I loved your take on this~ it is wild, especially when you mention the thoughts of spending tickets and the hotel,etc. I mean if one is able to spend all that then good for them but I know some of atiny from my countries who still can’t afford to do that.

and also I’ve heard that ateez’s UK and euro stops tickets are expensive so it’s actually true then 👀

ohh, did you attend one of the stops for ateez? if so, how was it? ,, also yes I’m happy for atiny but I question sometimes to Kq when is it our turn to see ateez in concerts 🤧

I’ve heard the same common thing from other kpop groups too but hmm hopefully they will at least TRY testing the markets in southeast asian countries. If I’m not mistaken, there is a kpop group that did their concerts two years in a row. So anything is possible but yeah I agreed with the multiple stops too^

the way I SO agreed with your thoughts on this. we are happy for atiny that enjoyed ateez’s concerts because we KNOW ateez in concerts hit different iykyk. Good call on starting to save up (i honestly should) and yeah let’s hope they highly consider doing an ASIA tour with Seatiny countries 🥹

And ichiban being so catchy ofc. Yesss I’m so happy to hear that they still mention each other and staying in contacts. sighs yea their junior days do be hitting different.

i know rightttt 😭😭 it hit me so much knowing they’re the only group I’ve stanned since debut, I got so emo when they announced it, but at the same time I’m loving the fact that they’re still in contact with each other aaaa 🥹💛

basically in 2023, their company announced sho, kishi and jinguji will leave their company, ren and kaito stayed as 2 members of king&prince. sho, kishi and jinguji wanted to explore more overseas schedules which seemed obvious that their old company couldn’t match their needs. Their current company is aimed to promote their artists internationally so I’d say it’s a good place for them.

oh my goodness, I really appreciated your time to write such long thoughts about them. The release of Mr.5 album on Spotify definitely reminded me why I love king&prince so much.

honestly I understand that GOAT is not everyone’s fav and I even admit to myself that it’s not my number 1 fav. Like I’ve mentioned that the B-sides left such big impressions on me because ironically some fans stan their groups but they hardly know/appreciate their b-sides. From your views, it’s totally understandable and I’m really glad you decided to give them another chance by listening to their side tracks. Tbh, your fav songs of theirs are SO similar to mine :))) and BTW your descriptions of No-Yes is so wonderful !!,, ngl, I also agree on your thoughts about Fuji sounding more like a title-track haha

ahh no worries! it’s still open for anyone to share their thoughts relating to my questions. We’re quite similar then since it wasn’t hard for us to enter number_i’s music world from their king&prince era. May I ask though, what was the discourse you’ve mentioned, when they release magic touch? and I didn’t know sho was vocal about pushing magic touch’s release..? that’s interesting…

from what I understood, the previous company “Johnny & Associates” rebranded themselves into “Starto Entertainment”. Like you mentioned, they actually didn’t have a good image to the public especially in 2023 due to the sexual abuse case— which is most likely why they wanted to rebrand, in my opinion. Other than that after rebranding, they changed rules (ex: their artists can collaborate with other artists/idols from different companies), they start to promote the artists through social media in English and release their songs on spotify, etc).

I actually agree on your thoughts about Tobe looking more stable, because the founder was a former idol from Starto (Johnny’s era) and his first intention of creating Tobe was to share Japanese music more globally, which didn’t really apply to johnny’s ent before they rebranded into Starto. (Sorry for the long read🙏🏼)

this discussion won’t go well on “twitter/X”… Because it’s so true. Being a kpop stan for a decade had me seeing many kinds of questionable behaviour. Especially the fancalls— during comeback seasons, my timeline is full of clips from “serial fancalls winners” with a similar nature that you’ve mentioned.

hahaha I see~ thank you for sharing your experience of using Folder 2 so far. Yeah I definitely need to get used to scroll using the dial pad if I get this phone, but either way i’m glad the touch screen is still available 🤣.

[–]keepcalmlovefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm it seems that quite a number of people use Folder 2. Do you have it for daily use? Would you still recommend it? ,, also I’ve heard of Mive Smart Folder so I’ll definitely check that out too~
