wet hair effect? + his brown eyeshadow is stunning.
Also line and center distribution is on the playlist for in deepth study... Twilight is basically Seoho eating up all the line AND center distribution and detail... the only thing he does is SING THE CHORUS. Also thanks Keone Madrid for making this coreo for Oneus (he also did BTS Blood Sweat and Tears - DO YOU SEE THE PATTERN). Also rumors that Oneus actually created about 40-50% of the coreo so also thank you Oneus hehe.
Bitch it's me we are taking about do you really think I would miss a possible plotline?? Xion is with a red diamond and later he breaks it into dust (I'm scared). Keonhee is with a ring. Ravn is looking at his own reflection in the water and Seoho is looking at his own reflection through a broken mirror. Woongie is with a necklace. I guess the high point in Leedo's individual shots is the wolf (question mark)... Woongie and Keonhee are the only members that change the eye color. Seoho and Woongie are the only members that simulate super powers (question mark). Summary they all lost someone.... Silence is also a way of communication... I'm not a huge fan of theories or the fanfics I know ya'll write later in wattpad but fell yourself served, you're welcome, no need to thank me.
Now some highlights.
Ok this goes straight up to the hall of iconic earnings… (Man... But his walk was so POWERFUL)
How ASIA did not notice two SKULLS in here and how they are not SHOCK??? The ring is small… BUT POWERFUL.
Question time, if they had money to do the CGI then why didn’t they erase this little hairs in Leedo’s eyebrow?????? We’ll never know...
MV behind (english sub cause I love you all ~~ plays english girl in reverse in the background ~~)
youtube
Humanity mystery here. They recorded a version of the coreography when the sun was actually falling down in real life and we see those scenes in the MV. But if the whole staff was SHOCK about the key part of the coreography being extremely perfect and beautiful then why not use it on the MV? Sure the version they used outdoors was pretty too but this was ALSO awesome and I think I need as many version of the MV as I can.
Album review
Of course I would listen to the whole album.
Intro - What can I say... it fells so chill out, kinda minimalistic I just loved it. Twilight - Just amazing... I liked the dumbstep, the music is confusing witch I find extreamly cool. English Girl - Let em tell you not my type of song... but the lyrics are extreamly funny and relatable... so I forgive (I’m waiting crazy ho now Oneus, do not disappoint me) BingBing- YOU DON'T FREAKING START A SONG IN FRENCH IF NOT AIMING FOR TITTLE TRACK LEVEL. Ok and can we talk about the coreography???? BEAUTIFUL and I want to know the mastermind behind it. I just don't know why this was not above English Girl on the tracklist... White Night - Ok a more slow song but as always Oneus always delivers. (low key Red Thread sequel??) Now - This gives me Calvin Harris vibes. More dance eletronic standard pop but it's good...
PACKING-
Look... the CD case is very unique but think about it... if you take your album from above there is a risk everything wil fall... (1theK unboxing on the playlist, cause they were the cover for 1theK youtube chanel so 1thek is Oneus bitch)
1theK Suit dance and Dance cover contest
youtube
youtube
Please give Seoho something that WILL NOT FALL FROM HIS SHOULDERS cause clothes are made to be comfortable. What is the point to take off the jackets when the night is COLDER??? (Wait.. let me answer that one… cause you can’t see black in black… I get it… BUT REGARDLESS) one of the mysteries we’ll never know. (Poor ties must have suffered a lot in the middle of the harnesses)
Now before we jump into the important stuff let me tell you a secret… Keonhee is the most difficult member to dress… why? He’s 1,81 cm tall… anything you give him to wear can make him look even taller and his face is more projected (did you know he uses braces?) so you really need to pay attention to his hair. We’ll use this information latter.
So the first performance ever was… Guess what… Before the MV was released and where? JAPAN (My half japanese ass is shaking). So people there kinda received a spoiler (clothes too) and Mnet uploaded it in the same day of the MV release so other people that weren’t at the kcon wouldn’t receive a spoiler. No complains here except Ravn chocker being TOO BIG and Keonhee clothes making him look taller. (Nice expensive microphones you got in here)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaxWHKRm9xo
Now the actual comeback in Corea begins. (Images cause tumblr won’t let me upload the videos) (I’ll upload the links below the image) (No… before you ask I’m not uploading english girl, too much work… focus on twilight) ( As I spoiled above English girl was the chosen B side. Look... I know it's us international fans unofficial anthem but c'mon... BING BING) (I know I'll miss camerawork in here but I'll eventually get the hang of it) (Don't ask me about make up cause unfortunately I don't have 4k 360° to get THAT close up. But from other close up photos I trust their make up artist)
WEEK 1
31/05/19
https://youtu.be/qe2p_nKZ7uo
First choice was the ACDC Black in Black 1.0 clothing set from the MV, Keonhee clothes making him look taller as usual… Pretty clothes but… YELLOW LIGHTS??? with red?? is this ketchup and mustard? The lighting did not appeal to me and shout out to the physics mystery.
2:03 (Time stamp cause I love you all) HOW ON EARTH DID HIS EARPIECE END UP THERE? I guess we’ll never know.
01/06/19
https://youtu.be/adhuo5pMVbw
Keonhee clothes making him look taller as usual… but oh his hair was NICE… Fight me I’m the last person in the world to advocate in favor of coconut hair but it looks nice on him. No yellow lights so it’s a win situation, I like to call this the GLOVES set of the MV.
02/06/19
https://youtu.be/j7DhdicaV9I
Kudos for the physical scenario and Woongie earings (same as the MV). Keonhee clothes making him look taller as usual… no yellow lights… and this comeplete all the clothes they wore in the MV. Please… save Leedo from his chocker… too large.
04/06/19
https://youtu.be/Rl1f0vSxP14
THE SUITS a whole YES. Keonhee clothes were good but we got yellow in here and this is a NO, Woongie coconut hair was also a no but Seoho red highlights? YES. Also… Woongie… the harnesses should go UNDER the jacket not ABOVE it…
05/06/19
https://youtu.be/xmLNWuAyc9Q
Repeating clothes… but this doesn’t bother me. Ketchup and mustard lights is a no. Woongie earing yes and in case you haven’t noticed Seoho gold huge ass rings… blame the yellow lights. Keonhee hair was actually nice.
06/06/19
https://youtu.be/LcRe_SUL7Ok
Physical scenario yes, yellow lights no, clothing NO, Seoho huge ass rings YES. That’s the summary.
07/06/19 v1
https://youtu.be/hlrKa9b_P60
Uniforms? Approved, Leedo earing approved, Physical scenario approved. Orange? NO. Keonhee harmonizing with himself 1.0? YES
07/06/19 v2
https://youtu.be/3bI3GY4nALE
So… they blessed Japan with that set of clothes now it’s Corea time. Ketchup and mustard lights is a no. No earings or rings today… but Keonhee harmonizing with himself 2.0? YES
08/06/19
https://youtu.be/0K1bhbuvYYU
You know what this SMELLS like? PERFECTION. Purple, black and red the holly trinity of colors. Keonhee clothes finally making justice to him, his hair was also nice. A LOT of light in the scenario to get THAT CLEAR LOOK cause I want to SEE things. Not a single yellow light… Woongie earings? YES. Please save Ravn from his chocker. Seoho dear… what is the point of wearing a black waistcoat… WITH A BLACK SHIRT? (But it’s approved regardless).
09/06/19
https://youtu.be/kf_C_GaCeGA
I present you Michael Jackson Black or White 1.0 clothing set. Woongie earing? YES. The light was a bit tricky. Chorus was beautifully black and white. We also had blue/green. In the red one we had yellow lights but it didn’t bother me at all. Overall it’s approved to me.
WEEK 2
11/06/19
https://youtu.be/eQcu7UH3354
They repeated clothes, but it didn’t bother me. Seoho rings? YES. No yellow lights. This is also super good and I can’t choose between the two times they wore this clothes.

