It's ... exactly as expected. Watching the new MVs, I felt all the same gleeful shrieks and frustrated groans (hair?!? styling?!) coming back.

As if nothing had ever changed (though I guess that shows how much it has?).

I compare this song's very Western EDM stylings to previous H!P EDM takes (which were more overtly Jpop), particularly the delightfully weirdass KimiSae.Relevant to our recent discussions as to the difference between the markets in composition ( Read more... )

I know this was released in 2014, but their new song is a ballad so whatever, and this is like some BEG level shit, but also with brilliant choreography/camerawork synergy. What with Mr. Mr. and EXO's Call Me Baby, I approve of this movement towards more of this. Yeah, force those music shows to not have the Worst camerawork ever ( Read more... )

This is FANTASTIC. So much disruption of the already funky disco rhythms, as well as a deliciously dissonant pre-chorus.

The latest in objective idol value, usually based on tax records, but also sometimes out of fucking nowhere.

I started with this tumblr post. "JAGOB FANSUB" is a facebook page, and posted that image, no source. Further search of the topic turned up this topic, which contains some useful hearsay as to the wages in the early days before they hit it ( Read more... )

This is the most in-depth video explaining Royal Road I've ever seen. They actually go into the music theory of why it's so compelling.

The channel in general is excellent.

For new readers, I compiled some other Royal Road videos here. We also talked about it in the comments here.

Attempted Kara's Revolution this week, and wow, I am rather harsh with what I consider to be mediocre for SNSD, because this was bad. Very very bad. So bad. The only song worth anything was Mister, which just gets better the more I hear it. (in full quality, hearing all of the depth of the master ( Read more... )
