AKB is the ultimate survival show - a whole collective of idols at the mercy of yearly fan votes, etc. etc... but it's not an actual show, no.

What's with everyone at YG copying BEP recently, by the way? But this is just on the right side of stupid fun:

Hmm looks like GD has a composing credit on that one, maybe that's why I like it *shrug emoji*
Really nice remix of Hot Pink (except for the end) at the SBS end of year show, by the way. I enjoyed the remix of 'Hero' (Monta X) too, even SBS's techical issues couldn't duck with it. Remixes were enjoyable in greneral, I hope some of 'em show up somewhere else in a higher quality format.

SBS gayo managed to fuck up the audio in whole new ways. Also the year end shows should just have collab stages or something. More killer less filler. Enjoyed IU finally performing Twenty-three on TV, though.

I'm nominating the WG album for the ILM EOY poll now.. seems to me like the most obvious shot at a k-pop album charting (showed up on some publication lists) but since I'm the one nominating it on the last day, maybe not?

f(x) has a slightly higher chance I think - seemed to notice quite a few non-kpop thread ilxors raving about 4 Walls on Twitter. Plus they've placed before.

Was January 2 the last day??? Damn

Will stand behind Reboot tho, good album
Since it's the new year though... is it time to start a new thread? Because 2016 is off to a more kickin start than 2015

Also since I came around on Hot Pink... have an acoustic version:

Local college radio station is doing top 10 of 2015 lists... tuned in to the Kpop list tonight, from #6 the order went
#6 Four Walls - f(x)#5 I Feel You - Wonder Girls#4 Catch Me if You Can - Girls Generation #3 I - Taeyeon#2 Don't Be Shy - Primary ft. Choa, Iron#1 Bang Bang Bang - Big Bang
And I gotta say, CMIYC and Bangx3 improve a LOT when they're blasted over car speakers

wow, that was a real experience getting a year's worth of k-pop over several (and i do mean several) hours.
I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with most every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
K-pop's eccentricities make it VERY difficult for a non-speaker to search for songs, especially amongst an artist base that appears to have been named on twitter and is more or less ungoogleable. That said, 130+ tracks, most all from this year! Enjoy!

I'd thought about nominating D.Holic - Chewy for the ILM tracks but didn't get around to it.

I'd have to think about my top 20... probably the Jun Areia remix of 9 Muses' Sleepless Night would be on it: https://youtu.be/Bzhc1UggIO8

Maybe also Lim Kim Stay Ever... I can't remember if we talked about it in this thread or not. https://youtu.be/fjXeup1ZbX0

Didn't realize miss A and Baek A Yeon had done so well, good on them though.

Not that there's any immediate danger of students getting hold of guns in Korea.