They repeated Michael Jackson Black or White 1.0 set. Ketchup and mustard? Purple? Lighting was a no. Seoho ring was a yes.

New clothes yay. Keonhee hair and clothes were nice, I don’t know what to think about this set of clothes because I was never a fan of prints or this variations of cream and brown. The way the lights were positioned was tricky but the small amout of yellow lights didn’t bother me at all. No rings or earings today unfortunately.

Clothes were repeated witch is a no. Do not think that instead of wearing silver or gold wearing black jewelry will make me forgive the clothes. No rings or earings today unfortunately. Ketchup and mustard lights is also a no. Keonhee clothes making him look taller as usual… This whole performance was a whole no.

I present you Michael Jackson Black or White 2.0 set. IT’S HIGH END JEWELRY YOU WANT? IT’S HIGH END JEWELRY YOU’LL GET. Seoho rings (in both hands), Woongie earings, Keonhee double necklace, Leedo earings and TRIPLE necklace, do you know how powerful you have to be to use a triple necklace? The only things that killed it were the hand microphones and the yellow lights…
14/06/2019… I will never forget this day… How do they DARE to arrive at the recording… like THIS?
and when it’s performance time they step down the clothing? Well the clothes they were using ARE pretty but the ones they arrived? STUNNING ( aka ACDC Black in Black 2.0). Stylist min there are occasions you need to save the outfit to use… just arriving at the recording with those clothes is a waste of fashion. It could easily replace one of the times you repeated clothes. (I may say make up and contact lenses were on point too)

(Thank you music core for the low definition)
Yay new clothes, the hairs and clothes look SO FLUFFY. Seoho rings yes, Woongie earings yes, Leedo rings YES, lighting was good, no complains here.
16/06/19
https://youtu.be/z1A7pgFJMVE
First of all I’m really mad because they cutted the song. Second I’m really mad because they didn’t upload on YouTube. It’s seems like this is was pre calculated beucase it was EXACTLY WHEN THEY CHANGED THE COREOGRAPHY. I don’t know if they changed because they knew the song would be cut or if it was really a coincidence… humanity mistery again. Lighting was so beautiful until they came with the yellow… Woongie hair was so fluffy and earings was a yes. Clothes were Michael Jackson Black or White 3.0 and that’s it… That day I learned my lesson… you either are team rings or team gloves… there is no in between.
WEEK 3

I present you the new year eve set… Happy new year everyone, white and gold. From the same writers of black waistcoat with black shirt we have white waistcoat with white shirt. Ketchup and mustard lights? No. Seoho rings, YES. Woongie earing? YES. Shout out Ravn looks super good and Leedo chocker was middle term. Xion was not present and they had to do small changes (I SEE YOU SEOHO THANK YOU SIR)

