Music Show Wins:: Week of 05/21 - 05/27

Image
  This introduction is going to be a bit shorter because I need to ease myself back into this (and also I forgot to publish this on time...). This week was a pretty clean sweep, which was exciting for the group and the fans! Whoo! For the After School Club rerun, it's one from 2023! Mirae was very cute talking about how the entire group has bad eyesight, but they're generally a pretty fun group if this is any indication. I don't know a whole lot about the group, but from this? I could like them. Show Champion: tripleS "Are You Alive" MCountdown: BOYNEXTDOOR "I Feel Good" Music Bank: BOYNEXTDOOR "I Feel Good" Show! Music Core: BOYNEXTDOOR "I Feel Good" Inkigayo: BOYNEXTDOOR "I Feel Good" ASC Performance: 20230731  Mirae "JUMP!"

Music Show Wins:: Week of 05/14 - 05/20

  Another week, another batch of music show wins! This week we got a full set of wins and only one repeat, so that's lots of stages I get to share with you all! Excitement! And four of these wins are first wins for the song, so that's even cooler! Whoo!  For the ASC re-run, I didn't mean to pick another debut. I picked one at random, went "Oh, Seungmin is a host. Oh! This was for NATURE's debut!" Fun times had by all. Three of the members had been in South Korea less than a year, which was cool to learn, and their 2x speed choreography was adorable. A little bit of chaos, a little bit of leggy coltish energy (yes, I know the difference between colt and filly but it's easier and less awkward to say coltish rather than fillyish, which spell check is telling me is not a word), but overall, precious. Also, them singing their debut song in a couple of different languages was cool. Show Champion: P1Harmony "DUH!" MCountdown: MEOVV "Hands Up" ...

Song Review:: tripleS: ASSEMBLE25- 깨어 (Are You Alive)

Image
Release date: 2025 May 12 Album tracklist: @% (Alpha Percent), 깨어 (Are You Alive) , 추리소설 (Detective Soseol), 어제 우리 불꼭놀이 (Firework Diary), Love Child, Persona, Too Hot, Diablo, Friend Zone, Love2Love Album runtime: 30 minutes  This is the second of their full group releases, correct? I don't think I actually listened to the first one last year, although I heard pretty good things about it. It's also incredibly ambitious for the company, and I applaud that. However, especially with how many members they have, I'm diametrically opposed to the age of the youngest members because at that point the company is being ridiculous. They clearly had enough trainees. They didn't need to debut any of them under the age of sixteen. So the group as a whole is going under Underage Protocol until 2028, unless they get another maknae, but the subunits will be on a case-by-case basis. I think that's the most fair way to do things. Also! This song got a win on The Show , so I'm very...

Song Review:: Vision@ry Vision (tripleS): Visionary Vision (Performante)- Hit the Floor {Debut} {subunit}

Image
Release date: 2024 October 23 Album tracklist: Visual Virtue, Hit the Floor , Choom, Eclair, Love Soseol, Atmosphere (VV Ver.), 12 Rings, Vision, Bionic Power, Visionary Vision Album runtime: 25 minutes  When you have a group as large as tripleS is, you almost by definition need subunits, and today we have the debut of another one, which makes the ninth one if I'm understanding this correctly. Or possibly the eighth one. I just realized that the only reason I know anything about the whole is the number of members they have, which is twenty-four (24). I was going to listen to the song they put out in the spring, the first one with the whole group, but I don't think I ever did. Oh, so the group is kind of what NCT was envisioned to be. Yes? Am I understanding that correctly? And there's going to be another subunit debuting in November? Am I also understanding that correctly? This group has a lot to keep track of. Hats off to fans of the group. I don't have the energy for ...
