Just A Little Fangirl Love

Release date: 2025 May 26 Album tracklist: Motion, Motion - Instrumental Album runtime: 7 minutes  I have a friend who will be super happy that he released this. I haven't heard it yet, but B.A.P are some of her babies, so I can't imagine she won't be excited. She, like me, really loves the 2012 groups and I think it's hilarious that we didn't originally bond over kpop, but D&D (our characters became joined at the hip rather quickly and also produce probably 90% of the chaos in the party, druid and barbarian. Who would have thought?) I know they  can't go by the name B.A.P, but there's nothing that says I can't call them that. He might actually have been the one to say that in the one clip I saw during promotions for Bang&Jung&Yoo&Moon. All I know is TS Entertainment sucks. Royally. But I also know that this man's voice is in the basement and it sends shivers down my spine. Okay, I'm down with this. Smooth R&B, I'm pretty ...

Release date: 2024 December 18 Album tracklist: Winter Magic, Christmas With You , Snow, Christmas With You - Unplugged, Winter Magic - Instrumental, Christmas With You - Instrumental, Snow - Instrumental Album runtime: 27 minutes  I'm so excited to listen to this. Obviously I'm very excited since I'm actually posting this on the day it releases, but I'm over the moon (pun not intended...mostly) that they're releasing a Christmas album. I've already fallen in love with the teaser, and I was waiting most impatiently for them to actually drop the thing. I'll need to find something else to look forward to for the rest of the week, but I can do that. In the meantime, I'm just going to bask. And Merry Christmas to me, it comes with the instrumentals and an unplugged version. That piano is gorgeous. The piano is the dominant sound going on in the instrumentals, which does make it sound a little bit like lounge music, but it's so unbelievably soothing that ...

 This is going to be the least filled out of these. In the future, I'll be more on top of releases, but considering I started this near the end of the month, I'm going to give myself a pass. Top Releases of the Month : Moonbyul's Is This Love? - I'm really not joking when I say that if this song isn't one of my top listens of the year, I'm going to be really sad. It's basically perfect and...I want more of this. Give me more interesting musical techniques, I beg of the industry. B.A.P's Gone - I just want to wrap myself up in the song and pretend like everything is okay. Is it? I don't know, but what I do know is the fact that they managed to come back together after all the trauma they went through together, even if they aren't fully back together yet, gives me hope for all the groups that didn't deserve what happened to them (and the handful of my small groups that are struggling right now). Honorable Mentions : xikers's Tsuki (Lunatic)...

  Release date: 2024 August 08 Album tracklist: Love, Farewell,  Gone , Stand It All, Way Back Album runtime: 17 minutes As a brief reminder of the fifteen page backstory post, I wasn't into K-Pop when B.A.P were active. But I was also regularly adding their songs to my "Oh, I like this" playlists before I even knew anything about them. Now I'm filled with The Rage over how they were treated by their company, so the fact that they're back together (mostly) after all that is one of the little pleasures in life for me, and likely some major pleasures in life for people who watched their story from the beginning or even started in the middle. I can't wait to see what they do once their maknae rejoins them after he fulfills his military enlistment. And while I could use the name that they released the album under, it's long and they got their trademark, so I'm going to refer to them as B.A.P For now, this first post-disbandment-then-reunion album contains ...
