Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2026 April 29 Album tracklist: Hello-Goodbye; AWAKE ; FEVER; Adore; Love Me Like You Do; Spring, with You Album runtime: 18 minutes      Okay, this is the last of the new songs I downloaded for the productive captivity I’m in on the plane. After that, it’s time to head over to the BBS post that I’ve already started, thank goodness, and start yapping about that. I’m not what it is about this song that makes me think of cold and ice, but I’m picking up on a very particular coolness to the song. There’s a range in the pitches and tones of the instruments we’re hearing, from the low buzz that make for an almost EDM nightclub situation to a skittering beat. The song also uses the stereo system well, though it’s subtle enough that I didn’t catch it until after my half hour nap and I let everything get a bit of a recharge on my end. I feel like this may be a yearning and pining song, which I cannot tell you how much I am here for it. Maybe more yearning than pinin...

Release date: 2026 May 06 Album tracklist: $ECRET no more, ZAP , WORK , TBD, B'yond me, SOUPASTA, OFF-AIR, ZAP - ultraviolet remix, WORK - anonymous remix, SOUPASTA - unconscious remix, DOMINO ~ butterfly effect, cloud palace - collective soul remix Album runtime: 34 minutes  The title track is too short for me to want anything to do with it, not when the first track is obviously a callback to a song I really like of theirs and is also three-and-a-half minutes long. It's also not the shortest song on here, although that's only because the song shorter than it is a remix of this song. Big sigh from me. Big sigh. Still, it's good news that Billlie continues to make and release new music, which is what we're looking for. Bad news (and this is nothing against the members because they had nothing to do with it), this album is currently embroiled in a potential-use-of-AI legal battle. That's another big sigh from me. That's interesting. While most of the aural lan...

Release date: 2013 September 09 Album tracklist: Do I Wanna Know? , R U Mine?, One For The Road, Arabella , I Want It All, No. 1 Party Anthem, Mad Sounds, Fireside, Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?, Snap Out Of It , Knee Socks, I Wanna Be Yours Album runtime: 42 minutes  Guess what, everyone! I get to expand my review offerings! This is not going to be a permanent addition to the lineup of what I write because I don't have enough time to write all of the K-Pop releases, let alone all of the other songs being released literally every day all over the world. However, I've also been very clear about the fact that if you submit a song for a review, I will cover it, no matter how old or who the artist is. It might take me a few days, but it will get done. This is the first time someone has taken me up on that part. Arctic Monkeys is an English (and by that, I mean from England and not speaking English, just for clarification) rock band that I've heard of and I kn...

Release date: 2026 May 06 Album tracklist: SNS (SWEET N SOUR), TA TA , R.U.T Album runtime: 10 minutes  Do my eyes deceive me? Is this actually a three minute title track? Company! Well done! They're still on Underage Protocol for currently having a fourteen-year-old maknae, but at least they're getting songs of a reasonable length.  That is a combination of sounds in the instrumental. It's a bold choice, and not necessarily one that I'm fully into, but since I can't spend some time listening to it to see which side of the fence this would land on, I'm a little bit stuck by my own restrictions. I'm well aware that I've done this to myself, but please refer back to the part about the maknae currently being fourteen almost a year after debut. We've got a couple of moments where after they're fully matured and adults, you can tell that their vocals will be rich. There's some vibrato on display, which I'm delighted to be hearing, and the voca...

 So with the month halfway over, I'm enjoying the rhythm and tempo of the sequential songs, because I think that this is a good order. How have y'all been finding this month's theme? Enjoying the songs so far? Finding any new ones you haven't heard before? Figured out what the theme is yet? I know you can't see my face right now, but I've got a delightful villainous eyebrow waggle going on. PIXY debuted in 2021 under Happy Tribe Entertainment as a six-member group. I'm pretty sure that this is one of the many, many, many  amazingly talented groups that suffered from being at a small company and never quite managing to get a lot of traction. This song is not one of the ones I have saved in various playlists, but I have it on good authority that it fits the theme for the month, and I hope by the end of this, it gets onto some playlists for y'all as well. I'm going to call this group disbanded only because the company went bankrupt and we haven't he...

  So many first wins for songs, and, I think we may have a first win for a group? I think so? If that's the case, then an even bigger congrats!  I miss back when After School Club was active (yes, I'm still in denial) because then I didn't have to pick an artist. And then I didn't miss seeing those three every week. It was nice getting to see what Aron is up to. Sigh. Don't let my melancholy stop you from enjoying Ep. 576 from back in 2023, featuring ATBO, though! For The Show, I went with Cravity (and it was actually my first time hearing that song; whoever is doing the ad-libs there at the end, yowza) in 2020. I grabbed three extra stages for y'all this week. First up, I went with 82MAJOR, then ILLIT, then Xnghan&Xoul, so I hope you enjoy those as much as I did.  As always, any links in the spreadsheet go to my reviews, and then down with the ASC episode, that link goes to the entire episode, which gets a bit wonky when I try to embed it, so I don't tr...