(I’m so sorry for the low definition here)
Same old story. I’m mad they cutted the song, didn’t upload on youtube and exactly when they changed the coreography. On the other side we have new clothes yay. It’s not only black and gold powerful match. It’s black and gold with snake print cause I’m a bad bitch. It’s the only place where they NEEDED to use the yellow lights and I’m actually mad they used black and white. Someone save Seoho from his chocker. Color scheme was great but it’s not like the clothes desing are bad. I just feel it could have been better. We didn’t have earings or rings today BUT HEY, FANSING, BING BING HAS A COREO AND ITS AWSOME. 23/06/19 will be in my heart (even though it was just a sneak peak).
4 WEEKS BICTHES
Ya’ll misbelievers will hear this song untill your ears BLEED
25/06/19
https://youtu.be/rg_x8oKwibs
Woongie you really fooled me here I was scared. He only did the fingerheart cause it was their last performace at that specific program. Repeating clothes… Lighting was good, no earings or rings… Well really tricky. I don’t see roots so you all did a touch up on the hairs and Woongie got a little bit blonder… I don’t like it, it don’t think the color suits him. Keonhee hair got a little darker but no problems… That’s it.
26/06/19
https://youtu.be/dMUSRroP1K0
Repeated the new year eve set. Seoho had to repeat the clothes for me to understand the clothes. Seoho ring yes, Woongie earing yes. Lighting was huge no, all crazy combinations like blue and yellow and purple and etc. But in the ending even though it was yellow the lighting was pretty.
27/06/19 ~~FINALE~~
https://youtu.be/TfEpkKwGQuA
We going Marilyn Monroe Woongie? His earings as always YES, Lithing... well… very tricky since we almost couldn’t see it but it didn’t look promissing. White and cream with black look more promissing then grey with black and red and purple… but not my favorite clothes, they have better weapons… Well… that’s it.
I wish they would go the whole week but they didn’t…
SUPRISE BITCH, YOU THINK 27/06/19 WAS OVER? THINK AGAIN
Oneus first photobook in Milano was announced. I won’t go into detail cause this is not the goal here... but we get it... YOU WEREN’T JOKING AROUND IN ITALY. Usually it takes a lot of time for a group to come up with a photobook so I’m proud and that was pretty smartass way to finish promotions if I may say...
Now… you have seen me against the yellow light for the whole post and you must be asking yourself WHY? Well… when you have the work to color correct the entire MV to cool colors YOU MUST AS WELL DO IT ON THE PERFORMANCES… that’s it… it’s called color pallet and you should respect it. Or in other cases like when they used black and gold respect the color palette of the specific performance.
Now let’s go to 05/07/19 Oneus is a newer group so I wasn’t even dreaming about this cause again... It takes a while for this to happened. My spider senses told me something was off when they announced they would be attending breakout in Japan and SURPRISE. Twilight japanese version was announced. Versions A/B/C and CD+DVD. Some questions were raised. There will be another version of the MV and new clothes? If yes I WANT SOMETHING ON THE SAME LEVEL. Will there be a instrumental version? Will they put Valkyrie japanese version too? They would all be answered later... AND MORE. They had the audacity to show BingBing complete coreo for the first time. They must really love Japan. Legends also say that they already performed the japanese version in this festival.
I was getting uneasy with the release date coming closer and no photos of the covers of the CD’s... then 25/07 they released a schedule... I wasn’t really expecting a schedule but I was happy cause next day we would have a teaser of the MV and surprise, it was basiclly the same thing. Good because is quality stuff but bad cause I was waiting somehing new... 29/07/19 We got tracklist and GUESS WHO WAS THERE?? EXACTLY, VALKYRIE JAPANESE VERSION +++++ TWO new songs.... We are blessed.. until 30/07/19 where we got what actually was happening...
IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL LIMITED CD+DVD? It follows Raise US desing but I wanted something more... It fells like it’s missing something...
Version A (Clearly Valkyrie) IT’S INSTRUMENTAL YOU WANT? IT’S INTRUMENTAL YOU’LL GET. But I’m sad... where are the other two new songs you may ask?
Verson B OOONNEEEE of the new songs (ok we also have it’s instrumental too and cover is ok)
Version C THE OTHER SONG (we have it’s instrumental too and I didn’t know people had silver skin...)
Do you see the strategy? Each version has one of the songs so you have to buy all the versions... And I didn’t like this...
07/08 The MV was released. They don’t have official youtube chanel so they uploaded in the company that represents them in japan.
youtube
The major changes were the individual shots as they had to sing in japanese. Nothing to complain in here, their pronunciation was good but the lyrics timing didn’t seem to match the song. Valkyrie had a better japanese version then Twilight... I loved the two new songs we got too.
(Bless the person who putted Korean and Japenese side to side, I saved the video on that huge playlist)
Also, can we appreciate how well Oneus and Twilight was received in Japan? They went to national television, topped Oricon AND Billboard Japan. Tower Records was EMPTY on the first day and they promoted for almost a whole month with shows. Japan basically adoped Oneus.
But nothing is flowers. It’s was extreamly difficult to buy this single online outside japan.LET ME TELL YOU. CD japan? Nothing, Amazon japan? Nothing, Yahoo Japan? Nothing. Rakuten? Nothing, YesAsia? NOTHING. THE ONLY PLACE I COULD FIND TO BUY THIS ONLINE IS TOWER RECORDS OFFICIAL WEBSITE WITCH GUESS WHAT IT IS IN JAPANESE. AND TO BUY OUTSIDE JAPAN YOU DON’T BUY FROM THEIR WEBSITE. IT’S FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE WITCH TOWER RECORDS THEMSELFS PUTED THE LINK IN THOSE HUGE ASS BANNERS IN THEIR WEBSITE. Summary it was literally giving birth to buy this online.
I tought I could rest BUT NOT. They would attend Soribada Music Awards... THEIR FIRST AWARD SHOW. Look I love Valkyrie... but I want Twilight to be performed and I WANT FASHION OK. I’m full of expetations, do not disappoint me Oneus. The day of the award show came and well... I was actually disappointed. Simple suits and the performance clothes? They repeated one of the worst weapons in their closets. C’mon... if you are going to repeat you have better choices IT’S NO EXCUSE... that’s the summary...
Well, from now I have covered everything... Don’t sleep in Keonhee vocals, Oneus has TWO MAIN VOCALS, appreciate Woongie vocals, that’s it.
If y’all want in my research I have build a really small database of Woongie earings in this comeback, maybe in the future I can do a compilation.
And that’s the end… if you got here congratulations you are a warrior and me too for the hours of links, print screens and editions… Byeee
#oneus#oneus kpop#oneus seoho#oneus keonhee#oneus hwanwoong#oneus ravn#oneus raise us#oneus xion#oneus twilight#oneus leedo#kim youngjo#oneus youngjo#lee seoho#kim gunhak#oneus gunhak#lee keonhee#yeo hwanwoon#son dongju#oneus dongju

