Just A Little Fangirl Love

 I've done a good batch of submissions. I've done my remodeling on the older posts. And now I'm ready for some energy. Not that the previous one didn't have energy, but this is full youthful energy rather than melancholic energy. This group also has the distinction of being my first baby group and my first K-Pop concert because I decided to go on a total whim and have an adventure for my birthday since they were performing near then. My cousin and I were concerned that we were going to get stuck in San Francisco but it was fine! Also, remember how at some point I said that the first five groups I got into were all March debuts (the first three K-Pop groups I saw were also all March debuts...I don't know why either)? These guys were number three behind NU'EST and BTOB, even though I saw NINE.i perform first (also a March debut for anyone keeping track). And because the end of the month (with their debut) is going to be taken up by a different group's annivers...

Release date: 2026 February 26 Album track list: The Boy In The Mirror (feat. Yun Hyerin), Still Rose , Purple Rain, Full Moon, Replay Album runtime: 15 mi nutes  Their first mini album! Y'all,when I tell you that I love this group, I'm not kidding in the slightest. One of my favorite 2024 debuts, and I had quite a few that year that I kind of fell in love with. I'm actually tentatively excited to review this for you all. I haven't heard it yet, but I have more or less really liked what I've heard of them so far. Also, even to this day, every time I hear "Sweet Devil" I could swear they're saying "Sweet Denim", and it makes me giggle every single time. And I couldn't be happier about the fact that a) second gen idols are getting another chance and b) that the younger ones are still full-grown, in-their-twenties adults. It's like five stresses get lifted off my shoulders when groups debut as adults. The song goes through like three di...

Release date: 2026 February 27 Album track list:  JUMP , GO ,  Me and my, Champion, Fxxxboy Album runtime: 15 mi nutes  Well, here we go. Four more songs added to their discography, which means their entire group discography is still less than forty songs after ten years. Still, despite that, I'm very happy for the BLINKS to be able to get this from them, and I hope you all really enjoy the songs. Good news, the title track is over three minutes, so it's not skimpy that way and I am pleased. The instrumental sounds like two different songs. I actually really like the less packed version, because it reminds me of a song that comes during the ending credits of a YA dystopia based-on-the-book film. It's agitated enough that there's a strong energy to the song, but it's settled enough that the energy reads as determined rather than distressed for the most part. The chorus has a very strong sound by contrast and it's a continued disruption of the rest of the song, bu...

Release date: 2026 February 13 Album track list: Kart Racer Album runtime: 3 mi nutes  Okay. Let's do this. I have no fun little quips or comments to make with this one, but I do know there've been a few of their songs I've liked (I may or may not have one that I'm eyeing for a Battle of the B-Sides post), but I am still curious about anything new to come from them.  This is very much a street music kind of song, complete with some sirens so be careful if you're going to listen to this while driving. It's still, despite both of those things, a somewhat sedate instrumental. Yes, this feels very hip-hop, but it's actually rather chill with a fairly low BPM, or at least a fairly low BPM compared to what I normally listen to. It's taken me a lot longer than it should have to get this one written, so I'm curious about what exactly it is about this song that I'm mentally resisting like this, but at the same time, there's nothing really here that I...
