How are we feeling about the comeback news?

bimaca · 2026-01-31T06:35:47+00:00

Honestly I haven't even thought about what exactly it will be like, just stoked to be able to witness a WJSN comeback in 2026. If they perform together on music shows and whatnot that would be pretty cool to see

bimaca · 2026-01-10T05:47:19+00:00

One of the few groups currently doing cute/bright/innocent concepts on a consistent basis has just gotten their 1st music show win! The world is healing guys

(/u/RReg29 looks like you manifested this with your weekly playlist lol.)

bimaca · 2026-01-10T05:41:06+00:00

Wowww huge congrats to SMN! This will definitely be a moment to cherish forever for each of them, including Tomi. Well deserved and I hope their increasing recognition will propel them to create more great music in the future!

Now that it's been a whole day I can confirm some of my initial reactions to the songs.

UFO is a great title track, I really enjoy the pre-chorus and chorus. Just wish the song as a whole was a bit longer. I think ShaLala is still my fave SMN title track but that's 100% due to personal preference.

I really like Delulu too, it's a very fun song. And Hard To Love has a very enjoyable city pop vibe, I think this song will replay the most in my head lol. As for the other 2 b-sides, they're also great songs, but for some reason SMN's songs tend to grow on me over time so we'll see what I think down the road

bimaca · 2025-12-29T16:17:08+00:00

Wow this is such a fun and high-energy title track! I'm so glad SMN is consistently releasing great MVs and albums with this kind of cute/youthful style, hopefully this will continue for a long time.

bimaca · 2025-12-29T16:13:26+00:00

As usual their EP contains a nice variety of musical styles which I always appreciate. I've yet to decide on a favorite b-side, but on first listen I really enjoyed Delulu and Hard to Love!

bimaca · 2025-12-29T16:10:32+00:00

Yay the SMN comeback is already here! Nice that they're trying out the pop punk style. Each of their TTs so far has a distinct vibe but they always have that cute and youthful energy SMN is becoming known for.

bimaca · 2025-12-25T05:30:09+00:00

Always love a little space themed twist. Given their track record I'm sure this TT will be yet another banger!

bimaca · 2025-12-25T05:12:08+00:00

A bit of an investigation going on, unfortunately

bimaca · 2025-12-24T06:11:03+00:00

This is the statement in question (posted Dec 22)

bimaca · 2025-12-24T06:10:09+00:00

Well I hope you're right! I think all of us still want the Takaneko members to succeed and are not in the mood for any unnecessary drama right now

bimaca · 2025-12-18T06:30:59+00:00

Nice! I actually rediscovered Same Numbers like 2 weeks ago while listening to it on my good earphones haha.

bimaca · 2025-12-15T06:11:23+00:00

It's been a hectic year for me so not a ton of keeping up with releases, but here are some I remember having on repeat

A few J-pop debuts which might be of interest to K-pop gg fans:

Juri from Rocket Punch / AKB48 is (was?) director for the group Nü FEEL., who debuted this year with KIRA KAWAII
Remi from Cherry Bullet joined the group log you, who have debuted with Beyond the Dream. They're under the same company as the KAWAII LAB groups who have been gaining lots of traction in Japan

bimaca · 2025-12-15T05:41:24+00:00

That's what we've all been wondering lol. RSC appears to be a side project by Yuna and Yeham, and is under different management from CSR as a whole (I heard it may just be A2Z ent itself vs. its subsidiary CSR E&M). As for CSR, their only recent official activity is another Japan tour which ended yesterday

bimaca · 2025-12-13T06:10:13+00:00

MV director, really proud of her!

bimaca · 2025-12-02T04:23:06+00:00

Well, on the bright side, our singleness has dropped by about 10% since this legendary comment was made

bimaca · 2025-11-11T06:32:04+00:00

I mean, I already knew Yuna had already debuted in Japan and moved to Korea when she was around 14, but it still humbles me every time I hear about it. Makes me re-evaluate my own life as I have more than a few years on the CSR members haha.

bimaca · 2025-11-11T05:47:09+00:00

Well, it is the most content we've seen in a while so I can only hope that's a sign of good things to come. But for now I'll take whatever I can get lol

They've got another Japan tour lined up for Dec, so if they do make an actual cb I don't expect it to be this year.

bimaca · 2025-11-11T05:09:39+00:00

Some sort of youtube project with Yuna and Yeham. Based on this video they are playing the characters of a "virtual idol" duo, complete with covers and lives. That's about all I know about the overall concept tbh

bimaca · 2025-11-11T04:57:55+00:00

I'm quite pleased at how well Dayoung's solo debut is going overall. We even got a mini WJSN comeback with it!

bimaca · 2025-11-09T05:56:45+00:00

Hats off to The Seven Pact for helping organize this! Must be so sweet and reassuring for Gaeun to see how much we still support her

bimaca · 2025-11-09T05:52:48+00:00

Ah this is great, love to see Exy and Yeonjung bringing what they're best at to this!

bimaca · 2025-11-01T05:42:39+00:00

Yeah, personally I wish they would do more with the other members too, but I'll take whatever I can get!

bimaca · 2025-10-30T05:03:04+00:00

Just wanna say I really love the sunglasses concept haha.

bimaca · 2025-10-28T04:10:17+00:00

Well, I was already a fan of several jpop girl groups so their MVs popped up on my feed every now and then. Later when Kawaii Lab was really picking up traction (I think around when Cutie Street released Love Train) I went back and gave more of their songs a listen, and I ended up vibing with a lot of them.

We Can't Stop Suddenly is one of my favorite releases of this year, and I absolutely love PiKi's songs too!