I downloaded the soundtrack. I am not a fan compared to P4D soundtrack though =/
Same. ;w;I do think P3D is solid, and at least matches the visual theme/aesthetic of P3D (aka the techno theme). But…..I mean….P4D was disco….and they didn’t rely only on disco…. They had jazz, swing, pop, dance, rock, hard rock. P4D had a very big selection of different genres, both with it’s base and with it’s remixes, it helped that it drew A LOT on the P4 Reincarnation OST.
P3D DIDN’T draw on the Reincarnation OST tbh, it took two songs. When Moon Reaches To the Stars, and Burn My Dread (former isn’t really too different to the original game’s OST except it has more lyrics, and the full ver of BMD was first featured on the Reincarnation OST). Tbh those are the two songs that are the least Reincarnate-a-fied out of either P3′s or P4′s OST, and the Reincarnation has SOOOOOO many great songs to offer for P3D, and it really changes up the genre of each song compared to how it is in the original game. Like, I really do like Junpei’s Deep Breath remix song in P3D, but I’d drop it in a heart beat for my fun boppin little love song ver on the Reincarnation Album:
youtube
But you know what would’ve been fun? And it’s a dance I think Junpei could’ve pulled it off, I mean it def fits P4D’s aesthetic (aka the disco aesthetic), but Junpei was the first one to emanate this. And it’s this funky fresh remix of Want to be Close:
youtube
Like c’mon! If anyone could dance to that it’s totally Junpei! ;w;
Or how about something jazzy? Guess what there’s something for that too!
youtube
Heck….man, FeMC’s Sun is a great track too, and you know it’s not the fact it’s an FeMC song they didn’t use it (they def could’ve remixed it and maybe added lyrics if they REALLY wanted to):
youtube
Like why aren’t these in here? Like the remixes are fine, I actually really like them tbh (both as songs in general, and the fact they really got the beat down while I was playing, it really pulled me in) but these should also be in here (esp since P3/5D have less base songs than P4D, and like 4/5 less songs that aren’t MVs/are the characters actually dancing). Plus they also have PQ, Arena/Ultimax, the stage plays, the movies, EVEN THE PACHINKO MACHINE HAD AN ORIGINAL SONG! P3 had all these places to pull music from and it didn’t. ;w;
I also don’t understand why…..Burn My Dread is the last song…..I think the Last Battle Mix would’ve been better, or really just a remix of the song, I mean….P4D had a remix of it’s iconic song so you’d think P3D of their’s…..
Heck, ending on the Reincarnation remix of Memories of You would been good too (or even just a side song), it would’ve worked great as a interpretative dance too boot (just added this part but I guess there’s a limit to how many videos you can add 8U)!:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiiPjfueZEQ
OR! They could’ve done a dual mix of Memories of You, with Yumi and the PTS version (aka the male singer who did P3P’s opening, Shuhei), and make it seem like the two singers are singing at each other. Actually that would’ve been a great bonus song, esp if it involved Minato/Makoto and FeMC dancing at the Seal (with Yumi representing FeMC, and Shuhei for Minato). Ahhhhh so many possibilities flush down the drain cause they had to release P5D too instead of just expanding on P3D (with P5D being released later and being expanded on too). ;w; Also here’s a ref to Shuhei’s ver:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGnocs3gzaY
Ok like P3D still had more variety in it’s OST than P5D, I’ll give it that. But there could’ve been more, there SHOULD’VE been more.
Also like what were they thinking of for Aigis’ dances? Like I like the dances, they’re fine…..BUT WHAT THE FUDGE WHERE THEY THINKING? YOU HAVE A GD ROBOT! UTILIZE THAT! LIKE NO, THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO THAT AND THEY DIDN’T. THEY JUST AIRPLANE ARM’S HER THE WHOLE TIME! No no no, where’s the Mr Robot Dance moves? Why isn’t she the one dancing to the dubstep/techno stuff? I get the dancer could only do so much but oh my god there are people that specialize in these dance moves! Like I c’mon I was expecting AT LEAST ONE SONG/DANCE TO BE LIKE THIS:
youtube
But no instead Junpei is the one that gets these types of songs? Like he does a good job but…..c’mon ;w;
P5D? The only remixed I really like was…..I think the Twins….Anne’s Rivers Remix did get me on beat like the P3D ones but I didn’t really like it. When it came to the P5D remixes I thought they were either “fine for the most part but overstayed their welcome and made the song go on longer than it should’ve” (how I felt about the Wake Up Remix), or they were “good when they weren’t resembling their base song” (and by that point they could’ve/should’ve been original songs, the original beat was wasted as a remix). I was really pulling for these remixes too tbh.
I also think they misused a lot of the music with the dances. Anne, Haru, and Ren are pretty good dancers….the songs they chose for them SUCK ASS tho. Anne is a sexy dancer, and would thrive with either some sexy song (that Persona does not have so, crap can’t use that), or a pure pop song (something like in American pop, or P3/4, which P5 has zilch of any of those in it’s OST). Haru is a great ballet dancer, and while i think she makes her songs work the most, she’d benefit so much more from Yukiko’s songs imo, it’s really bring out her dances more (but P5 doesn’t have those songs either, except maybe Encounter: Lovers, but that’s not long enough). Ren, while I think the Wake Up Remix overstays it’s welcome, it’s so energetic and really fits him, but everything else I feel smother’s his talent. With the Last Surprise MV (ignoring the obvious problems of sexulizing the girls for now) it’s a good, well shot and danced to MV…..BUT WHY LAST SURPRISE???? Like with Anne’s base dancing, this MV is suppose to be sexy, it’s danced to sexy, it’s shot sexy….BUT LAST SURPRISE IS NOT A SEXY SONG! WE NEED AN ORIGINAL SONG! OR A SEXY REMIX OF ANOTHER SONG! WHY WASTE LAST SURPRISE?
And then there’s P5D’s final dance (and again I had a similar issue with P3D)…..Why not be like P4D and remix an iconic song? Wake up and Last Surprise (or even Life Will Change, tho that one worked great as an MV so let’s focus on the former two instead) are your most iconic! Remix them if you need to! They should be your final closing number!
Ahhhhhhh such a waste for both games, they deserve better. ;w;
That being said, for the OPs and Eds. I think P3D had the better one compared to P5D (I’d tie it with P4D, but I found P3D’s 2nd half a little lacking, and one line made me face palm….which isn’t as bad as P5D’s which made me throw my head threw a wall out of embarrassment XP). But I think P5D had the best ending song out of the 3, but on the other hand it doesn’t sound like and ending song and is wasted as one (it would be a perfect alt night theme). It was also wasted as an MV song, it has fresh music to offer P5D and they won’t have anyone dance to it. ;w; Ngl I don’t remember P3D’s ending song, it wasn’t bad, but for now I gotta rank it lower than P4D’s since I can’t remember it. XD ;w;
SO uhhhhhh there’s my essay on P3/5D’s music and song choice I didn’t realize I was gonna write. Sorry Huh you opened up a can of worms. ;w;

