The ZE:A5 mini EP is really solid. Or maybe I just think so because I'm an easy sell on all things Brave Brothers.

lol @ hyuna schilling for toyota
i'm gonna ask this from a position of ignorance, so please forgive me, but is there any ... consternation at all for hyuna repping for a japanese automaker?
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 26 March 2013 12:05 (eleven years ago) link
No idea about Hyuna, but wasn't 4minute's last Japanese single used in an Audi commercial?

But also is this supposed to be parodying the colonial "go abroad and acceptance will be handed to you if you only make a token effort" fantasy, or not?

A round up of recent stuff:
EvoL - Get Up is still excellent</a>
Heo Young Saeng - The Art of Seduction is simultaneously a business-as-usual Kpop song commodifying mental illness for the entertainment of the audience (now the moonlight is hitting just right and I'm crazy in love with you, etc etc) and a song about himself, from the perspective of his stalker fan. So now Heo Young Saeng is riling up the fanbase and showing the terrifying obsessiveness that results from that at the same time. Poor guy.
GDragon is making trap music now, and we are waiting for the video before we decide whether we like it or not. Will it be as good as Leif? The video previews do look incredibly campy.

Also, here's an indie release:

― Roz, Monday, 1 April 2013 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
sounds more dubstep than trap to me idk
― 乒乓, Monday, 1 April 2013 20:47 (eleven years ago) link
I was thinking about second definition of "trap" on urban dictionary, and about the transgender rap scene in NYC, when I wrote that, haha. It sounds like he's been listening to Le1f - Wut a lot. Also Roz can back me up that GD's a confirmed Le1f and Zebra Katz fan. So maybe not "trap music" but kind of coming from that place...
Oh, and here's the high-fashion connection: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/15/fashion/zebra-katz-you-have-to-know-the-context.html

The C-Clown mini is great and everything I ever wanted from Infinite H - at this moment, my favorite EP of the year.

This is being marketed as a rap duo sub-unit ala Infinite H, but is IN FACT an album of mostly remixes of previously released U-Kiss songs with only a couple new tracks ft. the English-fluent members. Everything is addictively (over)produced, as per Brave Brothers tradition. There's lots of triumphant horns and overwhelmed-by-happiness singing. As a Brave Brothers fangirl, I am here for this 100% even knowing it's all a trick of the light.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Monday, 22 April 2013 05:25 (eleven years ago) link
Aaaand I'm over it. Even for a Brave Brothers album I think this is some kind of new personal record.

YooJiAe - Delight is out and has a really Jpopish vibe. Actually, between the school uniform, the outdoor setting, the hazy lighting, the lack of crazy hair colors, and... the young age of the performer, >__>, this looks more like a Japanese MV (PV?) than a Korean one.

Metal/mental.. here's a profile of the SM songwriter who made the song http://www.berklee.edu/news/4742/alumni-profile-kenzie-yeonjung-kim-99
4minute: Good beat, vocals lacking. Why? Because it apes some surface qualities of their first singles it misses the cruical points: The girls have to hit hard, not only the beat. They have to get the chance for some powerful belts, raps, shouts. Remember Huh? This should've been much better.

it's a shinee song alright, despite the metal guitars
