I might donate to her kickstarter, thinking about it.

Idolmaster and RGP is the shiznit! I keep wondering where's my Suji ; ;

Speaking of idols who refuse to give up (sigh rip Pristin... again), I'd already gone through all the stages of grieving for Brave Girls so I was very happily surprised when I saw their cb recently. And on a completely unrelated note since Yukika and before I'd also been wondering why we don't see a lot more city pop, specially for groups, since even though it's a niche genre it's such an untapped direction, I hope we start seeing more of its influence. So yeah.

but you could tell he kept falling into his signiture sound, which is just party, dance, hip hoppy pop songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ips2mM7Zqw

and thats pretty much all he does now.

with blackpink, its kinda hard to not think that YG is just using them for their star appeal, using them in commricials, modeling, promotions for other things, and then just pumping out a song every once in a while to keep them relevant. whether or not thats true, Teddy has just become lazy because hey, it works and it prints money.

Nod. I like BP better than 2NE1, but 2NE1 had better songs for sure. Teddy has just been phoning them in for a while. And yeah YG doesn't care for them at all, they're just his token girl group. I hate that ass.

this is really dumb and shallow but I have literally no one else to talk about this with

is it just me, or does SNSD Sunny look like a completely different person from ~2016 onwards?

Yes, she does look pretty different, but really, they all do if you look at them. Soshi changed a lot through the years even for idols. A lot has to do with their styling though, the same person the same day can look pretty different depending on styling. If Sunny styled herself the same as she did before she'd look less different, but her styling is very different. And then of course there's natural aging and who knows.

Question, where does "seagullmarin" come from?

Im clearly being hyperbolic calling it Kids Bop, but JYP pitched the song up way too much, as they do with all Twice songs, to make them sound younger/cuter (despite this being their "more mature" era) and it takes away from the song and no one has the grit in their voice to really make the verses pop. I also find Twice's chorus more grating and repetitive. Plus Im already not a fan of throwing in token rap sections to give the bad vocalists something to do in Kpop and the song is better without it.

You're hard to please, Rudd. You say you don't like the high pitching, but then you say you don't really like the newer stuff. I mean to be fair maybe it's just the style direction that you don't like... but still, you have a very picky taste. You're such a veteran fan but sometimes your expectations are too high or don't even make sense. I shouldn't say that... you always make sense, you always have a valid point, but it's just too critical. Why even compare them this critically in the first place? It's not just supposed to be the exact same song, they're supposed to sing it differently.

KaZooo posted...
Actually, I like the Twice chorus over the demo.

Twice's vocals is a mix of things...
They were crafted to do the cutesy image. Momo really shouldn't be sounding like she's killing herself via gas poisoning.
And people keep eating it up. I think generally in Asia, that's the literal taste in female girl groups.

Jihyo has a very awkward high note in that song.

Mmm, I like Twice's chorus more, too. Just cuz it's different, I like new and different. Zara's is a demo of a good song but Twice didn't make it bad, they just made it theirs. You're right, it's just who they are, and the direction they're going with. And yeah they're Twice so they can do without any one or all of our opinions anyways.

I think because the note is too short for her. Jihyo has very long high notes. Here she's just getting warmed up and all of a sudden the note is over lol. The song is just a different style than what they were doing until more recently. And it's weird because it's not supposed to be sung like they do... but that actually just makes me like it more.

I'm not sure tbh lol. I didn't even get into Twice at debut. I got into them around Likey/What is Love/Dance the Night Away lol. But other than them and Itzy, I dig IU and Sunmi's Gashina lol

Hey, IU and Sunmi (and Twice and Itzy, too) are a great start, we all start somewhere. I remember when I was in your place just starting to get into Kpop, and actually a lot of my input in the beginning I got from this very thread.

If I may give you a big suggestion what you should do is kind of build a new habit, set however much time aside you can where you just start exposing yourself to new (or as the case may be, old) Kpop, pretty much indiscriminately. Just start clicking, dive in, soak on it, absorb it. I think it's a phase that every Kpop fan needs to go through, at least for some time. And as it happens with every new hobby/interest, you very well may have to take some time off another... A diet consisting mostly of Twice memes and Momoland pix, hey I know it's delicious, far be it from me to speak against it, specially here, I'd be a gargantuan hypocrite, but... I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't really think that you'd really enjoy discovering new (and old) stuff. I think if you ask any real Kpop fan they will tell you so.

Oh yeah. I don't mind listening to older stuff. Probably half the music on my Spotify is stuff from late 90s/early 2000s lol

Yeah, I think that with the possible exception of a Korean who actually grows with the stuff (and even then), if you like Kpop that means you don't have an ordinary taste in music to begin with, you're not just interested in what's new and trendy. So chances are you're going to like or at least appreciate most of the older stuff. There might be some you don't of course but that's okay, I'm sure the more you look around the more gems you'll find.

What have you listened to and possibly like that's older than say... 2015? Say before Twice debut.

Really, it's not just handing you rose colored glasses, I've actually never liked that mentality, I think newer stuff is just as good as the old, but... All I know is that if I hadn't watched and listened to what I have and I knew what I was missing I wouldn't be able to get to it fast enough. Now, you like Kpop. I think we can be sure of that by now. So you have an AMAZING treasure in front of you. You just have to reach out and take it. Get those bibimbopz!

Yeah that's a shame. I feel like it might be a longevity too. The longer you're together after being around each other almost all the time, I feel like tensions will eventually rise up. But it all depends how they handle those disagreements and stuff. I can see members of Twice getting upset at each other at times, but I don't think anyone has the capacity to be a true bully...except maybe Jihyo cuz she roasted everyone but Nayeon on that one variety show moment lol

On a lighter note, Yeji and Ryujin are so fucking adorable here. Make sure to turn volume on

Too adorable, other groups and companies should take notes on ITZY's style of conflict resolution.

More seriously I agree. Yes because of the happy happy image groups are made to project there are many more conflicts we're not aware of I'm sure (until the time comes when someone has enough and everything explodes) but I really think although probably all groups have their issues that fans don't know about most of them also find ways to solve their differences and at least carry on in peace, yes it's a fake image but idol pop IS image anyways I mean, fans just need to learn that each person is different, each relationship is different and so each group is different, they're human and how well they get along really depends on so many factors, and you can never tell when you'll have a bad clash of personalities until it's too late.

On the other hand that is a good point, bullying is known to be a problem in Korea for starters and some kids may be carrying a lot of bad attitude, the chances that everything will go well with such a character in the mix are messed up since the beginning. And then you have the straight out criminals like Seungri, but I digress.

YamaChan posted...
Groups should just air out their grievances instead of letting them slowly build into long-lasting grudges. Solar and Moonbyul have come to blows before. More than once. But two members of Mamamoo have been best friends since middle school (Wheein and Hwasa).

It's just really sad that this has happened, and it really shows how superficial the relationships we put on pedestals as fans can be.

Exactly, all groups have to find their own ways to get along. Some manage better than others and some obviously manage much worse, for various reasons, some maybe out of their control. Generally speaking fans need to be more realistic but what's new.

Anyways I'm still shocked, you hate to see it no matter what, and so sorry for Mina, I really hope she can recover, she obviously had to endure a lot of crap. And yeah I'm also wondering whether this had something to do with Choa's departure, maybe there were other unrelated reasons, maybe it was the main reason why she left.