Hello!! So, I've recently taken an interest in ASTRO? And I was wondering if y'all knew of any performances/comeback stages/ whatever that would be good to watch to get a good feel of the group? You know? Lol, anyway, thank you for your time!!
i legitimately got so excited when i saw this ask bc one of my favorite things abt astro is their live stages and i have an entire playlist of my favorite live stages (from all my groups) so i’m hype to rec some for you!! literally any astro performance is good, they have such an incredible energy on stage and unique stage presence that they blow me away in every single one. i’ll go from debut up through crazy sexy cool [under the cut]
sorry if this is like way too much for you; if it is, feel free to watch just one from each era or something!!
cat’s eye
- quick breakdown of this song, it was like their predebut debut; it was the featured song in their predebut webdrama ‘to be continued’, and so the mv was released before they debuted
- mv - show champion live stage (cat’s eye + their other Fantastic Song polaris) (polaris is the origin of eunwoo’s iconic ‘gachi gallae?’)
hide & seek
- okay so now we’re officially at debut; their concept for their first four mini albums was to make one for every season, and hide & seek is the title track of the first one, spring up; also has the Most Iconic astro dance move imo (the lil pyramid thing they do @ the beginning w bin on top)
- performance m/v - showchampion live stage (i’m partial to the green outfits whoops) - dance practice (always watch to the very end of astro dance practices)
breathless
- first comeback!! this mini album is titled summer vibes and features literally one of the most catchy astro songs ever i get it stuck in my head once a week; another Iconic astro dance move is born with eunwoo holding mj and moving him like a lil airplane
- dance practice - inkigayo live stage (the orange outfits were the cutest fight me) - special stage (they’re wearing cute animal hats what more could u want; also, skip to 2:15 for the actual performance)
growl
- this isn’t astro’s song nor is it even all of astro lmao; it’s a rookie special stage of knk, snuper, and astro covering exo’s growl. the astro members that participated are rocky, moonbin, and sanha!!
- link
can’t help myself
- this also isn’t the entirety of astro, just jinjin; it’s actually an eric nam live stage where jinjin was featured for the rap part!! he absolutely kills it, and he’s like bffs w eric now (fun fact: vernon from svt was featured in another performance of this song and did the rap)
- link
fireworks
- this is another song from summer vibes that they were able to do a live stage of and it’s super cute!!!
- link
confession
- boy oh boy autumn story was The Era for so many reasons but mainly bc confession is just such a damn good song (R-O-C-K-Y) and they promoted it really well too!!
- performance @ the 26th seoul music awards (not typical stage outfits for this era: RED AND BLACK SUITS) - mnet presents performance (filmed during baby era!!) - music core stage (red outfits were superior dont even @ me) - relay dance
replay
- astro did special stage cover of shinee’s replay where rocky and jinjin sing (aka the birth of vocalist rocky, the best thing to grace the earth in 2016)
- link
winter dream
- i didn’t put a specific song, i just did the mini album title bc they didn’t really promote normally during this era with a bunch of live stages on music shows of a title track, they have some stages where they sing should’ve held on (also called again), and they also did some stuff with you&me, which is their song to aroha (their fans) saying thank you for everything and its real cute
should’ve held on/again
- dance practice - kcon la performance - kcon mexico performance - kcon japan performance (intro + again) - kstar live power music (again + baby)
you&me
- special ddoca (this isnt a performance its just them being dorky and cute;; basically a self mv of m&y) - astroad to dc (fancam)
don’t look back
- this is their first time on immortal songs 2 (i cant tell you much abt the premise of the show but from what i can tell they have to prepare a medley or cover or special performance of stuff and astro kills it every time)
- link
baby
- the truly ‘refreshing idol’ era with dream part 01 and it’s also the one that made me fall in love with astro; their stage outfits are literally the best thing ever the aesthetically pleasing ergonomic lines and colorblocking makes literally every baby stage my favorite whoops
- performance mv - dance practice - mcountdown stage - 2x faster vers (from when they went on weekly idol) - relay dance
la bamba
- they were in mexico for kcon mexico and these kings of language did a wonderful cover of la bamba 12/10 would recommed
- link
with you
- their second time on immortal songs 2 and they killed it yet again

