On this series we remember songs that have been forgotten or were never even given the attention they deserved. Today's Hidden Gem is Bad by Queen B'z
Perhaps one of the boldest girl group debuts ever. I don't think I've ever heard something quite like it in all my years as a Kpop fan. The vocals are so POWERFUL and the song itself is very empowering. I also think the rapper totally killed it. This was an era where cute concepts were in, the horror concept didn't really exist yet. Now the horror concept is super popular. I bet if they debuted now they'd get lots of attention. This was actually a re-debut for the members. The team was originally called Pop Con and they had a generic nugu GG sound for that time period. This was very different
Sadly, this was the only song Queen B'z released with this concept. Their comeback was an extremely generic (and kinda annoying) cute concept. Blows my mind that they're the same group without any lineup changes. Interesting after their last comeback in 2014, they existed for another 3 years performing. However, they disbanded officially in 2017. One member appeared on I Can See Your Voice 3 in 2016. Another member, L.Rody, debuted solo in 2015 and went independent after disbandment, her last release was in 2018. The members haven't been super active since then. Some of the members still hang out occasionally together though.
