Board 8 > kpop topic - greatguys? great guys.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I had quite a day yesterday so obvies didn't post. I'm kinda running out of cherished EDs anyway.

I'm late, but I'm listening to Yuri's solo album

surprisingly solid, I'm really digging her sound.

i didn't think much of the title track, but i still need to check out the rest of the album. speaking of, hyoyeon teaser out of nowhere:

recent SNSD work is kinda just tossed out there without much promotion.

Twice - Yes or Yes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAKsZ26SabQ" data-time="

been revisting twice's output this year, and liking it more than i did before.

i've said before that twice's vocals don't always gel with me, but they've been less annoying this year.

Gugudan - Not That Type

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QTZCB2Ujr8" data-time="

i love haebin in this so much.

Key - Forever Yours (feat. Soyou)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJUjR2N0aEM" data-time="

91 line! song's alright, for a pre-release.
---

Just realized that Don't by Loco/Hwasa is on Spotify now. Add that shit to your playlist!

i will put it on my 80gb ipod.

park soomin's debut:

DreamNote - Dream Note

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C97vYXlVc0" data-time="

i was thinking this is like 'yes or yes' but even peppier before discovering it's by the same producer. bit too much aegyo voice, but p. good when they're actually singing.

yeah, the jennie solo is weak af.

BTOB - Beautiful Pain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCLTrLKkD8I" data-time="

predictable ballad. they've done better.
---

HYO & 3LAU - Punk Right Now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOxlPu_rizU" data-time="

i like the instrumentals.

still wish she'd sing more often though - here, and in general.
---

Jennie solo started okay but then got really really bad
---

the beat drop is so bad.

speaking of, does anyone believe that the solos for the other members are going to happen or was that just to placate the people complaining?
---

IMO it's the half-assed beat drop, it's the poor chorus, it's completely tossaway lyrics

It's everything. It's just bad lol

Who tf thought sololololololo was good

been listening to it a bunch, nonetheless. they're good at ballads, and i've just been in that sort of mood.

Takeuchi Miyu - No Way Man (special cover)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DavHQLhgQ" data-time="

love her
---

it's here

Aqua - Log In

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r9DqkWrBlY" data-time="

song is underwhelming for the supergroup they've got here, but i wasn't expecting much from this project. sihyeon debuted, and i am happy.

now anticipate their esports debut i guess?
---

oh yeah, i forgot day6 has a lightband instead of a lightstick - looks p. rad.

Lucy - Swing (feat. Park Kyung)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yfgqMMGp_M" data-time="

lucy the best. i hope we get another song with an MV one of these days.

Matilda - Between Autumn and Winter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e58bh2LFnY" data-time="

not a fan of the song, but good to hear from them again still.

Baek A Yeon - Dear Me (live album sampler)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7MEBxjHLKg" data-time="

most important comeback for me this month.
---

Lee Soomin's cover of Dua Lipa's IDGAF with Lee Kangho:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpJ_HX_dkSU" data-time="

man, i love her voice.
---

oh yeah and, oops, forgot about the wanna one song:

Wanna One - Spring Breeze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD2mik4V5EE" data-time="

kinda promising when the instrumentals picked up, but dull for most of it.

i feel like this should have been their 'downpour', and we should have still gotten their 'very very very'.
---

Takeuchi Miyu - Dancing Hero (Produce48 ver.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkJQ9LfFlmo" data-time="

man, miyu's been busy. another cover in a few days, too!

also, yeonjung and baek a yeon on idol radio together - my faves interacted:

hell yes

Baek A Yeon - Sorry To Myself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VaJ_UNMCQk" data-time="

typical ballad instrumentals, but she sounds great as always. going through the album now, and it's slower than i expected, but i guess it's because this is a winter comeback while the last two albums were in the summer.

EXID - I Love You

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAdmzjsFVQo" data-time="

solji's back! i continue to like exid as a group of people more than i like their music, but maybe it'll grow on me.

NCT 127 - Simon Says

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arjy2v7zEI0" data-time="

yo this is so good, and far more the sort of song i expect from 127 than 'regular'.
---

Elkie - I Dream

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0D6Jqvnt3w" data-time="

not my thing exactly, but it's pleasant and i've always liked her voice. it's just good to see CLC releasing music in some capacity, in any case. still hoping the current reality show is leading up to an early group comeback next year.

Yay or nay?

Yay.

a bunch of new releases today, most of it a bit meh.

here's kim doah's sub-unit, launching ahead of the full group:

Flavor - Milkshake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmCwIBkiONY" data-time="

it's orange caramel-esque, but maybe not orange caramel-esque enough. still, doah owns.
---

oof, getting to that time of year where i have to whittle down a 200+ longlist into a lean top 100.
---

i feel really good about the top of my list this year, unlike last year when even 1st place changed a dozen times up until the end, and i'd probably have a different one if i finalized it a day later.

also it doesn't mean much, but the longlist currently has 4 BTS songs, 2 Day6 songs, and 3 Stray Kids songs. fairly certain there'll be at least 1 BTS, 1 Day6, and 2 Stray Kids on the final list, but i'm not sure beyond that.