crazy sexy cool
- their most recent comeback song in dream part 02 (as of march 2018 when i’m writing this) and they finally have completely dropped the super cutesy stuff; this one was a much more mature comeback but they maintained their refreshing imagine somehow being ‘refreshing sexy’ idk what that entails but they did it
- simply kpop (leather jackets lord have mercy) - dance practice - special dance practice (they goof off and they’re six entire dorks that i love so much) - relay dance - music bank (red!!suits!!) - mbc music (arohas are in the background making shapes and words with little white papers or smth its so cute!!)
run
- they also did full and short stages of this upbeat ballad (is that even a thing) from dream part 02 and its real cute; vocalist rocky has returned to murder us all and jinjin gets to sing again (he’s rlly improved since the last time im proud of my sweet rap boy)

- they went on a show called sugarman 2 (again, idk much abt the premise of the show but they were on the same ep w red velvet which was cute) and im p sure this is a song cover but anyway i love it a lot (and there’s a pro recording of it available on apple music)

christmas songs
- they had a couple christmas special stages this season that were absolutely adorable
- carol medley - must have love
so that was my list of astro live stages that i hope will help you!! i’m sorry if its too much, i kinda went overboard bc i love pretty much each and every performance they do
i went back to look @ the original ask and i realized that u wanted just a few to get a feel of the group but instead i spent 1.5 hrs making an exhaustive list of quality astro live stages my bad my true trashy aroha self is showing again
if there’s other arohas who have some more good live stages to add, feel free to reblog with those links!!

Wanna one for the ask thingy! Btw I love your blog and I can just relate to you so much?! Anyway you’re awesome!!! ❤️ (sorry im really awkward)
Group: Wanna One
First Bias: Park Woojin! I liked him ever since he tried to be a leader for the group battle on Produce 101. I thought he was soft, but I. WAS. WRONG. Sexy baby? Oh my lady?!? Yep, he was just a bundle of surprises that kept attacking me. I didn’t expect it to happen during the beginning, but near the end of the show, I banked my whole heart on him getting into Wanna One.
Current Bias: Still Park Woojin! I think it’s hard to stray from a survival show bias, especially if you’ve liked them for the whole survival show? I’ve been through the whole experience with Woojin, so it’s hard to have my bias wrecker wreck my list that easily, haha. I think I typically stan softer boys, but Woojin makes me laugh every time! He keeps you on your toes… *cue him popping his stomach out on Knowing Bros*
Bias Wrecker: Hwang Minhyun? I’m a little unsure because I thought it was Jaehwan until Minhyun on Wanna One Go started attacking me out of nowhere. His laugh is charming, and he’s this weird mix of awkward and classy. Also I got real soft when he spoke Japanese with Sousuke?? Overall a great guy with a pretty voice.
Fave Song: Since I did one song from each NCT unit, I’ll do one song from each Wanna One album. From To Be One, it’s “Burn It Up” solely for rap line’s section starting with “we know how to live our life”. From Nothing Without You, it’s “I Wanna Have,” which is most likely my favorite Wanna One song ever. The vocals are wistful, and the short EDM bit doesn’t detract from the song, surprisingly. The keyboard and guitar and bells and all the beautiful sounds blend together so well. My favorite song from I Promise You is “I’ll Remember You”. I like the small key changes, overall OST feeling… It’s almost like I’m finishing a good movie. “I Promise You (Confession Version)” has the same effect.
Fave MV: “Beautiful,” and I’m never going to stop insisting that that era was a whole aesthetic. I like both the dance M/V and the movie version.
Oh my gosh, thank you for the little message!! I’m really happy that you like my blog! >v
☆彡Send me a K-pop group and I’ll answer! ☆彡

