A song like kep1er Up! can be released by any girlgroup

they should fire whoever is in charge of finding songs for kepler...its actually tragic, its like they go and find the most obnoxious generic songs possible.

It is! I do still miss izone music. No one has really taken up this sound and made it theirs like izone.

Agreed. I think the closest thing I've heard was Lightsum's Vivace. But they flip-flopped to a different sound again with their last comeback. That's also another group facing an identity crisis. I guess Cube never learned from CLC.

Also I don't think this song will EVER leave my playlist lol

I like Up more because it doesn't give me whiplash like Wadada.

They still maintain planet esthetic tho but I think they really don't know what to do with it, how to incorporate it to their sound/music.

I'm not familiar with Izone, but Izone esthetic is easy to work with.

Honestly I'm not really a fan of both groups. I think I'm more interested how they will be in the future when their contract end.

I never thought I'lI know almost all Izone members now (well mainly it's because BlackpinkHouse always brought it up)

Quote from Alex_Murphy

Unpopular opinion here, but I feel like Izone is only special for those who watched Produce back then. How can one make sense of so many members? It doesn't help that they all wear the same kind of uniform like clothing in the MVs. Who's main vocals, lead vocals, rapper? I have no idea.

At least with Kep1er, based off WA DA DA alone I was able to notice a few members because of their specific talent that were actually showcased in the song.

But maybe that's just me.

Well, it's funny because this is my opposite 😄😄

As someone who didn't follow any pd series or gp999, I think kep1er is special only for those who follow gp999. For izone, I could tell which member was in charge of vocal things, the rapper, center and dancer based on their mv alone.

For kep1er, idk, the one that stood out is hikaru as she is the one that rap.

But yeah, I still can't find what is kep1er signature vibes, even on their new song, wing wing

Kep1er just suffer from their subpar producers. I got a hint from QD2 already because I didn't like any of their rearrangements so it wasn't really surprising we got Up!

It's sad to see how much potentials have been wasted and the girls were much more appealing in gp999 than after they debut imo. I hope their company don't take it on the girls though because it's not their faults but the producers.

Izone bsides are title track worthy

Respectfully I disagree with you OP

I kind of wanted to chalk it up to not being for me, because I'm not really a casual girl group listener since a lot doesn't click, but idk looking at past produce girl groups, Kep1er is lacking.

I'm hoping they make more songs like MVSK or something. That's a really top tier song.

if u have to blame, blame whoever managing them tho they clearly not putting any effort,

star power sth doesn't matter as with the right song and concept nearly anyone can shine

Quote from atropos

It does. Star power attracts fans. But i also agree that some idols can gain more appeal with right concept and styling.

star power is weird thing, in izone I wouldn't even care one bit about that Chaewon girl, but damn in lsm she looks like whole different person, the charisma, the attitude, the look

same with Wonyoung, I liked her in IVE not in Izone

for me it's sth that also based on styling, concept, music and marketing

obviously generic songs, generic concept, generic styling will make any group look generic. It's sad that whoever in charge not putting effort. Also if anything I would say they lack visuals compared to other 4th gen ggs.

Same with Wadada. Their songs are just pretty generic.

Quote from staycOrbit

Kep1er needs better music asap.

Its just... not good. They're the worst "produce" group in that regard so far.

Agree with this, especially if compared to Izone.

Up >> Wa da da

Agree, its pretty basic
