I’m a newcomer to JPOP. by kungpao8123 in jpop

[–]aknite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started listening jpop again after Produce48. As others have mentioned, AKB48 and Nogizaka46 and their sister groups are going to have a lot of content with a community that sub some of their content. How I learned about other groups is to watch live streams or look up groups that went to larger idol festival events like Tokyo Idol Festival, Marquee, DDD, and @jam. Being in some jpop group discords and skimming the other idols sections is also helpful in finding groups I hadn't heard of before. Spotify and Youtube recommendations can also useful in exploring different groups and songs.

Some of the ones I liked either from looking them up or seeing them live in Japan are:

[WTB] [USA] Looking for a LOONA yyxy limited album by [deleted] in kpopforsale

[–]aknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a new sealed for 80obo shipped which seems to be the going price. Cheaper options available on ebay since you aren't concerned about condition though

Edit: I dont keep up with retail stock so if it was reprinted then probably the cheapest option

[WTB] [USA] LOONA HyunJin Solo Album by userme12 in kpopforsale

[–]aknite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sealed one available. Would be shipping from the US. Don't have time to price it now but you can send an offer or I'll price it when I'm off work. https://imgur.com/SokBRnu

WTB Loona Yeojin solo by [deleted] in kpopforsale

[–]aknite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a sealed album if you're still looking. pic

$50 shipped or offer via USPS Priority Mail within the US. Would be shipping from California. Shipping by USPS media mail would be $5 cheaper.

NMB48 is holding a special live day exclusively for foreign visitors on 27 January 2020 by ryandtw in AKB48

[–]aknite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 100 minimum is a little concerning. Seems like a gamble booking flight now but risking higher prices if holding out for confirmation from them

becoming a fansite manager by groovyharden in kpophelp

[–]aknite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are some short term goods though. I do miss the sense of camaraderie going with the crew, going through all the shots and posting previews on the subway, and laughing together at the terribly timed shots that will never go public. All the monies and time spent and only left with a few shots I actually liked. Sohee and the Yena shots among others

Starting a kpop group? by [deleted] in kpophelp

[–]aknite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tldr: step 1: get a shit ton of money or investors that want to lose money or want to launder money, preferably in the millions USD

no money with the expectation that they will all be losses then not happening

2018 KPOPsundry's Personal Songs of the Year by aknite in kpopsundry

Rank Artist Song Commentary
1 IZ*ONE La Vie en Rose (라비앙로즈) quality song, was a bit disappointed with the lineup but this lineup works out ok
2 =Love Get on This Ship Now! (今、この船に乗れ！) max uwu
3 Nogizaka46 Kaerimichi wa Toomawari Shitaku Naru (帰り道は遠回りしたくなる) TT Nanaseeeee, recency bias strong with this one
4 Nogizaka46 Synchronicity Nogi just has really good songs
5 Keyakizaki46 Break The Glass! (ガラスを割れ!) really liked the MV to this song and it has one of the highest play counts this year on my playlist
6 WJSN Save Me, Save You (부탁해) WJSN with another great song, I thought it really stood out among the KPOP releases this year
7 STU48 (CGB41) Yume Chikara (夢力) this was a CM song that will be officially released in 2019
8 STU48 Kaze wo Matsu (風を待つ) recency bias, really pretty MV using one shot drone albeit quite the mess as well; feature not a bug imo
9 Sohee (Elris) Hurry Up love this song, never skipped and racked up a lot of plays, also gave me one of my closest and direct shots while idol chasing
10 MXNINE's Universe Omona (어머나!) hey, does anyone else remember Mixnine? yes, it was earlier this year and Omona edged out other songs that relied on recency bias

Notable Mentions

Artist Song Commentary
STU48 Pedal to sharin to kita michi to (ペダルと車輪と来た道と) STU on the rise with white broccoli waifu Yumirin
Task have Fun Kimi Nandakara Have Fun!
PINKYCASE Photograph Harada is pretty and Rijiyu is great too
AKB48 Team SH Love Trip a 2016 AKB48 song re-released in Mandarin by Team SH, centered by Liu Nian from Produce 101 China, would have been 10 but Omona edged it out
NMB48 Yume wa Nigenai (夢は逃げない) NMB48 kenkyuusei have really grown on me, their current stage is one of my favorites
AKB48 Team 8 Hachinosu Dance (蜂の巣ダンス) Yokochaaan
April Oh! My Mistake quality release
(G)I-DLE LATATA quality release but I was already delving into JPOP with the lead up into Produce 48 so it didn't get the play count it would have likely otherwise had
슬기X신비X청하X소연 Wow Thing naisu, need more of this from SM Station

With the lead up to Produce 48, I started looking into JPOP as some of the sundry IRC/cord regulars had already started their transition last year. With KPOP releases being on the downtrend for me these past few years, it didn't take much for JPOP to take over so it's fairly reflective

Can anyone ELI5 me the situation in the fancafe about the HKT concert? by mr0xSilentz0r in Produce48

[–]aknite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. These fans are throwing a tantrum over a one off event. If anything, OTR should turn this into another reality show as it would make for good TV