i saw yoonjo on tu and i really wanna stan hello venus (any ideas where to start?)
an EXCELLENT decision that i would recommend to all
i think the most important thing 2 know like straight off so that u don’t get confused is that there is essentially helbi 1.0 and helbi 2.0:
helbi 1.0 was (from left to right) yooyoung, yoonjo, ara, alice, lime and nara. they had 3 comebacks: venus (their debut, yoonjo was injured so couldn’t participate), what are you doing today and would you like some tea. they were pretty popular (think early aoa/apink) then bc they were essentially split between 2 different companies, pledis n fantagio, they were split up in 2014 and the pledis girls (yoonjo and ara) were removed while alice, yooyoung, nara n lime continued on under fantagio as hello venus
which gives us helbi 2.0 - (from left to right) lime, yeoreum, leader alice, yooyoung, seoyoung and nara! yeoreum n seoyoung were added by fantagio n then they came back w sticky sticky later in 2014 :)
i’m going to focus on helbi 2.0 bc they’re the girls you’ll be stanning now as hello venus but there r tonnes of helbi 1.0 videos out there: check out mtv diary, birth of venus, weekly idol n this channel for all of the world’s cutest baby yoonjo fancams)
here’s a list of helbi 2.0′s mvs/comebacks (u might’ve missed a couple bc they weren’t all promoted)
sticky sticky (seoyoung n yeoreum’s debut, single w whisky which is one of their best and most underrated songs u gotta listen to it n appreciate)
wiggle wiggle (truly iconic digital single which tends to be the only song people know by them lol i’m linking the choreo practice bc trust me the real mv is not worth bothering w)
i’m ill (glitzy club bop girls served looks deserved better ‘performance’ mv linked bc it has more views than the ‘actual’ mv lol make sure u listen to whatcha talk about and chameleon especially on the mini)
glow (unpromoted collaboration w producers devine channel a sad bop introducing main vocal ahn yeoreum w an mv serving aesthetics n girl love)
paradise (another unpromoted collaboration w devine channel chill summer bop introducing main rapper ahn yeoreum w the world’s CUTEST mv)
mysterious (their most recent comeback!!! 2017′s most slept on masterpiece tho the mystery of venus mini album was only mysterious + the devine channel songs including runway which is another collab but for whatever reason didn’t get an mv)
in terms of getting to know the girls we don’t really get any english subbed videos these days :( but there’s still a lot:
waaa! it’s yeoreum! (i would recommend these first!!! their most recent lil ‘reality show’ all subbed by fantagio)
helbi on after school club (eng subbed)
these are all their subbed videos on vlive from most recent to oldest(they r v cute would highly recommend): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 we don’t get subs for anything any more n they don’t have their own channel but they r live regularly on fantagio’s channels u can watch loads more streams here
the immigration w helbi (lots of cute english/eng subbed)
hi my name is alice
i’m a born hater
save nara
basically anything marked hvtv on their channel is gold like what even is this
their amazing cover of boss when will they get a girl crush concept
their similarly amazing cover i will never let you down enjoy the harmonies and lime flexing that main vocal spot
their performance of when tomorrow comes on immortal songs 2 during mysterious promotions!
yeoreum’s unreal cover of i will survive
this remains the funniest asmr version i’ve seen to date they can’t take it seriously at all watch nara smack lime n seoyoung knock the fuckin mic over
they rly tried w this dance relay
eng subbed cut from a music show behind the scenes during wiggle wiggle promotions
there r also cute compilation videos that cupids have done!!! 1 2 3
world’s cutest fancam of it’s just love at their 4th anniversary fanmeet featuring VOCALS n the girls being the cutest
there are so many cute fancams they might be a little harder to find bc they don’t rly have much of an international fanbase but lots of hello cupids have been here from the beginning n truly stuck w them they themselves absolutely love being hello venus n each other n they have no intention of disbanding any time soon
i would recommend @hellovnus n @fykimlime (tho incredibly sadly inactive rn they still have lots of amazing helbi/lime content from debut right through to mysterious era) for hv blogs check out all their tags for more helbi videos n stuff! i try to keep @helbiupdates relatively up to date w fantakens/releases for all 8 members so u’ll see yoonjo n unit g stuff there too :)
#i hope u don't mind me publishing this it's ended up a bit more comprehensive than i originally intended#but i hope this helps n i hope u love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#loonavrse

