Song Review:: Wonpil (DAY6): Unpiltered- Piano

-

  • Release date: 2026 March 30
  • Album tracklist: Toxic Love, Highs and Lows, Already Grown Up, Up All Night, Step by Step, Hold My Love, Piano
  • Album runtime: 20 minutes

 We got a music video! I was not expecting the music video! Yay!

I would have been disappointed if the song had featured less piano, given its title. Even when it's no longer the sole instrument, it has such a prominent role in the structure of the instrumental, including opening and closing the song on its own, that it meets expectations well. I also love how we get the feedback sound of plugging something into an amp. I thought it was a door the first time I heard it, but no, that's definitely an amp. 

Ah, a free-range vibrato, allowed to wander through the song and do as it will. Thank you, bands. We've got a couple of different textures going on because of the range of the notes he's dealing with, which is nice, but what surprised and then delighted me was the harmonizing at the end. It's all we want, really. He has given the people (me) what we want.

Ah, this is a yearning, pining song. I love these. And the music video is cool-toned to help support that with emotional color-based coding. Nice.

Song Review:: BTS: ARIRANG- SWIM

Release date: 2026 March 20 Album tracklist: Body to Body, Hooligan , Aliens, FYA, 2.0 , No. 29, SWIM , Merry Go Round, NORMAL, Like Animals, they don't know 'bout us, One More Night, Please, Into the Sun Album runtime: 41 minutes  Well, here we are, folks. A much awaited comeback. Let's just get to it. I did take note of the runtime and we're just shy of a three minute runtime average for the album, and the title track is less than three, which I'm not as pleased about, but that's par for the course with HYBE title tracks lately. At least it's over two-and-a-half minutes, so I'm not going to whine too much. Also, I took off the NU'EST nail polish of two of my nails and painted one of them purple in honor of this comeback. I'm very curious to see what they've got for us and I'll be taking a listen to the whole album to find the song I like best, which is likely to be a b-side given my track record. Parts of this instrumental remind me a l...

Battle of the B-Sides:: MAMAMOO: Destiny

-
Image
 I went back to the roulette wheel for this one because I figure that I can stray again from what I'm familiar with, and instead it gave me the first song I started listening to by MAMAMOO and the reason I continued listening to them. 6000 songs, at least a third of which I've never heard before. And yet, ironically, it's a song called "Destiny" that chaos decided for me. What's even funnier about this is the last song I did was by their younger brothers, who debuted the year this came out. Ah, I'm excited for you to hear this one if you haven't already. MAMAMOO is a four member girl group that debuted in 2014 under RBW. They're known for industry defying behavior (especially when told not to do something), insane vocals, and a level of chaos that has caused them to be called the female BTOB (and BTOB gets called the male MAMAMOO, which is accurate and funny). Also, Changsub and Solar are besties and she's about two days older. Or a day older. ...

Greatest Hits:: HOTSHOT: Watch Out

-
Image
 Hello, everyone! I decided to go back to my origins and use the old roulette wheel to decide on a Greatest Hits from a third gen boy group I have not covered yet. I've been circling around the group quite a lot, ever since the first time I saw their name written in Hangeul and was the first group I read and figured out before I knew them. I did of course check to see if there was a boy group called "HOTSHOT" to see if I'd read that correctly. So, yeah. I'm very curious about this group. They seem really familiar for some reason though, like I should know them more than by name and from After School Club. ...Ah. I just remembered where I knew them. Produce 101. They were one of the other debuted groups that had members join, and I think the only other group to have members debut in Wanna One. Imagine me looking into the camera like I'm in The Office with a "Welp" expression on my face. That realization as I was looking into them for this section dipp...

Greatest Hits:: Oneus: Same Scent

-
Image
 Okay, I did this time what I wanted to do last time and pull from my big playlist. And it gave me a Oneus song that is a fairly recent addition to that playlist and thus is not one of the ones that I know super well. The odds of this happening are hilariously low because I listen to that playlist the most. It's also funny that we got Oneus, because in the numbers game, the odds were not in their favor (10/1306). So, obviously, this song deserves to be here now. Oneus debuted in 2019 as a six-member group under RBW. They're currently down to five, but I still link the sixth member back to them. A lot of their songs have a more traditional sound, which is something that I am down for. And even though they're currently no longer at RBW, they were when this was released. So that gets to be this song's company. Same Scent was the title track of their eighth mini album, Malus, released in 2022, and the last of their six-member releases. It earned the group their second and t...

Greatest Hits:: MAMAMOO: Starry Night

-
Image
 Coming up as we are on March 15th, I'm starting to get emotional. Between certain anniversaries, and a certain member leaving his company on the group disbandment date, I'm not doing incredibly well. So, for the dopamine hit, I picked a group that has very little connection to my boys, other than having two more 95z and their maknae being born within days of one of the members, but also one that I already love. MAMAMOO is the girl group version of my emotional support group, BTOB, and I'm into the emotional support right now for myself.  So I picked an emotional support song because I need it and I'm sure that someone else out there needs it. Starry Night  is, as the post title suggests, the title track for their EP "Yellow Flower" from their Four Seasons, Four Colors series (which serves to highlight each of the four members, beginning here with Hwasa). It kind of feels like half the album got a music video of some sort, something I think is super cool, and ...

