whoa
---

Damn what
---

yeah idk. maybe JYP's next group is still a long ways off, and she grew anxious with waiting.

also, what about chaeryoung i need to know. maan, i remember everyone anticipating what a great dance-oriented team the younger trainees on 'sixteen' would make, and now they've almost all left.
---

Yeah, that's got to be it with how well Twice is doing.
---

i wonder what her next move will be.

in other news, ISAC has revived doyeonjung again this year:

Loona - Hi High

not their best, but it's alright.

also oof, there are rumours that soyeon and soomin have left fave.
---

if they're not just straight up done with being idols, can they all join stone music

it would at least make it easier for me to keep tabs on them if they're all in one place
---

been watching so much akbingo

the dodgeball part in muchaburi dodgeball is kind of besides the point, but when jurina's there she's there to play some fucking dodgeball.
---

oh good, there's a clip of the part i was sort of referring to (she does a cool feint later, too):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uKxrmBBwcA" data-time="

yeah, i've been getting a bit into 48G. somehow i've watched 200-some-odd episodes of akbingo and some other stuff.

i'm all about that NGT48. 4th single in october! i'm not used to these long lead times.

(bananalemon is cool, too)

AKB48 - Sentimental Train

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADh4z1VPdVI" data-time="

holy shit sketch!jurina and cg!jurina.
---

sketch!jurina kind of fits even thematically, but cg!jurina cracks me up too much.

never posted this for the concept evals, but:
Rumor > 1000% > See You Again > I Am > Rollin Rollin > To Reach You

also found out that lucy/park jiyeon recorded the guide for 'rumor' and now i want the full version of that.
---

aw yeah, go miyu go chaeyeon

though shame about losing doa, the coolest person on the show

...man, I've been looping BTS' DNA a lot lately.. I don't even know why..

maybe you sensed that the new one would be bad:

BTS - Idol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBuZEGYXA6E" data-time="
---

I'm not really even a big fan of BTS, I just follow along because they're so massive.

But this is probably one of the worst songs I've heard by them. It's just... horribly messy.
---

been revisiting some BAP performances since bang yongguk got free (with the rest surely to follow when their contracts are up). man, they were great and the way they were fucked over is infuriating.

it's going to be tough, but i hope they regroup at some point in the future.
---

man, you're right. i should check out the rest of the album.

on BAP, yeah, i still remember when it was BAP vs EXO (before they were Busker Busker'd). they could have been a contender, but then, well, the lengthy hiatus while TS dragged out their lawsuit happened.
---

oh hell yes:

Lucy - Rumor (demo)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDE3tAyfdvA" data-time="

also, here's a compilation of miyu's original songs, and i want studio versions for all of it:

Nami ga Tsutaerumono (10th AKB48 Sekai Senbatsu Sousenkyo Kinen Waku)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgf3tpNibuc" data-time="

undergirls and upcoming girls songs are the best of the bunch.

also i figured i'd recognise less and less people as it goes down the ranks, which was mostly true up until upcoming girls, where a recognised more since there are a lot of NGT48 members there (and goto moe centre hell yes).

"Suki" no Tane (Showroom Senbatsu)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIZ11pp1S_0" data-time="

actually nvm, showroom senbatsu got the best song.

momoland is a fun group.

i'm sure everyone knows by now, but hell yes Oh!GG:

ioi and wanna one have to attend the produce 48 finale. yeonjung is in despair.

edit - oh wait, only *some* IOI members will attend.
---

aw yeah

NGT48 - Sekai no Hito he

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQHQWuCxXCg" data-time="

song is pleasant enough, though i preferred the last 2 singles.

quality MV as usual, though.

love seeing OT10 here, hate not knowing when we'll see OT10 next.

soyeon's wink tho

Pumpkin, top 5 Mamamoo songs?
---

hmm, let's see. tbh, they're generally a bit hit-or-miss for me.

You're the Best
Emotion
Mr. Ambiguous
Finally
Woo Hoo

hon. mention: Piano Man, Rude Boy, Midnight Summer Dream

basically, most of their best songs are by Cosmic Sound.
---

wow, momoland did a lot while they were in the US

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRSxo51CdtQ" data-time="

can we get more of yeonwoo describing the plot of 'king-sized homer'
---

Maybe they cut it all out but I'm always kinda surprised by the lack of people realizing they're kpop idols. Jooe mentioned it briefly that someone recognized her but I would think in California of all places, more people would.
---

;_;

oh well, time to learn how SSK voting works, and wait for a solo album.


also fuck, almost all my faves contending for 12th.

well, at least chaekura is saved

also 9:3, garbage ratio
---

welp, there's confirmation. soomin, soyeon, and bowon have all left fave:
https://twitter.com/FAVEGIRLS2018/status/1035739284874002432

new instagram accounts:

soomin - https://www.instagram.com/iamsoomlee/
soyeon - https://www.instagram.com/s___syni__/
bowon - https://www.instagram.com/gyexlu/

first time hearing soomin sing in forever.

would be dope if they stick together somehow.

ooh mine is very different

Don't Be Happy
Friday Night
Memory
Words Don't Come Easy
Just

HM: Rainy Season, Emotion

If I could include solos, Hwasa's Be Calm would be top 3, and Wheein's Moderato would be HM.

Somehow, if Don't by Hwasa and Loco could be considered a Mamamoo song (which it can't), it'd be top 5

On this note, I agree. Most of the stuff on Melting is stuff I like, but other than that, I either think they strike gold or I think the song is just mediocre.

For example, both Starry Night and Egotistic are misses for me. They're not really bad, but I absolutely would not listen to them regularly. On the other hand, a song like Memory or Rainy Season are both great. And Rude Boy is pretty good. Those stay in the rotation.
---

oh yeah, 'don't be happy' is a good one that should be on my list. agreed about starry night and egotistic. been a while since i liked a main single of theirs, actually.

speaking of loco collabs, i dig this:

Baekhyun x Loco - Young

T-T my Soyeon.... But now that Somi's free as well, maybe they can get together?

it's possible!

on soomin's end, it looks like she's self-producing an album: https://www.instagram.com/p/BnL8e3lHctm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I forgot to put My Hometown on HM as well. That song is nice. I like it more than Emotion and Rainy Season