Reach Nirvana through BTS
Firstly what’s a Nirvana?
Here I’m talking about the music group called Nirvana. The name comes from Nirvana, a term in Buddhism referring to a state of perfect quietude. It’s radically opposed to the music of the rock/grunge/alternative rock band who has been very popular during the 90s, even becoming the representative of their generation. The group stopped their activities after the death of their singer Kurt Cobain, in 1994.
Several elements related to the group have been used in BTS’ latest works, starting from 화양연화 pt.2. There are references to Nirvana’s lyrics and albums, several appearances of sunglasses Cobain used to wear and some pictures.
The person responsible for all those refs is probably Kim Sunghyun, the art director of BTS. Just check his twitter and you’ll see a lot of posts about the group. He also has an “in bloom” tattoo on the right wrist, as well as the baby of Nevermind on the forearm. More than that, Kim Sunghyun is also the one behind Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa.
References to the lyrics, albums, and MVs
For 화양연화 pt.2 they just used lyrics and albums’ names everywhere: in the concept photo on the boys’ white shirts, in several rooms of the “RUN” Japanese version MV, even the name of “Intro: Never Mind” could be a reference.
However, they didn’t use a lot of references, just a few, repeated several times. Here’s the list:
“Nevermind”
Nevermind is one of Nirvana’s albums.
“in bloom,” “come as you are,” “teen spirit”
The three first songs of Nevermind are “Smells like teen spirit”, “In bloom”, and “Come as you are”. “teen spirit” also appeared in the first trailer, for 2 COOL 4 SKOOL. But there’s no proof it was related to Nirvana there.
Another form of reference can be found in “War of Hormone”. As pointed by Def Bro in his reaction for the MV, the last scene in the gym has similarities with the video for “Smells like teen spirit”.
Cobain’s sunglasses
Why do they have their own section? Because I find them cute~
Jimin was the first one to wear them in “RUN.”
SUGA also has a red pair but they’re hanged on his shirt.
And then in “Fire,” Jimin wore them again, accompanied by RM and V.
While Min Suga was once again being a rebel and not wearing his red pair...
Pictural references
As glasses aren’t enough to dress someone (they would’ve totally been enough), the boys also wore shirts related to Nirvana.
In the Prologue, in “RUN,” in STIGMA, and in the concept photos for You Never Walk Alone
In the first two cases, RM and V wore a shirt with the logo of the band on it while in the last two pictures, V and JK wore a shirt representing the album cover for In Utero.
In the Short Film for “First Love”, you can see a poster of Cobain on the shop front. It shows a picture of him smoking while he was recording at Hilversum Studios. There’s also his Rolling Stone’s cover in the display stand, on the bottom left. There’s also a vinyl of Nevermind (the blue square spot around the center of the picture).
Another occurrence of the In Utero cover was in the trailer for the WINGS Tour, at the end, when V is standing with his black wings opened.
Then in the second Highlight Reel, a poster of a letter from Cobain could be seen in SUGA’s room.
Now, Love Yourself 承 Her.
Two posters can be seen behind Jin in the V version book. The first one is a promotional poster for the album Insecticide, and the second is a poster for the tribute concert Negative Creeps.
There’s also a picture of Kurt Cobain during their concert at Maxwell’s on July the 13th, 1989 behind RM.
This picture, as well as a few more, also made a discreet cameo during the BangBangCon The Live opening VCR.
In the two MVs for “Dynamite”, several Nirvana posters could be seen in Jung kook’s room. It is to be noted than on almost all of them, Kurt Cobain’s face is hidden by a sticker.
Is there a point in all those references? Are they just for the aesthetic? Well, I’m not a professional so I can’t answer that. There’s obviously a big part of aesthetic as the boys are often representing rebellious youth, which was also the case with Nirvana. We can also see similarities in the lyrics talking about treason, death, and loss of innocence. Kim Sunghyun, the art director, is probably at the origin of all those references since he’s a big fan of the punk genre.
All in all, it’s a good idea to refer to the past generation. It proves that 90s boys with dirty hair had the same preoccupation as today’s pretty boys, no matter how much the world has changed.

FIRST REACTION TO ALL NU'EST MVS
Since I am a new l o v e that saddly didn’t get to know about NU'EST until their appearance in Produce 101, I decided to make a first tour into their music by watching all their music videos. I had only seen Overcome, Love Paint and Face while they were on the show, but now I have seen all of them and here you have my first impression:
2012 Face (62.759.886 views) -The BEST debut song -Such a jam -If you don’t look at the lyrics -What was this concept honestly? -Their clothes and hairstyles… why -They look so handsome anyway -The dance has some aggresive points like punching people and that’s weird -But seriously, how is their debut song so good and catchy? -Legends only
Action (19.530.745 views) -Minki???? -What are those clothes??? -This is A JAM -Jonghyun looks SO handsome -There’s not much going on -But OMG the song -The dance break with Jonghyun in the center is a must -Rap and vocals SO on point -Minhyun and Minki’s final shot, they look like the couple of a futurist movie

Sleep talking (8.476.842 views) -It just began but what the actual fuck -The clothes, I wanna die -I don’t know what is going on -Everything is so random -Minki’s head thing WHAT THE FUCK -The dance’s also extra weird -But their VISUALS WOW
Fine girl (2.391.627 views) -Casual trip to Thailand -They look SO CUTE -THE KARTS SCENE I’M DEAD -They look so chill and happy, whatt concept -Dongho driving like a pro -Playing in the pool YES enjoy it babies -JONGHYUN’S VISUALS -I love seeing them being themselves fksjg

2016 Overcome (5.461.031 views) -THE song -The concept is so beautiful -MANGA DREAM BOY MINKI -Yuha tho -THE VISUALS -The aesthetic is so fascinating -Minhyun’s blond hair fits him SO WELL

Daybreak (Jonghyun and Minhyun) (469.462 views) -THE AESTHETIC ONCE AGAIN -So visually pleasing -Movie like -They look SO HANDSOME AND WARM -Minkyung looking pretty -Minhyun’s vocals saved my life -Jonghyun’s voice is the best thing that has ever happened to me -The MV in which I would like to live -I love every shot -It’s perfect -Just wanted to say that these two love each other so much -I’m emo
So this is my probably super biased first impression of all their MVs. As you may see I added the view counter in every video but it is only the views of 1theK channel, they also have some of their videos uploaded at their own channel. I also linked all the videos in the title of the songs so you can go ahead and watch them if you didn’t or just rewatch it again because why not, let’s burn that view counter! NU'EST RISE, LOVES RISE, IT’S OUR MOMENT TO HELP OUR BOYS WALK ON A FLOWER PATH 🌻🌻🌻
