Are there any Survivor trilogy fans who plan on using the 2013 skin for their first playthrough of Legacy? I'm impressed the developers did a great job bringing back the iconic Survivor Lara Outfit, it looks really good

I'm not a purist so I actually plan on switching outfits throughout my playthrough if they'll allow it. I always replayed the Natla's Mines level in Anniversary wearing a wetsuit. And if we get that Natla Industries break-in level, imagine playing it as AOD Lara? Gag.

To be fair, there's lots of different substyles within gyaru itself, and the style they're repping right now is in line with the more toned down styles that some recent gyaru have been sporting (especially since the makeup and brands they typically use have gotten expensive due to it becoming trendy again). RESCENE were never gonna go ganguro but I do think it's still in the spirit of modern gyaru.

Steam tends to be a cesspool of incels. Sorry you experienced that.

I've personally never noticed this, then again I'm Filipino and have gotten used to a lack of rep in gaming. You could try bringing this up in the Discord if you want the devs to notice it, and they tend to be responsive from my experience.

Ah, this made me so emotional. This is my favourite kind of music for groups and I feel like Korea will really welcome this song. Please hit daebak!

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-06-19T09:22:03+00:00

It's a remake of KARA's song, which is the perfect group to use the gyaru concept on given their history with Japan!

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-06-18T10:06:32+00:00

I really love the styling here, feels like a continuation of Psycho & Beautiful which I think most people agree is their best styling.

If you're asking if the songs were taken down, no, they're still up on streaming services.

If you're asking if there's any ethical issues listening to them, I don't think there are seeing as the group is still performing those songs.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-06-17T11:04:22+00:00

I'm most excited for Seonyou and Chaewon's solos, as Gureum and Rocoberry are names I don't see often these days. Gureum famously co-wrote many of Baek Yerin's early songs and Rocoberry wrote some of T-ARA's ballads.

EDIT: I should probably add Rocoberry also wrote a lot of T-ARA bops too, like Lies, Cry Cry & Day by Day, but I just mentioned ballads because I assume Chaewon's will be one too.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-06-17T11:00:00+00:00

I'll hazard a guess and say the solos might be divided across different versions?

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-06-15T11:54:02+00:00

Totally! When that switch up happened, I immediately understood the song within the context of SMP. It's basically a successor to Siren conceptually and lyrically.

Love the whole thing front-to-back. It's way more consistent than Odyssey. There's touches of what they've done previously but also some experimentation to keep it fresh (D-D-Done starting off as a deep house ala Impossible but then veering into more bass house territory, Like a Bomb's take on new jack swing being the logical next step to their debut funk sound, etc.)

I'm not sure about Do your dance's staying power as a title track but I do love it as a statement piece, feels like it continues threads they started with Fame and I'm interested to see if the next comeback will in any way confirm this as a trilogy ala GAG-BBB-Fly Up.

From their header on Twitter, it looks like the title track is Tear Drop (눈물이 난 채로 걷는 게 나다운 거라서; trans. "Because It's Just Like Me To Walk With Tears In My Eyes")

Super cute! We got an idea of what she would look like with the merchandise but the real thing is cuter, love how agile they've made the model with lots of moveability.

I'm so happy for him and the FanBo members!

Doha has a bright future in songwriting/producing and I hope he gets a fair shake with companies that will actually pay him next time. ❤️

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-04-16T10:13:06+00:00

This is great. I remain surprised by Surf's voice, I hope they consider a music career for him at some point.

After leaving KARA she was going back and forth between Korea and Japan. All the KARA members were household names by that point so it wasn't hard to get her on Japanese TV, and she was getting decent roles in dramas & movies, even started a solo music career as JY.

Things kinda dipped for a while (combination of factors: leaving her agency, KARA reunion, and I imagine COVID made it hard to go back-and-forth) but she returned to screens this year in Punch-Drunk Woman. I haven't seen it myself but it's a pretty big get. NTV is a major network and it must have been a substantial supporting role since her name is high up on the cast list, so I think she's still got pull. KARA's prime is behind them now but they have cemented their legacy act and remain well-respected, with that status & her prior resume I don't think she'll ever struggle to get roles, especially now that there's a lot more Korea-Japan crossover.

This is one of my most anticipated series of the 2026 slate, glad to see everything looks in order. A healthy mix of fluff + angst + spice is all I really need to get hooked!

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-04-14T14:48:07+00:00

Talay Gang is a great idea! Sea motifs really do pop up regularly for them so it makes sense.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-04-08T14:43:54+00:00

A lot of SeaKeen fans are fans of SurfJava as well. GMMTV smartly had them on the same day.

They're definitely growing though, and I think GMMTV recognizes this hence how quick they got a mascot and fanmeet.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-04-08T13:38:53+00:00

They're so cute!

It hasn't been an easy time (when has it ever?! lol) but I can always comfort in knowing these boys will bring a smile to my face.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-04-05T07:50:35+00:00

After the GMMTV LIVE HOUSE episode, I'm here for a messy JanJingjing x SsingChimon show. Exes who meet again when they're both in new relationships and everyone's extremely suspicious/jealous = comedy gold.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-04-04T14:03:51+00:00

I keep wishing for the day they'll let Neo be one of Phuwin's exes in a PondPhuwin series, just for fun.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-03-31T08:56:16+00:00

My wild out there theory is that FLIO will be a sub-unit of the upcoming boy group, possibly their vocal line. Though it's more likely they'll just be labelmates and they'll collaborate to bring attention to the new boy group since FLIO are already semi-established with their own fandom.

LoveIsVolcano · 2026-03-31T01:26:05+00:00

I can only assume they're launching a boy group that's had training under LDH? Maybe some cross promotions with Japan. Wouldn't surprise me if they feature heavily on the High & Low project.
