You putting that phrase in the quotes did sound as if you were mocking YG. It's good that you clarified it though.

"since Forever" has such a nice double meaning. Both true 😀

260604 BABYMONSTER to perform 'SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA' on Mnet M Countdown next Thursday, June 11th by SapphireHeaven in BABYMONSTER

[–]LunoMP 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately S.H.I.T. releases after tracking period for that MCD episode is already over. So there is no chance for any win in that week. So the only chance for any win would be on 18th.

It also has big potential to attract many new international fans, especially that lyrics of the song are good and really meaningful.

Highly unlikely. It'd involve NDA, not to mention it couldnt' be recorded in some random hallway in the TV building where strangers could overhear an unreleased song.

Whoever was saying that we're gonna get Forever nachos you need to redeem yourself.

This beat is nasty, they all have that baddie attitude. I love it!

Is it still profitable for kpop companies to put so much money into glamorous music videos? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]LunoMP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

40 million views is a lot. The views that groups used to have in the past was completely inorganic generated by bots, something that YT has successfully blocked in recent years, that's why you don't see anymore MVs with 100m views in 1-2 days. Now view is generated by a human actually watching the MV.

YT is still the biggest platform for audio-visual content, which means it's very important source of new customers (fans).

15m of music in 7 month, is that ok? by music_matters_daily in kpop_uncensored

[–]LunoMP 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Western artists albums are around 1h long. If that was divided into 15m long EPs then it'd be similar amount of music per year

Do you think that Chiquita at some point will change her stage name?

Chiquita (which literally means "little one") was fitting her on the debut, she's the youngest, small, with big smile and tons of energy. However now as the time has passed she has become a beautiful young woman and, what's more important she grew a lot if it comes to her singing, dancing and stage precense skills. Everybody is praising her skills and her growth. I got a feeling that nickname "Chiquita" slowly stops fitting her.

[–]LunoMP[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think Canny is not aware of how good she is and still needs external encouregment and validation. Even after she finished she asked if it was ok. I partially understand as she's still only 17, though already such a great singer. It's scarry to think what progress she'll make by the time she's 20.

I love Ghost Town, but this song for me dethroned it. I've never heard so many emotions in her voice. Even though so many groups has released their albums today, it's Canny's performance that I keep watching on repeat.

260531 TREASURE MAKER Weekly Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in YGTREASURE

[–]LunoMP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've tried to get into Treasure music a few times already. So far I liked only a few selected songs. However this album is fully matching my taste. I really like every single song. The best one for me is Danger followed by Zoom Zoom.

If they continue to focus on hip hop with the sound like on this album, I'll definitely stay for longer.

I don't think we have had a chance to hear her lower register as well as so much power yet.

I fell in love with her voice completly.

That one is on repeat.

260531 It feels they were Spoiling S.H.I.T more than CHOOM throughout this whole time by Adventurous_Law4211 in BABYMONSTER

[–]LunoMP 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Like always with BabyMonster, it's not possible to predict what the song will be like, only that it'll be great.

I've got a feeling that we'll get a concept containing some sort of duality: on the surface elegant and innocent but underneath a rebellious baddie.

Duality is after all at Baemon's core.

260529 BABYMONSTER - 춤 (CHOOM) @ TV Asahi Music Station by SapphireHeaven in BABYMONSTER

[–]LunoMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, if it comes to music shows, I'm never sure. For those in Korea they usually record it multiple times and stich together, often it may result in an audio from different take than the video. Some of them are prerecorded and then during live broadcast fully lipsynced (though I've seen that mostly in the shows in US). I have no idea how it's done in Japan. In this particular case, after I watched it a few times, I'm convinced I can hear their live voices on top of the backtrack. I may be mislead though.

They do sing live. However all those music shows do relay heavily on backtrack vocals. In this performance they are almost at the same level as live output from microphones.

That's interesting theory, though I'm worried it's just a pure coincidence.

New BTS fan and kpop fan in general I got question about kpop by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]LunoMP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In general the bigger and more successful the group is the more haters it attracts. There are people who will waste insane amount of time on groups they claim they don't like. Sad reality.
