Just A Little Fangirl Love

  Almost a full set of stages for you to watch, and almost a clean sweep for a single group too. Well done. And well done to the rookies for their win as well! Very exciting! We love to see this here.  For our extra stages, we have 82MAJOR on ep. 652 of After School Club from 2024 (complete with the MC challenge if you wanted the step-by-step instructions on how to do their challenge), Weki Meki in 2021 (this is a very cute song and I love it), and the extra stage from this week went to Yang Yoseob because I just watched his Kode he did with Minhyun and I thought it was delightful and adorable. As always, the links in the spreadsheet go to my reviews, the link on down for ASC goes to the full episode because things go a little cattywampus when I try to embed the video, and I hope you have a lovely week!

Release date: 2026 February 12 Album track list: CINEMA , Bloodline Album runtime: 6 mi nutes  The title track is a fantastic length. The other one has a very interesting name, but I'm squinting at that unfortunate runtime. So I'm definitely going to be taking a listen to that when I'm finished here.  This song is Drowning 2.0. Drowning the Return. Drowning 2: Electric Bugaloo . Before the song decides to kick up its heels a little, it's haunting and melancholic with the kind of quiet repetition that forces the song into this humdrum existence until that first chorus and everything changes. The cool thing is that instead of just transitioning into the chorus instrumental, the song tries to have more energy. There are tiny little stopped flickers of energy that ultimately don't go anywhere because the song holds them leashed until the chorus gives it permission to go. I really love his singing voice. This makes sense because I tend to love it when rappers sing as the...

The submissions I've got right now are all soft and lovely, and while I recognize that it's unlikely that y'all are reading these posts in the actual posted order (mostly because I don't have that literally anywhere you can find it and would require you to go through all of my posts to find them in order. And while I would be so unbelievably flattered if you did that, realistically, I know you're highly unlikely to) (ooh, I just had an idea, thanks, Tumblr writers) (a number of days later, that has been implemented and I'm glad to get back to the business , I as writer needed something emotionally very different from the last one I posted. So while this is only a few years earlier than my last one, and only a year younger in group age as a whole, I think you'll agree with me that this is a good contrast for both of them. H.U.B (Hope U Bounce) debuted as a four-member girl group under New Planet Entertainment in 2017. They've had some line-up changes betw...

Release date: 2026 February 02 Album track list:  Godsaeng , Dancing under the Stars, Godsaeng(MR), Dancing under the Stars(MR) Album runtime: 12 mi nutes  It's so nice to be able to be properly creative again instead of administrative and editorial. You have no idea. So I'm going to get some of the songs I've been majorly neglecting done. It's a substantial list unfortunately, so I'm going to get some of the ones I have a good idea that I'm going to like out of the way first to minimize the mental load. And while I couldn't tell you which member Sungmin is right now because I only recognize five on sight and he is not one of them, I'm tentatively hopeful about this. (I am actually vaguely familiar with him as a name and what happened to him, but I didn't remember that until I started digging into the song a little.) I'm very intrigued about the whole MR tracks on this single, but I'll have to take a look at them when I'm done with this. ...

Release date: 2026 February 12 Album track list:  Identity Album runtime: 5 mi nutes  SHE LIVES! I have spent the last four days (five days? Week? Time means nothing anymore) adding in some scaffolding and such to the more than 60 Greatest Hits or Battle of the B-Sides posts I've published, including extra work (some of it major remodeling) to about twenty of those to expand them. You can now start at any of those posts and follow links in chronological publishing order, rather than rely solely on the main hub pages for each set.  I'm writing this paragraph before I even know what song I'm going to do, because I have no idea what's come out recently. I didn't even do the weekly music show wins post. I think ATEEZ got some wins? I don't know. I'm so tired. TVXQ! is apparently the group that gets to be my first after that monster undertaking. There are a few others and I should probably do one for a smaller group that needs the exposure more, but, frankly, the...

Release date: 2026 February 12 Album track list: Forever Mine , Too late , Film, If you leave me, Still with you Album runtime: 18 mi nutes  Whoo! He debuted as a soloist! We get to hear this lovely voice out in the wild now! And the runtime almost makes me want to cry from joy.  Okay, you know what? I'm down with this guitar. It's very calm and comforting. It takes a bit for the drums to properly join in although we get a small burst of them earlier. But the song gets so much time with just the guitar in the instrumental that I'm intrigued and pleased by this. The contrast of the verses and the chorus is delightful, full energy shift.  He's wailing  everyone. It's part of the ad-libs at the end, but it's incredible and I'm not just saying that because his vibrato gets fully unleashed in that little section. It's been such a long time since I've heard a proper wail like that in music. They've fallen out of style, which is fine because musical tre...