Song Review:: Wonpil (DAY6): Unpiltered- Highs and Lows

-
Image
Release date: 2026 March 30 Album track list: Toxic Love, Highs and Lows , Already Grown Up, Up All Night, Step by Step, Hold My Love, Piano Album runtime: 20 mi nutes  This isn't my primary streaming service, but sometimes I get a little confused about title tracks when they're in English in some plays and in Korean in other places, as is the case with this song, and Melon actually labels which song is the title track. So in the event that I do get confused, I will check Melon for confirmation that the song I think is the title track is actually the title track. It's basically the only thing I use Melon for, but I do wish more streaming services would do that. Even before I started this, I liked knowing which song I was "supposed" to listen to (and ignoring it anyway because I come from CDs and didn't understand why one song was special when the album had seven others that I loved to pieces when I was little). But can I just say how much I love that Wonpil ti...

Song Review:: KEYVITUP: KEYVITUP- KEYVITUP {Debut}

-

Release date: 2026 April 08 Album tracklist: BEST ONE, KEYVITUP , LEGENDARY, SHOW ME SOMETHING, POLAROID Album runtime: 14 minutes  How many times can I write their group name before it ceases to have meaning? This is a joke. In all seriousness, this is Jaejoong's first boy group he's debuting (with another coming next month, so if I don't like this one, I may like the next one more since he said they're very different). This is not the group that is set to debut with the two trainees who were on Boys Planet 2 , but regardless I get to see if this is going to be on Underage Protocol or not. We have one member that was at YG Entertainment, one that was at SM Entertainment, and one that was at ADOR, but the maknae is the only one who is underage and he turns seventeen next month, so we are good to go. I don't know why Jaejoong couldn't do that with SAY MY NAME (who are their older sisters, which is a little ironic), but at least he didn't do the same thing wit...

Song Review:: BTS: ARIRANG- Hooligan

Release date: 2026 March 20 Album tracklist: Body to Body,  Hooligan , Aliens, FYA,  2.0 , No. 29,  SWIM , Merry Go Round, NORMAL, Like Animals, they don't know 'bout us, One More Night, Please, Into the Sun Album runtime: 41 minutes  Okay. Next music video from this album. This one I definitely know I've added to some of my playlists. It's not my favorite of the bunch, but I did like it well enough. I'm really annoyed that the vinyl only song is vinyl only because vinyl is difficult to listen to on the go and I love that song. But, it is what it is. I love that introduction. It's all old-timey, then spooky and glitchy. Then it turns to what sounds like knives being dragged across each other. Then we get the old-timey and the spooky and the glitchy behind the knives. Even though it's a little grating, I absolutely love this instrumental because it's both elegant and clangy, and I'm fascinated by it.  I'm less enthused by the amount of rap in this...

Song Review:: Seventeen: SPILL THE FEELS- Eyes on You

-
Image
Release date: 2024 October 14 Album tracklist: Eyes on You,  Love, Fame, Money (feat. DJ Khalid) , 1 to 13, Candy, Rain, Water Album runtime: 18 minutes As excited as I am to see them in about two weeks, I really wish their schedule wasn't as packed as it currently is so they could give some time to their second promoted track. Well, and so they could properly promote their first  title track, but I think I've accepted that part of the unfortunate circumstance. Hopefully they get a little bit of a break at the start of the year. I don't remember if I said this on LFM's review, but I had to round out to get to the 18 minutes. Some of these songs are worryingly short. I'd really like Woozi and Bumzu to not be following that  specific trend. There's a specific b-side from NU'EST that honestly was the first thing I thought of when I first heard this song when it came out, because while this is very  reminiscent of early NU'EST,  it's actually BLACK  fro...

Song Review:: Wheein: adagio- The Symphony of Fxxkboys

-
Image
Release date: 2026 April 16 Album tracklist: The Symphony of Fxxkboys , Truth Hurts  Album runtime: 6 minutes  I think she was the last one to release a solo song (I'll get to Solar's, I promise) leading up to their twelfth anniversary, which is so impressive. And I know I don't talk about her quite as much as I do Moonbyul and Hwasa, but I still love her voice and I think she's so pretty. And she's also really funny. Whole package. And the title of this song sends me back to high school, which was the last time I had to deal with any of them. Ooh, she's giving us a bit of a rock song. Having that during the chorus is a good choice because it helps strengthen the vocal build, but then during the build where it's just a piano, then slamming into the rock again changes the mood of the song from just being pissed to more of a declaration. I also love how the rock has an interrupted rhythm because it strengthens the power of the vocal punch. And you have all of ...
