    I don't know if you have seen this latest VIVIZ news, but I thought I would share this with you in case you have not; apologies if you hate Reddit.

    Let's keep our fingers crossed!

  2. KATSEYE -- Animal
    youtu.be/m7k9UMcHbr0?si=fp-tfz

    The other day I posted that I was newly open to KATSEYE on the strength of the "Animal" teaser, so now that the MV is here I feel I should post my opinion.

    The good: I should say "better", as having the members actually singing marks a huge improvement as far as I am concerned over the awful "Gnarly" and "Pinky Up", but the song is not that interesting. Still, I am pleased that they have gone for the melodic.

    A lot of people have noted the homage to "Bound", that super erotic 1996 neonoir from the Wachowskis. As I watched the MV, I was also reminded of the conceptually similar but musically superior WJSN The Black -- Easy.

    The mystifying: I couldn't follow the plot, if there even was one, of the MV, and was both surprised and puzzled by the sudden appearance of Demi Moore. Perhaps there is some KATSEYE or more general pop culture joke or reference here which has not registered with me.

    The bad: If I told you that "thighs" and "spicy" applied to a sequence of the MV, you would probably give me a knowing wink; little would you know that I was referring to the thighs to be found in the Jollibees Chickenjoy Bucket served with the signature spicy gravy, all on display in the MV starting at 1:54.

    When it comes to product placement in an MV, some consideration has to be given to the matching of product and overall concept. The high end audio of Bose fits with the glamorous aspirations of "Animal", but nothing could be further from that glamour than a fast food fried chicken meal deal. Jollibees is less sharp suits, sexy lingerie, and high heels than graphic tees, baggy shorts, and flipflops.

    Th ugly: Those bleached eyebrows! Daniela ( I think that's her name) looks like something from a horror film.

    In general: better than their most recent releases, but not something I will be saving to my playlist.

    Both Hearts2Hearts and WJSN will be coming back before the end of this month.

    Am I being a greedy multistan when I express a hope for VIVIZ announcing a comeback soon?

    CSR -- Shining Bright

    I enjoy CSR's music, but their not having come back for more than a year and their low budget look here makes me suspect that their agency has run out of money.

    Poor girls! I wish they could be rescued by another agency. They are so talented and such fun, as one can see from their debut MV....

    Thank you for setting up #KpopMonday with this rich but also (reaches for hankie) saddening theme of #WantUBack

    I've posted songs by April before, but never - I think - "The Blue Bird".

    It's an e.one production. So many of the April e.one songs appeal to me as wonderful examples of Christian Horse Girl Music, a Kpop genre I adore, even though I am neither Christian, nor equestrian, nor a woman. In the words of Say My Name's current comeback, "Thank you Jesus, I'm so lucky!"

    April's listeners might have been blessed with some great music, but the members themselves were cursed to fall out in the most horrible way, with accusations of missed rehearsals, lying, theft, and bullying. Disbandment followed. How elusive the blue bird of happiness proves to be!

    With the exception of Sowon, all the members of GFriend are Christians, with Yuju and SinB being Roman Catholics. I wonder if performing this song has any special significance for them.

  8. Kep1er -- Back To The City

    youtu.be/QXKvzrWpFqw?si=UzdbjZ

    I'm not in the best of spirits, so let me try to cheer myself up by posting and playing this stage from a few months ago of one of my favourite kpop songs, the simple but quite wonderful "Back To The City".

    Double bonus:

    - I love the outfits.

    - A leg injury made it impossible for Chaehyun to dance during most of the original promotion, but here she is singing and dancing about the " the best time I ever had".

    If you are also feeling a little glum, perhaps "Back To The City" will perk you up too!
