I need someone tell explain to me how u have a japanese it girl and a japanese stan attractor in your idol group, and decide to wait like over half a year to release a japanese version of their debut single despite having performed the original version multiple times on TV in japan

 

Like i get the garam fiasco happened and thats why we never got that blue flame video, but half a year to re-record some lines on a japanese version? Cmon now :rip:

yeah I fail to understand that too, why is it impossible to release both versions at the same time? especially for bigger acts 

they release those songs only to give the final push to the songs or what? 

 

IVE releasing LD long after it took off, BP releasing The Album almost a year after the original :rip: NewJennies will release Ditto japanese version in a half year? even though it’s smashing now? 

 

kpop companies are able to record all of those covers for various award shows and festivals but cannot do that with their own songs :rip:

We need 200+ PAK for that record though... Is a long way to go :rip:

With Ditto getting by average 20-23 PAKs per day they need at least like around 2 weeks of nonstop PAKs to snatch Dynamite records. And we have to assume OMG didn't snatch Ditto on YTM and no major/viral releases that smashing on the realtime and daily charts. Bugs might be the biggest threat to end their PAKs streak with major bgs like NCT127 and TXT have comebacks by the end of this month.

It's time for Orbits to push the #FreeLoona movement.

Well they can't promote nor release an [0] mini album (OT11) with just 7 members? Anyways I read this isn't the final judgment it's just an injunction, I'm still surprised BBC hangs on so much to not finishing their contracts

Truth is that K-Pop is not as focused on the Japanese market as it was a decade ago. We had entire Japanese discographies back then, while we're lucky if we get a few original tracks now.

 

Labels now want to have appeal in the West as well, which requires a very different (often boring, imo) type of sound that doesn't match the vibrant and complex type of productions that Japan usually prefers.

not BP shading the entire kpop community with their live vocal comment in their new BPM episode :lmao:

The way As If It's Your Last didn't enter the Hot 100 because they released on a Thursday still makes me fume lol 

 

Anyways I'm really glad that NJ is seeing success in the States especially given that they have a SEA member (Vietnamese Hanni). The way both BP and NJ have SEA members, we love to see representation and hopefully more companies will follow suit, looking at you SM (girl groups wise) :jonny5:

 

Personally I didn't see the outfit as sexy but apparently it was a legit issue which I will not comment on but if anything I'm surprised Jennie in a straitjacket didn't also cause some flack. Moon Byul also had that concept last year. Unfortunately it looks like this is just another one of those things K-pop hasn't really understood as something that shouldn't be glamorized especially in the OMG mv. 

I think the most recent release we've had from someone in the US using this as a concept would be Bebe's I'm A Mess mv which was 2018 

 

I feel like when kpop fans talk about past scandals, the context is always lost. Lovesick Girls came out during a time where nurses where really vocal about being overworked due to the pandemic, and, more notably, during the Nth room scandal, in which one of the rooms was the "Female Nurses Room".

So it was a rather delicate time for that kind of subject. I think it was just unlucky for Blackpink cuz if the music video came out at literally any other time, the scene wouldn't have caused that fuss and would probably still be in the music video.

I also don't see anything major with the scene itself especially when compared to other stuff but I understand why it would be seen as something in bad taste at that specific time.

Because their Japanese world they perform their biggest hits but in Japanese. At least it’s not like JYP with Itzy they waited 3 years to debut Itzy in japan. A waste of time.

miss pharita already sending gifts to celebrities as "babymonster pharita" when she hasn't been (officially) revealed yet :rip: she should save her coins in case their debut flops

Baby Monster is such a cringe name, sounds like a Monster High group :biblio:

I think Vibe is a perfect collab. Jimin adds a layer of flavour and I feel like without him the song and dance would've been a bit one-sided? But ofc, no one in this thread is able to write something complimenting a bts-member.......

A lot of us love The astronaut and also some members like JK for some reason.

Agreed abt the shift towards western validation but these girls were literally being pushed on japanese television a month into their debut. It would've made more financial sense for them to just perform the japanese version from the get go while they had the most hype. I'm not even asking for an original japanese track (nor do I want one. for some reason most japanese tracks that kpop idols put out are so bland, choices included, but thats a whole other discussion).

 

Right now this release just feels like an after thought. Theyve had like what? 5 performances of fearless on TV in japan? Am I supposed to get hyped again because they're gonna sing it in Japanese now? :rip:

Loona without Miss Payola or OEC... they might as well just wrap it up with a disbandment soon. BBC would have a lot of nerve making OT7 re-record anything and thinking Orbits will eat it up :fan: But to freedom! Ready for them to re-debut under another company because its not looking hot... I imagine the rest of the girls will probably go back to court again this year to truly leave as a whole.

IplagiarizeU needs to release A Flower Bookmark Part 3 methinks!

 

It requires less effort and will make the haters back off on her original works for a bit and distract the plagiarism witch hunters :giraffe:

Yeah. YG will pull all the strings so Bp can remain the biggest gg. :bibliahh:YG will never have GG as big as BP.

VIBE is great so far only Jimin has a great song, sounds MJ- Bruno Mars esque, isn't VIBE YG streaming platform? :toofunny3:
