Title track song

Solo > Flower > On The Ground > Lalisa

B-Side song

Gone>Money>All Eyes On Me

AEOM is truly a b-side.

When Flower first came out I ranked Solo above Flower. However after the dance practice video came out I'm ranking Jisoo #1. Flower really fits Jisoo and her persona, so Jisoo is able to own both the concept and the performance. Lisa's a great performer but I can't with Lalisa and Money. Money has guilty pleasure qualities but I prefer cute songs as guilty pleasures.

On second listen, I've decided I don't like it but I'm still rating it a Blop.

The songs are produced by EL CAPITXN (former HISTORY maknae).

He was involved in producing/writing:

a bunch of BTS songs especially Suga's solo work

Sunmi's NOIR, Pporappippam, etc.

TXT's Ghosting, Anti-Romantic, etc.

Heize's We Don't Talk Together

He also worked with Epik High and Eric Nam.

My bias is Bamby and my bias wreckers are the rap line.

I love how this project is producing aesthetically and sonically appealing content while affectionately poking fun at k-pop conventions at the same time.

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.

Daisy > Shine

You're free to have that opinion, but was 'Daisy' a sleeper hit?

Your favorite K-Pop releases of the first 3 months of 2023.

Mine:

Newjeans 'OMG'
Twice 'Moonlight Sunrise'

XG 'Shooting Star'

TXT 'Sugar Rush Ride'

PLAVE 'Wait for You'

Jisoo 'Flower'

Honorable mention:

Jimin 'Like Crazy' (starts off very strong but loses steam)

Two of these songs are not technically 100% K-Pop but K-Pop adjacent.

Pentagon 'Shine'

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.

Bop

This is how I decided:

VIBE-blop

Set Me Free, Pt.2-flop

Like Crazy-bop

Quote from MissBehave

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).

I like confused and thinking but akp doesn't have thinking.

Quote from nobody4444

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.

You making me hungry.

This thread is making me crave pizza.
