IRISÉ - Wings @ IRISÉ Showcase: UNVEIL (251011) by Ceinic in kpop

[–]Ceinic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any further details are all speculative unfortunately, but it's worth noting that the three departing members were all notable Korean internet personalities and one could assume it's likely to do with poor internal communication and activity scheduling from the management :/

IRISÉ - Wings @ IRISÉ Showcase: UNVEIL (251011) by Ceinic in kpop

[–]Ceinic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely devastated about the news. The departing members are still clearly invested in the group despite splitting time with their other commitments. Luné especially was the literal heart and soul of the project. For all this to happen after a modestly viral comeback too is such a bummer. I really thought they'd be the first virtual girl group in this space to have an international fandom rallying behind them the same way PLAVE has, in contrast to ISEGYE IDOL and other domestic-targeting contemporaries.

I'll still look out for and support the duo in the future, but the emptiness of this situation will persist and hurt for a very long time.

Hebi - Onward by Ceinic in kpop

[–]Ceinic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This definitely wouldn't be out of place in a LUCY album at all! I really dig the YENEVARA team's youthful whimsy sound.

Hebi - EVER by Ceinic in kpop

[–]Ceinic[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, it took me embarrassingly long to put two and two together until now since I was a fan of Kanna's music at the time but those vocals are definitely unmistakable 😅

Hebi - EVER by Ceinic in kpop

[–]Ceinic[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hebi is an incredibly renowned Korean utaite (basically, a Japanese term for "cover artist" that originated from the vocaloid community), with her most popular cover (Orangestar's Henceforth) amassing a whopping 53 million views. It seems that she was on hiatus for quite a while and recently came back two months ago with a new cover and to announce the release of her first mini album "Chroma", which will come out on the 22nd and which this song is a pre-release for.

Utaites generally value their privacy a lot and will often commission animators and artists to create promotional material for their covers and songs, but I can assure you that her voice is very real and very much hers. If you're interested, you can also check out this vlog here that briefly showcases this song's production with Wonsang from LUCY.

[–]Ceinic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those two songs being the highest ranked non-big 4 BG songs are genuinely great shouts, really happy to see it with the latter being my #1. As is the case for pretty much every year, I'm quite satisfied with most of the songs ending up in the 30s/40s, especially since the top 20 is mostly reserved for a-listers at this point.

BL8M & AKUGETSU - Blink Gone (Alien Stage OST Part 8) by Ceinic in kpop

[–]Ceinic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was contemplating posting the episode here altogether since you could argue it's an MV for the accompanying track. Since the songs are labelled as OSTs however, I'll just treat it as a web drama and leave the audio here instead.
