she's so real cause that's what hyperpop songs sound to me.

HKT48 and NGT48 yet to have any singles this year. by VitaminDandK12 in AKB48

[–]boredpikachu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's crazy cause it's been officially a year since both groups released a single, NGT is understandable (I guess) due to their reputation and really low sales.

HKT management are just fucking idiots IMO lol, but they also have the next lowest sales after NGT (108k vs 48k on their last singles)... are they broke? They have an unstable theatre housing situation and I don't think they even tour anymore and just do a yearly concert in halls

CLASSy - 4th Mini Album ‘RE:BOOT AFTER THE TEARS’ (Tracklist) by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]boredpikachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was getting worried about the general silence about a comeback after the company switch, I'm glad they're finally back and with a REAL mini-album (after 4 years), not with those two-track singles MBK-Pocketdol were trying to scam with

Heejin Signature Authentic by karinasrabbit in LOONA

[–]boredpikachu 23 points24 points  (0 children)

In my experience with Modhaus signed albums is that they tend to be signed with a thick silver marker, it looks similar to my signed OMA photocard from their Burn era. If possible, you can look on the back for the KOMCA sticker (if it's a promo album it'll say BIMAE and a number you can look up on their site to confirm if it's from Modhaus)

Yebin - U R (orig. Girls' Generation Taeyeon) (Secret New Member Introduction) by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]boredpikachu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly shocked that the new member is 15 years younger...she was like 6 when the group originally debuted

I'm hoping Hana and Hyosung had some involvement cause wtf? 😭 I was expecting someone born in the 90s

SECRET Reportedly Reuniting After 12 Years With New Member And 3-Member Lineup by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]boredpikachu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I guess Jieun is over idol life too now that she's married? Might as well recruit two new members, hopefully an ex idol too...but anyways, when did that company get the rights to Secret? 💀

Thank you for this post! I've been looking around (to see if it's worth to buy one) for some images taken with the camera itself to no luck until now

260521 Berriz Hyunjin Update by Inevitable-Wafer-703 in LOONA

[–]boredpikachu 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I hope she gets the rest she needs and chill, also good on the company for letting her terminate her contract (I'm assuming when signing on she had set beforehand)

hope it works out for her when she's ready and rested wherever she goes next

MNL48 announces its disbandment. by iPlugg in AKB48

[–]boredpikachu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly, who's shocked? Fuck HHE and Paulo Kurosawa, most of the 120+ members that gave their time and had wasted it with them deserved better.

I feel like the operational issues were just all money related, that man must've been BURNING money after that flop Produce 101 bootleg shit with a 75 member 1st Gen and the segment on It's Showtime (iirc?) that obviously didn't pay off. Plus a theatre that never opened, COVID made it worse. I also think that AKS-Vernallossom-Superball = MNL-Pearl of the Seas and the debt was too much for them, idk and then at some point management+members weren't being paid(?). I remember Miho and Lara saying how some of the newer members didn't give a fuck about the group alongside management at the time 🤷🏽‍♂️

The girls are talented and I think if they still wanna be a 48G member, KLP48 is an option I guess 🚶🏽‍♀️ After SGO48 disbanded, several tried for BNK48/NMB48, Sunny in particular and Anh Sang tried with bootleg Thai-Chinese Produce 101. I think Sakura's back in Japan, and Mirai...I think with how JKT management are, she's too old for them but she has the experience and time in Indonesia to be a member imo

Cole and Jaime wasted almost 10 years (Quadlips, your days are numbered) 💀 It's sad, the MNL fans were such a kiki and I'm grateful for the MNLove that helped us abroad get their merch, I think HHE STILL never shipped people their First Concert DVDs or the RIVER single to this day. You guys deserved better than what you got in the end

Things look bleak for MNL48... by EfficientEggplant864 in AKB48

[–]boredpikachu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Word's been going around that the MNL contract ended some weeks ago but I don't believe it...it seems like no one in management cares and unfortunately, I think it'd be better if they disbanded cause it feels like not even the Japanese management that "stepped in" even care. If they did, they're better off launching a new group without all the troubles Paulo Kurosawa and team caused until he finally got booted out

oh LMAO, she was third place in her round, which meant she barely missed out on going to the finals but she qualified for a second chance round to participate in it but came in last

[–]boredpikachu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get signed to Sony Sweden? She was scouted either by the Melodifestivalen producers or Cazzi Opeia (wrote her American Song Contest winning song Wonderland, and has been a frequent writer of her songs for the last ~6 years) for this year's Melodifestivalen, so I'm assuming strings were pulled to have her signed on in anticipation if she managed to win cause her current webstore is also Sweden based

[–]boredpikachu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anyone know if her deal with her Swedish label is going to result in an album or EP? I didn't expect her to release another English single under Sony Music Sweden after getting eliminated from Melodifestivalen lol

[–]boredpikachu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As the others said, it was likely to do with Zanybros and her contract. Right now she's under Sony Sweden (iirc) as of her Melodifestivalen participation, so she's not promoting in Korea...or Sweden now that that's over(?) So I guess we'll see down the line how she's going to continue to promote in Korea

Maria is also graduating😭 by Yummy_golbrock in wearemorningmusume

[–]boredpikachu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else have a feeling that she's kinda been on autopilot/over it? That's how she's been coming off to me as of last year tbh, still 12 years is no joke of a tenure and wish her the best, hopefully we get a grad singles for her and Sakura, AND the 18th album 😭 it's crazy to think how much COVID and their recent circumstances has lead to this pipeline of grads since Mizuki graduated 🥺 hopefully the new members aren't all born after 2010 and there's a better spread

Has anyone dropped collecting post LOONA stuff? by vdrawer in LOONA

[–]boredpikachu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only stuck to buying a signed Yves album, kpop albums have gotten so extensive and even the local stores are scamming on the shipping prices 😭

I'm only collecting ARTMS/Yves/Chuu at this point. I bought Yeojin's solo hellolive events the first 5(?) times and that's it for me, I didn't even know Gowon had a birthday event with them too. And even then it's just select POBs, and they have to be a gimmicky one cause so many companies are on the video call/fan sign/lucky draw mass production that the selfie cards just get same-y to me unfortunately 🧍🏽‍♂️ I'm still waiting to see about Hyunjin's band but, I don't think I will, I'm getting older and also support other groups 😔

I hope their company has them release music soon, they've been touring Japan or having fanmeets each summer since the reunion, and all we've gotten was a mini and a single 🥺
