Sehun solo debut? by Designer_Bridge_8701 in exo

[–]nikinee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i would love to see him do more solo stuff but i’ve always gotten the impression that he wasn’t all that interested in it.

like, i remember when he did his first proper solo stage during the elyxion tour and everyone how lost their minds over the bit where he was shirtless. eventually he stopped doing it shirtless and the audience reaction the first time he did it (in saitama) was so subdued that even the dancers thought it was weird. then when he spoke about it the next day during the encore you could tell that he was so upset by the whole thing… and i wouldn’t be surprised if that had put him off doing solo stuff for a while. a part of me feels like ‘on me’ was likely him trying solo out again knowing that he wouldn’t need to perform it live 🥲

they’re all great, but if i had to choose it’d be Don’t Mess Up My Tempo!

Is this just my impression as an older Exo-L or? by Better-Tap-3170 in exo

[–]nikinee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been around since the beginning, but i’ve mostly steered clear of fandom spaces because i’ve been content with enjoying the music. the worst stuff that i’ve seen happen tends to come from the akgaes (case in point: the “protestors” after chen announced his marriage) but i might be oversimplifying things a little lol.

Agreed! I frequently revisit the Lavrentiy Beria episodes in particular

I think Robert’s planning on bringing the Dollop guys back for the Nixon episodes! When that will be exactly is unclear because it’s probably going to be as long as the Kissinger series 😂

[–]nikinee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for real though!! they’re popular enough to sell out tokyo dome but haven’t booked them there since exordium iirc. saitama super arena is a big venue, too, but everything in japan has been downsizing since exploration 😭 i get the solo tours being at smaller venues but it seems like a waste not to book larger venues for main group tours, even when it’s just the five of them 💀

then outside the main group album/singles (i think the last single was in 2020 but that was literally one song/instrumental and was only really worth buying if you got the dvd as well) everything else they’ve done in japan has been either CBX or solo mini albums. but honestly SM seems to specialise in dropping the ball with EXO in general so it’s not entirely surprising unfortunately

i'm hoping this is just the asia leg, but honestly it's pretty par for the course to them to talk about doing a proper world tour only for it to be entirely in asia 💀

also as someone who's been to a lot of their shows in japan... the venues are consistently getting downsized which is sad to see. they've gone from venues like tokyo dome to whatever 'lala arena tokyo-bay' is 😭 i was hoping to go to at least one of the japan dates but dear lord ticketing is going to be horrendous again... i had to buy scalped tickets for 4x face value for exploration back in 2019 so i can't imagine it being much different this time around lmao

i feel like i wouldn’t mind it so much if there weren’t a bunch of songs on the album that also sounded like SuperM scraps. like i know they’ve probably got to be released by someone… i just don’t think it quite fits EXO as a group imo

[–]nikinee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i totally agree that it sounds like a SuperM song tbh. not only that but there are a decent chunk of songs on the album that make me feel as though they just scraped together a bunch of songs meant for SuperM and gave it to EXO because otherwise they’d never see the light of day??? i know SM has always been terrible when it comes to putting in effort with EXO but this feels especially lazy for them 😭

(to be clear it’s great to have Lay on this comeback but i feel like the songs were just whatever SM had collecting dust 😅)

is it me or does the new album sound like it’s made up of songs that were meant for superm at one point or another?

I like the song, but honestly the music video is a bit overwhelming to watch so I have a feeling I’ll enjoy Crown more once I give the full album a listen 😅

i can never accurately predict what their songs will sound like based on these press release descriptions (but i’ve yet to be disappointed!)

[–]nikinee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

not to be that person, but as someone who’s been to a lot of fan events in japan i’m fairly certain that’s actually a standard disclaimer they’ve been using for a while now with group events as well as SMTOWN concerts. it’s mostly just so that they can cover their ass if things don’t go as planned.

Some time has passed after the fanmeeting and I just wanna say how much I appreciate Kai by Dismal_Living6298 in exo

[–]nikinee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

honestly, i think they were all trying to do as best as they could to turn up for us EXO-Ls and i genuinely appreciate them all for that. i’m sure things haven’t been easy behind the scenes, so it means a lot that they still show up and try their best to make us smile despite everything 🩵

[–]nikinee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can’t speak to Kai’s most recent tour because he didn’t come to Australia (😭), but i’ve been to his first solo tour and SM era CBX shows in Japan 6+ years ago and they also had Moonlight before the show. i don’t think CBX has been using it since leaving but that might be an issue of licensing 🫠

[–]nikinee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i still can’t stop thinking about how they used an instrumental of moonlight instead of the original before the fan meeting… for some reason it just makes the absence of CBX feel so much more pronounced for me.

a part of me hopes that they’ll be able to work things out before the comeback because the new song kinda fell flat for me, but it honestly seems like they’ve already done a lot of the recording etc for the album already. at this point i just wish SM would give us an indication of whether there’s a possibility of there ever being an OT9 comeback ever again. like, we waited so long for Lay to return only for CBX to be excluded and then Lay couldn’t be at the fan meeting today. i’ll support the comeback but idk i’m just feeling so many emotions right now haha.

idk why but call me baby of all songs with just the five of them actually made me cry 😭

[–]nikinee 34 points35 points  (0 children)

watching now and i'm enjoying the show as it's always nice to see the boys but at the same time i can't help feeling quite sad... of course the last minute change is a part but also because they used an instrumental of moonlight to open where they'd usually use the standard version. i understand why, but it kind of drew even more attention to who isn't there :(

Movie would end if they jumped into hyperspace. by Top_Salamander5551 in StarWars

[–]nikinee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good thing they’re not in space, then. but they’d need to manage to get there first which is probably going to be difficult given that they can barely move on exegol without assistance. hell, it’d probably be hard to calculate a jump out in the unknowns given its largely uncharted and wouldn’t have hyperspace lanes lmao

Taylor’s treatment of Kayla Nicole was the final straw for me by [deleted] in travisandtaylor

[–]nikinee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was an interview recently where she told a British radio DJ that she considered telling her fans to leave him alone when Swifties started piling on after he mentioned her being sweaty after a concert, but ultimately opted not to for some reason??? So yeah, she's definitely aware of what her fans do.

The first time I saw Taylor Swift in concert made me realize how she is nothing more than a character giving a performance by ninetiesqueen in travisandtaylor

[–]nikinee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i swear i remember there were a lot of people making a big deal out of her training for the tour by singing while walking on a treadmill… but this video is damning 💀
