안녕! Hello!
Welcome to the world of K-pop and other Korean stuff 
I kinda wanted to share my obsession with you, hope you won't mind it^^
ㅎㅅㅎ
Don't be a stranger!
I'll be delighted if you comment here, so we can discuss our favourite songs, shows, etc
As I promised in my last post, here goes the list of the songs I've been listening to past month (and a bit more)^^
1. GOT7 - "If You Do" (+ whole "Mad" album)
Since GOT7 is, with BTS, my favourite K-pop group, it's only natural that I did listen to them this whole month. Compared to their last comeback, "Just right" in July which was bubbly and colorful, this time guys became "Mad " at their girlfriend with darker concept. Thematically, those songs are probably complete opposites. "Just right" talked how the girl shouldn't change anything about herself, that she's "just right", while in "If You Do" boys are rebelling against bossy girl in relationship and wishing they can go back to the time they were happy.
I don't know much about music so I cannot explain exactly which genre is or how that bridge sounded awesome (but now that I googled what bridge is, it really is awesome xD Lily M. has done great job in this spoken bridge), but I can say that I definitely love the song, especially "Every day, every night, Feel like a fool, You gotta now" and "Can we go back to the way we were"~
Out of the other songs from the album, I wouldn't call any of them powerful, but I cannot really describe them (suck at musical terms >.<). And I must say I really like rap parts in this album, I definitely can hear the improvement, both rappers' and vocalists'.
In short, great song ,amazing acting, awesome album^^ But then again I'm quite biased on this one xD
2. DAY6 - "Congratulations" (+ the rest of the album "The Day")
JYP's first ever male band has debuted after probably something like 2 years or so of telling they will debut. At the same time I'm sad and happy they didn't get the promotion as other groups, but to be honest, music shows just do not have proper equipment for playing live instruments. Also, I'm really glad most of their album is work of members themselves.
"Congratulations" is amazing in terms of melody, vocals and music video. I guess it would be considered rock, but again, I know nothing about that. Whole album is really awesome and definitely if I had to choose the title track of it, I would choose "Congratulations", as it is really catchy.
3. Ailee - "Mind Your Own Business"
One of the best female vocals in K-pop has yet once again has proved her title. It was really unfortunate that she injured her leg and couldn't dance during her performances, but she still managed to take the trophy on "Show Champion". When I heard song, I have to be honest, it didn't really stick out to me, but as I listened it for second time, I guess I got a better insight in the song and now I love it.
4. TWICE - "Like Ohh Ahh"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rtV5esQT6I
Yet another JYP group on my list what can I do, I'm JYP stan xD These girls just debuted October 19th, but are already slaying, as they have a bit over 7 milion views as I'm writing this and they have been nominated for 1st place on multiple shows. Song is good, but I feel like it could have been even better. Though, after few listenings I found myself unconsciously humming the song
I personally hadn't been watching the reality show "Sixteen" where the 9 current members were chosen among in total 16 contestants, but those who had watched it said they didn't show their full potential in this song, which is understandable as they just debuted and they definitely need time to showcase their talent. Their popularity is visible in current ongoing MAMA voting where they are currently in lead for Best New Female artist with 33,3% (second are GFriend with 27,2% of the votes).
5. Monsta X - "Rush" and "Hero"
Monsta X is a group with powerful hip hop feel. I would probably listen to them a lot more if I hadn't decided I do not want to get to know any other group in fear of having another group I really really like xD Two are too much for me
Whenever I listen to those songs I get a strong desire to dance because I really like the hip hop beats of both of them^^
Other songs I feel lazy writing full description for:
Jessi - "Ssenunni" - love how powerful is this song and love her rapping
iKON - "My Type", "Airplane", "Rhythm Ta" - YG artist are not really my cup of tea, same goes for iKON, but I still do listen their songs from time to time
Taeyeon - "I" - amazing vocals,awesome video, beautiful song
Planet Shiver - Rainbow - least popular song on my list, but it's so good~
One Dream One Korea - a bunch of amazing and famous singers gathered for this project
So, this was my list for this October! I hope I'll manage some time at the start of December for post similar to this~
Anyways, what do you say about these songs? What are your picks for this month/two months?~^^
Oh yeah, I'm back! I know I haven't been around here for ages and I'm so sorry (mianhae)>.<
Summer has ended (long time ago) but it left behind some nice songs. So I decided to make a list of all K-pop songs that I've been listening throughout this summer. Also, at the very end will be Japanese releases because I think you're more interested in those, so they'll be easy to find^^
f(x) - Rum Pum Pum
I'll start off this list with girls - f(x)'s Rum Pum Pum or what is the Korean title saying - First wisdom tooth. Really nice song, though not my favourite. I must say I kinda expected more than this, but don't get me wrong, I like "Rum Pum Pum", I ahd it on replay most of the summer :)
Apink - NoNoNo
I just recently (couple of months ago) found out about these girls, when one of them - Nauen, got married to Taemin of SHINee (not really married, but in TV programe "We got married"). I really like their concept - cute and pretty^^ And this song is cute, catchy and fun to dance to :)
Henry - 1-4-3 (I Love You)
I have never knew that 143 stands for "I love you", because of number of letters in each word - and I was confused why 143 is the title of the song. But now I understand everything - even why is 486 also "i love you" but in Korean
Henry's second song, a bit more cheerful than the "Trap" but with kinda same concept. Really, really like this song. It's on my replay even now^^
B.A.P. - Hurricane/Badman
B.A.P were back again - no wonder, I don't think they ever had enough time to rest - with Coffee shop, Hurricane and Badman MVs from their Badman Album. I already mentioned Coffee shop in post below or below below, I'm not sure xD^^ All three of the songs are quite different - Coffe shop being really nice, slow song, Hurricane being funky, cheerful song and Badman being "dark" and cool song^^
Teen Top - Rocking
Catchy, kinda techno (?) song. That one dance step that looks extra cool and complicated, I did not even want to try to repeat that, even some of the members got hurt doing it :/
Crayon Pop -Bar Bar Bar
This song became real hit in Korea. They were saying it's going to become new "Gangnam style" and I'm still waiting xD
At first, I didn't really liked the song, but when I watched it few times, it stucked in my head. Theye even made "global version" which is kinda similar to "Gangnam style", but I still think the original one is better^^
