Right now I'm going for Blop. It's not horrible. It has catchy elements. I'm going to give it 4 listens. I couldn't listen to it while watching the MV. The images were too distracting in a negative way. My brain was WHYING.

A quarter is 25% of a dollar. 25% of a year is 3 months because a year is 12 months. 25% is the same as 1/4. 1/4 in words is one-fourth.
Two of these songs are not technically 100% K-Pop but K-Pop adjacent.

I'm still updating Yoshi's thread on other forums but AKP loads too slowly for me, so I will no longer be updating Yoshi's thread on this forum.

Like Crazy-bop

Lol i do that too. If I'm iffy on a song, I'll put in on in my car really loud. My car makes everything sound better for some reason
There are exceptions though. Like Crazy sounds better on headphones while chilling in my room than blasting in my car.

Not feeling it. YAMAI still best Japanese Treasure song-I feel warmth and nostalgia every time I hear it.

I was driving in the rain earlier this week down a hill and people were driving over 80mph.

2-3 times and it also has to pass the car test. I have to listen to the song while driving.

I've never been to a BP concert but I've been to a Mika concert (Mika is the MC).

No, the last time that the Japanese celebrated the Lunar New Year in Japan was in 1872 during the Meiji Period.
Thanks for the correction. I thought they got rid of Lunar New Year at the beginning of the Meiji Period but it wasn't until 6 years later.

This thread is making me crave pizza.

This. A lot of westerners think of it as Chinese New Year because the way they found out about the holiday was through the way Chinese communities celebrate it. Korea and other countries that celebrate it don't have as big of a presence in the west, at least not historically. So the holiday became associated with China in the eyes of the west. Japan might have been able to offer another perspective, but Japan doesn't really celebrate it.
Japan used to celebrate it before the Meiji Restoration. That last era Japan officially celebrated Lunar New Year was during the Edo Period.

Pig > Boar

Yeah in the multi-cultural areas where I'm from we have been calling it Lunar New Year for awhile. Like more than 5 years. Possibly more than 10. In less cosmopolitan areas I'm not surprised.

Chinese New Year (or Spring Festival), Seollal, etc. are celebrated based on the Chinese lunisolar calendar. Most people in the world are probably more familiar with the Chinese celebrations, hence why they sometimes get lumped together which is of course not good. However, I think that this new push of trying to replace "Chinese" with "Lunar" is equally disrespectful and has little to do with the desire to respect other cultures but just a part of the general anti-Chinese narratives. Why? Because it erases all people who follow different lunisolar calendars. For example, Tsagaan Sar (Mongolian New Year) is celebrated by Mongolian and some Turkic (e.g. Tuvans) ethnicities, the date is calculated using a Mongolian lunisolar calendar. This "LNY" is not at all more inclusive than the CNY.
Looked it up and today is still Saturday January 21 where I am, so it is still New Year on the Mongolian calendar. Both the Chinese and Mongolian lunisolar calendars calculate NY based on the second new moon after the winter solstice. I guess the Chinese calendar uses the day after the second new moon and the Mongolian calendar uses the day of the new moon. The new moon "appears" on January 21 not 22.

I prefer Haerin. I like her cat vibes. I prefer Danielle's stage presence to Hanni's but Danielle and Hanni go back and forth between #2 and 3 for me. The remaining 2 members are cute too but they just interest me less.
