Usually you and I don't get along too well all the time but this has me dying. I love you for this.

Not a happy day for me as today is my father's second anniversary and christmas will always be associated with losing him. I have lit a candle in his honour and reflected on his life and what a wonderful father he was. I have lost both parents now and it is damn hard.
im so sorry for your loss. i'm not sure what you believe in but i believe he's proud of you, i'm sure both of your parents are. 
yep. except replace that last word

as a vinyl collector this makes my heart so happy.
this sounds so fucking good what the literal fuck. giving pinkpantheress but with stronger ariana-esque vocals.

Display MoreI think the title of this OP is BS, but yeah, Cheshire flopped digitally on all fronts.
I don't agree with most of the takes in this thread. Sneakers was totally an ITZY song, and it was much like Dalla Dalla and ICY. Cheshire COULD have been an ITZY song if the chorus was stronger and choreo more eye catching. They lost international attention because the attention of international fans was taken by IVE, New Jeans, LSFM, Aespa (to a lesser degree) and IDLE. Plus, i-fans thought Sneakers was childish (same thing was said about Dalla Dalla mind you).
Like I said in the last thread that discussed this, JYPE tries too hard to appeal to both the West and Korea/and does not know how to at the same time, and going back and forth killed their momentum on both sides. They also refuse to do individual promotions, and just look at New Jeans, IVE, and LSFM, all of them are snatching up the big name brand deals, INDIVIDUALLY. I think every member of New Jeans has a luxury brand deal. That's how you build individual brand power that ultimately helps the group (we learned this from BP and Twice -oof I hate to say it- and are now seeing it play out with ITZY too).
ITZY can come back. Red Velvet is a great example of a GG that has gone through valleys of flopping (don't think they ever flopped as hard a Cheshire though lmao) and coming back stronger. ITZY can do it too. All it takes is a good song and deciding what direction they want to take, which I don't know if JYPE knows what either of those are anymore lmao. Going from MITM to Loco to Sneakers to Cheshire is wild af. All (except Cheshire) are good songs imo, but released in the wrong order at the wrong time. Stop trying to release Korean GP songs and then Western focused songs, and release GOOD music with ITZY's overall identity in mind. I thought ITZY's long ass hiatus before Sneakers was them spending time reconfiguring their approach (then Sneakers did well in Korea so I was hopeful), but then they dropped Cheshire and I was back confused again.
Maybe it is time for JYPE to demolish their whole, different groups/different teams idea. Not sure if it's working anymore. NMIXX and ITZY both releasing Alice in Wonderland themed comebacks one after the other with ZERO correlation was damning. Then again, JYPE did say they care more about album sales than digitals (and ITZY's growing in that aspect), so maybe they don't gaf as long as they get their money lol.
Either way, flop or not, I'm along for this ride LMAO.
W take fr
jyp is a stupid ass company
on god. if Racer was title track for Sneakers album and they picked a completely new and hard hitting song as title track (i prefer Snowy yes but i'm not 100000% it's title track material) i can guarantee you this thread wouldn't exist
Guys, let's leave the Twitter drama to the cesspool that is twitter. I'm sure everyone on AKP, including AKP EXOLS can see how delusional it is to claim this.
akp ban twitter drama after anons and random thoughts thread challenge!

Where else can I be a contrarian jerk incognito, carefully altering and changing my typing style, grammar and punctuation to look like many different people?
LMAOOOO BC I MADE A THREAD CALLING THIS OUT
