You're not wrong. I mean, there are good songs in the new (G)I-DLE mini, but they're not the main track.
Got around to properly listen to Sunmi's new song, and I really liked it. Not as hard hitting as Gashina and Heroine, but still good and kind of relaxing.
I liked TXT's songs as well. Hopefully, their video gets played before BTS' concerts. Would give them a nice exposure.

Their videos and everything will be uploaded on bighit's channel. They are on a million views per hour pace (over 8 million views while I'm writing this). They don't need more exposure.
Sunmi's new track is pretty damn good.

AKB48's Takahashi Juri is going to be a member of Woollim's next girl group.
This is awesome. A great career opportunity for Juri. She's been in the industry for eight years already but she's still only 21. Great for Woollim and the new group too, giving them more exposure and a built-in fanbase. It should be a win-win situation, I hope.

This is such a weird move for her. She is top 12 AKB48 member, shows up consistently in their singles, and has decided to jump to a smaller market to a mid-tier company while burning the majority of her fanabse in the process just to debut in a kpop group. Not sure about this one. I admire her for following her passion, but this move is super risky.
No doubt TXT will be big, but it would be a good way to market them since the attendance numbers for the BTS tour is huge. Eventually BTS is going to suffer from the military service. Might as well give TXT some push here and there.
She might be thinking of her prospects post akb48.
A mid tier group may not be good in comparison to akb48
But it probably looks real fucking cushy to a akb48 graduate career in japan
OP

Seeing the huge amount of groups set to suceed from mid tier agencies that fail miserably (Pristin, Weki Meki, CLC,...) I don't think that's very "cushy" proposition. High profile graduated members do fine in Japan.
She has a huge fanabase in japan that placed her in the top 15 in the last 3 elections and that would had probably rode with her for life.
March is already better than February. I need to finalize my top 10 songs of February but I don't even have ten songs on my playlist... time to do some digging.
I'm really enjoying Noir, Sunmi hasn't disappointed me yet on this solo run.
I didn't know about these, thanks for the heads up.
Like It is title track worthy, good to see they're promoting it a bit on shows and appearances.

I wanna start posting some of my pickups that I got in Korea, so I'll start with this one. In general, I have 3 holy grail albums that I've been looking for and would love to own a copy of. During my trip, I found 2 of them, and one of them is this:
Wonder Girls 2nd album is real good! I remember on the old thread some ppl were saying this is one of thebest albums that goes beyond kpop and is just a generallly fantastic pop album. I already own a copy of Reboot which I absolutely love so I'm glad to add this one to my collection!
I found this at a store i Myeong Dong called 부루의 뜨락 , definitely a store worth checking out since they got a lot of cool "rare" stuff there... like they had all the early Eun Ji Won solo albums, but overcharging like 50,000 Won for them.
I found this album on its own separate shelf amongst other albums that were listed as rare. The price was 30,000W, but I actually bought the copy that was behind it, the Limited Edition version that I had no idea existed >_< that was 70,000W lol, which is actually more expensive than what you can get it for on ebay. Had no idea there was a LE version, but I'd just landed a few hours before shopping and was like YOLO gotta get it. Seems like the LE comes with a shirt and an autograph, but also has this when you open the box up:
anyways, there's a new Sunmi music video out today so figured I post this, even tho Sunmi isnt even in the group during this album lol. I also did pick up her album while I was there too... I really like a lot of the songs on it, and am looking forward to seeing her concert this week here in LA!!

Wonder World is sooooo goood. A gem. I also didn't know there was a limited edition of it.

This is a bit weird and rough, but very interesting. It has a very "homemade" feeling. I love that she keeps doing different stuff. Definitely not her best solo release (she had an outstanding run) but worth checking just for how unconventional it is.

Chorus sounds like a threat. Why does she want to catch up with us? 😰
Oohhh you gave me something to watch on the weekend.
I still can't get over how Idle's song disappointed me. They went from two of the hottest tracks of last year (3 if you count PopStars) to senorita. The ending and the senorita part need some work.
Hwasa wins February for me I guess.
I'm too lazy to make a top 10 list for February and probably haven't even listened to enough songs to make a top ten, but I do know that NEON by Yukika would be in there! And it should be in everyone's list tbh
Go stream!
Go stream!
That Soobin track is an odd one for sure but enjoyable all the same.
Presumably she's had her fill of the J-pop idol scene and wants a new challenge. After eight years in AKB, and I can well imagine that she'd be tired of that style of music and choreography. As you say, it's certainly a risk but at least Woollim is an established agency with some pedigree and they should give her a half-decent chance of success.
I haven't seen what Juri's fans are making of all this. I assume that some will throw their toys out of the pram but most will continue to support her. I may well be horribly wrong about that though.
Fair comment, although I do really like both those songs.

Seeing her this Friday in Chicago! Honestly never followed GG much, but her solo stuff has been pretty solid so I'm looking forward to it.Lips on Lips is getting a physical edition for Asian markets
It also comes with 20-page booklet, 2 photocard, and Teach You/Over My Skin as bonus tracks.
Yet again, Sunmi never disappoints. To those of you seeing her at the US dates, you're in for a great time, the show in Seoul was amazing :)
I am very new to this scene. All I can say is I love Red Velvet, think I like Twice, and really don't like Black Pink. I almost spent 20 euros on a mini Album CD from the store this weekend. How am I doing so far?

Love the R.Tee and Anda bop. I would love if R.Tee gets to work on a Blackpink track by himself.
The S.I.S song is ok, feels like fromis_9 22nd century girl with less budget.
You can check the OP for some classics recommendations or the highlights to see the things we have enjoyed this last couple of years.

I was referring in terms of singing/rapping
You are doing fine. Keep digging!

Check out Loona and it's sub-units, with individual members they already released more than 60 songs within 2 years.
That is funky setup they have. Reminds me of the Native Tongues or Odd Future or something where you have all these subgroups and solo artists putting out music.
Obviously you guys love them lol. I will listen more later, but Hi High is 100% legit.
Edit: also nice avatar Shizuka

The R.Tee and Anda MV
Can't really tell, personally, but would be cool if they are indeed there and all their releases are tied together somehow.
Which album was that sagawa? Red Velvet's album are generally pretty good aside from Rookie.
Anyways, you got familiar with the big 3. It's time to dig deeper. Some of my recent favorites: G-Idle, Sunmi, Mamamoo, EXID, CLC, Apink (which I used to hate), and K-pop queens BoA & Taeyeon.
If you have Spotify, you can branch off related artists and look up the Spotify K-pop playlists.
As a Blackjack im so happy she is returning. We need a Dara Solo YG Please!!!!!!
