6th Station ~Other Bands for H!P Fans~

[Moh]

Since people were talking about KPop being bigger than JPop in the musings/rants thread...

KPop is generally more accessible by international audiences than JPop is.
Most official channels aren't region restricted, have full videos, 1080p, and closed captions for translations.
A lot of acts also go to different countries/continents. Example: Amoeba Culture is coming to Atlanta and I'm really pissed about it.

Whether anyone likes it or not is all a matter of personal preference, but more people will find it because it's easier to find it.

Some of my favourite non-H!P/*48 (not including Momoclo or BABYMETAL either because I assume people know them) idol songs because y'know, there's actually some good shit out there and people are trying too hard to be haters.

BELLRING Shoujo Heart - yOUrari

Starra...working my way slowly through that list but I just want to say that that BELLRING Shoujo Heart album (BedHead) is incredible. Just when I was feeling a bit jaded. I like want to write a song about how good it is. Ugh. Mou. Whatever.

Moh, imma get to your list too. Thanks for sharing this stuff, guys.

I like K-Pop from the late 90s up to the mid 2000s wayyyyyy more than some of the more recent stuff.

Hey. Hey you guys. Psst, yeah, you. And you. Stop what you're doing. Watch this. Don't skip anything. Watch the whole video.


When I say Takagaki Ayahi is an amazing singer, I mean she's an amazing singer.

[esm]

I didn't listen to BoA's latest Japanese album properly when it was released, but gosh... this is probably one of her best ballads. It gets better and better as the song goes on.

[Zunu]

Hmm, BoA would've made a good contemporary country singer.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

^ Agreed, based on that song. Reminds me just a bit of Faith Hill or Jessica Andrews.

Edit: Linda III Sei managed to gain four trainees (cadets) and lose a member in the span of a few weeks. Geez.

[Moh]

esm: Yessss, I love that song. Her b-sides have been so good lately.

Song of the week for me:


He's coming to Atlanta, too. I'M SO MAD. All these people I like finally coming to Atlanta and idek if I'll still be close enough at that time.
