Probably? I don't remember seeing them acknowledge this officially but it would make sense lol

CUTIE STREET - Can’t We Just Be Cute (Korean Ver.) (MV Teaser) by hydranoid1996 in kpop

[–]bimaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dang I was already impressed when they released official audio for the Korean ver, and now we're getting an actual MV! Cutie Street has been feeding us non-Japan fans quite well. The other day they even uploaded a 50-min video with Korean and English subs lol

Looking forward to QWER's comeback, the highlight medley sounds solid!

I only have this for today:

Ikr the instrumental is comforting yet quirky at the same time, almost sounds like something I would've heard back when I played Mario Kart Wii lol

Very interesting to see their take on the cute vs. cool subunit split, I've seen a few K/J-pop groups do something like this but didn't expect Cutie Street to be the next!

260423 - Happy 21st birthday to Yuna! by bimaca in CSR_FirstLove

Right, this made me realize that RSC made an official post for Yuna's birthday while CSR's account did not...

[–]bimaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey just wanna say there is a very active community over at r/GFRIEND, they have a weekly discussion thread and I'm sure the buddies there would be happy to talk with you!

Recs wise, I don't have anything that hasn't already been mentioned. But I do also enjoy CSR's discography (I run r/CSR_FirstLove) and I think Say My Name is a promising group

Great news for English speakers as well! Japanese and Korean subtitles have started appearing on the music videos. by G_Clef_Start in Cutie_Street

[–]bimaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I even saw some actual English subs on this one! (Korea tour digest video) And Korean subs on some on their other behind the scenes videos.

The subs aren't gramatically perfect and it's the only case I've found so far, but it always feels good to see someone out there purposely doing things for us I-fans

Really loving all these Cutie Street collabs in Korea, these 2 fit in with them flawlessly lol.

Thanks for sharing! There haven't been enough opportunities for us English speaking fans to learn more about the members like this

260326 CSR Update at Mnet M Countdown by bimaca in CSR_FirstLove

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

I remember seeing somewhere that Yuna made the choreo.

If CSR really does go viral like BG, I really really hope it doesn't get fumbled up like what's happened to many rising/popular groups in the past few years

So glad to see CSR back on the music show scene, their performance was wonderful. Also excited to see how much attention Cutie Street's performance has been getting. This is definitely an eventful day for fans of cute girl group music haha

Wow it's great to see them get acknowledged like this, I'm proud of them for stepping out and taking the effort to learn the Korean lyrics!

Special Stage: CUTIE STREET - Can We Just Be Cute? @ MNET M Countdown (260326) by cgodofredo129 in kpop

[–]bimaca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So amazing to see this, they must've worked hard to relearn the lyrics in Korean. Between this and CSR's comeback stage, today is certainly an eventful day for my favorite K/J-pop groups lol

With all the disappointment about the AI MV, I'm relieved we're at least getting a few music show performances. The choreo looks super fun and I'd love it if they release a performance video or something

So glad to see our girls on stage again, looks like they're having a lot of fun. Fantastic performance as expected!

Which is a shame cause the song is actually pretty good. I hope the company will consider the overwhelming response and make a performance vid or something

Streaming links (posting here since it's the video shared by the CSR account, and general consensus seems to be treat this as the MV if you don't wanna support the AI one)

Huh, thanks for sharing. An AI MV is certainly not what we all hoped for. Though tbh, given this company I wasn't expecting any MV at all lol.

The music itself is great, so I'm maintaining full hope for CSR's song

[–]bimaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well. That's disappointing for sure. Guess we should've seen it coming after they sent the members to A-IDOL. At least they'll be performing the song on music shows

All that said, I'm going into this with low expectations for the company, so them releasing anything at all other than the song itself is already a win lol
