I think they’re gonna be streaming this specific part of this weekend’s 88rising set at 10pm tomorrow night on their main channel. It’s listed as a partial set which I assume means that they’ll be at the end where 2NE1 was last weekend and just not show the beginning

While I’m in here I know this is a very basic question but what are some of the best tracks so far in 2022? I’m looking for some more k-pop to fill out my 2022 playlist. I’ve already got TAEYEON, STAYC, Red Velvet and CL on there.

teagone posted:I've never heard the original lol. https://youtu.be/PgMm47dtsQI there are 4 lyric changes in the first chorus alone, it’s one of those songs where they had to make a radio edit once it got popular enough (and I do mean popular it hit #3 on Billboard) but they absolutely should not have. It’s not quite WAP I guess but then again what is?

https://youtu.be/VOmIplFAGeg Last song on the EP. Beat’s great, music video is really cool and choreography focused. Lyrics though… I thought they did a good job avoiding any sort of sexuality in the first three songs and videos but it turns out they were just saving it all for this track. It feels out of place at best and kinda sleazy at worst. Gonna keep listening to the others on repeat thought, Hype Boy is still burrowed into my head.

Bottom Liner posted:It’s weird because the Hangul doesn’t translate to what they wrote for the English captions. That doesn’t make it any better but they still went out of their way to make it more sexual than the Korean lyrics. I still don’t know a whole lot about the Korean music industry, but is it possible these songs were written not just with an eye towards breaking into the western market but also the possibility of being sung by western acts as well? I noticed for all of the songs on this EP that the translations were not just direct translations but translations that fit right into the songs so they could be sung as lyrics themselves. That would make it trivially easy to have someone else sing these same songs in English. Obviously with the success they’ve been having that doesn’t really seem necessary but it would explain why the lyrics are so different from the translations and possibly why the tone of those English lyrics is so off. Maybe they assumed that American listeners just really want innuendo in their pop music.

ZypherIM posted:Based on people's comments I was expecting it the be quite a bit worse than it was? Like we've seen significantly more sexual lyrics out of young kpop groups before. Probably what is throwing people off more is that there is a Korean wordplay going on with making music/cds (hence all the cds in the background for no reason) that isn't that common in english (similar in a way to letting a track bake/cook longer). Agreed that you can read it in a more sexual way and could have used another pass, but I sort of wonder if that is also influenced by the more R&B styling of the track and associations we have with that music. I think some people are blowing things out of proportion (“Lookie at my cookie” is not innuendo, it just rhymes) but also the people trying to say it’s all completely innocent are being pretty dense. That usage of “thirsty” is pretty telling.

Oh come on you missed the best partquote:After this issue arose, we took it upon ourselves to research different slang terms, finding there exist wildly different and unexpected meanings for everyday words like cake, biscuit and rice, strawberry, melon, and more. If someone wants to stir up controversy, then, it isn’t any specific words that’s problematic but any words they choose to target at all. Importantly, words take on entirely different informal meanings in the context of different cultures, places, and at different times in history, so judging how suitable any one word is is ambiguous at best. Considering that, it’s difficult for any song lyrics to ever be free from disputes. Rather than mention any of the readily available examples and risk offending anyone, consider this scenario provided by a native English-speaking professional translator: I want to see their food-to-body part slang-by-country database now, I’m sure that will serve them well in the future.

You know I look at bigger groups some times and wonder how having 9 or even more members would ever be useful and I guess now I know a situation in which having 12 members is a positive edit: their new song is the closing track for a Japanese series which has a name that all of a sudden feels like a bad omen quote:This new song was previously revealed to be the ending theme song for the MBS/TBS Japanese drama “According to the Six Survivors,” adapted from the manga of the same name. The song itself is bright and catchy; thus, the upbeat sound is especially suitable to the comedic and intense nature of the drama.

Bottom Liner posted:Itzy English prerelease track for an unannounced album Video is amazing verses are good chorus is… underwhelming I guess? The pissed/dismissed rhyme doesn’t feel right to me. The beat feels a little hollow, like they wanted a pop-rock vibe without any of the sounds that come with it. Video is perfect Lia throwing boulders and Ryujin Hawkeye-ing some poor dude’s phone are also perfect

https://youtu.be/ljGNuMD63nI Last episode of Itzy in LA is very sweet, at the beginning of the trip they all got a “secret friend” that they were supposed to take as much video/photos as possible without making it known. Then at the end they all wrote letters to their secret friend and they got to read the letters written to them and watch a montage of the clips/photos their secret friend took. It sounds incredibly contrived and it is but also they all love each other so much that I left thinking “man I should tell my friends I love them more often” Also they get to eat tacos for the first time, which I’m kind of envious of

The videos rule, they very easily could have just dropped the song or made some sort of comp video of their huge ascent but they made a pair of incredibly well made works that fit the song as well as tell their own story. I like the interpretation that they represent the fan/group relationship from each side of the equation. The song still has that magic, too, I think it stands right alongside the EP tracks, especially because it doesn’t feel like it’s too similar a vibe to any of them.

Bottom Liner posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZAgIHmHLdc Good stuff, I think it’s funny that it feels like it might get overshadowed by its “b-side” but “we can’t stop making great songs” is a pretty good problem to have. Also speaking of Problem this sounds like an Ariana Grande song, easily could have fit in with a version of thank u next that wasn’t about anxiety and bad coping measures. Video is also fun, I audibly laughed at the Steve Jobs fit at the beginning, but also pales in comparison to Ditto’s videos which ruled and really set the tone for that song.

Super No Vacancy posted:on the new itzy tour diary they go out to eat with JYP and yeji brings up how competitive it is right now where if they have a really good song they chart well but if not then they drop hard. JYP doesnt really address what shes saying, at least how they edited it, and just compliments them saying that theyll win out because they can both dance and sing live but it was interesting that she brought it up. this song and cheshire dont really do anything for me and i'm interested to see what your itzys and aespas will do in a post-newjeans world. i think there are more aespa side-project songs than actual aespa songs now with the got the beat album I watched that too, JYP had a very “dad realizing his girls are growing up” moment when Yuna was talking about champagne, it was v adorable. You can feel that he really believes in how talented they all are

OMG appears to be a little less popular in Korea than Ditto, I dunno if it would have quite the dominance. I think it’s funny that Ditto blew up so much that the group was worried that OMG was gonna get overlooked completely but it seems to be doing just fine on its own. It actually appears to be more popular than the other NJ tracks with American listeners, which tracks. I keep waiting for them to make a real push in the US, I think OMG might be the track to do it with. https://twitter.com/nj_spotify/status/1620387708383408128?s=46&t=BKRjzIBZB0EIvZVdN8OKUA

The nursery rhyme thing makes it make more sense but it doesn’t make that part of the song any better. It’s not like the awfulness of Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch would be made any worse if you weren’t aware of the source material That said I found a version that takes the chorus and replaces it with more prechorus. It’s a little hollow now but I feel like this production and the prechorus especially are gonna lend themselves to remixing.
