NiziU -- Too Bad
https://youtu.be/b_GqrwmptWo?si=2XpCHzcrymysRrc4Although Nick James of thebiaslist.com, whose pop music taste is not a million miles away from mine, was decidedly lukewarm about this track in his weekly Jpop round up, I must say I love it - it's a great piece of dance pop. It's catchy, with a beat that you just have to move to, and in the final chorus there is ad libbing and a kick in of percussion to make the whole track satisfying.
The MV works well too. It's crammed with detail, so worth replaying with pauses, but doesn't seem cluttered; the co-ordination of colour and outfits helps keep it together. The choreography, executed with the help of back up dancers, is as good as that of a Kpop group.
In fact, this MV exists in that sweet spot where Korean and Japanese idol pop meet. I love it, I love it, I love it!

-- OST
ILLIT sang "Almond Chocolate" as part of the OST for the Japanese film "It Takes More Than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love". Subsequently this MV was released.
Girl group synth /orchestral pop is absolutely my cup of tea, and I am not bothered by the vocal processing. The video is sweet too.

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen KIIRAS – Bang Bang! -- It's Live.
No apologies for featuring this song once again. These girls can sing! The "It's Live" format suits this kind of song particularly well.
The outfits matter here. The denims strike me as so ugly that I am reassured that my love for Kpop is not just a passion for seeing pretty people in pretty dresses.

Songwriting that doesn't shy away from a rather older Kpop sound, impressive vocals, and an entertaining MV make this week's choice a pleasure.

🧵 1/2
A20 follow in the tracks of Sarah Connor and TVXQ.
I'm not quite sure how to classify A20. They're produced by Lee Soo-man but are not #Kpop; even though the members are Chinese and Chinese American, I'm not sure that they count as #Cpop either.
They're being marketed as #zalphapop, but this is the first time I've heard this generational label, which seems to me less helpful than a regional or national tag. Perhaps they should just be tagged as #AsianPop .
Whatever the tag, I like them.
Look at how tall they are!
