ILLIT are the new representatives of cute music | concept is giving Sailor Moon

I get more a City Pop vibe like I suspected. They are clearly targeting the Japanese market.

it sounds very promising so far

Huh.

You linked City Pop but didn't link THE City Pop of all time?

Whats City Pop???

> sorry for being dumb lol

It’s basically 80s/90s anime inspired music. It’s big in Japan.

Their visuals are definitely city pop, the music a little less but it makes sense since it has to appeal to everyone not just the city pop fans.

I listened to it and while it's cute it doesn't give off the Twice sound ? Or are you talking about some of their bsides maybe? That I would agree

Songs 2 and 4 sound very familiar.

They are straight up, a younger Mark II version of NJ.

you know how Enhypen is known for their "Dark Moon" vampire concept and they have a whole popular webtoon and series??

Woah, they actually went with that..? I didn't know

Everyone and their mother wants to be the new twice, illit's concept execution is extremely disappointing. Using AI and making the group look cheap... but we still look forward to the debut

The artist of this clip Mooncube literally has clips of her making her artwork and animation on instagram. She's currently also going through chemo therapy for cancer, she really doesn't need kpop stans in her DMs accusing her of using AI

No. Twice is the girl next door.

While ILLIT is giving innocent girls.

So were Twice the rough & tumble girls next door that your parents told you to stay away from? Because those are both the same concept.

strong city pop vibes, way more synth-y and 80's retro than I thought. The Slow Rabbit song (Magnetic) sounds reaaaaally promising though, that might be a hit

I had no idea Iroha was Japanese.

lol not you accusing any animation of being made with ai do you even know what you're saying, and how nonsensical it sounds

best leave what you have no idea about out of your mouth and avoid the embarrassment whilst trying to appear smart

Idk why you're telling me she has cancer like I'm supposed to not be suspicious of AI use because of that? Like I hope she does well in recovery but some of the backgrounds in the teaser are extremely weird.

I would link an article but I cant so heres some stills withs strange backgrounds

I am not in that woman's dms and I can say whatever I want within reason on a public forum

Okay lets say AI was used....now what???

AI blows, simple as that. I'm happy to see it getting criticized in the art world

What are we as kpop fans on the internet supposed to do?

Even if international fans choose to not support ILLIT, most likely they'll still be popular in Korea regardless.

I mean people literally SEARCHING for a reason to hate this debut.

I promise it ain't that deep

Uhhh... nothing? I said I'm still looking forward. People replied to me fuming and I defended my position. Why does everything have to be an issue worth going to war over for you guys? Like...

edit: also whats the issue with criticizing AI? you people are so weird.

Quote from usagi-kua

Okay it get criticized by internet stans....now what?

Like even not on here, but on Twitter and reddit I seen some people tryna get hit post talking about AI this and AI that.

I mean who gaf if its AI or not, the video is about the song highlights.

it's like people really want to have a problem with Illit for nothing and it's looking ridiculous

Not specifically you, but just speaking as a whole about today

that's the discourse, people clearly give a fuck. What, you want me to explain how the internet works for you? AI art is cancer, prove otherwise
