Marilena shock!
Ok, maybe you won’t believe what you are going to read. Yesterday I was so shocked I got my friends worry. And the reason? KAT-TUN. Yes, you read it right.
I love their music very much. You know that. But after the wonderful Rescue they give us singles like the ok Love yourself, mediocre Going! And they include the bad D-motion. Ok, little by little I got used to the autotune and I have caught myself enjoying D-motion very much once. It’s not just the kind of song for which I’ll say “ah I want to listen to that right now”.
But it was ok. They gave us the amazing Νο more pain, with a seemingly great video and Tat-chan sang Rabbit or Wolf. So I though that the KT I love are always there. I didn’t mind the fact that I wasn’t so excited about Kame’s Sweet and Promise Song. And then I heard 55 seconds from Right Now and HELLO. And it was kpop. Better than usual kpop for my friends but still it was kpop. And I was horrified. Are my fears getting real? Is it the only thing that sells these days? But, if I wanted to listen to kpop I would listen to Korean artists! And they are cheaper! Should I buy 2 Korean albums and say it’s KT?
I listened to HELLO 3 times and I still can’t find one good thing to it. I don’t like the music or the vocals and I can mostly make out Kame’s voice, which does nothing to me what’s more. It’s worse than D-motion. Can you believe that I’d rather listen to RnB than this kind of songs? Yes, I’ve come that far.
And now I feel like I have to take a step back from everything. KAT-TUN is just an idol group. The fact that I loved their music that much was only incidental. I don’t know if I want to listen to their album now, but I guess I will and that I’ll buy it sometime. I said some pretty nasty things about them and Korean music last night. I felt betrayed and I even insulted them. Does that make me a bad fan when it’s all the love I had for them that made me react that way? Yes, past tense. How am I supposed to react to betrayal? Betrayal kills the love in a second. I still hope I will get it back. I will be waiting for Jin to get back. I know he can’t change much and that KT can go on without him. They know how to survive. But I need his touch. I trust his taste in music and I love his haughty character. Maybe he can step up to those who give songs to KT. Or so I wish…
*sigh* I can’t believe that 4 and a half minutes of music can get me in such a shock. And Jin can’t be my psychological rescue boat. What should I do? Listen to HELLO as many times as I need in order to get used to it? Forget KT already? Just wait to hear more songs with the fear of getting even more disappointed? Most of all, I don’t want to change for their sake. I need them to give me strength and hold me still, not take me wherever they want. Heee… with the exception of their home country.
So… yeap. Ok. I think I calmed down. Enough with my fandom stories… But even politics suck these days. At least my studies seem to go fine. Rejoice Marilena! At least you had all those lovely memories with KT and all the lovely songs they sang up until now.
EDIT: the 4th time I listened to Hello was better. But it still left me empty as a song... ah well...
